The Green Mile
Based on the book by Stephen King (author of other great works, such as 'It'), 'The Green Mile' is one of the great films from the late 1990s. This feature, with elements of magical realism, brings to life the relationship between a prison guard (Tom Hanks, always great) and a death row inmate (Michael Clarke Duncan, in the role of his life) who has powers beyond human imagination. Thus, an emotional, engaging, powerful and transformative story unfolds. The direction is by Frank Darabont, who also signed another acclaimed adaptation of King's work, 'The Shawshank Redemption'. Despite its long duration (more than three hours), every second is worth it.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
