Trailer
Why watch this film?
Dalton Trumbo was one of the great screenwriters of the end of the Golden Age of Hollywood, having signed films such as 'Spartacus', 'Exodus' and 'The Princess and the Commoner'. However, during McCarthyism and the alleged "witch hunt" in the entertainment industry, Trumbo ended up on the list of professionals prohibited from being hired by the studios. This movie tells this story, with Bryan Cranston ('Breaking Bad') playing the title role. Thus, we see the harmful effects of the witch hunt lived in the Cold War, the impact on Trumbo's career and how he managed to circumvent these difficulties. The cast is star-studded and, in addition to Cranston, it features Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, Louis C.K., Elle Fanning, John Goodman and many others. Recommended for fans of the seventh art, but also for those who want to watch and reflect on the past and even the future.

Bombshell
Directed by Jay Roach ("Trumbo: Blacklist") and written by Charles Randolph ("The Big Short"), "Bombshell" is a timely biographical drama released after the wave of sexual harassment complaints in Hollywood and the US media industry in general. At times, it doesn't transcend sensationalism, but the movie is a great starting point to get to know the #MeToo and Time's Up movements. The highlights are the performances of Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie and a terrifying John Lithgow as Roger Ailes.
Drama
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.
