Why watch this film?
If you've ever thought that 'Romeo and Juliet' is a very stupid story, you'd get along great with the creative team behind this movie. 'Rosaline' is a retelling of Shakespeare's classic directed by Karen Maine (of the great 'Yes, God, Yes') that mocks all the precepts of romantic love that have been created and universally immortalized by literary tragedy - and even replicated by typical romantic comedies of our day. The movie doesn't always hit the mark and sometimes even contradicts itself. Nevertheless, Maine's direction is efficient and the cast will make you laugh out loud, with special mention to the always excellent Kaitlyn Dever ('Booksmart') as Rosaline and Isabela Merced ('Dora and the Lost City') as Juliet.

Yes, God, Yes
One of the coolest and most sincere films of 2020, 'Yes, God, Yes' already provokes with its title. After all, the 78-minute feature hits the mark when it tells the story of a girl who is discovering her sexuality. However, the place for this apparently could not be worse: a religious retreat for teenagers. Little by little, however, debut director and screenwriter Karen Maine adds small tasty lines to the plot, showing how sexuality ends up affecting everyone, at different levels and intensities. Highlight for the protagonist Natalia Dyer ('Stranger Things'), who faces this so typical role of American independent cinema with naturalness.
Comedy
A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.
Club Zero
Club Zero is a film with a risky proposition: to understand how young people, especially those of Generation Z, dive headfirst into new trends to feel like they belong to something. But at what cost? That's what this complicated film by Jessica Hausner (Little Joe) seeks to understand. Complicated, not because it has any complexity, but because it tackles a thorny issue (this particular behavior) and further complicates it by addressing eating disorders, with young people stopping eating for the sake of a better world. With not much material to discuss, the film ends up going in circles and dangerously falling into emptiness. However, Hausner still manages to find some space to reflect on where the world is heading and, above all, where this dangerous herd behavior is taking us — something that, ultimately, the film itself ends up embracing by adhering to trends reminiscent of Wes Anderson's style and Greek cinema aesthetics.
Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
