Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
1969. Marighella had no time for fear. On the one hand, a violent military dictatorship. On the other, an intimidated left. Alongside, revolutionaries 30 years younger than him and willing to fight, the revolutionary leader opted for action.
""Marighella" follows the last days of the life of Carlos Marighella (brilliantly portrayed by Seu Jorge), a Brazilian Marxist-Leninist communist politician, writer and guerrilla fighter who fought against two dictatorships: that of Getúlio Vargas and the civil-military one initiated in 1964. Wagner Moura makes his debut here as a feature film director and faces a difficult task of bringing to the screen an extremely important figure in Brazil's history. And he did a good job. It's not a movie that will please everyone, as it really leaves you restless, outraged and completely frustrated with the direction the country has taken. So many lives were sacrificed during the military dictatorship, and still are today, but it seems nothing has changed."
