Nobody Must Die

About This Movie

So, 'Nobody Must Die' is this wild mashup of genres that really defies easy categorization. Directed by Petter Baiestorf, it’s not your typical comedy or Western. The film's tone is absurd and irreverent, leaning heavily into dark humor while also incorporating musical elements in a bizarre way. The pacing can feel uneven, but that kind of adds to its charm. You’ve got the Gunslinger Nobody, who refuses to engage in some pretty outrageous situations, and that sets off a series of events that are both hilarious and unsettling. The practical effects have that homemade feel, and the performances are all over the place, but in a way that's strangely fitting for the absurdity of the narrative. It’s definitely distinctive, and not for the faint of heart.

Not for everyone; audiences should be prepared for odd humor. · Great example of underground cinema from Brazil. · Interesting exploration of taboo themes through absurdity.
