Jackie
Natalie Portman's incredible performance as Jacqueline Kennedy brings both sides of the former First Lady to the big screen: the serene, well-mannered and glamorous woman from Washington; and the strong, determined woman who makes it clear without raising her voice that she can do anything for her family. Special mention also goes to the art direction and the almost exact recreation of Dallas and the White House in November 1963. Recommended for fans of good acting or historical reconstruction.
The Club
A psychological and complex criticism of the Church and its cases of pedophilia. The feature does not lose the impact of the subject it deals with, but even more so: it is complex and even scares us with its revelations. An excellent movie for denouncing.
Tony Manero
Chilean Pablo Larraín's movie, a highlight at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. An captivating production about the story of a man, during Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship, obsessed with John Travolta's character Tony Manero from 'Saturday Night Fever'.
Ema
From Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín (director of 'Jackie', 'Neruda' and 'No'), 'Ema' is a powerful drama both visually and narratively. Screened at the 2019 Venice Film Festival, it is a film that tackles such diverse themes as female sexual liberation, the creative spirit of the arts, trauma, as well as contemporary family schemes, often far removed from the idea of children and marriage. Alongside Mexican Gael García Bernal, one of Larraín's recurring collaborators, Chilean actress Mariana Di Girolamo achieves a delicate yet impressive balance between composure and desperation in her performance, which you won't soon forget.
Neruda
Forget about the usual biopics. ‘Neruda’ deconstructs the traditional format, foregoing the mission to portray each moment of Pablo Neruda’s career to dive into a point that is defining of the poet’s personality: the persecution by the Chilean government. The result is a clash between the author’s lyricism and the darkness of those times. A movie for cinema lovers, literature buffs, or for those who enjoy great political and fight stories.
Homemade
Cinematographers around the world are showing their perspectives on social isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic. Curated by Chilean director Pablo Larraín (‘Jackie’, ‘No’, and ‘The Club’), and his brother Juan de Dios Larraín, we follow 17 shorts with different views on this difficult period. Big names in cinema such as Paolo Sorrentino, Sebastián Lelio, Ladj Ly, Kristen Stewart, and Maggie Gyllenhaal are participating in the project. It's amazing to see how creativity can still stand out even if it's done from home or just showing their unhappy children with the new routine. It's an interesting idea from Netflix, which divided each short into an episode like a series; and from the Larraín brothers, showing that to make a movie you don't need big locations or even leave your residence.
Spencer
As director Pablo Larraín ("Jackie") defines it: "Spencer" is not a biopic, but rather a fable based on real events - literally in this case, since we are talking about royalty. Unlike the 2013 feature "Diana" starring Naomi Watts, here we get to know a playful story about a part of Princess Diana's life - impeccably portrayed by Kristen Stewart. As in Larraín's other works, "Spencer" is a delicate and slow film that focuses heavily on scene compositions creating an impeccable cinematography. The director brought out a side of Diana that goes beyond what has been seen of her before, emphasizing her psychological side and how her relationship with the Royal Family was troubled. This caused several problems with her health. As the story develops around Diana, all eyes turn to Kristen Stewart. The actress delivers one of her best performances, if not the best of her career.
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.
