The Paiva family has a good life. Living in Rio, they spend their days playing volleyball on the beach, driving around the city, laughing and dancing. But it’s the early 1970s. Their country is under military rule and anyone who protests will be arrested. Rubens, a former Labor Party congressman and the Paiva patriarch, is one of those people. A critic of the government, he is active in the underground opposition movement. One afternoon in 1971 he is taken away and disappears. His wife, Eunice—played by Fernanda Torres, who won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama for the role—embarks on a decade-long search to find out what really happened. I’m Still Here, a gripping new thriller from Walter Salles, is adapted from a 2015 memoir by the couple’s son Marcelo Rubens Paiva. Salles, writes Xan Brooks in The Guardian, “cares for these people and makes us care for them, too.” —Jeanne Malle
