Why watch this film?
A movie about sound, but also about our complacencies and the current Brazilian middle class. In the end, we haven't changed much since the days of coronelismo. It is directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, the same director of 'Aquarius' and 'Bacurau'.

Plot summary
On a quiet city block in the coastal city of Recife, ruled by an aging patriarch and his sons, a recent spate of petty crime has rattled the nerves of the well-to-do residents. When a mysterious security firm is brought in to watch over the neighborhood, it sparks the fears, anxieties and centuries-old grievances of a divided society still haunted by its past.

From the same director
Aquarius
A raw and direct portrait of the current Brazilian society, ranging from sexuality to real estate speculation. Emphasis on Sonia Braga's performance. A movie that deserves to be seen.
Critico
Making and critiquing a movie is not easy. It is a long process, involving the effort of many people, that can end with a negative review. The documentary brings together these stories and is a relevant work for those who love cinema.
Pictures of Ghosts
Acclaimed director of films like Bacurau and Aquarius, filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho makes his most personal and intimate movie in Pictures of Ghosts. Here, he makes use of tapes that he recorded throughout his life, mainly at the beginning of his adult life in the 1990s, to show how the world has changed - more specifically, Recife, almost always seen from the window of his house. From there, showing how cinema (and audiovisual in general) can turn anyone, any space or any animal into ghosts, Kleber gives a dissertation on how cinemas, as a place to be, have transformed and are, in fact, temples that house ghosts - either on the screen or even behind them. A powerful film, which balances between pessimism and optimism, and which dialogues with the reality of each person who is watching the film through Kleber's creative vision.
Thriller
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
Sleeping Dogs
Roy Freeman, an ex-homicide detective with a fractured memory, is forced to revisit a case he can’t remember. As a man’s life hangs in the balance on death row, Freeman must piece together the brutal evidence from a decade-old murder investigation, uncovering a sinister web of buried secrets and betrayals linking to his past. With only instincts to trust, he faces a chilling truth - sometimes, it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie.
