New Release Review - "I'm Still Here"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-03-06

In the last few years we've received a crop of films from Argentina (Rojo; A Common Crime; Azor) and Chile (1976; El Conde) addressing those South American nations' years under the rule of fascist military dictatorships in the second half of the 20th century. Now Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles reopens and hopes to salve his own country's wounds with I'm Still Here, adapted from a 2015 memoir by Marcelo Rubens Paiva. In 1971, Paiva's father Rubens, a former congressman turned civil engineer, was taken from his home, never to be seen again.

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites... 07/16/2026

Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.
