BUS 174

I co-directed with José Padilha and edited this wrenching documentary about a kidnapping that ended up revealing a lot about the whole society.

‘”Bus 174 is so wrenching and absorbing that you can easily lose sight of the sophistication of its techniques. (…) the filmmakers, Felipe Lacerda and José Padilha, have made a deceptively straightforward film that has the force of tragedy and the depth of first-rate investigative journalism.”

Winner of the Golden Bear in Berlin, the Golden Globes, the BAFTA and other 33 awards, with 23 other nominations, nominated for Best Foreign Film and Best Actress Oscar.

A classic.

‘”What moved me was the process, the journey, the change in the woman, the subtlety of sequences like the one where she falls for a truck driver who doesn’t fall for her. It’s in such moments that the film has its magic.”
