2hr 41min
Brazil, 1977. Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. Hoping to reunite with his son, he travels to Recife during Carnival but soon realizes that the city is not the safe haven he was expecting. Winner of Best Director and Best Actor in Cannes.
The Secret Agent is a film that you must trust and work with, but it is worthy of your time and effort. Even if you remain skeptical throughout the entire story, the denouement is surprisingly moving, powerful and solid.

The performances are note-perfect, the script’s giant, serpentine puzzle as surprising and relevant as that of One Battle After Another.
