The Secret Agent is a brooding political thriller by director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Bacurau, Aquarius), who brings a turbulent period of Brazilian history vividly to life in his latest work. Through multiple interwoven storylines, he portrays a country ensnared in violence, corruption, and vendettas—a volatile 1970s meticulously reconstructed from personal memories, family histories, and archival material. Blending styles such as suspense, humor, and even a touch of horror, The Secret Agent is not only a gripping cinematic experience but also a historical document through which the acclaimed Mendonça Filho offers a sharp analysis of Brazil’s past and present.
Winner of Best Director and Best Actor at Cannes 2025, as well as the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama.
