Independent Cinema for Everyone

Sonia Braga shines in this transfixing drama about one woman making a stand against greedy property developers in the seaside town of Recife in north-east Brazil. To Clara (Braga), a widowed music critic, Aquarius is her home, but to a slick property developer determined to transform the site into luxury flats it is an investment opportunity. The developers want her out, by fair means or foul, but she won't budge. Full of hidden meanings and echoes of the past, this is a film of beautiful subtlety, passion and sly political anger about a fierce woman who cannot be bought whatever the price.

Dir. Kleber Mendonca Filho, Brazil/France, 2016, 142 mins, subtitled.
