Why watch this film?
Rivers and streams, since Ancient Greece, have had their stories intertwined with entities, be they divine or not. There is something supernatural about these natural formations, with water running through its course. Something mythical. But this has been lost, the myths forgotten and the rivers and streams left behind. It is precisely this strength and importance of water courses that are remembered in 'Pajeú', a Brazilian feature film by Pedro Diógenes ('Inferninho'). Here, he tells the story of Maristela (Fátima Muniz), a woman tormented by the vision of a creature that inhabits the Pajeú stream in Fortaleza. It was forgotten, left behind. It is an obstacle, not a blessing. It is a stone in the way, not a refreshment. From this, Diógenes plays with terror, documentary and drama to not only tell the story of this woman, but also to recover the memory of Pajeú, hidden in pipes that cross the city and give space to real estate speculation.

Drama
Society of the Snow
On October 13, 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, chartered to take a rugby team to Chile, crashes into a glacier in the heart of the Andes.
The Book of Wonders
A beautiful French production that deals with a profound theme in an accessible and sincere manner. The Book of Wonders tells the story of a woman (Alexandra Lamy) whose 12-year-old son falls into a coma. The mother embarks on a journey to fulfill adventures on the wish list as a way to cope with the loss and also to show the beauty of the world. Like any movie of this kind, it has its clichés, but if you're looking for something to warm your heart, this is an excellent choice.
Maestro
When you sit down to watch Maestro, it's natural to expect a biographical film about Leonard Bernstein, the talented and complex conductor portrayed by Bradley Cooper – who also directs. However, what unfolds in the plot is not something like a typical biopic, but rather a nuanced film about the love between Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligan). Slow and contemplative, the feature avoids the pitfalls of turning this story into a melodrama in the style of Marriage Story, subtly presenting the emotions. On the contrary, Cooper leaves much implied so that we, the audience, can feel what is happening and not just observe. Therefore, it's a film that demands a lot from the audience, requiring them to engage with the concept and not find it merely monotonous.
NAGA
