Why watch this film?
Rafael Gomes is a director and screenwriter who knows how to tell stories about the end of loves like few others. After talking about it in '45 Days Without You' and 'Music to Die of Love', he intensifies his world view on love in 'My Love Album'. Here, the filmmaker expands his discourse even further by talking not only about the romantic relationship between people, but also about family love, between father and son. To do this, he tells the story of Julio (Gabriel Leone), a young man whose heart has just been broken and who, at the same time, discovers that his father is a decades-old (or would it be popular?) Brega singer who died recently. From then on, Gomes mixes beautiful original music in a round movie about affective responsibility, whether in the love relationship or in the relationship between parents, mothers and children. Absolute highlight for the soundtrack by Arnaldo Antunes and Odair José. Click here to read more about the film, in an interview with the director.

Music for Bleeding Hearts
Right off the bat, I want to make it clear: 'Music to Die of Love' is a cliché movie. One of those romances you know how it starts, how it goes and how it ends. You've seen these characters dozens of times on other screens, you know this kind of story inside out. But it's like that: in the end, this movie by Rafael Gomes couldn't make more sense. Even if it appeals too much to ready-made and effective phrases, 'Music to Die of Love' talks about teenage romances and passions. Or, at least, what we imagine to be teenage romances and passions. With a striking soundtrack that manages to convey the necessary feelings to accompany the plot, it's hard for the viewer not to get excited when following the loves and heartbreaks of the trio of protagonists, always in some kind of relationship. A lot of things here don't make sense, others irritate. But that's okay. It's a love story, as we've seen around. Sometimes, that's the best company.
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.

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.
