Brazilians are flocking to the cinema to see the homegrown film 'Anida Estuò Aqui (I'm Still Here)'. Released on November 7th, this film has sold over two million admissions to date, beating out 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator II' at the Brazilian box office.
'I'm Still Here' is based on a true story of Eunice Paiva. It was directed by Walter Salles and has won numerous festival awards, and high critical scores. It has been nominated for a Best Screenplay Oscar and it would not be a surprise me if Fernanda Torres, who portrays Eunice Paiva in the film, is nominated for Best Actor award.
If you see it on a marquee or showings at a local cinema, go and see it.
