Central Station (Portuguese: Central do Brasil) is a 1998 road drama film directed by Walter Salles from a screenplay by João Emanuel Carneiro and Marcos Bernstein, based on an original idea by Salles. It stars Fernanda Montenegro, Marília Pêra and Vinícius de Oliveira. The film tells the story of a young boy's friendship with a jaded middle-aged woman.
Central Station premiered in Switzerland on 16 January 1998, in Brazil on 3 April, and on France on 2 December. The film received critical acclaim, with Montenegro's performance earning her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama (becoming the first Brazilian actress to ever be nominated in the lead actress category on both awards), while the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language, and the Golden Bear of the Berlin International Film Festival.[4]
