Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol

God and the Devil in the Land of the Sun is an impactful film. A film that knows how to perfectly approach what it wants. When it is necessary to use violence, he is not afraid to use it. Violence is very recurrent throughout the entire film and used in a very intelligent way. Brutality is essential in this film. Everything has a symbolism behind it in this film. Each dialogue is beautiful and meaningful. Glauber Rocha manages to develop a plot very well and take advantage of very simple things like silence. Silence is a tool widely used in the film. It's incredible how each scene where you hear nothing but the ambient sound can tell us so many things. It's an interesting adventure filled with violent scenes, but they are never inserted with the sole aim of shocking the viewer.
