I'm Still Here is Walter Salles' first feature-length drama since his adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On The Road in 2012 .
It tells the true story of the arrest and disappearance of the dissident former congressman Rubens Paiva in 1971 .
His wife Eunice and one of her daughters are taken away too, blindfolded, interrogated in darkened barracks echoing with the screams of the tortured.
Her courage is astonishing as she fights to keep normality in the family.
“I’m Still Here” is in cinemas now [See also: The White Lotus is as good and twisted as ever].
