Why watch this film?
A delicate movie that speaks about pain and strong emotions. The main characters Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland deliver amazing and extremely touching performances. Mirren was even nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in this movie. Although predictable, it's a very sensitive movie and recommended for those who like captivating stories!

Human Capital
A great character study, with a socio-economic analysis embedded. A story about how our hunger for money can destroy our lives and our families. All wrapped up with great performances and direction from award-winning director Paolo Virzì.
Magical Nights
The Italian cinema has already produced cinematic gems such as 'La Dolce Vita', 'Cinema Paradiso' and 'The Bicycle Thieves'. In 'Notti Magiche', the new film by director Paolo Virzì (from the interesting 'La Prima Cosa Bella'), there is a celebration of this past cinema and its classics. With a trio of slightly detestable characters who travel through the Italian cinema's backstage, it is possible to revive some of the magic and surprises that this art left in a distant time -- an experience similar to what 'Midnight in Paris' or 'Dilili in Paris' proposed, for example. Of course, those who have some admiration for classic Italian cinema and those who like to travel in these backstages that populate the imagination of cinephiles around the world will embark on the idea. Those who do not fit into either group should be bored, mainly due to the lack of empathy of the protagonists.
Comedy
A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.
Club Zero
Club Zero is a film with a risky proposition: to understand how young people, especially those of Generation Z, dive headfirst into new trends to feel like they belong to something. But at what cost? That's what this complicated film by Jessica Hausner (Little Joe) seeks to understand. Complicated, not because it has any complexity, but because it tackles a thorny issue (this particular behavior) and further complicates it by addressing eating disorders, with young people stopping eating for the sake of a better world. With not much material to discuss, the film ends up going in circles and dangerously falling into emptiness. However, Hausner still manages to find some space to reflect on where the world is heading and, above all, where this dangerous herd behavior is taking us — something that, ultimately, the film itself ends up embracing by adhering to trends reminiscent of Wes Anderson's style and Greek cinema aesthetics.
Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. 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.
