Decision to Leave (2022)

Lost Highway (1997)

Bacurau (2019)
Blending neo-Western, siege thriller, and social commentary, Bacurau is a gripping and provocative tale that resonated deeply with Brazilian audiences. Winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, this genre-defying film features unforgettable performances from Udo Kier and Sônia Braga.
