The Secret Agent

September 20, 2025

This event occurred as part of the 25/26 Hop Film season. This is an archived view.

Set in 1970s Brazil, this thrillingly unpredictable epic about a man on the run earned Kleber Mendonça Filho ('Bacurau') the Best Director award at Cannes.

THE SECRET AGENT - Official Teaser Trailer - In Select Theaters November 26

 

Wagner Moura delivers a Cannes award-winning performance as a widowed former university researcher whose life has been violently upended by the greed and vengeance of a government bureaucrat. On the run and living under an alias during the country's military dictatorship, he tries to escape, while also reconnecting with the young son he had to leave behind. 

Even this brief description cannot fully prepare the viewer for the zigzagging subplots and delights of Mendonça Filho's eccentric and affectionate ode to the movies and the Brazil of his youth—and to maintaining individuality amid abuses of power.
