From the same director
O Amor Segundo B. Schianberg
This movie interlinks earlier films of the Brazilian filmmaker Beto Brant, ‘Crime Delicado’ and ‘Cão Sem Dono’. It is a story to be contemplated that shows the problems of love in everyday situations. The couple in the movie, Felix and Gala, explore the relationship between reality and filmmaking. ‘O Amor Segundo B. Schianberg’ is highly recommended for reflecting on love and relationships.
Stray Dog
Adaptation of the book 'Until the Day the Dog Died' by Daniel Galera. With good dialogue and performances, it's an interesting movie about relationships and life dissatisfactions. The feature film starts slow but picks up pace and explores the main couple, Ciro and Marcela, very well.
Belly Up
"The Killers" brings an intriguing, tense and very well-constructed story - flirting directly with film noir. Another great movie that makes up the résumé of director Beto Brant and, by the way, was his first feature film and at a time when Brazilian productions were being resumed after the impeachment of Fernando Collor. It was a great debut for Brant, with a strong cast, including Murilo Benício, Chico Diaz and Maria Padilha. A very good work that was part of the selection of the Toronto Festival.
Friendly Fire
Extremely relevant to any Brazilian, the backdrop of the movie is the country's history - involving the legacy of dictatorship still present in Brazil. 'Ação entre Amigos' has a non-linear timeline, with scenes from the past at various moments, to show the psychological traumas of the characters. It is very interesting this characteristic of the film, which also makes us reflect on everything that has already happened in our country (and on what continues to happen).
I'd Receive the Worst News from Your Beautiful Lips
This is the third movie by the partnership of Beto Brant and Renato Ciasca, based on the homonymous book from Marçal Aquino, who has already been present in many other movies by Brant as a screenwriter or due to his books. 'I Would Receive the Worst News from Your Beautiful Lips' brings an intriguing love triangle that urges you to keep watching the movie. Camila Pitanga charms in every scene she appears and succeeds in conveying all the dramatic elements of her character.
The Trespasser
One of the most recognized works of director Beto Brant's career, 'The Invader' was featured in several festivals around the world, including being awarded at Sundance. The police film discusses greed and corporatism present in large cities, and shows how strong national cinema can be. One of the highest points of 'The Invader' is the performance of Paulo Miklos (ex-member of Titãs), which is fantastic. In fact, the whole cast is good, featuring Mariana Ximenes, Marco Ricca, Alexandre Borges, and George Freire. Soundtrack and direction are impeccable.
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.
