A cowherd murders his boss in an argument over money, and goes on the run with his long-suffering wife, becoming entangled with various religious figures and notorious bandits – such as Antônio das Mortes, Corisco, and São Sebastião – along the way, in this powerful, if vaguely irreverent, 1930s-set Brazilian western. Rocha’s decidedly potent visual storytelling and some strong performances combine to good effect.
