Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 9 (ANI): The Oscar-nominated film 'The Secret Agent' is finally coming to Indian cinemas, after a strong run at major award shows and film festivals around the world.
The Wagner Moura starrer is set in Brazil in the year 1977, a time when the country was facing unrest and fear. The story follows a tech expert who leaves behind a dark past and returns to his hometown of Recife, hoping to live in peace. But the city soon pulls him into danger, spying, and hard choices.
'The Secret Agent' is directed by Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonca Filho and stars Moura in the lead role. The film has received wide praise from critics and moviebuffs for its story, acting, and direction. It has earned four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor.
The film also performed well at Cannes, where Mendonca Filho won Best Director and Moura won Best Actor. Later, at the Golden Globes, Moura won Best Actor in a Drama, and the film won Best Foreign Language Film.
Lead actor Wagner Moura, who plays Marcelo in the film, said his character is not a usual hero but a man trying to stay human in a harsh world. He said he is happy that people in India will connect with the film's feelings and message.
'Marcelo is not a conventional hero; he is a man trying to remain humane in a world that constantly tests him. The response to the film has been overwhelming, and I'm excited for Indian audiences to connect with its emotional and political resonance,' said Wagner as per a release.
The Secret Agent will hit theatres across India on February 27. (ANI)
