“I’m Still Here” is a film based on the book by journalist Marcelo Rubens Paiva, a work written in 2015 that earned the author the Jabuti Award and a nomination for the Oceanos Award. It tells the story of his family, showing the murder of his father by the military dictatorship and his mother’s search for her husband, as well as her search for justice. The production has aroused the interest of fans, especially in Brazil.
The film is directed by Walter Salles, an award-winning Brazilian director named by the British newspaper The Guardian as one of the 40 best directors in the world. He is also considered by Forbes to be the second most successful filmmaker on the planet.
Does “I’m Still Here” have a release date?
The film does not yet have an official theatrical release date set. However, there is a possibility that the film will premiere only after the film festival season, and there is a possibility that it will be released only in 2025.
When you get to the cinema there is a possibility that the film will be shown simultaneously on Globoplay, this is because it is an original production of the Globo TV streaming. However, it can also be included in the catalogue after being shown in national cinemas.
Actors and plot that won over the audience
The film sees the character of Eunice Paiva played at different ages by Fernanda Torres and Fernanda Montenegro, very famous actresses in the country. Another great star of the Brazilian cinema scene is the actor Selton Mello, who plays Rubens Paiva, a Brazilian politician and civil engineer killed by the military dictatorship.
Eunice and Rubens married. Together they had four more daughters, as well as Marcelo, author of the book that inspired the opera. The family’s quest for justice shows their struggle to learn the truth about the politician’s death, which only came to light decades after the crime.
With an excellent reception from the public, the film has become Brazil’s big bet for the Oscars. It is already in the running for the Golden Lion, one of the most important awards in international cinema.
