2 Fast 2 Furious
After the success of the first movie, Vin Diesel went to enjoy the stardom and left Paul Walker as the only star. Not that it's because of that, but '2 Fast 2 Furious' drops the ball a bit compared to the first feature of the series. However, it delivers the expected high-octane entertainment, with even more intense chases and at an accelerated pace. It won't require much attention to understand it. Therefore, it's ideal if you want a little escapism or to see the complete saga of 'Fast & Furious'.
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

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.
