Trailer
Why watch this film?
After 'Rocky: A Fighter' and 'Raging Bull', it seems that boxing movies follow a pre-programmed playbook with their somewhat obvious fight scenes and repetitive human dramas. 'Jungleland', unfortunately, follows all these formulas. Here, we follow the journey of two brothers trying to make a living with boxing - the older one, played by Charlie Hunnam ('King Arthur'), is kind of an agent, while the younger one, played by Jack O'Connell ('Unbroken') is the one who gives and receives the punches. Max Winkler's ('Flower') screenplay ends up following the most obvious paths possible, never surprising the viewer. It's no wonder that around forty or fifty minutes into the projection we already feel tired. However, Hunnam and O'Connell's good performances convince and hold the quality of the production. So, it's that: do you want a different movie about boxing? It's not the most recommended production. But if you want to travel with these stories you already know, 'Jungleland' is the movie for you.

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.
