Jungle Cineclub: 'Black God, White Devil' at Rich Mix
Social woes, religious extremism & violence. Black God, White Devil delves into Rocha's deep wonder with the mystical legends & folk traditions. Man must determine his path by his own conscience.

This month, Jungle Cine club brings to you the fantastic film Black God, White Devil. Considered by international critics to be one of the best Brazilian films of all times, Black God, White Devil was written and directed by Rocha when he was just 20 years old. The film delves into the director’s deep fascination with the mystical legends and folk traditions of the scarred and barren region in northeastern Brazil. The powerful, mind-bending imagery details the saga of two murderous peasants and a messianic priest who’s disturbing and violent beliefs threaten the Catholic Church. Rocha’s dazzling masterpiece is a cry for man to determine his own path by his own voice. Its moving socio-political message, coupled with its raw cinematic power, renders Rocha's film as dynamic, vigorous and modern as ever.

“Black God, White Devil is the most beautiful thing I have seen in more than a decade, filled with a savage poetry.” — Luis Buñuel
