Live Poll: Face-Off: 'The Secret Agent' vs. 'I'm Still Here'
The Secret Agent (2025) and I'm Still Here (2024) are critically acclaimed Brazilian films nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Motion Picture of the Year and Best International Feature Film. Both films explore themes of trauma, memory, and political repression.
Which one of these Brazilian period dramas is better?

Good films and a good match-up. Maybe mention that they both were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar (and perhaps how that's still relatively rare for international films)? When I think of them, I'm struck that they're the only Brazilian films to ever be nominated for Best Picture and that it happened two years in a row. ('Kiss of the Spiderwoman' was nominated but I guess that was a joint venture with the States?) Anyway, I think both movies made history for Brazil.
