The Leisure Seeker
A delicate movie that speaks about pain and strong emotions. The main characters Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland deliver amazing and extremely touching performances. Mirren was even nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in this movie. Although predictable, it's a very sensitive movie and recommended for those who like captivating stories!
Magical Nights
The Italian cinema has already produced cinematic gems such as 'La Dolce Vita', 'Cinema Paradiso' and 'The Bicycle Thieves'. In 'Notti Magiche', the new film by director Paolo Virzì (from the interesting 'La Prima Cosa Bella'), there is a celebration of this past cinema and its classics. With a trio of slightly detestable characters who travel through the Italian cinema's backstage, it is possible to revive some of the magic and surprises that this art left in a distant time -- an experience similar to what 'Midnight in Paris' or 'Dilili in Paris' proposed, for example. Of course, those who have some admiration for classic Italian cinema and those who like to travel in these backstages that populate the imagination of cinephiles around the world will embark on the idea. Those who do not fit into either group should be bored, mainly due to the lack of empathy of the protagonists.
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.
