I'm Still Here
First screened in October 2024
Director: Walter Salles. Cast: Fernanda Torres, Selton Mello, Valentina Herszage, Luiza Kosovski, Bárbara Luz, Guilherme Silvera, Cora Ramalho, Dan Stulbach, Maeve Jinkings, Caio Horowicz, Humberto Carrão. Screenplay: Murilo Hauser and Heitor Lorega (based on the book by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, though surely very loosely, given the movie's timeline). In Brief:
There's a welcome detail to the film's domesticity, even after disaster strikes. Still, stolid in style. Rushed end.
VOR:③
A limit to how much originality I can grant here, but in Brazil's current, precarious politics (and the US's, and everyone's), this story matters.
