VHS movie and film talk: The Secret Agent

With attention to detail, idiosyncratic characters and subtle humor, Kleber Mendonça Filho (AQUARIUS) paints a stylized picture of the last years of the military regime in Brazil and develops a phenomenal political thriller from it, followed by a discussion with Markus Vorauer in German language. 

THE BRUTALIST - 215 minutes of powerful cinema. Epic and sprawling, told with staying power and yet entertaining, a powerful panorama of time and an intimate life story. The fate of a Hungarian Jewish architect who manages to escape to the USA just before 1945, who then fights his way to the top along winding paths, but remains an outsider in the world of money. Adrien Brody's intense presence carries the film effortlessly over its three-and-a-half-hour length, making it the darling of the festival audience in Venice.
