  1. According to #KleberMendonça Filho, the director of “#TheSecretAgent,” “In a country that, for political reasons, has erased, or tried to forget, or tried not to remember important aspects of history, the mere fact of #remembering something might land you an accusation of being a communist or a radical.”

And this is something that I really wanted in #TheSecretAgent, and then you couple that with the costumes, with the cars, with the art design, the production design, and also a certain logic of time. A lot of what the film discusses comes from 50 years ago, but many of them in fact remain contemporary, unfortunately. And a lot of the political observations that I make in the film are contemporary in many countries."

    Interview with #KleberMendonça
    "Navigating the gritty realities of the era, and elevating them to a dreamlike state with visually ingenious touches is writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Neighboring Sounds, Pictures of Ghosts). With the continually surprising and shapeshifting #TheSecretAgent, he not only closely examines a dark era of his country, but also draws parallels to the political realities of today, felt and experienced in various countries around the world."
