THE SECRET AGENT
O Agente Secreto
Brazil, 1977. Fleeing danger, technology expert Marcelo arrives in Recife during carnival, hoping to reunite with his son—only to find the city rife with unrest. In THE SECRET AGENT, Kleber Mendonça Filho crafts a sun-drenched political noir, blending historical intrigue, Brazilian folklore, and cinematic flourishes like split screens and diopter shots. Anchored by Wagner Moura’s magnetic performance, this slow-burn thriller immerses viewers in a tense, visually rich portrait of a nation in turmoil and a man caught in its currents.
