Film Club at Auditoria: screening and discussion of “The Secret Agent”

This Sunday, we’ll watch the latest work by Cannes favorite and master of Brazilian cinema Kleber Mendonça Filho. His film “The Secret Agent” (2025) is a stylish political thriller set in 1970s Brazil.

The film has already become a critics’ favorite thanks to its unique blend of suspense, nostalgia, and deep social subtext. It tells the story of a man caught between personal principles and the machinery of the state, presented with striking visual craftsmanship.

After the screening, we’ll discuss how the director transforms historical context into a powerful contemporary statement — and why Filho is considered one of the most original visual storytellers in world cinema today.
