Master filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho teams up with renowned actor Wagner Moura, giving an extraordinary, career-defining performance, to craft a thrillingly unpredictable, playfully shape-shifting epic steeped in history even as it feels remarkably contemporary, paying affectionate tribute to the movies of Filho’s youth while unfolding against the backdrop of political turmoil and palpable danger.
Brazil, 1977. Marcelo (Moura), a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. Hoping to reunite with his son, he travels to Recife during Carnival but soon realizes that the city is not the safe haven he was expecting.
Reviews
