The Secret Agent
[O agente secreto] directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, Brazil/ France/ Germany/ The Netherlands 2025, 158'
- The Secret Agent is one of the most electrifying titles in recent years. Nominated for four Academy Awards, winner of two Golden Globes and two awards at the Cannes Film Festival, this latest work by Kleber Mendonça Filho (Aquarius, Bacurau)—one of the world’s most distinguished contemporary directors—evokes the spirit of classic gangster cinema. It masterfully blends social drama with epic scale, humor with sex appeal, and nostalgia with dread.
- Set in 1970s Brazil during Carnival, the film unfolds in a sun-drenched Recife on the brink of madness. Amidst the dancing crowds, people are vanishing; a shark is found on the beach with a human leg in its belly, and two assassins circulate through the masses on a clandestine mission...
- The vibrant colors and joy are merely a facade for a brutal military dictatorship. Marcelo, the protagonist of The Secret Agent, is a man accidentally entangled in a web of political and criminal intrigue reaching the highest levels of power. His integrity has made him a target of a corrupt system where every step could be his last. How can one save themselves and their family in a world of brutal violence, false identities, wiretaps, and lies?
- For his portrayal of the "last honest man" in a country rotten to the core, Wagner Moura earned a Golden Globe, a Cannes award, and is a frontrunner for his first Oscar. Known for Narcos, Elite Squad, and Civil War, Moura navigates this labyrinth of dirty secrets with the effortless grace of an old Hollywood star.
- The Secret Agent is a tribute to the cinema of Sergio Leone, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola, mirroring their scale and spirit. Yet, Mendonça Filho refreshes and reinterprets the gangster-spy genre, transcending clichés and traditional boundaries. Spectacular, gripping, and insightful, the film reveals a profound truth not only about the past but about our present times.
