Why watch this film?
One of the high points in the career of any professional chef is to achieve, through their restaurant, a coveted Michelin star - if three stars come, even better. The Danish drama 'Smagen af sult', starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Katrine Greis-Rosenthal, is precisely about this search and, finally, the effects it can have on everyone's life. Here, specifically, filmmaker Christoffer Boe (from 'Department Q: In Search of Vengeance') dives into the story of a powerful couple in the gastronomic scene who enter a spiral of desire and envy in an attempt to conquer one of these little stars. It is a movie that starts calm, with even a certain slowness, but that soon takes an unexpected direction and will surprise by its cadenced rhythm.

The Purity of Vengeance
The Danish police franchise 'Department Q' has gained strength in recent years with films like 'Department Q: Guardians of Lost Causes' and 'Department Q: The Absent'. Now it returns to use the classic elements of the genre's stories: desperate police officers with personal problems, having to run against time to unravel obscure crimes. In the case of this fourth chapter of the saga, 'Journal 64', the detective-protagonists must follow the thread of clues and hints to understand how three mummified corpses are connected with crimes of the past. Although with some rhythm problems, the feature film well directs the franchise and shows how the police genre, although often repetitive, can be found in the clichés and bases of the genre to reinvent itself and surprise. Highlight also for Nikolaj Lie Kaas ('Angels and Demons'), the face of the series.
Offscreen
This strange movie mixes fiction and reality to a point where it is difficult to distinguish one from the other, which also raises questions about privacy and the human need to record absolutely everything. 'Offscreen' is a unique experience - it will surely remind you of Lars von Trier’s early films.
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
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
