Why watch this film?
Lúcio Gualtieri (Roberto Birindelli) is a former police officer, now working as an investigator, who accepts a thankless job of going to the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay to solve a crime committed there in the region. However, upon arriving there, he finds himself in the midst of a criminal organization involved in a macabre plot and tormented characters. This is the plot of the movie 'Wild Waters', a Brazilian and Argentine production directed by filmmaker Roly Santos ('Qué Absurdo es Haber Crecido'). Despite the clichéd story, bringing the same old figure of the private detective with personal problems and tangential limits, the feature film features actors devoted to their characters. Not only is the always competent Birindelli well with his character, but supporting actors Mayana Neiva ('The Silence of the Rain') and Leona Cavalli ('Carandiru') also go beyond the obvious and create layers with good work with looks, gestures and the like. In the end, fans of police films can find here a good entertainment.

In His Shadow
A French film that depicts the violence present in the low-income neighborhoods of France. In His Shadow tells the story of two half-brothers, one of them blind, who must face an increasingly violent conflict after the death of their father revives old family conflicts. A somewhat conventional thriller, but whose social context gives an interesting twist to the genre.
Novembre
One of the most important and remembered - for the wrong reasons - events in recent French history are the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, affecting the Stade de France, a concert at the Bataclan theater, and several restaurants in the capital. Directed by one of France's most recognized filmmakers in the action genre, Cédric Jimenez (The Stronghold) and starring Jean Dujardin (The Artist), November: Paris Under Attack is a dramatic thriller that, in the tradition of similar American movies (like Patriots Day), recreates the events and the intense mobilization of law enforcement to find those responsible. Without a doubt, you'll enjoy it if you like this kind of recreation of real tragedies.
