Martha: Everyone is in danger, Eunice.. Appeared in Mais Você: Episode of December 3, 2024 (2024). The Feast of the Holy King written by Léo Maia (as Marcio Leonardo) The Brazilian film with the greatest international resonance in recent years, winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival and nominated for an Oscar, I’m Still Here dramatizes the trajectory of the Paiva family between the arrest of Rubens Paiva, the father , and Eunice’s struggle after her husband’s disappearance. Walter Salles immerses the viewer in the intimacy of this family and makes him an accomplice, making him worry about the fate of each one, creating three-dimensional, real, credible characters. Fernanda Torres plays the role of her life, almost a Greek heroine marked by tragedy, with subtlety, without ever falling into excess or caricature. Detailed scenography, lean script, natural performances, hand-picked soundtrack, precise editing, everything contributes to the director being able to convey exactly what he set out to do. Since I knew the story, I had read the book on which the film is based, as well as reports about it, my attention was focused on the cinematic solutions used by the director. He manages to transform this particular story into something universal, capable of communicating with audiences from all over the world.
