Why watch this film?
Movie inspired by Charles Dickens' work, 'Serebryanye Konki' is an exclusive Netflix feature film that takes a different path than contemporary Russian cinema. No exaggerated horror productions like 'The Bride' or 'The Mermaid', nor the seriousness of 'No Love' or 'Leviathan'. Here, debut filmmaker Michael Lockshin travels to the turn of the 19th century to 20th century to talk about a boy who enters a life of crime by pickpocketing and ends up falling madly in love with a young aristocrat. The visuals are stunning, not losing anything from period productions made in the United States. However, it is worth saying: despite the references in literature from that time, with an interesting reconstruction of customs and social relationships, 'Serebryanye Konki' ends up embracing melodrama to talk about the relationship between these two characters. But still, a good period film to dive a little deeper into Russia's history and, above all, escape the monotony of American films.

The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
