Kleber Mendonça Filho - The Secret Agent

In the Brazil of 1977, Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. He arrives in Recife during carnival week in the hope of reuniting with his son, but soon realizes that the city is far from the non-violent sanctuary he is looking for. In The Secret Agent you feel how terrifying it is to live under an authoritarian regime. Music, from carnival samba to seventies hits, plays an important role in the film. And superstar Wagner Moura of course too. 2025 | political thriller | 160 min. | Brazil
