Movie Time: The Secret Agent
Details
Join us for a leisurely 🎄Christmas afternoon with a movie at Burns Court Cinema.
About the movie: Brazil, 1977. Amid the grip of a brutal military dictatorship, Marcelo (Wagner Moura), a brilliant technology expert and former researcher, is running for his life. Hunted by mercenary killers and a corrupt regime, he flees to his hometown of Recife during the chaos of Carnival, hoping to reunite with his son and plan a daring escape. But the city he once knew is no sanctuary—it's a labyrinth of spies, danger, and betrayal. Under the watchful eyes of Brazil’s repressive forces, Marcelo must outwit his pursuers before the celebration turns into a deadly trap.
Winner of Best Director and Best Actor in Cannes and a nearly perfect score on the Tomatometer!
