The Image Book (2019)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
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.

Nothing but silence. Nothing but a revolutionary song. A story in five chapters like the five fingers of a hand.

Goodbye To Language
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.

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story
Adult entertainment, especially in the internet age, is a topic that inevitably becomes complicated when ethics, freedom of expression, commercial interests... and crime are mixed. And of course, no name is bigger in this industry than Pornhub, the site not only the biggest in its field, but on the entire internet. Money Shot: The Pornhub Story is a Netflix exclusive documentary that attempts to unravel this complicated web: on one side, the lack of legislation and protection for consensual sex work; on the other, the accusations that the site hosted illegal content and even facilitated sex trafficking, while executives looked the other way. These are too complex topics and the documentary fails to shed enough light on either of its two narratives, but at least manages to bring them to the table and present interesting arguments.
The Elephant Whisperers
An elephant calf becomes orphaned, and a couple from southern India dedicate themselves to caring for it. That is the simple premise of 'The Elephant Whisperers', a beautiful short documentary film exclusive to Netflix. However, in this simplicity lies a lot of beauty and strength in its brief duration, portraying the purity of animals and the power of their bonds with humans. After watching it, you too will feel compelled to dedicate your life to the protection of elephants.
