‘The Secret Agent’s’ Wagner Moura and Kleber Mendonça Filho Baz Bamigboye/Deadline Wagner Maura said that every frame of Kleber Mendonça Filho’s acclaimed film The Secret Agent “feels very personal to me” adding that “it’s hardcore to be vocal against [disgraced former Brazilian president Jair] Bolsonaro, it was not easy.” The newly minted Golden Globe best actor winner noted to Deadline: “I’ve been preparing to make this film since Kleber and I started talking about it, even before I read the script. I have lived it, that’s why it feels very close to me.” The movie, part of Neon’s international awards season coalition that includes Sentimental Value, It Was Just An Accident, No Other Choice and Sirāt, also won the Golden Globe trophy for best non-English language picture at last Sunday’s ceremony at the Beverly Hilton.
