Trailer
Why watch this film?
Shown and awarded at the Tiradentes Film Festival, 'A Mesma Parte de um Homem' talks about relationships. Not only human relationships, but also social ones - be it labels or, mainly, the power relationships of a man over a woman. From this, we follow the story of Renata, a woman who lives in fear, showing this in her words, attitudes and looks. It is a fear of what is inside the house, of what can happen in the bedroom, in the living room, in the kitchen. The thing changes shape, however, when the husband disappears. Is he dead? At this point, Renata begins to fear what is outside, from the outside. Until that changes with the arrival of a stranger in her life and in the life of her teenage daughter. Directed by Ana Johann ('O Que Nos Olha'), the feature film is right to talk about these relationships, the fears of the woman and the way it builds this patriarchal scenario of male domination, and with pertinent reflections on the figure of the woman in society. The only doubt is about the exaggeration in the performances, with many faces and mouths, in a plot that should have more emphasis on introspection. Apart from that, there is a good reflection on the effects of patriarchy in Brazil.

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.
