While watching Black God, White Devil I noticed that the film in my opinion is pretty stylized in its delivery of actions and dialogue. One scene in particular that reflects this to me is the scene when Manoel, who is deeply brainwashed by saint Sebastião’s cult teachings is willing to turn in Rosa to please the cult leader. The crowd of followers surround the couple at the mountain top while Rosa wails loudly. The eeriness of it all is she is being unheard in a sea of madness where she seemingly can see through saint Sebastião’s ruse. This moment for me given the camera panning around the ordeal reminds me of almost a stage play in its dramatics and captures the lack of acknowledgement for a woman’s logical heed of danger that Rosa can sense.
