Driven by fierce action, dynamic intensity, and unique language this epic thriller reinvents the 1965 classic film adaptation of the 1956 novel “Grande sertão: veredas” by João Guimarães Rosa. In the concrete jungles of lawless futuristic Brazil, enemies spout slam poetry in duels as their movements remind us of parkour. The adrenaline rush breaks into three timelines: the past introduces teenager Riobaldo and handsome Diadorim, the present depicts a bloody clash and reveals sexual identities, and the future exposes Riobaldo’s deal with the devil.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
