Miracle in Cell 7
With production values that are somewhat common, but with a perfectly crafted story to touch our hearts, this Turkish movie has become a true phenomenon thanks to its worldwide distribution on Netflix. This version of 'Yedinci Kogustaki Mucize' is actually the third remake of the same-named 2013 Korean movie (which was also adapted in India and the Philippines), with major changes to the script to achieve its goal: keep us glued to the tissue box with its tender story of compassion (the original ending is radically different and much darker). Therefore, it's a production that will surely repel those who don't like this type of sentimentality, but one thing that is indisputable is that, due to its lead performance, young Aras Bulut İynemli confirms himself as one of the most popular Turkish actors.
Godspeed
Prepare yourself, for this is a movie that will move you from start to finish - especially in the ending, as it is both disturbing and unexpected. In the story, an ex-army captain travels to Dalyan, Turkey, to prevent the woman his friend loves from marrying another man. As if his mission wasn't complicated enough, traumas from a tragedy will shake his psychological state. The film is of absurd care, with its cinematography, soundtrack, plot, and performances from the actors. The weight of a war is unimaginable for those who have never experienced it, and this production manages to be very delicate in addressing it, without force, without unnecessary violence. A story from which many lessons can be learned. Yolun Açik Olsun!
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
