Cult Movie Mondays: The Secret Agent (O Agente Secreto)🗓 Monday, March 16 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent is a tense political thriller set in Brazil during the final years of the military dictatorship. Starring Wagner Moura, the film follows a man drawn into a web of surveillance, paranoia, and quiet resistance as the state tightens its grip on everyday life.
Rooted in historical memory and political unease, the film blends thriller mechanics with Mendonça Filho’s signature attention to place, sound, and unseen power structures. Archival textures, controlled pacing, and moral ambiguity combine to create a portrait of fear, complicity, and endurance under authoritarian rule.
Premiering in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, The Secret Agent stands as a sharp continuation of the director’s interrogation of power, history, and collective trauma, confirming his position as one of contemporary cinema’s most incisive political voices.
“A chilling, meticulously crafted political thriller.”
— Variety
“A powerful reminder of cinema’s ability to confront historical trauma.”
— Screen International
