Why watch this film?
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.

Little Joe
Starring Emily Beecham ('Cruella'), Ben Whishaw ('Paddington') and Kit Connor, ('Rocketman'), 'Little Joe: la flor de la felicidad' is an unsettling mix of horror, drama, science fiction and fantasy. Alice and her team create a genetically modified plant that disperses its seeds and seems to cause strange changes in living beings. Little by little they discover that the plant is not as harmless and beneficial as they thought, and it ends up becoming a threat to its owners. Of outstanding rareness, the terror it proposes has to do with our inability to understand our different and varied emotions, and with that goal so perverse as to be happy at all costs. A kind of thoughtless and burden-free happiness. This movie competed for the Palme d'Or at Cannes and its director, Jessica Hausner ('Amour Fou'), proposes an intelligent and disturbing analysis about motherhood, materialism, contemporary anxiety and the dangers of science. A fresh (and very hygienic) look at horror and science fiction.
Comedy

Prom Dates
Jess and Hannah, who made a pact at 13 to have the perfect senior prom.

But with only 24 hours left before the big event, everything falls apart when they break up with each of their dates. Jess and Hannah are left with one night to find new dates and live out their middle-school fantasies.
Unfrosted
Unfrosted follows the path of films exploring the creation of iconic products, akin to Air and The Beanie Bubble. Here, however, director and protagonist Jerry Seinfeld tells the story of Pop-Tarts, a treat born during a time when milk and cereal ruled breakfast. Entertaining, albeit following the basics of this storytelling style, the film unveils a little-known and genuinely funny tale.
