Sinekatalog’s take

Glauber Rocha's Cinema Novo western follows a hired gunman who killed a legendary bandit and starts questioning which side he serves. Wild, colourful and operatic, it is a fierce, mythic political allegory of Brazil.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
