Class struggle, evil preachers, infanticide, and mystical visions populate this little-seen Brazilian classic which is something like an art-house proto-Spaghetti Western. The Criterion collection edition includes documentaries on director Glauber Rocha, Brazilian new wave films (“cinema novo”), and banditry. On Blu-ray or DVD (no UHD available). Buy Black God, White Devil.

Crumb Catcher (2023): Discussion begins. A newlywed couple are accosted by a couple of entrepreneurs intent on getting them to invest in their get-rich-quick device: a crumb catcher. “Absurd” and “odd” are some of the words turning up in reviews. Crumb Catcher official site.

The Platform 2 (2024):  Discussion begins. The 2019 original featured a simple plot: a mysterious, tiered prison type of complex where the inmates were fed from a large platform that gradually descended down the levels, leaving little but crumbs and garbage for those stuck in the basement. Netflix financed a sequel to their pandemic-era hit, five years later. Debuts October 4.  More at Variety.
