Bukovinka Film Club presents on Friday, May 22 at 19:30 the Brazilian political thriller Secret Agent (directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho). The film won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, a Golden Globe, and four Oscar nominations including Best Picture. Wagner Moura (Narcos) plays Marcelo, a technology expert who in 1977 – during the military dictatorship – seeks refuge for himself and his son in the coastal city of Recife, only to discover he is being hunted by hired assassins.
The evening will include a traditional introduction dedicated to the filmmakers and the history and present-day Brazil. Brazilian refreshments will also be served.
Why this film? "I love Kleber Mendonça Filho's films because they always manage to surprise me and are never what they seem to be – whether thematically or in genre. Secret Agent is an original take on the political spy thriller with references to iconic genre pieces of that era, yet it plays with conventions boldly and freely. I have a somewhat darker vision of the ideal 'cozy film,' and Secret Agent fulfills it perfectly: the colors, the sensations, the atmosphere, and the incredibly charismatic Wagner Moura. Kleber's new film delivers everything I would want from an ideal film experience… and I think Udo Kier could not have chosen a better role for his farewell." — Beata Mrazíková | Aerofilms
