Event Description

Master filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho (Aquarius, Bacurau) delivers a rich, novelistic political thriller.

1977, Brazil: Amid the revelry of Carnival, widower Marcelo arrives in vibrant, violent Recife. A technology researcher who suddenly finds himself an unwitting target in the heart of the dictatorship’s political maelstrom, Marcelo is on the run from mercenary killers and the ghosts of the past. With threats mounting, Marcelo, assisted by compatriots in the country’s growing underground resistance, remains focused on escaping Brazil with his young son. Steeped in history, The Secret Agent also feels remarkably contemporary, depicting a world of everyday corruption, threat and political turmoil that speaks to the present moment.
