Why watch this film?
A funny short film with not much of a story, but captivating due to its characters. After all, taking advantage of the real-life story of a power outage across much of the United States, director Tayler Montague builds a sensitive and delicate portrait of a simple family trying to deal with this moment without electricity, needing to further unite their bonds. It lacks a bit of power and care with the narrative, but it's hard not to smile at the final scene and, who knows, identify with the domestic drama of those characters that exude truth.

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.
