The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Nicolas Cage was an actor who had all the potential to be one of Hollywood's biggest names, but ended up going down a questionable path. Especially after some big flops ('The Sorcerer's Apprentice' and 'National Treasure: Book of Secrets'), he ended up prioritizing dubious projects and films with no artistic quality. It seemed like Cage was doomed to failure. Until the star began to turn things around, with films like 'Mandy' and 'Pig', until the complete consecration with 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent'. A film that puts the actor in a cult category, difficult to achieve, the feature film tells the story of Nicolas Cage himself - although with a fictional veneer, of course - living a complicated phase of his career after not getting an important role. Disillusioned, he accepts his manager's (Neil Patrick Harris) suggestion to accept the invitation of a Spanish billionaire (Pedro Pascal) who wants Cage at his birthday party. From then on, the actor's misadventure begins in Spanish lands, with a mix of comedy of errors, action sequences and, above all, a tribute to Nicolas Cage's work that shows that, despite the mistakes in project choices, he is undeniably one of those stars that we can (and should!) appreciate his work.

The Potemkinists
In 1905, the sailors on the battleship Potemkin are given political asylum in Romania - an act of defiance against Russia. In 2021, a sculptor (Alexandru Dabija) wants to create an artwork inspired by the event. A comedy about art, history, memory and cinema, which film critic Andrei Gorzo describes as "a cross between a Caragiale sketch and a Mark Rappaport video essay"
Hard Feelings
Two best friends try to make it through high school while dealing with embarrassing new urges and their very inconvenient feelings for each other.
Where the Tracks End
This is a touching Mexican film directed by Ernesto Contreras (I Dream in Another Language, Cosas imposibles), based on the eponymous novel by Ángeles Doñate, which in turn is inspired by the real cases of "railroad schools" that existed in rural areas of Mexico around the mid-20th century (and of which one still exists). Where the Tracks End (El últimio vagón) tells the story of Ikal (Kaarlo Isaac), who constantly travels with his father for him to give maintenance to the train tracks. He ends up joining one of these railroad schools, where he meets new friends and where the teacher Georgina (Adriana Barraza, Academy Award nominee for Babel) does her best with what she has to educate them, in the face of the threat from an official of the Ministry of Education who intends to close the school. It's a conventional yet moving story, well-written and with excellent performances, perfectly suitable for a family weekend with a beautiful tale of friendship and empathy.
Walking with Herb
A man with his faith shaken receives a call from God to fulfill an old dream: to participate in the World Golf Championship. He will embark on a spiritual journey alongside a somewhat bumbling but kind-hearted guide.
