Kleber Mendonça Filho’s darkly comic political thriller not only won Best Director and Actor (Wagner Moura) at Cannes this year but also scored 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. A teacher marked for death by Brazil’s military dictators in 1977 returns home to Recife, a coastal city whose citizens, traumatized by disappearing friends and Spielberg’s Jaws, are about to celebrate Carnival.
