Why watch this film?
Who doesn't have a friend who was stuck in the past, having difficulty accepting that we all need to grow and open up to new possibilities and opportunities? In 'Dissonantes' this is the case of Paulo (Marcelo Serrado), a 45-year-old man trying to live his dream of making the music he likes, but self-pressure, self-pity and Peter Pan syndrome don't allow it. He, however, finds himself involved with Loly (Thati Lopes), who seeks to win a highly commercial music reality show. From there, the feature film directed by Pedro Amorim ('Mato Sem Cachorro') builds a dramedy that addresses this late maturity, which makes us reflect on our own conceptions and thoughts. Could it be that, apart from exaggeration, we are not a little like Paulo and don't get out of the way, seeing life pass by while complaining? Or, at the other extreme, are we not in Loly's place, losing our essence by being only what others want? What is the middle of the road? Well executed technically and with good direction from Amorim, the movie ends up skidding in the script - mainly in the way it portrays the flaws of Serrado's character. Still, it is an interesting story about loss, love and music.

Plot summary
Paulo is a guitar player who was successful in the 90s and has lived since then in the illusion of recording the perfect record. He is completely grounded when Clara, his wife, abandons him - it's impossible to think about a future next to someone who stopped in the past. Alone and broke, Paulo is forced to rent his studio to Loly, the pupil of his former musical partner. Paulo's exposure to Hurricane Loly, the conflict that her convictions cause, and the boiling of this clash of generations will drive Paulo to the extreme of rethinking his entire life, not without a number of dissonant chords and lots of laughter.

Carlinhos e Carlão
What a surprise is "Carlinhos & Carlão", an original, necessary and refreshing national comedy with the exclusive seal of Amazon Prime Video. Starring an inspired Luis Lobianco (from "Porta dos Fundos"), the feature film tells the story of a macho and homophobic man who ends up being enchanted by a closet. And what happens is that every day, from 7 pm, he turns into Carlinhos, a happy, cheerful, fun and... gay man. Despite dealing with sensitive and urgent issues, "Carlinhos & Carlão" manages to bring a pleasant lightness while making people laugh. The memorable soundtrack, with songs from Gretchen and "I Will Survive", set the tone, despite the obviousness. But Lobianco, with lightness and brilliance, manages to move between the characters with humor and strength. A movie to laugh, of course, but also to think about some important paths for society.

A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.
Club Zero
Miss Novak joins the staff of an international boarding school to teach a conscious eating class and forms a strong bond with five students that eventually takes a dangerous turn.
Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
