Why watch this film?
A romantic comedy with a cast of actors of Chinese origin and some narrative elements drawn from the culture of the Asian country. However, beyond that, it falls within the conventional. "Five Blind Dates" is the story of Lia (Shuang Hu), a woman who has focused more on the success of her store than on romance. However, when a fortune teller tells her that she will have to go on five romantic dates to save her business, she decides to open up. Each date will bring a different character and, with it, very crazy and funny situations. If you enjoy seeing that in romantic comedies, "Five Blind Dates" will be a guaranteed hit for you.

Storm Boy
Movies about friendship between animals and children are a common sight in cinemas. 'Beethoven', 'The Little Stuart Little' and 'Free Willy' are just some good examples of this type of movie. However, despite being a somewhat saturated formula, what a pleasant surprise is the moving 'Storm Boy'. Directed by Shawn Seet (from the series 'The Code'), the feature film tells the story of a businessman (Geoffrey Rush, as always very well) who begins to remember his past and his childhood. As a focus, however, enters his story with a rescued pelican that became his frequent companion. It is a tearful movie, with a story known to all, but which will surely please those who seek light plots, and still moving, to shed some tears and leave the spirit lighter. Highlight for Rush ('The Best Shot') and for the little Finn Little (from 'Tidelands'), who knows how to move in the right measure.
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.
