Why watch this film?
Starting in the second half of the 2010s, Brazilian comedy began to take on a new look in some of its releases -- creating almost a subgenre within national comedies. Out went sexist jokes and absurd situations and in came female characters with real dilemmas, like in 'Mulheres Alteradas' and 'TOC: Transtorno Obsessivo Compulsivo'. Now, director Cláudia Jouvin, of 'Um Homem Só', is back presenting the same light comedy with something to say with 'L.O.C.A.: Liga das Obsessivas Compulsivas por Amor'. Starring Débora Lamm, Mariana Ximenes and Roberta Rodrigues, the feature film tells the story of these three women in a complicated situation in love -- one of them is living a fleeting passion, another is facing her ex's machismo and another is dealing with infidelity. Even though Cláudia bets on some very obvious clichés to tell this story, it's hard not to have fun and have a good time following the journey of these women in the universe of love -- with some very real and necessary questions, going beyond the obvious in this female universe full of diversity.

Alone Man
A Brazilian dramedy that offers an interesting look at the monotony of day to day life and lack of perspective. Despite not being innovative and having a shallow script with expected solutions, the movie has its merits - including winning awards for Best Actress (Mariana Ximenes), Best Supporting Actor (Otávio Mller) and Best Cinematography at the Gramado Festival.
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.
