Movie Poster of the Week: Mapping "Bacurau"

"Titled “Mapping Bacurau,” the series has been handpicked by filmmakers Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles to highlight the varied cinematic influences behind their current arthouse-meets-grindhouse sensation. The result is a baker’s dozen of eccentric horror movies, spaghetti westerns, revenge saga,s and essential texts of the Cinema Novo movement. Having art directed the U.S. poster for Bacurau with illustrator Tony Stella and designer Midnight Marauder, it was fascinating to see how the posters for these films had echoes in our final design, even if only coincidentally. One of which was not coincidental: after seeing a first draft of Kleber and Juliano’s wish list I took a look at the Wake in Fright (a.k.a. Outback) posters and sent the American one to Tony since I thought it had a rather Stella-esque style. The blinding hot sun from that poster ended up in Bacurau."
