Show notes
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 (opens in a new tab) and Chris Stachiw (opens in a new tab) join Mike to discuss Rocha's work before and after the political coup that changed Brazilian history.

Anonymous Great episode. Love both these films, so was great to hear you talk about them. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds them strange but mesmerizing.
