Description

A heartfelt, true-life drama feature from Brazilian director Walter Salles about a family navigating the repression of Brazil?s military dictatorship of the 1970s. It was a time when anyone considered a threat risked immediate arrest, and the country ran on fear. Salles knew the Paivas family and that closeness comes through in the way he makes us care for them too. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, Fernanda Torres gives a riveting performance as the wife and mother of five who has to come to terms with the unthinkable as she campaigns for her husband?s safe return. At its screening at the Venice Film Festival it was greeted by a 10-minute standing ovation, along with the award for Best Screenplay. Unmissable. (S)
