Why watch this film?
At 84 years old, the renowned director Jean-Luc Godard - famous for the La Nouvelle Vague movement of the 1960s - continues to be highly experimental, playing with language in this film that won the Grand Prix de Cannes in 2014, tied with the feature 'Mommy'. Recommended for those in search of something enigmatic, experimental and different from what they're used to.

The Image Book
The director Jean-Luc Godard is one of the great names in world cinema, mainly due to the work produced during the explosion of the Nouvelle Vague. Still active, the Franco-Swiss today produces less than in his golden days, but still seeks a look of innovation within his works. 'Le livre d'image' goes exactly in this direction, in a story told in five parts (like the number of fingers on a hand), which brings together different expressions of art to point to a single problem: the inefficiency of cinema as a weapon of protest and denouncement against the great atrocities of humanity. It is not for everyone, nor for any moment. Prepare your spirit well before watching - even so, watch it. It is a necessary reflection. It should be noted that, at the request of the director himself and by artistic choice, not all of the movie's dialogues are translated in the subtitles. The intention is precisely to interfere with the viewer's perception.
Breathless
The history of cinema cannot be understood without the French New Wave of the mid-20th century, and 'Breathless' - the legendary Jean-Luc Godard's debut feature - is one of its earliest box office representatives. This movie, like many of its contemporaries, challenged the traditional way of making films at that time, experimenting with editing, hand-held camera and location shooting with natural light, to name just a few of its innovations for the time. An essential work of art in the repertoire of any cinephile, it will stay in your memory for its charismatic Jean-Paul Belmondo and captivating Jean Seberg.
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.
