My husband is in danger!
A mother is forced to reinvent herself when her family’s life is destroyed by an act of arbitrary violence during the increasing rule of a military dictatorship in Brazil in 1971. Selected by the Brazilian Film Academy to compete for Best International Film at the 2025 Oscars. Eunice Paiva: Martha, you have to help me.
Martha: Everyone is in danger, Eunice
Featured in Mais Você: December 3, 2024 episode (2024). A Festa do Santo Reis, written by Léo Maia (as Marcio Leonardo), played by Tim Maia. Based on the novel I’m Still Here by Marcelo Rubens Paiva.
Built around a powerful performance by Fernanda Torres as matriarch Eunice, the film recounts the horrors of Brazil’s dictatorship without ever coming across as preachy or heavy-handed
actually improves on the book by focusing on the Paiva family and how each member was terrified and heartbroken by the disappearance of their father (played with deep affection by Selton Mello). By focusing on the human aspects and the sense of loss felt by people who never received answers about the disappearance of their loved ones, the script becomes more powerful as it goes along. All of the young actors’ performances are top-notch – a rare feat in Brazilian cinema – but it’s Fernanda Torres’ incredibly understated performance that really sticks with you.
“I’m Still Here” is a film to treasure and hold on to
She’s compelling and moving without ever coming across as melodramatic, in a masterful work. This is the best Brazilian film in years, a gift from director Walter Salles (“Central Station”). Watch for the brief but powerful cameo by Fernanda Montenegro (an Oscar nominee for “Central Station”) at the very end.
