Junglee
The hunting market is a global problem and there are several movies that talk about it. In a slightly more childish and playful way, there is the simple 'The Girl and the Lion'. For those who want something more brutal and painful, there is Ulrich Seidl's disturbing documentary, 'Safari'. And mixing these two ways of treating the same theme, there is 'Junglee: Protecting the Jungle'. In this Indian production directed by Chuck Russell, of 'The Mask' and 'The Killer Bubble', we are invited to enter the life of a veterinarian who, upon returning to his father's elephant reserve, finds and fights against an international network of poachers. It is a film with some serious production problems, much due to the lack of tone and strange environment, perhaps the result of a low budget. However, in general, Russell manages to get out of this somewhat bizarre cinema and embrace a loving and very emotional tone. It's not perfect, but you can be moved and have fun with the adventure that the filmmaker so well commands. A strange movie, of course. But worth the fun.
Action
Furies
An exclusive Vietnamese action and revenge thriller on Netflix that thematically will remind you of "Promising Young Woman", but in action and style it is more reminiscent of "John Wick" and "Kill Bill". Although it is not as refined (or interesting) as its references, "Furies" will leave genre fans satisfied. The plot is somewhat scant: three furious and violent female vigilantes join forces to take down a sinister mafia that has made them victims. There is more substance in the action sequences than in its premise, but if you're looking for something visually impactful and entertaining, you'll like it.
Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village
After his family is viciously murdered, a kind-hearted boy named Tanjiro Kamado resolves to become a Demon Slayer in hopes of turning his younger sister Nezuko back into a human. Together with his comrades, Zenitsu and Inosuke, along with one of the top-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro embarks on a mission within the Entertainment District, where they encounter the formidable, high-ranking demons, Daki and Gyutaro.
