Memory, Mystery, and Mourning: The Secret Agent at Cannes
from Stories in Motion · host D & J
We caught Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent at its noon premiere in Cannes, and it’s still unfolding in our heads. A slow-burn period thriller set in 1977 Recife, the film blends political memory, quiet suspense, and Wagner Moura’s haunting performance into a beautifully layered story about erasure, identity, and the power of fiction to preserve truth.
