Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles are in a New York state of mind…

The New York Film Critics Circle have revealed their award-winning films of the year, with the 52-year-old Brazilian filmmaker and the 40-year-old Brazilian filmmaker’s Bacurau picking up an award.

Mendonça Filho and Dornelles’ western/thriller took home the Best Foreign Film prize.

The movie, which stars Sonia Braga, Udo Kier, Bárbara Colen, Thomas Aquino, Silvero Pereira and Karine Teles, was in contention to be the country’s Oscar submission last year, and was passed over in favor of Karim Ainouz’s The Invisible Life of Euridice Gusmao.
