Trailer
Why watch this film?
Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of the same name, 'The Great Gatsby' brings together Leonardo DiCaprio with Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann ('Romeo + Juliet'), so if you are familiar with the work of the director of 'Moulin Rouge, Love in Red' you'll know what to expect from this adaptation. While Fitzgerald's masterpiece is a pessimistic portrait of the twenties and the "American Dream," Luhrmann's film sets aside that depth in favor of visual spectacle...but what a spectacle it is! With frantic editing, the dances, parties and extravagance of the golden twenties are mixed with an impressive contemporary soundtrack of music performed and composed by artists like Beyoncé, Lana del Rey, Florence + The Machine, will.i.am, Jack White, Sia, Jay Z and more. The icing on the cake is DiCaprio's acting duo with Carey Mulligan ('Drive, the Escape').

Elvis
Elvis Presley is one of the most well-known names in world music, still with a legion of fans - and generating a lot of revenue - decades after his death. But how was the young man from Memphis, Tennessee, elevated to the status of King of Rock? The biopic "Elvis" traces exactly this path, showing how black music influenced the musician, the discovery of his style, the furor (for good and for bad) that he caused in society and his countless phases. The thread of the narrative is the singer's manager, "Colonel" Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), who propelled Elvis to stardom - and who, for many, is to blame for his death. From there begins a real event movie, including an accelerated edition and a sometimes stylized visual. All to give stage to Austin Butler, who plays the star in a masterful way, making us really believe that Elvis did not die - even when he sings. Although long (2h39 of duration), the production addresses practically all the relevant facts of Presley's career and personal life, which will certainly leave fans extremely satisfied.
Drama
Totem
When it comes to personal pain, Mexican cinema tends to lean too much towards exaggerated melodrama, or towards the most mediocre miserabilism. With Totem, Mexican filmmaker Lila Avilés (awarded at the Morelia Film Festival for both this film and The Chambermaid) reminds us that there is another path: one of understanding, acceptance, and feeling. This is precisely what she invites us to do through the story of Sol (Naíma Sentíes), a little girl who gathers with her family to celebrate her father's birthday (Mateo García), who is too ill to attend the party. With great scriptwriting and a camera that is both furtive and complicit, Avilés' gaze infiltrates the bittersweet intimacy of a family united by imminent pain, gradually revealing, with compassion, the ways in which each person faces it.
Toll
Suellen, a toll booth attendant, uses her job to help a gang of thieves steal watches so that she can afford to send her son to a gay conversion workshop.
Hard Days
Between Christmas and New Year's Eve, on December 29th, detective Yuji Kudo drives his car to visit his mother, who is hospitalized with a serious health problem. On the way, he receives a call from the commissioner inquiring about his involvement in the creation of a secret fund, just as he learns that his mother has passed away. Yuji then accidentally hits a man with his car, who dies instantly. It's at this point that the protagonist, in the hospital, tries to cover up the death of the man he ran over by placing his corpse in his mother's coffin. Hard Days, an unlikely Japanese dramatic thriller, depicts the consequences of Yuji's decision, as he grapples with a series of mistakes stemming from his bizarre choices while under investigation. With a strange and tense, yet emotional atmosphere, the feature showcases the skill of filmmaker Michihito Fujii, who knows how to blend genres in a film full of improbabilities but true.
Monster
With films like Shoplifters and Broker (among many others), Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda is a master at telling stories of complex morality, where the truth is never simple, and answers navigate through all shades of gray. Monster is another great demonstration of this (the film won Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival 2023). Its plot begins with a mother concerned about her son's strange recent behavior, and after investigating, she begins to fear that he is being abused by a school teacher. However, as the plot unfolds, we witness all the elements that complicate and entangle the truth hidden behind. Monster is the kind of film that deeply moves and invites reflection on the ways we relate to—and judge—those around us.
