  Period piece about a Brazil that is no more. The movie is the sequel to God & The Devil In The Land Of The Sun and takes place 29 years after Antonio Das Mortes killed Corisco (The Blonde Devil) last of the Cangaceiros. In 'the old days' Antonio's function in life was to exterminate these bandits on account of his personal grudges against them. His life had been meaningless for the last 29 years but now a new challenge awaits him. When a Cangaceiro appears in Jardim Das Piranhas the local land Baron (Jofre Soares) an old man does what seems obvious to him; he calls on Antonio Das Mortes killer of Cangaceiros. At first Antonio is ecstatic. His life has regained some meaning. But soon it becomes obvious that this new Cangaceiro (named Coirana) is no Corisco but an idealist. An idealist of the sixties in the garb of the forties. A leader to the hopeless and the hungry. Antonio Das Mortes begins to reconsider his feelings towards Coirana and his followers.

  Following hot on the heels of the success of Black God White Devil comes the second film in Brazilian director Glauber Rocha's famous trilogy; Entranced Earth (Terra EmTranse) a bold confrontational and vibrant picture that stands as one of the greatest pieces of work from a director widely considered to be the leader of Brazil's Cinema Novo movement. In the fictitious Latin American country of Eldorado the idealistic and anarchist poet Paulo Martins lies near death reflecting on the great struggle of his life; a conflict between the populist liberal governor and right wing conservative party leader. Torn between the madness of the elite and the blind submission of the masses he finds nothing is truly as it seems as he begins to understand the true price an artist must pay for commitment to a cause. A brash unflinching and unashamedly confrontational film Entranced Earth asks a series of difficult questions about the true nature of politics and life in Latin America and the tense shift that the world was going through in the 1960s. Compulsory viewing for anyone interested in Glauber Rocha and/or Brazilian/Latin American political cinema Entranced Earth is highly impacting historically important film that asks tough questions and forces the viewer to truly think before answering honestly.
