The Secret Agent (dir. Kleber Mendonça Filho)

Last updated: May 5, 2026

Titles in bold will have at least one North American distributor, which I’ll include with a source linked to the distributor’s name. Rep titles will be listed in italics with the original year of the film’s premiere. As always, I’m only one person doing this, so any info on new acquisitions is always helpful in case I missed something.
