I’m Still Here

–Dir. Walter Salles. 2024. 137 min. Brazil. DCP. With Fernanda Torres, Selton Mello, Fernanda Montenegro. Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship. We are introduced to the Paivas: father Rubens, mother Eunice (Golden Globe winner Fernanda Torres), and their five children. They live by the beach, in a rented house with doors constantly open to friends. The affection and humor they share among themselves form a subtle form of resistance to the oppression that hangs over the country. One day, they suffer a violent and arbitrary act that will forever change their lives. In the aftermath, Eunice is forced to reinvent herself and carve out a new future for herself and her children. The moving story of this family, based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir, helped to reconstruct an important part of Brazil’s hidden history. Winner of the 2025 Academy Award for Best International Feature. A Sony Pictures Classics release.
