Why watch this film?
It seems like a simple movie, but it's full of poetry and much more complex than we can imagine. A journey in search of love and understanding - based on the playful and dreams. 'Corpo e Alma' has a slow pace, almost as if it was building what the characters are passing to the viewer. Literally, speaking of body and soul, we detach from logic when watching this production.

The Story of My Wife
Jacob Stör (Gijs Naber), a Navy captain, makes a bet with a friend: he will marry the first woman who walks into the cafe where they are. That woman turns out to be Lizzy (Léa Seydoux). Suspicions of infidelity and Lizzy's obvious attraction to Dedin threaten to drive the captain mad – creating a story in which this man is adept at his work, but not so adroit at navigating this relationship's back-and-forths. This is the plot of The Story of My Wife, from acclaimed Hungarian director Ildikó Enyedi, which brings all the necessary elements – love, loss, and madness – to a grand yet tragic romance. Adapted from the book of the same name by Hungarian poet Milán Füst, the feature should please those who enjoy stories that speak volumes between the lines, yet may disappoint viewers hoping for more life in the story.
Drama

Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
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.
