In this genre-bending political allegory, the inhabitants of a bucolic village become the targets of a group of corporate mercenaries bent on their displacement. A fierce confrontation takes place when the townspeople turn the tables on the villainous outsiders, banding together by any means necessary to protect and maintain their remote community. The mercenaries just may have met their match in the fed-up, resourceful denizens of little Bacurau. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, the film was released in March 2020 and barely saw in-person screenings.
