The Souvenir
One of the most acclaimed films presented during the 2019 Sundance Film Festival (where it won the Jury Prize), 'The Souvenir' is a semi-autobiographical drama from subgenre "coming of age", with an incisive, mature and female vision of a destructive romantic relationship. A bittersweet tale of love confused with narcissism, opportunism and anxiety, with great performances by Tom Burke ('Only God Forgives') and the great Tilda Swinton ('We Need to Talk About Kevin').
The Souvenir: Part II
Director Joanna Hogg continues the story started with 'The Souvenir', about the tumultuous romance that ended in tragedy between a young film student, Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne), and an older man, Anthony (Tom Burke). In 'The Souvenir: Part II', we pick up exactly where Julie's life left off: after Anthony's death, she returns to London to make her graduation film, determined to make it a method of exorcising her pain. Set in 1985, the feature takes place in an era of profound political and social changes for England. At the same time, it is deeply metatextual: it's a story about an artist learning to find her voice amidst influences and impositions, while making art out of her life experiences (and it should be remembered that both parts of 'The Souvenir' are inspired by Hogg's own experiences). Its slow pace of long, calculated shots may not be for everyone, but this is a film of undeniable beauty for those who appreciate it on its own terms.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.

After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
