Trailer
Why watch this film?
Freely inspired by the decades-old legend of a surviving royal heiress to the overthrown Russian Empire, 'Anastasia' is a sophisticated production with rich story-telling. Highlights include the famous soundtrack by David Newman and a great construction of the villain Rasputin - hinting at him being the one to start the Russian Revolution with magic. Too bad that, in real life, more recent discoveries suggest that the real Grand Duchess never survived. Nothing that takes the magic away from this movie.

The Land Before Time
Forget 'The Good Dinosaur' from Disney. The best movie about these prehistoric creatures is the beautiful and delicate 'The Land Before Time', which had its original feature released in 1988 and then gained a series of other titles. In this seminal story, the viewer is invited to meet a small dinosaur who is alone in a dangerous period on Earth -- in a style very similar to 'Bambi'. From there, he joins other small dinosaurs to find the expected and awaited Land of Enchantment. A movie for the whole family to have fun and be moved by the journey.
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.
