Trailer
Why watch this film?
Director Michael Engler (responsible for several episodes of the series 'Downton Abbey', and also the feature film spin-off) presents 'The Chaperone', a drama set in 1920s New York and based on the true story of Ruth St. Denis (one of the pioneers of modern dance) and Louise Brooks (actress, dancer, and icon of the Jazz Age). Unfortunately, the movie fails to bring this story to the screen, not knowing if it is a drama or a comedy. The main highlight of the cast is Elizabeth McGovern, also from 'Downton Abbey' - something that may attract fans of the series.

Downton Abbey
"Downton Abbey," which aired from 2010 to 2015, is one of the most successful television dramas in history and the non-American production with the most Emmy nominations. The movie continues the story a few years after the TV show ended and covers many of the elements that made the show a success. Look, you won't enjoy it as much if you're not a series viewer. Now, if that's the case, get ready to return to the wonderful settings and costumes of the early 20th century, with splendid performances by Maggie Smith, Matthew Goode, Tuppence Middleton, Imelda Staunton and many other original cast members.
Drama
Kidnapped
'Kidnapped' - The story of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy living in Bologna, Italy, who in 1858, after being secretly baptized, was forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. His parents’ struggle to free their son became part of a larger political battle that pitted the papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification.
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.
