What's left behind the scenes

  • The school shown in the film is named Joao Carpinteiro. In Brazilian Portuguese, this translates to "John Carpenter." The film's director, Kleber Mendonça Filho, is a great admirer of Carpenter's films.
  • The village of Bacurau is fictional. In reality, the film was shot in the hamlet of Barra, near the town of Parelhans in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The village has a population of 80 people, most of whom participated in the production as laborers and extras. After filming was completed, the filmmakers organized a special screening in Barra, which was attended by nearly 3,000 people.
  • Approximately 10 years passed between the initial idea for the project and its realization, and the final version of the script was completed three years before the premiere.
  • The film was named after the last morning bus route in Recife. The name derives from "nightjar." In the language of the Tupi people (who inhabited almost the entire coast of Brazil before the arrival of Europeans), these birds are called "wakura'wa."
  • The film contains references to so-called 'cangaço' (a form of social banditry in Brazil in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where people became nomadic bandits roaming the country in search of money, sustenance, and revenge) and to its most famous representative, Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, nicknamed Lampião (1897-1938), whose gang terrorized even small towns.
