The Last Man
Think of 'Taxi Driver': an alienated man with disturbing ideas about the decadence of society, who decides to isolate himself and train to face it (also add the narration that illustrates the protagonist's thoughts, plus a performance by Harvey Keitel). Translate that to a futuristic world on the brink of apocalypse, and the result is 'The Last Man' (‘The Last Man’), the story of a war veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder (Hayden Christensen from 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith') who firmly believes the end of the world is near, so he decides to build an underground shelter and prepare to withstand extreme conditions. It's an interesting idea executed with a modest budget, and even if the result feels a bit generic, there are good performances by Christensen and Keitel, so those who enjoy a generous dose of seriousness and violence in their entertainment will be able to enjoy it.

The Woman of Stars and Mountains
Rita Patiño, an indigenous woman from Mexico, was found by a human rights organization inside a Kansas psychiatric hospital, where she had been involuntarily confined, for 12 years, despite the fact that the hospital authorities were never able to determine who was this woman, where did she come from, or what language she spoke. After the consequences of confinement and medical negligence, Rita returned to Mexico, where she lives with Juanita, her niece, and primary caregiver, in a context of precarious economic possibilities. A moving portrait of the lives of these two Tarahumara women, questioning the multiple forms of racism and discrimination that indigenous women in Mexico and the United States face.
