Trailer
Why watch this film?
With Sylvester Stallone already in his third age, the actor paved the way to become a supporting character of a new franchise set in the same universe as 'Rocky': 'Creed'. In this feature we meet Adonis Johnson, the out-of-wedlock son of Apollo Creed, former adversary and later friend of Rocky. With love for boxing and never having known his father, Adonis seeks out the old champion to train him - until his true identity becomes public and he is forced to take on his father's surname and old stars and stripes shorts. Directed by Ryan Coogler (of 'Black Panther'), without Stallone's script for the first time in the series' history and starring Michael B. Jordan, 'Creed' thrills by bringing extremely current elements of boxing, putting paternal legacy as a dilemma and for bringing extremely well choreographed and excellently directed fight scenes. It is certainly one of the best of the franchise, on the level of the first 'Rocky'. It is worth noting that the production earned Stallone another Oscar nomination for Supporting Actor - a record in terms of period between one nomination and another for the same character (39 years).

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" is undeniably a transition movie. After all, it comes after the death of Chadwick Boseman, the actor behind the mask of the Wakandan superhero, and has to figure out how to steer the franchise in a new direction. Shuri (Letitia Wright), Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Okoye (Danai Gurira)? Who will take on the mantle? From these questions, director Ryan Coogler ("Creed") leads a story of grief, sadness and new perspectives, trying to reorient the story of Black Panther after this painful blow. Despite conflicts with Namor, the underwater prince, the action scenes are only part of the show, which is more focused on telling stories of characters that have never been so real within the Marvel Cinematic Universe - for better or for worse.
Black Panther
The Marvel Cinematic Universe explores the first black superhero from comics in a purposeful version, with a majority cast made up of African-descendants (in addition to the director, Ryan Coogler) and characters that value the origins of African culture in the United States (and why not, in Brazil). One of the great moves is that Wakanda, the isolated country of the hero, was not a victim of European colonization, being able to flourish without being the target of external interests. The movie debates two views of the world, proposing a third way: collaboration between peoples. Also note the well-constructed characters and, especially, the strong female cast. No wonder 'Black Panther' broke several box office records and became a landmark for the representation of minorities in cinema.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
