Why watch this film?
'Les choses humaines' is based on Karine Tuil's 2019 novel of the same name and premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. Director Yvan Attal takes on the task of adapting this story which brings the theme of rape to both cinema and literature. Outstanding performances, especially from Charlotte Gainsbourg. Despite having a male director, the film has great layers, in addition to the weight of the human dimension, as we follow the story of a boy who is accused of raping a girl. The plot explores and questions what consent is and how fluid and tortuous this concept can be. The ending does not provide a solid answer, which is even more intriguing, providing material for even greater reflection.

My Dog Stupid
A dramedy about how animals can be better companions than people. 'Mon chien Stupide' shows the greatness of canine friendships and also the need for connection between humans. The movie draws a parallel between marriage and pet ownership, although they are completely different in theory, in practice they are similar - often we deal with elephants in the room in relationships and others, with a giant dog taking up your bed.
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.
