The Secret Agent

Bild von

Brazil, 1977. Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. He arrives in Recife during carnival week, hoping to reunite with his son but soon realizes that the city is far from being the non violent refuge he seeks. Kleber Mendonça Filho (Bacurau – Cannes Jury Prize, Aquarius – Cannes Competition) brings us a gripping political thriller set in the late seventies during the final years of Brazil’s military regime starring Narcos’ Wagner Moura.

Pressestimmen

«The movie luxuriates in an inebriating sense of time and place that speaks of Mendonça Filho’s intense love for the setting... One of the best films of the year.» The Hollywood Reporter

«That striking foresight to speak to the here and now via a character study mostly unfolding half a century ago is what makes The Secret Agent a formidable achievement.» The Playlist

«A cinematically dazzling period drama.» Variety

«Filho exhumes the past as the basis for a purely fictional story, and in doing so articulates how fiction can be even more valuable as a vehicle for truth than it is as a tool for covering it up.» IndieWire
