Set in Brazil in 1977, the most awarded film at Cannes this year stars Wagner Moura (Narcos, Civil War) as Marcelo, a former teacher and political dissident on the run during the waning years of Brazil’s military dictatorship. Hoping to reunite with his son, he travels to Recife during Carnival but quickly realizes that the city is not the safe haven he expected. Critics are calling Kleber Mendonça Filho’s vivid neo-noir thriller “a masterpiece” (The Playlist) and “superb in every way” (The Guardian).
