Trailer
Why watch this film?
This movie, originally released in 1997, was directed by French filmmaker Jean-François Richet (who later signed long films such as 'Public Enemy No. 1' or 'Assault on the 13th District'). Outside of France, 'Meu Bairro Vai Rachar' (or 'Ma 6-T va crack-er', its original title) is cult for releasing a contagious energy of rebellion and even a strong political position regarding social and economic inequality, as well as revolt against authority - something for which the French are quite recognized.

One Wild Moment
"A Moment of Weakness" is a remake of "Un moment d'égarement", a 1977 film. Although the premise may be uncomfortable for some, it comes with the guarantee of Vincent Cassel and François Cluzet, two of France's greatest current actors, who demonstrate a brilliant sense of humor in this movie.
Blood Father
Starring Mel Gibson, Diego Luna, Erin Moriarty and William H. Macy. An action movie that was featured at the Cannes Festival and deserves to be seen. After all, seeing Mel Gibson back in action doing what he does best: being a cynical tough guy and saving his daughter from a drug cartel. The plot doesn't have great moments, nor is it inventive - it ends up being more like 'Taken' than it seems at first glance. However, it's almost impossible not to be mesmerized by the action and violence sequences, which keep the tone of the movie high all the time. For some fun and to dive into this action universe, watch 'Blood Father'.
The Emperor of Paris
Vincent Cassel (from 'Black Swan' and practically an honorary Brazilian) is the star of an interesting film set during the Napoleonic Wars. Like that historical period, the movie is a mess, full of blood and action scenes. Even though the script isn't the strong point, the production engages us with its beautiful period reconstruction (including gorgeous sets and locations) and, of course, Cassel's performance.
Plane
We can almost say that Gerard Butler is a genre of its own: the type of actor classified in the same type of action movies with plots that border on the absurd, but are very successful. 'Plane' is a good example of this: the plot sees Butler as a pilot who saves his passengers from a forced landing, but that's just the beginning of an odyssey involving rebels, kidnappings and a mysterious ally (Mike Colter). A critical situation, frantic action and not much logic. In other words, more of the same. If you like traditional action movies or Butler films like 'Invasion to the Secret Service' or 'Final Destruction', you will like it. If you are looking for something more meaningful, it's better to move on.
Drama
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.
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
