About The Patient
The true story of Tancredo Neves, the first civilian president of Brazil after a 20-year military dictatorship, and the infamous hospitalization which led to his death before he ever managed to take office.
Directed by Sérgio Rezende, The Patient leans on a strong ensemble — Othon Bastos, Esther Góes, Leonardo Medeiros — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
