D.P.A. 3 O Filme: Uma Aventura no Fim do Mundo
It's amazing what the 'Blue Building Detectives' franchise has achieved: it hit the magical number of 1 million viewers in the cinema, established itself on TV as a success among kids and, on top of that, managed to make a beautiful journey on the theater stages. It is no wonder, then, that the saga of the junior detectives arrives at its third chapter with the friendly, honest and fun 'D.P.A. 3: An Adventure at the End of the World'. Unexpectedly directed by Mauro Lima, from 'Tim Maia', 'My Name Is Not Johnny' and 'Kings and Rats', the movie tells the story of the four detectives (Pippo, Bento, Berenice and Sol) facing an ancestral threat that affects the doorman Severino (Ronaldo Reis). Out of nowhere, he becomes a person of evil who wants to affect the four children. From then on, a race begins to save Severino while they also flee from witches (Klara Castanho and Alexandra Richter). Lima moves away from the adult, serious and daring tone of his other experiences as a director to embrace a movie that repeats patterns to tell the story of children in an adventure full of fantasy. 'D.P.A. 3' follows, thus, the b-a-ba of the other two feature films, hitting the right emotion and excitement of this story. Those who are fans of the other two films, as well as the series and the theater play, will be enchanted with the farewell of this beloved cast.

Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
