150 Milligrams
This is a true story, the story of the drug Mediator, which caused at least 500 deaths in France, now brilliantly adapted for a modern audience by director Emmanuelle Bercot. The case has yet to be resolved in court, but '150 Milligrams' brings a bit of justice to those who have worked hard to prevent further deaths.
Standing Tall
A touching movie, depicting a story that happens hundreds, thousands of times every day. Rod Paradot is electric onscreen, playing a young man who is a true explosion of emotion and desires.
On My Way
The strength of the movie lies in the performance of Catherine Deneuve, an icon of French cinema. Watching 'Ela Vai' is, more than anything else, a tribute to the actress's work, as well as a story that inevitably touches the older audience. The story is starring Bettie, a woman already in her 60s who goes through financial and romantic difficulties but decides to hit the road to overcome it all. The direction is by Emmanuelle Bercot, who has accumulated good works in front and behind the cameras - it is hers, for example, '150 Milligrams'.
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.
