Why watch this film?
"Political movie, absorbing the tensions of a polarized society between Lula and Bolsonaro, 'The Debate' shows how political differences even affect intimacy. Directed by actor Caio Blat, making his debut behind the camera, the feature film appears, in a first layer, to be extremely tuned in to everything that has happened in Brazil since 2018. After all, at the center of the story, a couple of journalists (Débora Bloch and Paulo Betti) are in the eye of the storm when they have to decide how to approach an important presidential debate on the channel they work for. In contrast, Paula and Marcos - the aforementioned journalists played by Bloch and Betti - also live a conflict backstage in life. The relationship is getting more and more bitter, stranger, more uncomfortable. The friction at work exists also in personal life. Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? From this idea, Blat also brings symbols that represent Lula and Bolsonaro, without hiding these parallels, giving more truth to the story and showing how politics has ceased to be just an clash of ideas to be, also, a clash of people."

Our suggestions
Paula and Marcos have just split up after 20 years together. He is chief-editor of a news program and she is a television anchor. They have differing opinions, but remain friends and work partners. But despite this, the relationship of respect between them does not prevent them from having different views on how they should conduct the edition of the best moments of the debate that the TV will show - and which can interfere in the choice of hundreds of thousands of undecided voters.

Drama
Society of the Snow
On October 13, 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, chartered to take a rugby team to Chile, crashes into a glacier in the heart of the Andes.
The Book of Wonders
A beautiful French production that deals with a profound theme in an accessible and sincere manner. The Book of Wonders tells the story of a woman (Alexandra Lamy) whose 12-year-old son falls into a coma. The mother embarks on a journey to fulfill adventures on the wish list as a way to cope with the loss and also to show the beauty of the world. Like any movie of this kind, it has its clichés, but if you're looking for something to warm your heart, this is an excellent choice.
Maestro
When you sit down to watch Maestro, it's natural to expect a biographical film about Leonard Bernstein, the talented and complex conductor portrayed by Bradley Cooper – who also directs. However, what unfolds in the plot is not something like a typical biopic, but rather a nuanced film about the love between Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligan). Slow and contemplative, the feature avoids the pitfalls of turning this story into a melodrama in the style of Marriage Story, subtly presenting the emotions. On the contrary, Cooper leaves much implied so that we, the audience, can feel what is happening and not just observe. Therefore, it's a film that demands a lot from the audience, requiring them to engage with the concept and not find it merely monotonous.
NAGA
