Why watch this film?
Few productions are as iconic to pop culture as the 'Batman' series, produced between 1966 and 1968. After all, only that decade could give us such a zany mix! The comics of the Caped Crusader, the saturation explosion of the newly arrived color TV, Andy Warhol's camp and pop art culture, rock'n'roll (still in its "ye-ye-ye" phase) and the last breaths of innocence in the world helped create a myth that crossed decades. The feature film 'Batman: The Movie' was produced in the wake of the success on television, with producer William Dozier realizing he could also bring crowds to the cinemas. The result is exactly what we see in the series: a lot of exaggeration, an almost childish script and situations that, even for the time, were already pretty silly. But the movie embraces all this with praise, affirming right away that it is also there for lovers of the absurd. That's why we have a movie that will get very small children excited, while adults will laugh at the nonsense humor. There is even a subtext about the need for global unity - something important in the Cold War, but also very relevant for current generations. If you think the Dark Knight is just that gray encanação from Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder's films, hit play with an open heart and prepare to find out that yes, Batman can be chubby and the Joker can have a mustache under the makeup. Curiosidade: 'Batman' and 'Batman, The Movie' were produced before DC Comics became part of the same group as (today's) WarnerMedia - so the two productions were from 20th Century Fox and, on streaming, are currently in the hands of Disney, owner of the Star+ platform.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
After "Fantastic Mr. Fox," director Wes Anderson (Asteroid City) once again tackles an adaptation of a Roald Dahl work with "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar," an exclusive Netflix short film in which the filmmaker pushes all the boundaries of his distinctive style. The result is a brilliant piece that plays with various narrative levels: the story is narrated by Dahl himself (Ralph Fiennes), who tells how the egocentric and eccentric millionaire Henry Sugar (Benedict Cumberbatch) discovers a notebook containing notes from a doctor (Dev Patel) about the experiences of a circus mystic (Ben Kingsley), a man who learned to "see without using his eyes." Wes Anderson's entire idiosyncrasy is taken to its extremes in this short film, so it won't change your mind if you're one of his critics. However, fans will delight in a true treat in which the director shows that the artifice of his cinema is no impediment to reaching profound and moving truths with his stories.
