Episode 475: Black God, White Devil (1964)

Cinema Novo month continues with a look at Glauber Rocha's Black God, White Devil (1964) (and its follow-up, Antonio Das Mortes from 1969). It's two stories in one as our main character, Manuel, kills his boss and then goes on the run, becoming a follower of Sebastian (the Black God of the title) before eventually becoming a follower of Corisco (the White Devil).

Ken Stanley and Chris Stachiw join Mike to discuss Rocha's work before and after the political coup that changed Brazilian history.
