Why watch this film?
The relationship between doctor and patient can always yield intriguing stories. In 'Instinct', we have a psychologist (Carice van Houten, whom you will recognize as Melisandre from 'Game of Thrones') who goes to work in prison and gets involved with a prisoner who has committed serious sexual crimes (played by Marwan Kenzari, Disney's villain Jafar from the remake of 'Aladdin'). For some, this plot will remind them of the relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn in comics and movies; for others, of the controversial Dr. Drauzio Varella on 'Fantástico'. The fact is that this feature film adds a few more layers to this type of question. Actress Halina Reijn's (‘Operation Valkyrie’) debut as a director is intelligent, bringing a movie with a lot of sexual charge and ambiguous characters, which will certainly leave you impacted.

Bodies Bodies Bodies
A slasher that gives a fresh take on the genre and a good update, riding the Tiktok generation. It has some funny moments and the whole plot of "who is the killer?" is so absurd it's actually funny. The ending is completely unexpected, although there are some hints of what will happen. 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' may not be the best movie of the genre, but it manages to leave the viewer intrigued and delivers great scenes. It's practically a modern version of 'Slumber Party: The Massacre', a slasher from the 1980s.
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
