The Brazilian movie
The Brazilian filmmaker dedicated the award to a woman who, “after the loss she suffered during a terrible regime, decided not to bend and resist”, in relation to the Brazilian Eunice Pavia, the protagonist in which this story is inspired.
The award, Salles added, also goes “for the two extraordinary women who gave her life: Fernanda Torres and Fernanda Montenegro”, mother and daughter in real life.
The film competed against the favorite in this cateogría, the French ‘Emilia Pérez’, as well as the letona ‘Flow’, the German ‘The Seed of Sacred Feed’ and the Danish ‘The Girl With the Needle’.
‘I’M Still Here’ tells the story of a mother, played by the acclaimed Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres, who is forced to reinvent himself when his family’s life is destroyed by an act of arbitrary violence during the increasingly strict control of a military dictatorship in Brazil, in 1971.
For this interpretation, Torres had already achieved the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a drama movie and also competed alongside the French ‘Emilia Pérez’ for the award for best non -English speech title.
The film also won the Goya for Best Ibero -American Film, and received the nomination for the best non -English speech project at the British British Awards.
