Trailer
Why watch this film?
Does the culture of winning do good? Is it more important to win than to just compete? What 'Foxcatcher' proposes is a dive into this exaggerated competition in American society, always looking for victory at all costs. All based on a true story - which, without knowing, must repeat itself every day.

From the same director
Capote
"Incredible performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman. If that's not enough of a reason to watch the movie, here's another: it provides an inside look into one of the most important moments in Truman Capote's career, one of the greatest English modern literature writers."
Moneyball
Despite "Moneyball" being based on a true story, don't worry if you don't know much about baseball. This sports movie is actually a rich story of how we can rethink processes and find ways to circumvent major difficulties to achieve what is considered an impossible goal. All this with the great direction of Bennett Miller and great acting by Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
