Trailer
Why watch this film?
Following the style of 'God of Carnage', in which the discussion of two couples takes place in a single environment, 'No Other Encounter You' also talks about life encounters, full of ideas, thoughts, conversations and reflections. Here, specifically, Bia (Carol Tilkian) and her brother, Marcelo (Bruno Autran, from the series 'The Business'), meet near the New Year's Eve party at the family's country house that their father decided to sell after their mother's death. Also staying there is the couple of friends, Michele and Rodrigo (Julia Ianina, from 'Carandiru', and Geraldo Rodrigues, from 'Linha de Passe'). While they wait for the end of the year, the quartet rethinks their present moments, and the tension begins to worsen between them. With good ideas and provocations from director André Bushatsky ('Brasileiríssima'), the feature film brings a minimalist production, with few sets and characters, to talk about various topics and, with that, reflect on the pains and anxieties of contemporary life.

Brasileiríssima
What is the importance of telenovelas in Brazilian culture and even in people's lives around the world? This is the question that 'Brasileiríssima' tries to answer. Directed by André Bushatsky ('No Outro Encontro Você'), the feature film certainly moves fans of telenovelas. After all, despite some directorial errors such as the beginning that follows the conventional timeline format and inexplicable testimonies, such as Tadeu Schmidt's, the feature film mainly succeeds in bringing historical images of Brazilian telenovelas, rummaging through the attic, as well as the single testimonies of ordinary people from Brazil and the world, talking about how telenovelas changed their lives. There are good stories here, especially from the young Portuguese visually impaired. It's hard not to be moved, either by the memories of telenovelas or by the good stories told.
Drama
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
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.
Baby
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
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
