Deep Inside
Who said there aren't good horror movies in contemporary Brazilian cinema? Besides names like Marco Dutra and Juliana Rojas, we can find traces of suspense, horror and thriller in Tomás Portella's work ('Operações Especiais') with a special mention to the good 'Isolados'. Despite the exaggeration in some clichés and the use of ready-made formulas from American cinemas, the production is exciting with the journey of a couple who will spend some time in an isolated house from society. However, the husband soon begins to hear and witness violent acts around the house. It's a movie without great moments and also not very memorable, but it serves for the moment, with some scares and surprises guaranteed. With Bruno Gagliasso and Regiane Alves, both well in their characters.
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
