Why watch this film?
This is Emerald Fennell's second film as a director, who won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for 'Promising Young Woman.' 'Saltburn' follows a young student, Oliver (Barry Keoghan, 'The Banshees of Inisherin'), who feels a deep attraction to a charming and wealthier classmate, Felix (Jacob Elordi, 'Euphoria'), who invites him to spend the summer at Saltburn, the extensive estate of his eccentric family, where he gets caught in a spiral of intrigue. Mixing satire and fantasy – perhaps not as incisive as its predecessor – the film addresses themes of deception and attraction between social classes, and features excellent performances by Keoghan, Elordi, as well as a cast including Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, and Alison Oliver.

Promising Young Woman
Premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 2021. If there is one word that describes 'Promising Young Woman', it is "rage". Rage against the structural misogyny that permeates almost all areas of society and leads to so many fatalities unpunished. Even if it is not the most visually intentional and its script tends to be very indulgent for convenience, this is a morally incisive thriller, supported by a solid editing and, above all, by the wonderful performance of the protagonist Carey Mulligan.
Drama
Raspberries with Mustard
Meeri Ehrlich, 13 years old has three problems. First: She is in love - with the wrong person - and has butterflies in her tummy. Second: Her mother passed away and she misses her a lot. Third: her father - owner of a funeral home - is looking for a new partner. But Meeri has something that is only hers, something very special - she can fly.
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
