Abstract

This work analyzes Brazil’s Afro-Indigenous Latinidad in the movie Bacurau (2019) by Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles. The production’s color-coded scheme shaped the methodology and discussion of this study. Namely, it shows how colors helped a Quilombo settlement in the Brazilian sertão to resurge, in the cangaço, as a territory of Brazilian Latinidad. In the film, the Brazilian government sells the village of Bacurau to a Euro-American human-hunting militia to initiate the international commoditization and exploitation of their water resources. Therefore, Bacurau seems to share with other Latin American countries a history of (neo)colonial exploitation of human and nonhuman nature. Thus, through a comparative analysis of movies and color-coded schemes, it was possible to crosslist shared features of Brazilian Latinidad with other productions in Latin American cinema. As a result, we witness the Brazilian Afro-Indigenous Latinidad emerge from minimal cinematic representation in early modernity, especially in black and white cinema, to a pluriversal featuring of its colorful identity under the umbrella of post-modern green-environmental cinema.
