At the previous night’s Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the film «I'm Still Here» scored a major victory. The star Fernanda Torres, 59, took home the coveted trophy for Best Dramatic Actress — one of the last and most prestigious of the evening. In her acceptance speech, the actress acknowledged her competitors in this category, including Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Tilda Swinton, and Kate Winslet.
«Oh my God, I didn’t prepare anything because I was already late», - she exclaimed, according to Independent. «And it’s such an amazing year for female performances. There are so many actresses here that I admire so much». She went on to praise her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, who also stars in the film. «She was here 25 years ago», - Torres said, recalling her mother’s nomination in the same category in 1999 for the film «Central Station». «And this is proof that art can survive through life, even in difficult moments, like this amazing story». She continued: «There is something happening in the world right now with such fear. And this film helps us think about how to survive in such difficult times».
The official trailer logo for the film gives an overview of the movie, which takes place in 1971 in Brazil against the backdrop of «intensifying oppression of military dictatorship». «Eunice Paiva, a mother of five, is forced to rethink herself after her family faces a violent and arbitrary act by the government», - explains the logo. «The film is based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s biographical book and tells a true story that helped restore an important part of Brazil’s hidden history».
According to Variety, director Alfonso Cuaron (Pan's Labyrinth, Gravity) named it one of the best films of 2024. «Watching Walter Salles' film means being embraced by generosity, it’s like experiencing gravitational attraction, simultaneously lifting and strengthening us with an invisible but undeniable force», - he said. «With the film 'I'm Still Here,' this effect is even more convincing».
