Why watch this film?
Since the 1980s, with 'Ghostbusters', cinema has found a great vein of horror films with a good pinch of comedy--sometimes, as is the case of the cited one, they become comedies with a pinch of horror. This is also the case of 'Zombieland', 'Happy Death Day' and 'What We Do in the Shadows'. Now, Netflix visits this subgenre with 'Vampires vs. the Bronx'. Here, filmmaker Osmany Rodriguez ('The Last Man on Earth') talks about the gentrification process of the Bronx, in New York--that is, the phenomenon that values a region or neighborhood and directly affects the local low-income population. However, instead of doing this through drama, he makes this mix of comedy and horror by using the mythical figure of the vampire as a starting point for reflection. Strange and provocative, it is a feature film that should bring some good discussions along with lots of fun.

A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.

Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
