Why watch this film?
This German film attempts to show the problems of a fascist regime, but ends up sending a mixed message. In the story, a survivor of a terrorist attack joins a European youth movement that seeks nothing less than to take control of the country. For a production that wants to denounce this type of politics and show how wrong racism is, it is a bit contradictory that the entire cast is composed of white people. 'Je Suis Karl' makes you reflect on youth, this desire for change that we have at certain moments in life, and also on the influence of student movements.

Munich: The Edge of War
George MacKay, from '1917', returns to another war story, this time set in World War II and alongside Jeremy Irons. The historical context of the film is based on the story of Neville Chamberlain (Irons), Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. The story follows the efforts of the young German diplomat Paul (Jannis Niewöhner) to smuggle a document to his former Oxford University classmate Hugh (George MacKay), now Chamberlain's private secretary. This event precedes World War II. It is a grandiose and different production, despite bringing a very recurrent theme in cinema.
Thriller
The Dive
Two sisters go diving at a beautiful, remote location. One of the sisters is struck by a rock, leaving her trapped 28 meters below. With dangerously low levels of oxygen and cold temperatures, it is up to her sister to fight for her life.
Golda
One of the main figures in the political landscape after World War II was Golda Meir. With her warm features, like a grandmother serving cake and coffee, the Israeli politician was one of the founders of the State of Israel and led it during the 1970s, being responsible for managing the country in times of conflict while Israel established itself as a nation before the rest of the world. It is precisely during this period that Golda, the feature film, takes place, which follows the backstage of the Yom Kippur War, when Israel faced Egypt and Syria. It is a smart biographical drama, which cuts off a single scenario to tell the life story of one of the most emblematic (and controversial) characters in Jewish political history. With Golda being played by an unrecognizable Helen Mirren, heavily made up but with force in her facial expressions, the feature film manages to impress with its faithful portrait of the Prime Minister. There is only one point of attention: director Guy Nattiv (Oscar-winning for the short Skin) fails to address other views on Golda and the Israeli cause to embrace a single view of Israel and Golda as the good guys and the Arabs, as has been happening for decades in cinemas, as heartless villains.
