Hail, Caesar!
The 1950’s, the Golden Age of Hollywood. For movie fans, it’s impossible not to fall in love with the excess and luxury of that time. That’s why the Coen Brothers decided to return there, bringing us along with a great cast, a comedy that is a true love letter to the best of past cinema. If you’re a nostalgic for that era (even if you didn’t live it), watch it!
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
The Coen Brothers, known for successes like 'Fargo', 'The Big Lebowski', and 'No Country For Old Men', come back to the old west world after the remake of 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs' in this Netflix exclusive feature. It’s six short stories that bring reflections of the world, social critiques, and also absurd situations - which brings to mind old westerns, which often used the dress of a lawless time to tell stories with very modern social critiques. The cast brings stars like James Franco and Liam Neeson, as well as an impeccable script, which was chosen as the best at the 2018 Venice Film Festival.
True Grit
Classic Hollywood Western, reinterpreted by the Coen Brothers' great vision. Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon's performances are great, particularly with their accents, but it is young Hailee Steinfeld who steals the show.
Fargo
A hilarious comedy full of black humour and human inefficiency, with grotesque murders and stupid detectives. The script is smart and dynamic, but William H. Macy's and Frances McDormand's (who won the Oscar for Best Actress) performances steal the show.
No Country for Old Men
Forget for a moment that this movie was nominated for eight Oscars and won four (including Best Picture). It's also not necessary to say that this is considered by many to be the best movie from the Coen brothers, which is no small feat. Not even mentioning that it is based on a text by Cormac McCarthy, one of the most important contemporary American writers. All you need to know is that 'No Country for Old Men' will stay with you forever, due to its powerful story about morality and the fight between good and an evermore incomprehensible evil, embodied by a chilling Javier Bardem in his career-defining role.

Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll

Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
