Why watch this film?
Marie Curie, born Marie Skłodowska, was one of the greatest scientific minds in history - and one of the most underrated in her time, for being a woman. Her legacy transformed science and medicine forever, and led her to win the Nobel not once, but twice, making her the first person (and only woman) to accomplish such a feat, as well as the only one to do it in two different fields. 'Radioactive' is a biographical drama based on the book 'Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout' by Lauren Redniss, adapted by screenwriter Jack Thorne ('Extraordinary'). Directed by Marjane Satrapi ('Persepolis'), the film follows a surreal logic that translates into visually imaginative and impressive sequences depicting the future implications of Curie's work. Thanks to this aesthetic vision the film is saved from completely falling into the cliché of the "biographical film about an inspiring woman". This is also compensated by Rosamund Pike's ('I Care A Lot') truly phenomenal performance, accompanied in the cast by Sam Riley ('Maleficent'), Anya Taylor-Joy ('The Queen's Gambit') and Aneurin Barnard ('Dunkirk').

The Voices
Years before becoming the world's favorite deranged superhero with 'Deadpool', Ryan Reynolds already put his multifaceted charisma and versatile voice to work for the protagonist of another comedy, one that is extremely violent and with a very, very dark sense of humor. 'Las voces' ('The Voices'), Marjane Satrapi's (‘Persepolis’) atypical fourth attempt at directing, tackles schizophrenia not with tact but with a sense of humor that can be highly coarse and simplistic for some. Though the movie is tonally disjointed and tends towards exploitation, it is anchored by Reynolds’ performance and the well-crafted production design, which together manage to visually represent an approach to this mental illness.
Persepolis
Originally, 'Persepolis' is a French autobiographical graphic novel, in which comic artist Marjane Satrapi tells her childhood and the beginning of her adult life in an Iran shaken by the Islamic Revolution. Here, the story was adapted to the animation format precisely by Marjane, alongside director Vincent Paronnaud. The result is one of the best animations of the 21st century, with a lot of sensitivity and good humor. Obviously, 'Persepolis' was nominated for the Oscar - and, for those reasons that only the Academy knows, ended up losing to the good 'Ratatouille'.
Drama
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.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego.
