Why watch this film?
It is very easy to watch a movie that talks about social issues and label it as necessary. Certain topics when discussed in the seventh art gain greater weight and we are inclined to see importance in it - and rightly so. 'Dustwun' is one of those productions that not only try to show the world as it is, but that actually become essential for cinema by exposing it in a delicate way. Indeed, we are talking about an indispensable feature film. Director Genevieve Anderson managed to build a strong, beautiful narrative that deals with issues such as immigration, borders, poverty, militarization, mental illness in a very human way. Far from wanting to give a stage for cruelty, Anderson brought a lot of kindness, making us believe that humanity still has salvation.

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.
