Who has never been captivated by a book, to the point of seeing reality through the eyes of the work? That is what happens in this interesting story, full of romance, drama and humor. Who has never faced their muse or inspiring muse, let them cast the first stone...
The Innocents
War brings its horror to everyone. In this case, it was for a group of Polish nuns that were raped by Nazi officers. The movie tackles this case - based on true events - with a cold, sad atmosphere, yet still filled with faith. A story that makes us think not only about those times, but also about the present.
Police
Shown at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival, 'Police' is a police drama from filmmaker Anne Fontaine ('White As Snow') that, for better or worse, brings together in its script many of the ethnic, migratory and social aspects experienced in Europe (and in France, in particular) - not always with good results, though with good intentions. Although the plot may seem simple, the film is built from the divergent perspectives of its protagonists, enriching the eventual moral dilemma they face. It has in its favor that it manages to be a "commercial" film without losing ambition in the themes it addresses. The protagonist Omar Sy ('Lupin') is, in itself, a good reason to watch the feature.
Presidents
From acclaimed French director Anne Fontaine ("White as Snow"), 'Présidents' is a deeply rooted political satire in contemporary France, poking fun at two of its former presidents. Jean Dujardin ("The Artist") plays Nicolas (a parody of Sarkozy), who clings to a political life that has ended. In the hope of coming back, he decides to convince another happily retired president, François (an imitation of Hollande, played by Grégory Gadebois from 'Delicious: From the Kitchen to the World'). Though banal as political satire and very specific in its backgrounds, Présidents can be quite funny due to the undeniable chemistry between Dujardin and Gadebois, who, instead of imitating the former presidents as they really are, caricature them, persisting with the stereotype that inhabits collective consciousness.
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.
