Why watch this film?
Inspired by a real FBI operation during the 1970s, this fun movie by David O. Russell brings one of the director's favorite themes: losers who do whatever it takes to come out on top. With glorious performances by Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence (all Oscar-nominated), 'American Hustle' will entertain you and also move you.

Silver Linings Playbook
Depression, manias, disorders, gambling, American football, dance, drama, comedy, romance... The Good Side of Life is a union of diverse elements in a big cauldron, resulting in an engaging film and about real situations.
Joy
The story of Joy Mangano is as unreal as it is inspiring: she built a sales empire from a mop. In her third collaboration with director David O. Russell ('Silver Linings Playbook', 'American Hustle'), Jennifer Lawrence manages to extract the humanity from the character in a script that is not entirely effective. Once again, she was nominated for an Oscar for her work on this movie, Joy.
Accidental Love
The story behind 'Accidental Love' can be better than the movie itself - which is not a difficult task, given the very low quality of the production. The feature film is directed by David O. Russell, a filmmaker known for productions such as 'Silver Linings Playbook', 'American Hustle' and 'Joy'. Those titles were remembered in the awards seasons, right? But in the middle of the way there was 'Accidental Love'. The romantic comedy with Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal was made before those mentioned titles, but finished afterwards. Russell was worried about the quality of the feature film and felt that, because it was so bad, a bad reception could hinder him with new undertakings. He solved this, then, signing the film with the pseudonym Stephen Greene. And even years later, he still tries to stay away from any discussion about the movie out of fear of burning his image in Hollywood. In other words: it's really a bomb, one of those movies that make you embarrassed. But, maybe because of that and the story behind it, it's a good alternative entertainment. Just understand the context and laugh a little at this small Russell failure, known for mistreating actors on stage. The world turns.
Amsterdam
What is 'Amsterdam'? "The name of the capital of the Netherlands," you must be answering. In David O. Russell's 'The Silver Linings Playbook', it takes on another meaning: a place we want to go to forget our problems, living in another reality. However, the story - set on the eve of World War II - throws up a dilemma: escaping this hard life won't erase your problems. Thus, we see the trio Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington being forced to face, in the heart of New York and far from Amsterdam, an adventure of crime and mystery involving very powerful people. The cast also features other famous names, such as Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Robert De Niro, Michael Shannon, Taylor Swift, Rami Malek, Mike Myers and many others. Even if it gets lost trying to mix too many elements, creating an amalgam of mystery, comedy, drama and romance, 'Amsterdam' has great art direction, the merit of setting a frighteningly current story and, above all, another great performance by Bale.

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.
