Trailer
Why watch this film?
Part drama, part romantic comedy and pure postmodernism, 'Shakespeare in Love' (also known as 'Shakespeare Passionate') is the perfect example of an extremely sappy romance that also alludes to a great deal of the work of the most famous playwright of all time. Winner of seven Academy Awards, it is considered, in retrospect, one of the unjustified recipients of the Academy Award for Best Picture, although it certainly has a solid production and costume design. It is also the movie credited with launching Gwyneth Paltrow into stardom.

Operation Mincemeat
Historical drama based on facts about World War II, 'Operation Mincemeat' follows two British agents who devise a peculiar way to deceive the Nazis and change the course of the conflict. Despite the serious theme, the movie manages to have light moments, which gives a different treatment to this type of story - which can please or not, as it can sound disrespectful to some. Thus, the feature is witty, entertaining and adequately full of suspense with a well-crafted story. John Madden's direction is excellent, developing an engaging rhythm from the start. The cast of the production, formed by Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald, Jason Isaacs and Penelope Wilton, is great.
Romance
Licença para Enlouquecer
When the lives of friends Sara, Lia and Leia turn into chaos of planetary proportions, they have to share a tiny apartment in São Paulo and almost go crazy. Who never? But the three are enough. They become accomplices to fulfill an indecent and irrefutable proposal: crossing the country to “animate” a secret party on the paradisiacal beach of Maragogi, in Alagoas. An absurdly unexpected adventure, with twists, passions, the strength of friendship and a surprise that will transform their destinies.
How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
The Taste of Things
From Vietnamese-French director Anh Hung Tran (The Scent of Green Papaya) and starring the legendary Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, The Taste of Things was France's selection for the 2024 Oscars, although it was not nominated. Set in 1889 and based on the character of Dodin-Bouffant created by Marcel Rouff, the story follows a chef (Magimel) enchanted by his cook (Binoche), for whom he feels not only culinary admiration, but genuine love. However, she is not ready to take the step into marriage and is happy and content with the relationship they have. Sensual in its visuality and narrative, it is a powerful story of love and about love, which, while not entirely breaking free from conventions, is elevated by the formidable talent of its protagonists.
Me Before You
Young and quirky Louisa "Lou" Clark moves from one job to the next to help her family make ends meet. Her cheerful attitude is put to the test when she becomes a caregiver for Will Traynor, a wealthy young banker left paralyzed from an accident two years earlier. Will's cynical outlook starts to change when Louisa shows him that life is worth living. As their bond deepens, their lives and hearts change in ways neither one could have imagined.
