Latin Blood: The Ballad Of Ney Matogrosso | © Netflix

Last Thursday, Americans celebrated Juneteenth, but south of the Equator, Latin America's largest nation was in a cinephile mood. It was Brazilian Cinema Day, marking 127 years since Affonso Segreto shot what is considered the earliest cinematic depiction of Brazil in film history. A century and change after cameras first glimpsed the Guanabara Bay, the country's having a moment on the world stage. In the space of a few months, we saw such titles as I'm Still Here, The Blue Trail, and The Secret Agent win big at the Oscars, Berlinale, and Cannes. However, within Brazilian borders, other success stories have flourished, largely overlooked by international onlookers. Consider Vitória with Fernanda Montenegro delivering a staggering star turn at 95, and today's subject, the word-of-mouth box office phenomenon that is Homem com H.

Known as Latin Blood: The Ballad of Ney Matogrosso in English-language markets,...

Fernanda Torres was just celebrated for her Oscar-nominated performance in the movie I’m Still Here and now she’s supporting her mom Fernanda Montenegro‘s new movie!

Torres attended the premiere of her 95-year-old mother’s new movie Vitoria on Wednesday (March 12) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Based on a true story, the movie tells the story of an 80-year-old woman who single-handedly dismantled a drug trafficking scheme in Copacabana, all through images taken from the window of her apartment in Rio.

At the premiere, Torres posed for photos with a poster that featured her mom!

Make sure to look back at photos of Torres at the Oscars and see what she said after losing the award to Mikey Madison.
