The Son
The Argentine director Sebastián Schindel (responsible for the award-winning 'The Boss: Radiography of a Crime') and with a cast of first-line Argentine actors (Joaquín Furriel and Martina Gusman), 'El Hijo' is a peculiar thriller that reminds us of 'Rosemary's Baby'. The film makes a powerful reflection on the fears of parenthood, under an intriguing gothic setting, and a descent into madness in which the real and the imaginary cross.
The Wrath of God
Argentine thriller very complete, which combines drama, mystery and suspense in a good plot. The story revolves around a young woman immersed who finds herself in the middle of a cycle of deaths involving her relatives and she begins to suspect that her former employer may be involved. Much more than a narrative about crime, it is about mourning and how those left behind suffer. The question that permeates throughout the production is: is this an orchestrated tragedy or just an unfortunate fate? 'La Ira de Dios' is dark - daring - and a great recommendation of psychological thriller.
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
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.
