Why watch this film?
Brazilian production by director Heitor Dhalia ('O Cheiro do Ralo', 'Serra Pelada', 'Tungstênio' and other great titles) is very important about the toxic environment that women face in the artistic world. This project was written and rewritten for years in the director's mind, and 'Anna' was one of the most complicated works of Dhalia, as he confessed in interviews, and we can see why when we watch the movie. The story revolves around a director trying to put on Shakespeare's play 'Hamlet' after a failed attempt. Dominated by his insecurity, he faces his conflicts as he takes a risk again with the Shakespearian epic. Not only that, he ends up crossing the boundaries between reality and imagination due to the relationship he develops with the actresses, in this case, with Anna, the Ophelia of the adaptation. A Brazilian film that reflects the wave of the #MeToo movement, which gained a lot of strength in the United States with the accusations of women about the abuses they have suffered and continue to suffer in the media, due to the lack of limits of film and TV producers and directors. 'Anna' explores this field in theater, in a poetic way, dissecting the complexities of the human mind.

Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
