Trailer
Why watch this film?
An interesting and melancholic portrait about the mortality of life directed by newcomer John Carroll Lynch, whom you may recognize from his roles in such productions as 'American Horror Story' and 'Fargo'. Experienced in front of the camera, Lynch manages to undertake his own style behind it, blending elements of filmmakers he has worked with (a list that includes names like Martin Scorsese and the Coen Brothers). Besides the presence of David Lynch acting, another great highlight of 'Lucky' is that this was the last movie of the great actor Harry Dean Staton, known for movies such as 'Alien: The Eighth Passenger' and 'Paris, Texas'. Here already at 91 years old, Staton delivers a performance worthy of the farewell he deserves, precisely in a character who suffers from advanced age and the shadow of death.

Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
