Trailer
Why watch this film?
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.

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.
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.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
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.
