Drama
Great Sertão
Driven by fierce action, dynamic intensity, and unique language this epic thriller reinvents the 1965 classic film adaptation of the 1956 novel “Grande sertão: veredas” by João Guimarães Rosa. In the concrete jungles of lawless futuristic Brazil, enemies spout slam poetry in duels as their movements remind us of parkour. The adrenaline rush breaks into three timelines: the past introduces teenager Riobaldo and handsome Diadorim, the present depicts a bloody clash and reveals sexual identities, and the future exposes Riobaldo’s deal with the devil.
Adolfo
Adolfo, the debut feature film by Mexican director Sofía Auza, tells the eccentric story that unfolds from the unexpected encounter of Momo (Rocío de la Mañana), Hugo (I'm No Longer Here's Juan Daniel García Treviño), and the cactus he carries, nicknamed "Adolfo". It is a brief and modest film that invites us to embrace the beauty of spontaneity and chance as a way to heal life's wounds. Its aesthetic is reminiscent of Wes Anderson's eccentricity in a frivolous way, and its story is not very deep. However, it is tender in its idiosyncrasy.
The Perfect Wave
Young surfer Ian (Scott Eastwood of TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE) yearns for adventure. Traveling through Australia, Southeast Asia, and Africa, he meets Annabel (Rachel Hendrix of OCTOBER BABY) and follows her to an island paradise. But one night a diving accident leaves him fighting for his life, and he's forced to choose between the truth of life and permanent death. This inspiring true story is appropriate for the whole family and costars Patrick Lyster (TV’s BLACK SAILS) and Cheryl Ladd (TV’s CHARLIE’S ANGELS, TV's LAS VEGAS).
Ordinary Angels
Based on a remarkable true story, Ordinary Angels centers on Sharon (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small- town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters. With Ed’s youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family and moves mountains to do it. What unfolds is an inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels.
