¿Quién es el protagonista de "El agente secreto"? Quizá no sea, como parecería obvio, el perseguido político interpretado por Wagner Moura. La multipremiada película de Kleber Mendonça Filho es difícil de clasificar: es un thriller político, pero combina otros géneros. Tiene guiños, homenajes y capas. Y aunque se refiere a los años de la dictadura en Brasil, es una película cálida y nostálgica, en la que la presencia más poderosa es la de su director.

Min 5: EL AGENTE SECRETO (4 estrellas) El agente secreto es uno de los títulos más relevantes del cine internacional reciente: con dos Globos de Oro ganados y cuatro nominaciones a los Oscar, la película del aclamado Kleber Mendonça Filho se adentra en las sombras de la dictadura militar brasileña de 1977, siguiendo a Marcelo (sublime Wagner Moura), un profesor que vuelve a Recife buscando refugio solo para descubrir que el pasado no se queda atrás. La cinta, construida no como un thriller convencional, sino como un drama político sostenido por la amenaza invisible del régimen, muestra cómo la vigilancia, la sospecha y la represión se infiltran en lo cotidiano con silencios y miradas que pesan más que los estallidos visibles. Aquí la tensión proviene menos de explosiones que de la incertidumbre constante y de un ambiente donde la libertad está siempre a punto de romperse. Min 19: GREENLAND 2 (2 estrellas) Como secuela del éxito catastrofista Greenland (2020), Greenland 2 -también conocida internacionalmente como Greenland: Migration- continúa la odisea de la familia Garrity tras sobrevivir al impacto de un cometa y cinco años de confinamiento en un búnker. Ahora, obligados a abandonar su refugio, la lucha por la supervivencia les empuja a un viaje peligroso por una Europa devastada en busca de un lugar habitable. MIn 25: LA MALDICIÓN DE SHELBY OAKS (3'5 estrellas) En la línea del terror contemporáneo, La maldición de Shelby Oaks utiliza el formato de found footage (metraje encontrado) para construir un relato inquietante de obsesión y miedo. Lo que comienza como la investigación de una pista sobre una hermana desaparecida se transforma en un descenso a lo que podría ser una amenaza demoníaca real, arraigada en traumas infantiles. Min 31: SIN CONEXIÓN (2,5 estrellas) Bradley Cooper regresa a la dirección con Sin conexión, un drama con toques de comedia que se aleja del chiste fácil para explorar la crisis emocional de una pareja de mediana edad. Protagonizada por Will Arnett y Laura Dern, la película se asienta en la representación honesta de la fragilidad humana cuando la vida familiar y los planes se desmoronan. Min 38: EL FANTASMA DE MI MUJER (2 estrellas) María Ripoll firma con El fantasma de mi mujer una comedia negra de enredos que combina humor ácido con una premisa imposible: un hombre descubre que su amante ha atropellado (accidentalmente) a su esposa y lo llama para pedir ayuda. Lo que sigue es un caos de mentiras, paranoia y situaciones cada vez más absurdas, subrayado por la ambigüedad entre realidad y delirio. Javier Rey, Loreto Mauleón y Macarena Gómez encarnan personajes que oscilan entre la culpa, el absurdo y la comedia pura, ofreciendo una película que, aunque ligera en pretensiones, es eficaz en ritmo y tono. Es cine para reír con nervio, con una reflexión implícita sobre la culpa y las consecuencias de ocultar la verdad. Mi 45: LA BODA (2 estrellas) La boda marca la ópera prima del cineasta toledano Pedro Cenjor, una propuesta íntima y delicada que gira en torno a dos personajes que aceptan un matrimonio de conveniencia para aliviar una situación económica y emocional. Aunque el acuerdo parece perfecto en papel, pronto la convivencia y las circunstancias imprevistas obligan a replantearse el significado del amor y de los compromisos humanos. Min 53: ESPECIAL BSO TRIBUTO A ROBERT DUVALL En este episodio especial rendimos homenaje a la figura irrepetible de Robert Duvall, uno de los actores más sólidos y discretamente inmensos de la historia del cine. Recorremos su trayectoria a través de algunas de las piezas musicales más evocadoras asociadas a sus películas clave, deteniéndonos no solo en la interpretación, sino en la atmósfera sonora que acompañó sus personajes y ayudó a definirlos.Desde la sobriedad moral de Tom Hagen en The Godfather, con la inolvidable partitura de Nino Rota como telón de fondo, hasta la inquietante presencia de Boo Radley en To Kill a Mockingbird, donde la música de Elmer Bernstein subrayaba la inocencia y la sombra del sur profundo. Recordamos también su transformación en coronel Kilgore en Apocalypse Now, rescatando uno de los temas setenteros más emblemáticos, el The End de Los Doors.

V poznih 70. letih, v obdobju brazilske vojaške diktature, nekdanji profesor Armando Solimões pod krinko potuje v nekakšno komuno, zavetišče za politične begunce, kjer nadaljuje svoje življenje kot Marcelo. Medtem ko raziskuje tudi preteklost svoje družine in se druži z drugimi disidenti, njegovi nekdanji nasprotniki nadenj pošljejo atentatorje ... V današnjem času študentke zgodovine raziskujejo dokumente o brazilski preteklosti in skušajo z avdioposnetki rekonstruirati mrežo političnega odpora; pri tem pa v živo srečajo tudi zdravnika, nenavadno podobnega Armandu. Povzetek zgodbe brazilskega celovečerca Tajni agent (O Agente Secreto, 2025) pove pravzaprav zelo malo o tem vznemirljivem filmskem organizmu, ki ga podpisuje scenarist in režiser Kleber Mendonça Filho. Film postavi enačaj med osebnim in političnim; medtem ko gledalec skoraj kot forenzik po koščkih sestavlja usodo profesorja Armanda, se pred nami izrisuje tudi freska brazilske družbe in časa, oziroma značaja nekega represivnega obdobja. A hkrati je film na nek način zelo igriv, tudi duhovit; Mendonça Filho se spretno poigrava z nekaterimi žanrskimi zakonitostmi, etnološkimi posebnostmi in suvereno plava v »grindhouse« barvni paleti, ki še dodatno priklicuje sedemdeseta leta. Uspe mu biti celo smešen na preganjavičen na način Kafke, z vdori absurda, ki pa hkrati sledi sanjski logiki pripovedi. Ali bolje rečeno, pošlje nas na potovanje po meandrih spomina, ki preskakujejo med časovnimi obdobji, dogodki in identitetami. Film bi s svojo konstrukcijo zlahka zdrsnil v neprebavljiv solipsizem, vendar brez skrbi: ves čas smo v varnih rokah zrelega avtorja, ki ga je užitek opazovati pri delu. Na lanskem festivalu v Cannesu sta bila nagrajena Mendonça Filho kot režiser in Wagner Moura kot glavni igralec; njegov portret zadržanega intelektualca pooseblja tudi samega gledalca kot »divjega detektiva«, če lahko uporabim sintagmo Roberta Bolaña. Ta se mora znajti v kaotičnih situacijah, kjer nihče ni nujno to, za kar se sprva predstavlja, in kjer posamezna podoba ni nujno tudi resnična. Morda je neko širšo zgodovinsko resnico zares mogoče izkusiti samo z bogatim mozaikom fiktivnih anekdot. Tajni agent je slikovita, karnevalska filmska izkušnja mojstrskega cineasta, ki v domiselnem valovanju pripovedi utopi bolečino zgodovinske izkušnje. Film zares velikega platna in velikega avtorskega zamaha. In – nenazadnje – tudi slovo Uda Kierja, ki tu nastopi v svoji zadnji filmski vlogi. Bere: Igor Velše Piše: Gorazd Trušnovec

Nesta segunda parte do podcast “A Beleza das Pequenas Coisas”, a escritora Lídia Jorge revela qual o seu caminho seguinte, o que lhe falta dizer por escrito e lê um excerto de um texto do escritor e amigo João de Melo para refletir sobre os enganos da fugacidade da fama. Apesar de se revelar grata pelos tantos prémios, afirma que os títulos só lhe tocam a sombra, porque o seu lugar e ofício é outro. A escritora chega mesmo a revelar ter sido convidada para se candidatar à Presidência da República, mas que não hesitou em recusar. E recorda o que mais a espantou nos ecos ao seu discurso do 10 de Junho. Lídia lembra ainda a sua infância em Boliqueime, no Algarve, quando era uma contadora de histórias a transformar os finais fatalistas dos livros em caminhos felizes. E conta o momento em que decidiu batizar todos os animais da quinta ou a altura em que se convenceu que Fernando Pessoa escrevera um poema dedicado a si, por incluir o seu nome. Perto do final, partilha algumas das músicas que a acompanham, lê um excerto do seu livro “Misericórdia” e deixa a sugestão de um filme. Para depois referir em que ponto está o seu futuro romance.

A edição 2026 do Oscar registra um recorde para o cinema brasileiro: cinco indicações na premiação. “O Agente Secreto”, filme escrito e dirigido por Kleber Mendonça Filho, concorre a quatro estatuetas. E o diretor de fotografia Adolpho Veloso foi indicado por “Sonhos de Trem” – trabalho filmado quase inteiramente com luz natural, que vem sendo muito elogiado pela crítica internacional. “O Agente Secreto” é o filme brasileiro com o maior número de indicações em todos os tempos, empatado com “Cidade de Deus”, em 2004. O longa concorre nas categorias Melhor Elenco (criada pela Academia nesta edição), Melhor Filme Internacional (a mesma que “Ainda Estou Aqui” venceu em 2025), Melhor Ator (com Wagner Moura, que é o primeiro ator brasileiro a entrar na lista final) e na principal, a de Melhor Filme.

Convidadas: Carol Prado, repórter do g1; e Isabela Boscov, jornalista e crítica de cinema. Em 2026, a cultura latino-americana deve ampliar ainda mais seu espaço no entretenimento global. A previsão é da revista britânica "The Economist", que aponta a América Latina como um dos principais motores da indústria cultural neste ano. Isso, depois de, em 2025, a música e o cinema latinos terem tido destaque no showbiz mundial. Artistas como Bad Bunny e Karol G lideram rankings globais, e empresas do setor cultural anunciam investimentos bilionários na região. Tudo impulsionado por um público numeroso, jovem e altamente conectado, que tem transformado produções locais em fenômenos internacionais. Enquanto isso, o cinema brasileiro vive um momento de maior visibilidade fora do país. ‘O Agente Secreto' e outros quatro brasileiros estão na pré-lista do Oscar 2026. O filme de Kleber Mendonça Filho soma também recordes no Globo de Ouro: foram 3 indicações, nas categorias Melhor Filme de Drama, Melhor Filme em Língua Não-Inglesa e Melhor Ator em Filme de Drama, com Wagner Moura. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery recebe a repórter do g1 Carol Prado para explicar como a música latina deixou de ser nichada e passou a protagonista mundial. Carol detalha os números deste mercado e como o movimento tem uma dimensão política. Depois, Natuza conversa com a crítica de cinema Isabela Boscov. É ela quem analisa o momento do cinema brasileiro e latino-americano e fala da importância de políticas de incentivo permanentes.
