Description

Disc 2 (Blu-ray) contains the feature film (new 4K digital master, approved by director Kleber Mendonça Filho). Blending kinetic energy with elegiac historical sweep, Kleber Mendonça Filho links life under Brazil's twentieth-century military dictatorship to the present day in a kaleidoscopic period thriller. In 1977, a man (Wagner Moura) arrives in Recife under the alias Marcelo, hoping to make a fresh start with his young son. But the threat of violence closes in at once, and around him swirl corrupt cops, grimy hit men, haunted exiles, and a wild urban legend that sparks a public frenzy. Spinning continually off its temporal and narrative axes, the film unfurls an epic canvas teeming with life and love for those who refuse to submit to systems of oppression.
