Why watch this film?
The only Carnival that Brazilians had in 2021 was on Netflix. This romantic comedy is ideal for getting into the spirit, in a different way than we are used to, but it reminds us of a pleasant time of the year. In the story, digital influencer Nina, who ends up becoming a joke on the internet after going viral with a video of her boyfriend's betrayal, wins a trip to Salvador during Carnival with her three best friends. The trip will make them all rediscover the value of friendship and that the universe of influencers is not the wonderful thing they think it is. A very "good vibes" movie from the streaming giant, which yields good laughs and makes relevant critiques of the virtual world - about agreeing to everything to become famous and the culture of cancellation. A very current and light production, which also opens space for the impacts that fame has on people's lives, whether you are famous or a friend of one.

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.
