Official US Trailer for Brazilian Drama 'I'm Still Here' About a Family

"It's gotten too dangerous here..." Sony Pictures Classics has debuted the US trailer for acclaimed Brazilian film I'm Still Here, the first feature film from director Walter Salles in 12 years. He's best known for his earlier work - directing the films Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries, Dark Water, On the Road. The film tells a true story about a Brazilian family whose father is taken by the government & never seen again.

The lives of Eunice Paiva and her five children abruptly change after the disappearance of her husband – former Brazilian Labour Party congressman Rubens Paiva. The film stars Fernanda Torres as Eunice, Selton Mello, and Fernanda Montenegro. This first premiered at the Venice Film Festival, and after playing at tons of other festivals, it was selected by Brazil as their entry for Best International Film.

TRAMA, de Carlos Alberto Montaner (Plaza & Janés)

Trama

Cubierta: Fabo
Editor: Plaza & Janés Editores (Barcelona)
Edición: 1ª ed.
Fecha de edición: 1987-09
Descripción física: 268 p.; 15,5x21,5 cm.: solapas
Serie: Plaza & Janés literaria
ISBN: 978-84-01-38111-9 (84-01-38111-8)

Estructura: 6 capítulos con varios subcapítulos cada uno, epílogos
Información sobre impresión:
Impreso en HUROPE, S.A. - Recaredo, 2 - Barcelona
 
Información de contracubierta:
Sería perfectamente posible resumir en un párrafo la historia de Trama, pero no es conveniente. En la novela hay un elemento de suspense que se debe disfrutar hasta el final.
Sin embargo, queremos advertir que los dramáticos sucesos relatados transcurrieron real y secretamente a fines del siglo pasado en Alemania, Jamaica, Chicago, Nueva York, Madrid, La Habana y París. (Algunas consecuencias de aquellos hechos todavía perduran.)
Pero hay más: Trama es también una novela de amor. Sólo que de amor entre tres —dos hombres y una mujer— lo que complica morbosamente el relato.
Y es una novela policíaca, porque contiene todos los elementos básicos del género: el crimen, los criminales, las pistas y el infatigable detective.
Y es una novela de aventuras, en la que cada capítulo depara un suceso sorprendente, aumenta un grado la ansiedad del lector y lo precipita hacia el siguiente.
Y es una novela sicológica, porque los personajes principales comparecen con personalidades bien definidas y características diferentes.
Pero —además— es una gran novela a secas. Un libro escrito con una prosa ceñida, transparente, siempre al servicio de la carpintería interior de la obra, lo que explica que, una vez leída, no sea fácil olvidarse de la historia ni de sus protagonistas principales.
 
Información de solapas:
Carlos Alberto Montaner nació en La Habana en 1943. Desde 1970 reside en Madrid. Ha publicado once libros. Trama es su segunda novela. La primera, Perromundo (1972), cuenta con varias ediciones en diferentes países —dos de ellas en Plaza & Janés— fue llevada al cine en 1979. Tiene dos libros de relatos: Poker de brujas (1969) e Instantáneas al borde del abismo (1970). Entre sus libros de ensayo se destacan Informe secreto sobre la revolución cubana (1975), 200 años de gringos (1976), De la literatura considerada como una forma de urticaria (1980), Fidel Castro y la revolución cubana (1980) —también publicado por Plaza & Janés—, El ojo del ciclón (1981), Cuba: claves para una conciencia en crisis (1982) y Para un continente imaginario (1985). Montaner ha sido profesor de literatura en la Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico. Semanalmente, desde 1968, publica una columna periodística en más de medio centenar de diarios de España, América Latina y los Estados Unidos, país este último en el que se reproduce en castellano e inglés. Se le ha calificado como «uno de los más influyentes y leídos periodistas en el ámbito del idioma». Habitualmente hace comentarios para la televisión de varios países de América Latina y de los Estados Unidos.

NEW JAMES BOND TRAILER: Second Publicity Campaign Ramps Up for NO TIME TO DIE

This week MGM has ramped up the campaign for Daniel Craig's long awaited and highly anticipated fifth James Bond movie, No Time To Die. And as fans are painfully aware, this is actually the film's second campaign. No Time To Die had a whole advertising campaign back at the beginning of this year leading up to a hoped for April release, including many posters and even the much publicized, chart-topping release of the movie's excellent theme song by Billie Eilish. But, as we all know, the global pandemic came along and the April release was scrapped. Since then the film has been set for a November release, though even that has been uncertain given the unpredictable nature of the novel coronavirus. Now it certainly looks like EON, MGM, and distributors United Artists and Universal are doubling down on that November release! The date is proudly proclaimed across this brand new poster (frankly a little uninspired compared to the less typical previous campaign's 1-sheet) and in the brand new second trailer. And it's quite a trailer! As far as I can recall, this marks the first time a Craig Bond movie has had this kind of text tagline: The mission that changes everything begins!

Tradecraft: Paramount Remakes THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST with Trevor Noah

Theodore J. Flicker's 1967 James Coburn satire The President's Analyst is one of my very favorite spy movies. (It's also Coburn's best spy movie... Sorry, Derek Flint.) When describing it to people, I always say that the comedy holds up surprisingly well today... sadly. America is still facing many of the same social  issues Flicker sent up over fifty years ago (from institutional racism to monolithic Big Tech), and it's easy to imagine a remake. Now, Paramount is imagining one... with The Daily Show host Trevor Noah on board to produce and potentially star. According to The Hollywood Reporter, former Obama White House staffer Pat Cunnane will write the script. The premise, about a psychotherapist burdened with all of the President's top secret stresses, will obviously be familiar ground for him! According to his publisher, Cunnane served as "President Barack Obama’s senior writer and deputy director of messaging at the White House, where he worked for six years in many roles."


Per the trade, "Details for the new take are being kept under the couch but it is described as a re-examining the 1967 satire through the lens of the contemporary political landscape." You really wouldn't have to change too much. I do hope the new film retains the original's almost Pink Panther-esque slapstick tone though. It's not too often you see slapstick and satire married together, but Flicker's film did it perfectly. Severn Darden and Godfrey Cambridge co-starred in the original.
