I’m Still Here. 2024. Brazil/Spain. Directed by Walter Salles. Screenplay by Murilo Hauser, Heitor Lorega, based on the book by Marcelo Rubens Paiva. DCP courtesy Sony Pictures Classics. In Portuguese; English subtitles. 135 min.

The picture-perfect life of the family of Rubens Paiva, an engineer and former politician, was shattered one day in 1971 when authorities took him from his beachside home in Rio de Janeiro. Director Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) revisits the terror of Brazil’s military dictatorship in this absorbing political drama (based on the memoir by Rubens’s son, Marcelo Rubens Paiva), which captures the trauma experienced by the family—and the nation—and the subsequent fight for justice by Rubens’ wife while raising five children on her own. Fernanda Torres delivers a smashing performance as the family matriarch, embodying the devastation and resilience of a survivor from this dark chapter of modern Brazilian history.

This film accompanies The Contenders 2024.
