Why watch this film?
A hilarious, award-winning movie from the Asian festival circuit will have you laughing at its funny situations (while reflecting on your own mistakes). 'Dear Ex' is full of very human characters with flaws, capable of overcoming any prejudices. The movie is about a woman who, after her ex-husband's death, discovers that all of the deceased's fortune went to his current partner, another man, and not to her son. Couldn't be more timely.

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.
