The Aurora Film Society Virtual Film Club brings you “Bacurau” for our August 18th discussion.
In the near future, the people of Bacurau, an impoverished, rural settlement in the fictional municipality of Serra Verde, in western Pernambuco, gather for the funeral of Carmelita, an elderly woman seen as the matriarch of the community. Her granddaughter Teresa (Bárbara Colen), now a young woman, returns to town after many years for the occasion, as well as to deliver some medicine to the town. In the following days, the village experiences a sequence of strange events, including telephone signals going down, the town inexplicably disappearing off of maps and GPS, sightings of UFO-shaped drones and an unnamed couple from Rio de Janeiro passing through town on motorcycles.
