The Secret Agent
The Secret Agent is one of the most electrifying titles of recent years. Nominated for four Oscars (including Best Picture), winner of two Golden Globes and two awards at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film by Kleber Mendonça Filho (Aquarius, Bacurau), one of the most outstanding directors in contemporary world cinema, evokes the spirit of classic gangster films. At the same time, it boldly combines social themes with epic grandeur, humor with sex appeal, nostalgia with horror. Mendonça Filho's film is set in Brazil in the 1970s during Carnival. Bathed in scorching sun, the city of Recife is on the verge of madness: people are dying during the dance-filled festival, a shark with a human leg in its stomach is found somewhere on the beach, and two killers with a secret mission are circulating among the crowds... The colors and joy are only superficial—these are times of brutal military dictatorship.
Marcelo, the protagonist of The Secret Agent, is a man accidentally entangled in a web of political and criminal intrigues reaching the highest echelons of power. He was honest, so he became a target of a corrupt system, and now every step he takes could cost him his life. How can he save himself and his family in a world of brutal violence, false identities, wiretaps, and lies?

For his role as the last righteous man in a country rotten to the core, Wagner Moura won a Golden Globe, an award at Cannes, and now has a chance to win his first Oscar.
Known for his roles in the series Narcos, Elite, and Civil War, the actor navigates a maze of dirty secrets with the ease and charm of old Hollywood stars.
The Secret Agent is a tribute to the cinema of Sergio Leone, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola, to which it refers in scale and spirit.
However, Mendonça Filho refreshes and reinterprets gangster-spy cinema, going beyond clichés and genre boundaries. Spectacular, exciting, and insightful, it reveals a piece of truth not only about the past, but also about our times.
