Why watch this film?
This is a great tragicomedy, quite sarcastic. The script discusses power, work, human relationships, submission, infidelity, dignity, injustice, and balance, all in a very cohesive and intelligent way. In the story, the owner of a company tries to solve all the possible problems of the place before the arrival of a committee that will make a visit to see if the establishment deserves an award. With an excellent performance by Javier Bardem, 'El Buen Patrón' was written and very well directed by Fernando León de Aranoa ('Escobar: A Traição'). It is worth noting that Aranoa and Bardem have worked together before and, once again, we have proof that they make an excellent pair.

A Perfect Day
A tragicomic film that puts on one side tragedy for the people living in a war-torn area and on the other, a bumbling humanitarian group. A comedy that makes us reflect, backed with a great script.
Loving Pablo
For some, a hero. For others, one of the greatest traffickers and outlaws in history. That is Pablo Escobar, brought to life with an extremely charismatic performance by Javier Bardem (Oscar winner for 'No Country for Old Men') in ‘Escobar: Paradise Lost'. Going beyond what was portrayed in the series ‘Narcos’, director Fernando León de Aranoa (from ‘A Perfect Day’) deals with the life of the criminal from his relationship with a famous journalist, called Virginia Vallejo and played by Penélope Cruz (who won an Academy Award for 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'). The politics, murders, and negotiations of one of the most remarkable criminals of the last century are revealed by one of his greatest passions in a screenplay based on the book written by Virginia, called ‘Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar’.
Comedy
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.
