Why watch this film?
When Guilherme Fontes is found dead in his car, what appears to be a suicide leads two investigators (Lázaro Ramos and Thalita Carauta) to uncover a web of strange events surrounding the victim. From the missing mistress (Mayana Neiva) to the wife (Cláudia Abreu) having an affair with a male prostitute (Bruno Gissoni), Daniel Filho's (Confessions of an Adolescent, If I Were You) 'O Silêncio da Chuva' develops a typical investigation story with twists, discoveries, and back-and-forths. Although it has a certain musty smell, especially due to some narrative decisions that were already worn out since the 1980s, the feature film knows how to play with the genre and bring some tense and surprising moments -- between us, the final twist is really good, although there is an entirely dispensable scene. It may not be the best investigation movie ever made in Brazilian lands, but it can be a good pastime for those looking for something without commitment.

Boca de Ouro
The renowned Brazilian director Daniel Filho takes on the task of adapting one of Nelson Rodrigues' works here. 'Boca de Ouro' was a play written by the author in the 1950s and now has another cinematic version - the first was made in 1962 and Daniel Filho is in the cast this time as an actor. As an expert of the story, he did a beautiful job with what he had and still managed to bring singularity to the production. The movie follows Boca de Ouro, a head of the bicho game. Some critics call him Don Corleone of Madureira, a neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Nelson Rodrigues built a plot that shows three versions of the protagonist's life, all told from his death. It is a film that not only pays homage to one of Brazil's greatest dramatists, but also exemplifies the reason why Rodrigues was so successful in his works.
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
