2024-02-01 3.5 The composer of the film, Sérgio Ricardo, went on to make several feature films on his own in the 70s. One of which is called The Night of the Scarecrow and in my opinion is better than this apparently much more well known classic. The musical vibe in both are very, very similar, and there's similarities with regards to the themes of class struggle, poverty and exploitation, religion and cult, and masculine showdowns that won't end well. Yet that one is lot more bonkers with much crazier camera movements and easier to follow narrative. This one pans slowly and riddled with symbolism, still happy to have seen it in restored form on big screen.
