2025 Oscar-nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress (Fernanda Torres), and Best International Feature

“A gripping, profoundly touching film.”—David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

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, and disappeared. Adapted from his son Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir, this overwhelming, richly realized political drama from Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) stays tightly wedded to the perspective of Rubens’s wife, Eunice (a mesmerizing performance by Fernanda Torres), whose indefatigable search for the truth about her husband would stretch out for decades.

A devastating true story, I’m Still Here is exhilarating in its portrayal of human tenacity in the face of injustice. Featuring a deeply affecting appearance from Fernanda Montenegro, Oscar nominee for Salles’ Central Station, I’m Still Here is Brazil’s submission for consideration for the 2025 Best International Film Oscar.  2024, Brazil/France, DCP, in Portuguese with English subtitles, 136 minutes. Rated PG-13.
