The Secret Agent gets Tarsila-inspired poster after Golden Globe wins

The Secret Agent, the Brazilian film starring Wagner Moura that won two awards at the Golden Globes last Sunday, has just gotten a new promotional poster. Producer Vitrine Filmes revealed the artwork this Wednesday, January 14, 2026, ahead of the Oscar nominations, which take place on the 22nd. The poster makes a direct reference to the iconic work Operários (Workers), by modernist painter Tarsila do Amaral, building a bridge between contemporary Brazilian cinema and classic Brazilian art.

The release of the material comes at a strategic moment, as the film remains in theaters across Brazil and seeks to consolidate its critical and audience success. The artistic choice is no coincidence: just like the 1933 painting, which portrays the diversity of São Paulo’s workers of the time with serious, weary faces, the new poster seeks to reflect the relevant social themes addressed by the film. In this way, the production reinforces its cultural identity and its appeal to the national audience, which has been celebrating the achievement on social media.

A tribute to Brazilian diversity

The connection with Tarsila do Amaral’s work goes beyond visual inspiration. The original Operários painting brings together 51 faces representing immigrants from various parts of the world and internal migrants, forming a plural portrait of Brazil. The film’s new poster kept that essence, even preserving the seriousness of the facial expressions, which in the original painting convey tiredness and apathy. The producer shared the image on its official Instagram page, where the caption highlighted the Golden Globe wins and reminded followers that the film is still in theaters to be seen and rewatched.

In the post’s comments, fans did not hold back their praise. Messages such as “How beautiful!”, “I want one” and “Where can I get one of these to put on my wall at home?” stood out among the interactions, showing the audience’s engagement with the initiative. The marketing strategy therefore manages to combine artistic value with popular appeal, further raising expectations for awards season. With the Oscars approaching, all this buzz puts The Secret Agent in a prominent place, not only as an award-winning film but as a cultural phenomenon in dialogue with the country’s history and identity.
