Film: I'm Still Here

I?M STILL HERE (2024) + local short film Multi-awarded, including Oscar for best international feature film, one of the best films in recent years! ?When a former congressman is abducted from his beachfront home in 1970s Rio, his wife and children are left reeling ? for decades ? in Walter Salles?s Oscar-awarded drama starring an extraordinary Fernanda Torres. (?) Meticulous in its period detail,?I?m Still Here?unfolds in a vividly evoked early 1970s Rio, with two later chapters set in 1996 and 2014. Far-reaching in its themes, the picture represents Salles at his absolute best. It looks sublime: the director chose to shoot on various film stocks, with grainy, skittish Super-16 capturing the energy and excitement of being a teenager running riot on the streets of Rio, and 35mm bringing a pleasing, lived-in texture to the domestic scenes. A terrific soundtrack balances the irreverent energy of Brazilian Tropic?lia artists such as Tom Z? and Caetano Veloso against a pensive, brooding score by?Warren Ellis?. Wendy Ide, The Guardian Event includes also the screening of a short film directed by a local filmmaker (North West), to be announced."
