Trailer
Why watch this film?
One of the great movies of the 1980s, balancing fun with drama (of a man unable to work) and romance. The end result is entertaining and it even earned Jessica Lange an Oscar for Best Actress.

Out of Africa
Winner of seven Oscars, with an incredible photography of Africa, unforgettable soundtrack by John Barry and even more memorable performances by Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. The story of a philanthropist who travels to the heart of Africa in 1914, with the aim of helping the Kenyan population, is quite cliché and treated with certain prejudice - fruit of a colonizing vision of the time it was filmed, in the 1980s. However, the beauty and delicacy of the romance that arises between the characters of Streep and Redford help make the movie stand out compared to other nonsense of the kind. Special mention for the firm direction of Sydney Pollack, firm in his convictions.
Absence of Malice
Great movie by director Sydney Pollack, showing some of the behind-the-scenes of journalism in the 1970s and 1980s - and still very relevant to today's world. One of the best performances by Paul Newman.
Amazing Grace
Without a doubt, Aretha Franklin was one of the great names of American music and even worldwide, traversing between musical genres such as Soul, R&B, pop, gospel and dance - not to mention her importance in the fight for civil rights for blacks. That is why it is a true gift to find something still unpublished by the singer, and that is exactly what we have in 'Amazing Grace'. The film is the record of an Aretha show held in 1972, when she recorded the album 'Amazing Grace'. Originally directed by Sydney Pollack (from 'Tootsie' and 'Absence of Malice'), the concert was not released at the time due to audio synchronization problems with the images. This was only recently resolved, resulting in a historically impeccable and musically impeccable account of the star, who died in 2018 at the age of 76.
Comedy
Psychic by Accident
In the plot, at the age of 40, architect Ulisses (Otaviano Costa), skeptical of his career and unsure of his talents, visits a “vocational coach” who promises to find people’s true vocation. After drinking suspicious tea offered by the professional in her crazy ritual, Ulisses blacks out and has his belongings stolen. But mysteriously he leaves there with a strange power: discovering, with just a touch, people's true vocation.
Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie
Monk steps out of retirement as his stepdaughter’s wedding turns tragic when her fiancé dies in a bungee jumping accident.
Descendants: The Rise of Red
The daughters of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella travel back in time to prevent a coup in Auradon.
Kinds of Kindness
A triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
