O Homem que Matou John Wayne

Ruy Guerra has an unexpected encounter with John Wayne. The confession of this metaphorical murder opens the filmmaker’s Pandora’s box and sews a poetic journey through the ideas of Guerra.

“The Man Who Killed John Wayne” is a docudrama that explores the life and work of filmmaker Ruy Guerra through a metaphorical confession: that of having “killed” John Wayne. The film uses this metaphor as a starting point for a journey through Guerra’s filmography, from his early works to his most recent productions. It includes interviews with the director himself, as well as testimonies from notable figures such as Werner Herzog, Chico Buarque, and Gabriel García Márquez.
