Why watch this film?
After a long period of stagnation, Russian cinema has been producing interesting films throughout the 2010s and 2020s. On one hand, they have made copies of successful blockbuster formulas, focusing on the general public ('The Bride', 'The Guardians', etc). On the other, there is also an inventive independent cinema, with productions such as 'No Love' and 'Leviathan'. 'Lyod' fits perfectly in a middle ground between these two production styles. On one side, there is all the romance of the plot, very similar to what we have seen in American or European films. However, there are still Russian particularities - either in behavior or in society - that do not appear in the Russian blockbuster films. A good entry film into this universe, which still presents a romantic plot that should draw some sighs from the audience.

Major Grom: Plague Doctor
"Mayor Grom: Chumnoy Doktor" is a Netflix title with something new to offer. It's an action movie that follows a police story. Its main character is Major Grom, and the movie is an adaptation of a comic book series of the same name. Major Grom is a Russian character, and his comics are very famous there. Dynamic and exciting, the movie blends genre-typical traits with a more cartoonish atmosphere inherited from the comics, as well as delivering an original and somewhat different story than what we're used to from American police films. Great choice for those who like police investigation stories.
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
