Trailer
Why watch this film?
Benedict Cumberbatch has specialized in fact-based, mystery and/or espionage dramas. After 'Sherlock', 'The Imitation Game' and 'The Spy Who Knew Too Much', the British star appears in 'The Courier' - which, in some way, is a mix of all of these. The story is based on the trajectory of Greville Wynne, a British businessman who helped MI6 infiltrate the Soviet nuclear program in the 1960s. The result is a production in the style of the old spy films, with the unlikely man in the wrong place and at the wrong time. The suspense falls into the common Manichaeisms and clichés of this type of production, as well as being a bit slow, but delivers a plot that involves the viewer - helped by a great performance by Cumberbatch. Great movie to watch (without sleep!) in the dark, in the most immersive way possible.

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
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
