I’m Still Here 2024 𝚆𝚊𝚝𝚌𝚑 With Friends

One afternoon in 1971, Rubens Paiva, a former congressman and outspoken critic of Brazil’s newly instituted military dictatorship, was taken from his home in Rio de Janeiro by government officials, told nothing more than that he must give a “deposition” to authorities, and disappeared. Adapted from his son Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir, this overwhelming, richly realized political drama from Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) stays tightly wedded to the perspective of Rubens’ wife, Eunice (a shattering Fernanda Torres). A devastating true story, I’m Still Here is exhilarating in its portrayal of human tenacity in the face of injustice. Featuring a deeply affecting appearance by Fernanda Montenegro, Oscar nominated for Salles’s Central Station. A Sony Pictures Classics release.
