Poster for The Interview

1995 · ★ 2.3 (3)

Henry Czerny plays American journalist Michael Coleman, a strung-out expatriate writing for a Brazilian newspaper.

Mysteriously, the usually outspoken Father Louis has been silent for three months. With the Brazilian Congress about to vote on a major land-redistribution bill that could potentially tip the balance of power even further, Father Louis’s support of the peasants and his condemnation of the landowners is more important than ever.
