Why watch this film?
A good adaptation of Herman Hesse's eponymous novel, a German Nobel Prize-winning writer. The only small problem is that the literary work is contained in the pages and it is really hard to bring this to the cinema. But the movie works very well, especially if you ignore the book. The soundtrack is well thought out and reminds us of human desires, after all the story itself deals with forbidden feelings. 'Narziss und Goldmund' is a beautiful production and very good at trying to bring the essence of Hesse's novel.

The Happy Film
What is the key to happiness? Austrian designer Stefan Sagmeister began his search for an answer in an art installation and, six years later, it resulted in this documentary. Sagmeister has a very peculiar outlook - that happiness is a visual matter - making this movie a wild journey of artistic experimentation. You won't be happy after watching the movie, but if you're into visual arts, you'll certainly enjoy the ride.
Drama

Third: her father - owner of a funeral home - is looking for a new partner. But Meeri has something that is only hers, something very special - she can fly.
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
