Why watch this film?
Based on the homonymous novel by Polish author Blanka Lipińska, '365 dni' (or '365 Days') is the type of movie that seeks to combine romance and erotica. The latter is more than present, since from beginning to end the feature is seasoned with hyper-stylized images of its actors (who are also models) making love in luxurious European locations, from yachts to castles. However, in the same vein as '50 Shades of Grey', it is a story full of two-dimensional and illogical characters that, let's be honest, is not romantic at all, but rather an idealization of toxic relationships and submission as proof of "love".

365 Days: This Day
'365 Days', released in 2020, was a huge success on Netflix and secured a sequel, '365 Days: This Day', also based on the Polish book saga written by Blanka Lipinska. In the first movie, the protagonist Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) is kidnapped by a Sicilian mobster, Massimo (Michele Morrone), and is practically forced to fall in love with him over 365 days. Well, it works out and now they are married. Massimo still has some complicated behaviors, wanting to control his wife, but it doesn't come close to the absurdity of the other film. In an attempt to leave behind the problems of the other movie, the sequel focuses more on the erotic side - bordering on an adult production, as there is almost no plot. There isn't even an effort to tie the story to what was presented in 2020. The narrative basically only gets a hook at the end, leaving room for a third movie. If you liked the first movie, it's worth checking out how Laura and Massimo's relationship is going, especially if the idea is to watch steamy scenes in a production that tries to be a romantic drama.
The Next 365 Days
É o culminar da trilogia Netflix baseada nos romances de Blanka Lipińska.

Claro, este romance adulto é tão polêmico e problemático quanto os dois anteriores, então você só vai gostar se for fã da saga. Clique aqui para ler a crítica completa.

Unclenching the Fists
In a small mining town in North Ossetia, Russia, a young woman feels suffocated by her family, living between rejection and love: a complicated life, to say the least. From there, the young Ada (Milana Aguzarova) begins to plan her long-awaited escape. Directed by Russian Kira Kovalenko, Unclenching the Fists won the main prize in the Certain Look section of the Cannes Film Festival, offering an insightful look into Russian society, mainly with regard to the women of the region.
The Last Film Show
From director Pan Nalin (Samsara), The Last Film Show is a semi-autobiographical film whose premise immediately calls to mind the classic Italian film Cinema Paradiso. The story follows a small rural Indian boy, Samay (Bhavin Rabari), who goes to the cinema for the first time and falls in love with it. Against his father's wishes, he decides to skip school and go back to the cinema again and again, where he becomes friends with the projectionist and learns more about making films. He and his friends decide to try to learn about light to project films, but gradually, Samay realizes that following his dream means leaving behind what he loves. With its nostalgic childlike discovery of something you love for the first time, plus countless references to filmmakers such as Tarkovski and Malick, The Last Film Show is an ode to the act of growing up and learning, with a subtle comment on the alleged accessibility of cinema as an art form for everyone.
Fanfic
According to the dictionary, fanfic is the abbreviation of the English term "fanfiction," which is a fiction created by a reader or viewer who, being a fan of a literary, film, theatrical, television or animation work, creates a continuation to the story or recreates it using their creativity. And that is the heart of the Polish romance Fanfic. Although the movie does not talk about anyone recreating a story, it does tell of two teenagers who come to love each other and need to find a way to express this love to the world, perhaps recreating this story with a lot of creativity. In a polished manner, reminiscent of comic book language, the movie speaks of love in youth with creativity, although it cannot escape those clichés that plague the genre to make it more enjoyable.
