Why watch this film?
Mahershala Ali has already shown himself to be a great actor in films such as 'Moonlight' and 'Green Book'. He's one of those people who appear on the screen and, without surprises, cause genuine emotion. And that's exactly what happens in 'Swan Song', an exclusive Apple TV+ film in which Ali works alongside names like Naomie Harris, Awkwafina and Glenn Close. Written and directed by Benjamin Cleary ('Wave'), the feature film tells the story of Cameron, a man who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and who, to avoid his suffering and that of his closest relatives, is presented with a drastic and final solution. With good performances and an engaging story, 'Swan Song' is a heavy drama with deep brushstrokes, which speaks of existentialism in a simple and straightforward way, also counting with a little science fiction in the equation. It's hard to hold back emotion in some moments, especially with Ali's surefire performance. In the end, on top of that, there is the pure and simple reflection about our existence here.

Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction
In the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen, a young, self-appointed expert on love, Mr. Cazotte, is hired by the scheming Grand Duchess to help her secure an heir. While searching for a suitable future Princess, Mr Cazotte teaches the timid and introverted Crown Prince Lothar the art of seduction and lovemaking. But their plan soon backfires, when an heir is conceived out of wedlock and the royal family has to seek refuge in the castle of Rosenbad. Here, as rivals within the royal family close in on their scheme, Cazotte himself falls in love with Ehrengard, the maid of honor, and gradually learns that in fact, he's no expert on love at all.
The Strange Case of a Claustrophobic Ghost
A Mexican children's horror production aiming to evoke the awe-inspiring sensations typical of Steven Spielberg... with mixed results. The Strange Case of a Claustrophobic Ghost tells the story of siblings Nikolaj and Emil who, along with their friend Ximena, discover that there's a ghost living in a closet of their new home, and they decide to help it resolve a lingering issue so it can rest in peace. There are very clever moments, making it a good movie to introduce kids to horror cinema. However, for more experienced viewers, it doesn't conceal any surprises.
