Why watch this film?
The Blackberry phone became a milestone not only for the technology market but for the entire creative and innovation economy. After all, it was the world's first smartphone and was part of the routine of major businessmen. However, things didn't go as expected: despite its meteoric success, the company behind the device soon went into decline. And that's precisely what the film "Blackberry," directed by Matt Johnson, aims to tell: the beginning, the middle, and the end of this story full of ups and downs. With a style reminiscent of "The Big Short," the feature film sheds light on the inner workings of the company with levity and humor, although it is slightly less thrilling than this other film about the 2008 crisis.

Operation Avalanche
Just like the fun 'Moonwalkers: Rumo à Lua', the fun 'Operation Avalanche' also talks about the conspiracy theory that claims the man's landing on the Moon is a total hoax. Here, director Matt Johnson tells the story of two CIA agents who, by accident, discover the Americans' plans to fake the trip to the Moon. From then on, they get into an avalanche of theories, bizarre moments and small details that seem to prove such theory. The funniest thing is that the filmmaker - who also acts in the movie - used a real guerrilla strategy to make the film. First, he lied to NASA, saying he was making a documentary about Apollo 11. Only then did he get permission to film inside the agency. Inside, most of the scenes were improvised and relied on the filmmaker's own theories. Oh, and do you know the worn-out atmosphere of the movie? The director, who shot the feature film in digital format, scratched the film on the ground. Thus, 'Operation Avalanche' ended up getting the grainy look. Bizarre.
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.
