Rio de Janiero, 1971 - Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship but life in the Paiva family is filled with laughter and warmth. This changes dramatically when Rubens, the father and former congressman, is taken for questioning by the military in a violent and arbitrary act.

Eunice Paiva [Fernanda Torres], the mother of their five children, is forced to reinvent herself as she investigates her husband’s disappearance while maintaining family stability.

Based on the best-selling memoir by Rubens’ son Marcello, I’M STILL HERE tells the true story that helped reconstruct an important part of Brazil’s hidden history. The latest film from Oscar-winner Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) is intelligent, compelling and moving.

Listen to director Walter Salles 'Front Row' interview on BBC Sounds.

Torres’s performance here is a marvel of expressive restraint, every glance merging horrified disbelief and meticulous self-control. - The New Yorker

A sombre, heartfelt drama about the nation’s disappeared. - The Guardian

It’s a beautiful performance, made even more impactful by its basis in reality. I’m Still Here is a timely, exquisite masterpiece. - Globe and Mail

Through Fernanda Torres' formidable presence, the deliberate I'M STILL HERE, a film that locates further meaning in the face of Brazil’s present Far-Right wave, remains in the heart long after the picture fades. - RogerEbert.com

This is not just a movie about a strong woman, though it certainly is that. It’s also about what authoritarian regimes do to keep people in line, the totalitarian tactic of making people doubt what they know they’ve seen by insisting on unabashed lies. - New York Times
