Description
I'm Still Here
Brésil-France 2024 | Walter Salles | vostEN | 138’ | digital | Cast : Fernanda Torres, Fernanda Montenegro, Selton Mello
► Best International Feature Film, Oscars 2025
Brazil, 1971. Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship. Eunice Paiva, a mother of five children, is forced to reinvent herself after her family suffers a violent and arbitrary act by the government.
« I’m Still Here does not present as a simple polemic about a historical and political situation, and that’s the secret to its global appeal. It’s also a moving portrait of how politics disrupts and reshapes the domestic sphere, and how solidarity, community and love are the only viable path toward living in tragedy. » (The New York Times)
