Why watch this film?
A Swiss banker (Fabrizio Rongione) is suddenly forced to travel to Argentina when his partner disappears during a dictatorship. He must put out the fire between the bank's customers and regain their trust in the market. This is the plot of the good movie 'Azor', directed by Andreas Fontana, a newcomer to the role. The production has its own atmosphere and, instead of bringing this story in a banal way, just mixing apathetic elements, Fontana puts a lot of personality into the protagonist's journey. The character's conversations with his customers are whispered or hidden so as not to draw attention. Meanwhile, Azor is gaining strength more as an unexpected thriller than as a certain drama. Yvan doesn't know who to trust or how to make the same transactions his partner did. And what if he makes the same mistakes? From then on, we follow the meanders of the financial market - which remains the same through the decades and borders - and which always has the dictatorship as a kind of veiled threat, hovering over all his decisions.

Drama
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
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.
