Dolemite Is My Name
In the 1970s, cinema discovered the blaxploitation phenomenon - a subgenre of popular films made by and for African Americans in the US, but which eventually grew beyond the African American community. One of the great examples of this movement was 'Dolemite Is My Name', a crime film starring comedian Rudy Ray Moore that became a cult success. Now, none other than Eddie Murphy takes up the character in a Netflix exclusive production, in a feature that functions as a tribute to one of the actor's greatest influences. With a love letter to blaxploitation and Harlem (in a way, similar to Spike Lee in 'BlacKkKlansman'), 'Dolemite Is My Name' is perfect for nostalgic moviegoers, those who want to learn a bit more about African American culture, or Eddie Murphy fans who just want to have fun.
Coming 2 America
"You can't say that 'Coming 2 America' has the same wit and vigor as the first movie, released in 1988. After all, no matter how hard Eddie Murphy tries, the humor seems outdated. There are many mismatched jokes and, above all, director Craig Brewer ('Dolemite Is My Name') is constantly pointing to forced nostalgia in the film -- it's almost as if he pauses the movie, enters the screen and asks if we remember such a character, such a hint, such a joke. It's somewhat tiring. Nevertheless, 'Coming 2 America' still works. By telling the story of Akeem's (Eddie Murphy) return to the American continent, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery that goes far beyond the "discover America" narrative of the first movie. Thus, the characters are more interesting. And, in the end, we can even shed tears of nostalgia.
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
