Episode 748: In The Seats With...Gabriel Domingues and 'The Secret Agent'

When you're building a village that it takes to populate a movie, quality relationships matter...On this episode we are still deep in the throws of awards consideration season and we get the pleasure of diving into the Golden Globe winning 'The Secret Agent'.From Writer/Director Kleber Mendonça Filho, 'The Secret Agent' takes us back to Brazil, 1977. Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. He arrives in Recife during carnival week, hoping to reunite with his son but soon realizes that the city is far from being the non-violent refuge he seeks.It's a fictional story but pulled from the very real political strife that rocked Brazil in the late 70's.  Wagner Moura leads a massive cast which is why it was so fascinating to get a chance to sit down with Casting Director Gabriel Domingues about his work on the film, the importance of having a pre existing relationship with Writer/Director Kleber Mendonça Filho, and assembling a cast with dozens of actors and even more supporting and background players.Go and see 'The Secret Agent' anyway you can, it's already won some awards with many more to come.
