Cinema Mentiré and Curzon Film invite you to the premiere screening of the 4K restoration of Central Station (Central do Brasil, 1998), the modern Brazilian classic by award-winning director Walter Salles. Set against arid and hypnotic landscapes, this poignant road movie travels through the heart of Brazil to explore the fragile ties of family, community, and solidarity.
Anchored by the unforgettable performances of Fernanda Montenegro and Vinícius de Oliveira, the film follows the emotive journey of Dora, a former schoolteacher who writes letters for illiterate people at Rio de Janeiro’s central station, and Josué, a young boy whose mother has just died. Together, they set out in search of the father he never knew — a journey of resilience, connection, and unexpected tenderness.
Central Station was awarded three prizes at the Berlin International Film Festival – the Golden Bear for Best Film, the Silver Bear for Best Actress to Montenegro, and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury – and went on to earn two Academy Award nominations in 1999: Best Actress in a Leading Role (Montenegro) and Best Foreign Language Film.
Special screening with discounted tickets: £13.25

Dora, a retired teacher, makes a living writing letters to illiterate passengers in Rio de Janeiro’s crowded central train station. Cynical and distant, her life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Josué, an energetic nine-year-old boy whose mother tragically dies just after dictating a letter for him. Unwillingly, Dora is drawn to the child’s difficult situation and embarks with him on a cross-country journey to find his estranged father.
