Oscar & Bafta nominated.
Walter Salles makes a triumphant return with an emotionally layered, visually rich account of family life under an oppressive regime in 1970s Brazil.
The Paiva family are shattered when Ernesto is abducted by the military junta and his wife Eunice (Fernanda Torres – currently Oscar nominated for her phenomenal performance) must lead their family and fight for justice.
Salles’ adaptation of Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s 2015 memoir is a profoundly moving portrait of resistance – the intelligent and humane kind of cinema we have come to expect from the director of Central Stationand The Motorcycle Diaries.
Nominated for 3 Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress and Best International Film and BAFTA’s Best Film not in the English Language.
