Trailer
Why watch this film?
Pré-indicado da Hungria ao Oscar 2020, 'Akik maradtak' tenta dar uma visão diferenciada sobre o Holocausto. Para isso, o diretor Barnabás Tóth, com vasta experiência em curtas, se vale de uma direção emocional para fazer o público se envolver com Aldo e Klara, dois personagens que perderam emocionalmente na Segunda Guerra e que encontram um no outro conforto para tempos tão difíceis e sofridos. É algo parecido com o que Christian Petzold faz em 'Em Trânsito', no qual personagens sem parentesco se juntam para combater a solidão e completar o vazio que a guerra deixa. Em cima disso, Tóth assume uma direção firme e com estilo, fazendo com que os tons sombrios da narrativa ajudem a formar o sentimento do público com aqueles personagens. Uma pena, porém, que o roteiro seja tão previsível. Um pouco menos de simplicidade poderia tornar 'Akik maradtak' um dos filmes mais interessantes do ano. Ainda assim, porém, é uma boa opção para aqueles que buscam olhares diferenciados sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

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.
