ADVANCE SCREENINGS! Friday February 7, 6.30, 6̶.5̶0̶p̶m̶ (6.50 SOLD OUT).Enjoy an early opportunity to see director Walter Salles' prize-winning drama I'M STILL HERE ahead of it's March season!
Celebrated Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) directs a masterful historical drama. One afternoon in 1971, Rubens Paiva – a former congressman and outspoken critic of Brazil's newly instituted military dictatorship - was taken from his home in Rio de Janeiro by government officials. Told nothing more than that he must give a "deposition" to authorities, Paiva promptly disappeared.
Adapted from his son's memoir, this overwhelming, richly realised political drama from Salles stays tightly wedded to the perspective of Rubens's wife, Eunice (an outstanding Fernanda Torres), whose indefatigable search for the truth about her husband would continue for decades. A remarkable true story, I’M STILL HERE is exhilarating in its portrayal of human tenacity and determination in the face of injustice.
