Antonio Das Mortes

The film returns to the Brazilian Sertao 29 years after Antonio das Mortes killed Corisco, last of the Cangaceiros. The legendary 'warrior saint' Antonio (Maurício do Valle) is now the central character a jagunco (hired gunman) contracted to kill cangaceiros and protect a powerful landowner. He tracks down and kills the members of a guerrilla band, only to realize after killing the last rebel in ritualistic combat that his fight should be against the landowners rather than the dispossessed country folk.
