The Secret Agent
15

Coming soon • From Fri 20 Feb
Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho painstakingly recreates the Recife of the 70s dictatorship years in this sprawling, colourful spy thriller like no other. Winner of Best Director and Best Actor at Cannes.
Drama • Riveting • Political
Part of Winter Film Forum

Master filmmaker Kleber Mendonca Filho (Neighbouring Sounds, Aquarius, Bacurau) teams up with a superb Wagner Moura (Narcos, Civil War) for this rich, arresting, novelistic political thriller that has been hailed by critics as a fascinatingly unpredictable, shape-shifting epic.

Steeped in history, The Secret Agent also feels remarkably contemporary, paying tribute to the genre blockbusters of Filho’s youth while depicting a world of everyday corruption, threat and political turmoil that speaks to the present moment.
