The British newspaper The Guardian bet on the victory of a Brazilian film at the Cannes Festival . By pointing out his choices for this edition, journalist Peter Bradshaw signaled that “The Secret Agent” will take the Gold maximum event prize.
In addition to his bets on existing categories, the British writer also mentioned the national film again in one of the categories that should exist, according to his perception. This time, he bet on Tânia Maria’s work, as best supporting actress in “The Secret Agent.”
In all, 22 titles compete for the maximum award of the competition, the Gold . The Golden Palm winner is chosen by the jury. 2025 is chaired by the French actress Juliette Binoche and formed by Halle Berry, Payal Kapadia, Alba Rohrwacher, Leo Slimani, Dieudo Hamadi, Hong Sangsoo, Carlos Reygadas and Jeremy Strong.
After an acclaimed debut in the Cannes Festival the national film “The Secret Agent” of the director Kleber Mendonça Filho won an official teaser this Thursday (22).
The political thriller starring Wagner Moura has already secured distribution in Latin America, the United States, India, the United Kingdom and Ireland, was cheered for 13 minutes in the film event, and received maximum approval from critics.
The international press has already begun to highlight the film after the debut in Cannes, some even relating it to “I’m still here.” The presence of Brazilian star Wagner Moura also gives strength and visibility to the title in the Hollywood scenario, as he has dedicated himself to his international career in recent years.
