Trailer
Why watch this film?
Although the relationship between the characters of Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer has been problematized by their age difference and a possible issue of abuse of authority, ‘Call Me By Your Name’ is one of the most celebrated LGBT-themed films of recent times. Based on André Aciman's homonymous novel, the feature brings a strong sensitivity about a young man discovering his sexuality and falling in love with this older man, during the summer of the 1980s in Italy. It's an intense, passionate movie, and, especially, with a strong emotional charge - highlight, in this point, for the celebrated monologue of the father, played by Michael Stuhlbarg.

From the same director
Suspiria
Remake of the Italian movie of the same name, originally released in 1977. Directed by Luca Guadagnino (of ‘Call Me By Your Name’), it explores the themes addressed by the story grandly and challengingly but flirting with the bizarre at times, resulting in a final product that may not be for everyone's taste. The fact is, the mix of art (through dance) and supernatural horror remains intriguing, made even more fleshy by a cast that includes names such as Chloë Grace Moretz (‘Kick-Ass’), Tilda Swinton (‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’) and Dakota Johnson (’Fifty Shades of Grey’). Even if it is confusing, ‘Suspiria’ should still please fans of more artistic horror.
Bones and All
A violent and repulsive horror story can be, at the same time, a love story? Director Luca Guadagnino is back to propose this possibility with 'Bones and All', which successfully mixes the bloody horror of his movie 'Suspiria' with the tender sensuality of 'Call Me by Your Name', presenting with total authenticity and credibility a story about two young lovers who succumb to their cannibalistic instincts. The genre mix may be a bit shocking for some, but it is a well-crafted experiment by Guadagnino (winner of the Silver Lion of Venice for Best Director) that reaches both while resonating with its deep metaphor of youth alienation.
Drama
Totem
When it comes to personal pain, Mexican cinema tends to lean too much towards exaggerated melodrama, or towards the most mediocre miserabilism. With Totem, Mexican filmmaker Lila Avilés (awarded at the Morelia Film Festival for both this film and The Chambermaid) reminds us that there is another path: one of understanding, acceptance, and feeling. This is precisely what she invites us to do through the story of Sol (Naíma Sentíes), a little girl who gathers with her family to celebrate her father's birthday (Mateo García), who is too ill to attend the party. With great scriptwriting and a camera that is both furtive and complicit, Avilés' gaze infiltrates the bittersweet intimacy of a family united by imminent pain, gradually revealing, with compassion, the ways in which each person faces it.
Toll
Suellen, a toll booth attendant, uses her job to help a gang of thieves steal watches so that she can afford to send her son to a gay conversion workshop.
Hard Days
Between Christmas and New Year's Eve, on December 29th, detective Yuji Kudo drives his car to visit his mother, who is hospitalized with a serious health problem. On the way, he receives a call from the commissioner inquiring about his involvement in the creation of a secret fund, just as he learns that his mother has passed away. Yuji then accidentally hits a man with his car, who dies instantly. It's at this point that the protagonist, in the hospital, tries to cover up the death of the man he ran over by placing his corpse in his mother's coffin. Hard Days, an unlikely Japanese dramatic thriller, depicts the consequences of Yuji's decision, as he grapples with a series of mistakes stemming from his bizarre choices while under investigation. With a strange and tense, yet emotional atmosphere, the feature showcases the skill of filmmaker Michihito Fujii, who knows how to blend genres in a film full of improbabilities but true.
Monster
With films like Shoplifters and Broker (among many others), Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda is a master at telling stories of complex morality, where the truth is never simple, and answers navigate through all shades of gray. Monster is another great demonstration of this (the film won Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival 2023). Its plot begins with a mother concerned about her son's strange recent behavior, and after investigating, she begins to fear that he is being abused by a school teacher. However, as the plot unfolds, we witness all the elements that complicate and entangle the truth hidden behind. Monster is the kind of film that deeply moves and invites reflection on the ways we relate to—and judge—those around us.
