Screening as part of our Brazilian Summer Nights season alongside Cine Brazil.
Sunday's screening will have a live introduction with André Souza Machado Cortez from the Embassy of Brazil.
From Kleber Mendonça Filho (The Secret Agent) and Juliano Dornelles comes a daring, intoxicating blend of neo-Western, siege thriller and political allegory—powerfully resonating with today’s Brazil, where the film was a box-office hit! A winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, starring Udo Kier and Sônia Braga.
Presented with English subtitles
André Souza Machado Cortez is a diplomat with Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Counsellor at the Embassy of Brazil in London, where he heads the Cultural Section. He has previously served in Japan, Italy and Palestine.
We're launching a new strand here at the Lexi called LEXI SELECTS!
Our programming team bring you a curated weekly release that didn't get the attention it deserved here. Some may be films we missed from earlier this year, some may be from a few years ago, but they're all exceptional films which we think our audience will adore.
Bora reunite for more unmissable Brazilian cinema at The Lexi Cinema in partnership with Cine Brazil!
Throughout August we're screening 4 Brazilian classics from the 2000s, and in September a bonus film to close things out.
Rewatch the saudosos classics or catch them for the first time on the big screen.
