Marriage Story (2019)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Director Noah Baumbach (of 'Frances Ha') has dedicated himself to films that deal with the intimacy of families with deep upheavals in their structures - and 'Marriage Story' is considered, so far, his best and most moving movie. From a deeply personal point of view, Baumbach manages a script that is as painful as it is compassionate, brought to life by the performances of Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson (which will surely break your heart). The film competed for the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was the runner-up in the audience award at the Toronto Film Festival.

While We’re Young
A comedy with great dialogue and a great cast. Furthermore, it brings good ideas by putting an up-to-date middle-aged couple face to face with two young ones that are completely anachronistic and analogic.
Frances Ha
Although he is responsible for titles such as 'Marriage Story' and 'The Squid and the Whale', filmmaker Noah Baumbach fell into popular taste due to the delicious dramedy 'Frances Ha'. Starring his wife, the great actress and director Greta Gerwig (who would go on to direct the excellent 'Lady Bird' and 'Little Women'), the production hits the mark by emulating the atmosphere of French cinema from the 1970s when talking about this misfit character, always in shock with her reality. The option to put the whole movie in black and white enhances this proximity of the film to cinemas of other times, further enhancing Baumbach's excellent work as a director. To watch, review and fall in love with the protagonist's misfortunes.
White Noise
After the dramatic and explosive intensity of 'Marriage Story', Noah Baumbach returns to the themes that are dear to him (routine, family, mismatches) in 'White Noise'. With a script signed by the filmmaker himself, the feature film dramatizes the attempts of a contemporary American family to face the conflicts of everyday life while dealing with the universal mysteries of love, death and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world. Starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, the movie shows how everyday life can be transformed from different interactions with the world around and, mainly, from the different perspectives of people about life.
Drama
Blue Jean
England, 1988 - Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government is about to pass a law stigmatizing gays and lesbians, forcing Jean, a gym teacher, to live a double life. As pressure mounts from all sides, the arrival of a new girl at school catalyses a crisis that will challenge Jean to her core.
Boston Strangler
In the 1960s, the American city of Boston began to suffer from a series of mysterious murders, in which elderly women were violently killed with nylon stockings tied around their necks. In the investigations of the crimes, two names stood out: journalists Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley) and Jean Cole (Carrie Coon). While the police remained inactive, the two broke down prejudices and became the first to uncover links between the crimes and to show them on the newspaper's front page. This is the story of 'The Boston Strangler', a drama with suspenseful touches, originally from Star+ that follows the behind-the-scenes of this journalistic investigation. In addition to talking a lot about the crime itself and how it actually represented violence against women, the film directed and written by Matt Ruskin (Crown Heights) exalts these two women and shows how difficult and important it is to be so ahead of their time.
Chang Can Dunk
Chang is a 16-year-old, Asian American high school student in the marching band, who bets the school basketball star that he can dunk by Homecoming. The bet leads the 5’ 8" Chang on a quest to find the hops he needs to dunk in order to impress his crush, Kristy, and finally gain the attention and respect of his high school peers. But before he can rise up and truly throw one down, he’ll have to reexamine everything he knows about himself, his friendships and his family.
