I'M STILL HERE (15) 137 mins Director: Walter Salles Starring: Fernanda Torres, Fernanda Montenegra, Selton Mello Synopsis: In 1971, in Rio de Janeiro, former congressman Rubens Paiva lives with his wife Eunice and their five children at Avenida Delfim Moreira, in front of the Leblon Beach. One afternoon, several men arrive at their home and ask him to go with them to a "deposition" to the authorities while three of them stay with his family. Then they take Eunice and her teenage daughter Eliana with hoods to give a statement at an unknown place. Eunice remains arrested for several days while listening to the torture of other people. She returns home, moves with her family to São Paulo and never sees her husband again. (Portugese with English sub-titles) Awards: One Oscar win and two nominations Reviews: "I’m Still Here shows us a life of snapshots. In this pensive, poignant, richly realised new film from Brazil’s Walter Salles, photographs are constantly being taken and viewed" **** DAILY TELEGRAPH "Played wonderfully by Fernanda Torres, Eunice is onscreen almost throughout. She’s at the centre of a family drama and political thriller that really blossoms as a survival story." **** TIME OUT "You feel this film in the pit of your stomach." ***** TIMES |
