At the Movies: The Secret Agent (2025)
IMDb has information about the movie, which might interest immigrationprof readers: "In 1977, a technology expert flees from a mysterious past and returns to his hometown of Recife [Brazil] in search of peace. He soon realizes that the city is far from being the refuge he seeks." It is a refugee story of sorts.
As the review on RogerEbert.com states.
"Set in 1977 Brazil, roughly at the midpoint of a 21-year military dictatorship, `The Secret Agent' is a drama, a satire, an intriguingly laid-back espionage film, and a recreation of a time and place, with expressionistic and surreal flourishes that must be accepted on their own terms. Wagner Moura stars as Marcelo, a tall, bearded fellow with gentle energy and sad eyes. He arrives in Recife . . . in a bright yellow Volkswagen Beetle. . . . Murder is everywhere. Some deaths are punishments, levied against the regime’s opposition. Others are byproducts of street crime. There’s a lot of overlap. . . . This film is partly about how people accept a world where such things can happen, and learn to move within it."
