When the Brazilian director Kleber Mendonca Filho was writing his latest movie, in 2021, he felt shame about the situation in his homeland as it took a sharp turn to the right under then president Jair Bolsonaro. Well-informed friends would pat you on the back and say: I feel for you, the film-maker recalls. Four years later, as the film hits big screens, Bolsonaro is out of the picture and Mendonca's mood has changed.
