Why watch this film?
Directed by Andrew Dominik ("The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"), this documentary is a companion piece to his previous production, "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Again, but with Feeling" and, thus, an essential piece for the musician's fans. The narrative of 'This Much I Know to be True' explores the friendship between Cave and his collaborator Warren Ellis as they prepare for the first performances of the albums 'Ghosteen' and 'Carnage' in Spring 2021, after a long season where the musicians spent much time away from the stages and their audience due to the pandemic. The directing and music are sublime, but what truly makes this documentary powerful is the musician's emotionality, the lessons he shares, and the general optimism of the production.

Blonde
From director Andrew Dominik ("This Much I Know to Be True"), "Blonde" is not exactly a biopic of the legendary Marilyn Monroe, but rather a biographical fiction based on the eponymous novel by Joyce Carol Oates. As such, both in the novel and in this cinematic adaptation, there is a considerable "poetic license" with the facts. However, the novel attempted to paint a psychological portrait of the former Norma Jeane Baker, portraying (in broad strokes) the main aspects that marked her difficult life and the painful price she paid for becoming perhaps the greatest celebrity of the 20th century. However, it must be warned: despite a truly masterful performance by Ana de Armas, as well as a beautiful soundtrack composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Dominik's film blatantly falls into exploitation of its protagonist, exalting her suffering and failing to represent other aspects of her life. It may work as an entry point into the myth of Marilyn Monroe (but there are definitely others better). Read more about it in our review. Or click here to find out what's true or false in the movie.

La Bonga
La bonga is an emotional Colombian documentary, selected for film festivals like Guanajuato (Mexico), Costa Rica, and San Francisco. The documentary portrays the return of hundreds of people to the title town, now swallowed by the jungle, after they had to abandon it decades earlier due to threats of violence from paramilitary groups.

Life Is Not a Competition, But I'm Winning
Life is not a Competition, but I'm Winning is a sports documentary that challenges one of the most debated—and controversial—issues in professional sports in recent years: the rigidity of gender-based competitive divisions—male and female—with the resultant exclusion of transgender athletes. With a visual style that goes beyond typical sports documentaries, this production challenges these classifications while celebrating the triumphs of transgender women who have been denied the opportunity to compete and represent their disciplines—and even their nations—on the podium.

Skywalkers: A Love Story
Skywalkers: A Love Story is a documentary presented at the Sundance Festival 2024 that, from its theme and subjects, might already seem controversial: it follows a couple dedicated to rooftopping, the activity of clandestinely scaling skyscrapers and other tall structures, and documenting it. The documentary explores their trajectories, motivations, and romantic relationship, as they prepare for the most risky—and important—climb of their lives. Filled with spectacular and even terrifying images, with editing that keeps the viewer engaged, Skywalkers will fascinate the curious, even if, as such, its reflections on love never reach the same heights.
