Confusion in Cannes after the world premiere of ‘Bacurau’: was this a western? A sci-fi? A bandit movie? The answer: a mix of all those things and, moreover, a socially critical view of contemporary Brazil. The film takes place a few years into the future, when parts of society seem to be disappearing in Bacureau. The Cannes Jury wasn't confused at all and honoured the film with their Jury Prize.
