The Secret Agent | Araluen Arthouse Cinema | Monday 30 March @ 7pm

Winner of three major awards at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and from acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho, comes the electrifying political thriller, THE SECRET AGENT, starring Wagner Moura in one of the year's most celebrated performances.

Set in 1977, against the backdrop of Brazil’s brutal military dictatorship, the film follows Marcelo, a man in his forties attempting to outrun a troubled past.

Seeking refuge in the coastal city of Recife, Marcelo hopes to rebuild his life and reconnect with his family, but his arrival is shadowed by unseen forces and the constant threat of violence, as death threats linger ominously at every turn.

Taut, atmospheric and politically charged, THE SECRET AGENT is a masterfully controlled study of fear, surveillance and survival under authoritarian rule.

Blending exhilarating suspense with sharp social insight, the film offers a chilling reminder of how personal lives are reshaped by political oppression, delivering a powerful and immersive cinematic experience that lingers long after the final frame.
