Trailer
Why watch this film?
A story like open relationships and marriages pushing for more social acceptance. Does it only work in a sexual context? That's the main question of 'Mark, Mary & Some Other People'. With a good soundtrack and funny dialogue, this movie could have thrown itself a bit since it brings such a broad subject. For an audience with an open mind, the production bets on a safe path, but can please those who like a sexual comedy. Without a doubt, the movie yields good laughs.

Don't Make Me Go
Movies are constantly in the cinema where protagonists take a journey to rediscover the meaning of their relationships and strengthen bonds that seemed irreconcilable. However, although 'Don't Make Me Go' joins the list, the production carries out this narrative line in a much more intimate and minimalist way. John Cho ('Star Trek') leads the cast offering an engaging performance in a story about unconditional love between parents and children in the midst of a devastating situation: death. Going beyond the emotional aspect of the feature, director Hannah Marks successfully balances comedy and drama, along with warm cinematography and harmonious landscapes that will make you enjoy the journey like its characters.
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
Club Zero is a film with a risky proposition: to understand how young people, especially those of Generation Z, dive headfirst into new trends to feel like they belong to something. But at what cost? That's what this complicated film by Jessica Hausner (Little Joe) seeks to understand. Complicated, not because it has any complexity, but because it tackles a thorny issue (this particular behavior) and further complicates it by addressing eating disorders, with young people stopping eating for the sake of a better world. With not much material to discuss, the film ends up going in circles and dangerously falling into emptiness. However, Hausner still manages to find some space to reflect on where the world is heading and, above all, where this dangerous herd behavior is taking us — something that, ultimately, the film itself ends up embracing by adhering to trends reminiscent of Wes Anderson's style and Greek cinema aesthetics.
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.
