Fernanda Torres poses in the press room with the award for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture - drama for"I'm Still Here" during the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. This image released by Sony Pictures Classics shows Fernanda Torres, left, in a scene from"I'm Still Here."
“I’m Still Here,” which opens in theaters Jan. 17, is a profoundly moving story of family life and political oppression. It’s a deeply Brazilian story, made by one of the country’s most acclaimed directors and starring the daughter of one of the country’s greatest stars, Fernanda Montenegro. She appears late in the film as the older Eunice.
“She’s a great guide, this character, for nowadays,” Torres says. “It’s not about should we be to the right or to the left. It’s about humanity. It’s about the endurance of the family.” Eunice in some ways reminded Torres of her own mother. Both mother and daughter had a history with Salles. One of Montenegro’s most famous roles was her Oscar-nominated performance in Salles’ “Central Station.” The 95-year-old Montenegro is the first and only Brazilian nominated for best actress; her daughter could be the second.
