Trailer
Why watch this film?
Directed by Vicente Amorim (‘Dirty Hearts’), the feature film is designed by comic book artist Danilo Beyruth (who has gone through the American comic book market, including the magazine of the Ghost Rider character) and inspired by graphic novels like ‘Watchmen’ and ‘Sin City’, among others. All this is reflected in an extremely visual movie, with agile editing and impeccable photography - even if the script does not follow the same daring.

Yakuza Princess
Despite 'Yakuza Princess' being a movie directed by Vicente Amorim ('Motorrad'), based on a Brazilian comic book and taking place entirely in the Liberdade neighborhood of São Paulo, the story could not be less Brazilian. After all, the plot follows the story of one of the heirs of the Yakuza who, in order to survive the war that is being waged between the Japanese gangs, forges an alliance with a strange amnesiac who believes that an ancient sword unites their two destinies. With a striking neon visual and a plot that resembles the story of 'Kill Bill', the feature film almost completely bets on aesthetics and good action scenes (the ladder scene is exceptional!) To hold the viewer. The lack of identity of the production and the exaggeratedly slow pace, trying to honor Japanese productions of the last century, may scare away some viewers who are looking for more adrenaline films. Still, it is a good example of Brazilian genre production and, without a doubt, will please those who like movies about Japanese culture and society -- with special attention to violence, reminding even more of Tarantino's film.
Duetto
Lucia (Marieta Severo) is going through a turning point in her life. Her son Marcelo (Rodrigo Lombardi) has just died in a car accident, right during the Military Dictatorship, and her relationship with her daughter-in-law (Maeve Jinkings) is not the best. That's when she decides to take her granddaughter (Luisa Arraes) and return to Italy, the land of her family, to settle some issues with her sister. This is the plot of 'Duetto'. Directed by Vicente Amorim ('Motorrad', 'The Yakuza Princess'), the feature film dives into these two languages, societies and realities to talk about something that is universal: the wonders and pains of living. With experience, wrinkles, stories and laughter come - be it with friends, acquaintances or family. Incredible stories arise. Joys and disappointments arise. And it is about life, and about living, that 'Duetto' brings its looks.
Thriller
Sleeping Dogs
Roy Freeman, an ex-homicide detective with a fractured memory, is forced to revisit a case he can’t remember. As a man’s life hangs in the balance on death row, Freeman must piece together the brutal evidence from a decade-old murder investigation, uncovering a sinister web of buried secrets and betrayals linking to his past. With only instincts to trust, he faces a chilling truth - sometimes, it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie.
Disappear Completely
The great virtue of horror cinema, it has been said before, is its elasticity to allegorically address virtually any social issue, from criminal violence (Tigers Are Not Afraid) and patriarchal violence and economic marginality (We Are What We Are) to identity and femininity (Huesera: The Bone Woman), to mention just a few notable examples in Mexican Cinema. Disappear Completely (Desaparecer por completo) a horror thriller by Luis Javier Henaine (Ready to Mingle), joins that select and distinguished canon. The plot revolves around Santiago (Harold Torres), the best crime scene photographer in Mexico City, who has gradually become desensitized to all the violence he has witnessed. One day, after infiltrating a mysterious crime scene, he begins to lose, one by one and without logical explanation, his five senses. A powerful metaphor about how both the media and we as individuals relate to the everyday violence that surrounds us.
