The Father
The most powerful movie of the awards season, nominated for both the Oscar and the Golden Globe, 'The Father' does not follow the basic formula of stories about Alzheimer's Disease - such as 'Simply Alice' and 'Ella & John'. Directed, written and based on Florian Zeller's play, the feature film follows the routine of an elderly man (Anthony Hopkins) who is beginning to have his memory affected by the degenerative disease. In the middle of this, the protagonist's daughter (Olivia Colman from 'The Favourite') enters, who must deal with this new unstable moment of her father. It is a smart and daring film, which plays with temporality and the notion of things around. We do not see the degeneration of this man's memory from afar, as if it were a zoo. Quite the contrary. Zeller, with a clever and original script, puts the viewer in the mind of this man, with all his confusions and weaknesses. Hopkins ('The Silence of the Lambs') is spectacular, in one of his best performances in two decades. He swallows the movie, takes it for himself and gains ownership. It's hard not to shed a few tears. Great movie.
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
