Writer/director Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent is a political thriller set in 1970s Brazil. It follows political dissident Armando Solimões as he hides from the military dictatorship and seeks a way out of the country with his young son.
We’ve arrived at my favorite season on the blog — my six-week dive into last year’s movies. While I’m a huge music fan, enough to write this blog for 17+ years, my true love is cinema.
Over the next month and a half I’ll tackle 2025’s movie slate from a few different angles. First, I’ll highlight some of my favorite musical moments onscreen, then I’ll name my personal nominees in the top awards categories, and finally I’ll dig into some of my favorite 2025 films and offer up my top ten list.
