Trailer
Why watch this film?
Justine Triet, from 'In Bed with Victoria', brings a drama based on a personal experience in 'Sybil'. Starring Virginie Efira (who also did 'In Bed with Victoria') and Adèle Exarchopoulos ('Blue Is The Warmest Color'), the movie revolves around a very complicated love triangle and although it is intriguing, the narrative gets a bit dull due to the lack of sympathy that the characters transmit. And this is not the case of the cast doing a bad job, but the problem is really the construction of each one's personalities, which end up seeming too superficial in the midst of what they are living. 'Sibyl' is not a bad movie, however it could be better if it were more relatable.

Anatomy of a Fall
Anatomy of a Fall is one of the major titles of the 2024 awards season. Although it was not France's chosen entry for the Oscar for Best International Film, the movie managed to carve out its own path outside the category. It's not surprising: this film by Justine Triet revolves around the death of a man who falls from the second floor of his own house. What happened? Did he jump, or was he pushed? From there, the wife, Sandra (Sandra Hüller), gets caught in a whirlwind, accused by the prosecution and forced to defend herself. Triet is not really interested here in finding the culprit or providing answers but in questioning the pursuit of truth. After all, what is the truth? Who owns the truth? These are the questions the film raises, making it stand out. Special mention to Hüller's performance, which manages to convey this complexity in her acting.
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.
