Trailer
Why watch this film?
Winner of seven Oscars, with an incredible photography of Africa, unforgettable soundtrack by John Barry and even more memorable performances by Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. The story of a philanthropist who travels to the heart of Africa in 1914, with the aim of helping the Kenyan population, is quite cliché and treated with certain prejudice - fruit of a colonizing vision of the time it was filmed, in the 1980s. However, the beauty and delicacy of the romance that arises between the characters of Streep and Redford help make the movie stand out compared to other nonsense of the kind. Special mention for the firm direction of Sydney Pollack, firm in his convictions.

From the same director
Tootsie
One of the great movies of the 1980s, balancing fun with drama (of a man unable to work) and romance. The end result is entertaining and it even earned Jessica Lange an Oscar for Best Actress.
Absence of Malice
Great movie by director Sydney Pollack, showing some of the behind-the-scenes of journalism in the 1970s and 1980s - and still very relevant to today's world. One of the best performances by Paul Newman.
Amazing Grace
Without a doubt, Aretha Franklin was one of the great names of American music and even worldwide, traversing between musical genres such as Soul, R&B, pop, gospel and dance - not to mention her importance in the fight for civil rights for blacks. That is why it is a true gift to find something still unpublished by the singer, and that is exactly what we have in 'Amazing Grace'. The film is the record of an Aretha show held in 1972, when she recorded the album 'Amazing Grace'. Originally directed by Sydney Pollack (from 'Tootsie' and 'Absence of Malice'), the concert was not released at the time due to audio synchronization problems with the images. This was only recently resolved, resulting in a historically impeccable and musically impeccable account of the star, who died in 2018 at the age of 76.
Drama
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.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
