Trailer
Why watch this film?
Director Adam McKay ("The Big Short") is an expert in satire and black humor. With "Vice," the filmmaker portrays one of the most powerful and controversial figures in recent American history, Dick Cheney, with the same acidic sense of humor. Obviously, the star of the show is the chameleon Christian Bale in the lead role, accompanied by the great Amy Adams as his wife, and Sam Rockwell as George Bush. It's no surprise that the movie received eight Oscar nominations and won at the Golden Globe for Bale's performance. It is undoubtedly one of the most interesting films of the 2019 awards season, which makes the audience understand politics with humor.

The Other Guys
Before becoming the acclaimed filmmaker of 'The Big Short' and 'Vice', Adam McKay was one of the main names in American comedy, with films like 'Anchorman', 'Step Brothers' and 'The Other Guys'. This last one, specifically, tells the story of two bureaucratic policemen (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) who are called to action after the death of two colleagues -- in a hilarious special appearance by Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. From there, we follow the typical action comedy, in which the characters get into typical entanglements of a fictional policeman's day-to-day life, just like 'Brooklyn 99'. It's not an exceptional comedy from McKay, but you can have fun and embark on this comic idea of the backstage of a typical police investigation.
Don't Look Up
In his first movie since the Oscar-winning 'Vice', director Adam McKay returns in 'Don't Look Up' without losing his acidic humor. The film, which is worthy of the filmmaker's return, has a star-studded cast - with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Timothée Chalamet and Meryl Streep - and a story that fits perfectly with the Covid-19 pandemic, experienced from 2020 onwards. In the plot, two astronomers try to warn the population about a comet capable of destroying the Earth, but no one believes them. The production brings timely reflections on the course that humanity has taken and how it affects our lives, especially in relation to the destruction of nature. 'Don't Look Up' is a great social and political satire, hitting the right rhythm and balance between brilliant and depressing.
The Big Short
How could the US financial market enter into a huge crisis around ten years ago? 'The Big Short' has the merit of turning an initially dry question into an interesting, engaging story that explains the various variables of such a gamble - and how one can both win and lose a lot of money with it. You'll have fun, but also discover some harsh truths about capitalism - which is a great bonus.
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.
