The Secret Agent
Step into the heat, chaos and paranoia of 1970s Brazil.
Our next World Cinema screening takes us to Recife during Carnival, where Marcelo, a technology teacher from São Paulo, arrives hoping to escape a violent past and build a quiet new life.
But quiet is hard to find. With the city buzzing with Carnival celebrations and an atmosphere of uncertainty all around him, Marcelo soon realises that his new neighbours are taking a suspicious interest in his every move. As the line between friend and foe becomes increasingly blurred, his attempt at a fresh start begins to unravel.
The Secret Agent is a gripping Brazilian thriller that combines political tension, mystery and dark humour with a richly atmospheric portrait of 1970s Brazil.
