Why watch this film?
One of Chaplin's great works, 'Modern Times' is one of the greatest triumphs of comedy, celebrated to this day as an important milestone in the director and actor's career. Besides being a masterpiece of the genre, the movie still has a very relevant social character. On first analysis, there is a critique of industrial society and the increasing automation of the workday and the precariousness of working conditions, consequences of the Fordist system. In the background, however, there is another subtext to this film: 'Modern Times' reflects Chaplin's career in a transitional period where silent cinema was becoming outdated. By releasing such a remarkable silent film at a time of modern times where dialogues dominated the cinemas, Chaplin proved that silent films were not made for mere technological restriction, but that they had their own unique charm and merit, and that they would be irreplaceable. Finally, Chaplin still plays with this transition in an extremely sagacious way: he only makes one scene with sound, for the first time we can hear his voice in the history of cinema, and it is emblematic that in this first appearance of his voice, all he says are incomprehensible gibberish, mere blather.

Comedy
A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.
Club Zero
Miss Novak joins the staff of an international boarding school to teach a conscious eating class and forms a strong bond with five students that eventually takes a dangerous turn.
Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
