Trailer
Why watch this film?
Interesting and sensitive work by director Josephine Decker ("You Were Light and Graceful") in this "Madeline's Madeline". With a curious title, the feature film tells the story of Madeline. An actress, she gets the role in a play to play the protagonist. The problem is that the main character wears a sweater like Madeline's; has a cat like Madeline's and holds a smoldering iron bar next to her mother's face, like Madeline. It's a copy of her on stage. From there, with an interesting and unexpected mix of documentary and surrealism, we see this character spiral into questions, putting the power of art at the center of the reflection. A movie with personality for those who like daring films in their proposal.

From the same director
Shirley
The legacy of American writer Shirley Jackson, known for her horror stories such as 'The Haunting of Hill House', was well honored in this production, which looks like one of her books. Because of this, 'Shirley' is one of those movies that you either love or hate. Director Josephine Decker made an interesting adaptation for the cinema of the biography written by Susan Scarf Merrell. The choice of Elisabeth Moss to play Shirley was spot on. As with everything Moss does, we once again follow an excellent performance that is almost magnetic. It's hard to take your eyes off her as soon as she appears on the screen.
The Sky Is Everywhere
With a poetic title, 'The Sky Is Everywhere' is a movie about adolescence, but it is not necessarily directed to that audience. After all, the feature film follows the journey of a shy teenager, who is following the path of music, and has to deal with the loss of her older sister. Despite this type of story having already been told in many ways, director Josephine Decker (‘Shirley’) is able to delve into dense themes with lightness and sensitivity, prioritizing reflection on loss, death and mourning. Highlight for the good cast of 'The Sky Is Everywhere', with names like Jason Segel ('Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and 'How I Met Your Mother') and Cherry Jones ('The Village', 'Signs').
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
