Trailer
Why watch this film?
An intriguing story about how memory and hallucinations intertwine to compose a trauma. 'Elyse' revolves around Elyse (Lisa Pepper), a woman who is lost in her own mind and can't make sense of what is real. She ends up interned in a psychiatric institution under the care of Dr. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins). The script leaves us just as confused as the protagonist, which is very interesting because we can't identify either what she is imagining or what really happened. Hopkins is excellent, as always, and Pepper too, the whole cast does a good job. Curiosity: the direction is by Stella Hopkins, Anthony's wife - in her debut in the role.

Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
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.
