The Secret Agent is an extraordinary political thriller and neo‑noir drama from acclaimed Brazilian writer‑director Kleber Mendonça Filho, set in 1977 during the final years of Brazil’s military dictatorship.
The story follows Armando — a former professor on the run from political persecution — as he returns to Recife in hopes of reuniting with his son. But freedom proves elusive as corrupt forces and hidden dangers shape his journey in ways he never expected.
At the centre of the film is a commanding performance from Wagner Moura, who has won major international recognition — including Best Actor awards at festivals like Cannes — for his portrayal of Armando, and has earned multiple nominations and accolades throughout awards season.
The film has been celebrated globally, with critics praising its visual ambition, rich historical texture and daring narrative. It has garnered widespread acclaim, high approval ratings from reviewers and several top awards and nominations — including multiple Academy Award nominations — marking it as one of the most talked‑about international films of the year.
A cinematic experience that blends political tension, emotional depth and masterful filmmaking, The Secret Agent is a must‑see on the big screen.
