Why watch this film?
Medicine has had its Dark Ages. However, it was doctors like Jean-Martin Charcot who, even without modern equipment, made advances in the field. This film portrays these difficulties in an exemplary way, even shocking us when we compare with doctors of today.

Proxima
Most movies about astronauts and space travel are led by men. Think 'Interstellar', 'First Man', 'Moon' and even 'Lost in Space'. That's why it's so interesting to see the work of filmmaker Alice Winocour (from 'Augustine'). Here, she tells the story of a female astronaut (Eva Green, from 'The Dreamers') who has to deal with the toxic and macho environment, as well as aspects of motherhood -- while the male colleagues talk little about their children, this protagonist has to cope with the distance from her daughter and the obligations imposed by society. So, although there are some discussions in an excess of subplots, 'Proxima' is a movie that knows how to talk about current issues with strength and originality that catches the attention and captivates. Finally, a special mention for Eva Green, in one of her strongest and most intense roles of her career.
Revoir Paris
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alice Winocour (Proxima), Revoir Paris is a powerful drama that tackles the French capital’s recent past with terrorist attacks. The plot follows Mia (the wonderful Virginie Efira, from Waiting for Bojangles), a woman that manages to survive one of such attacks. However, months later, she hasn’t managed to recover psychologically, so she decides to seek out other survivors to rebuild her memories of that day. It’s a sensitive portrayal –albeit a teary-eyed one– of grief and psychological trauma, that lets us see how our minds –and the people around us– struggle with situations such as this one.
Romance
Licença para Enlouquecer
When the lives of friends Sara, Lia and Leia turn into chaos of planetary proportions, they have to share a tiny apartment in São Paulo and almost go crazy. Who never? But the three are enough. They become accomplices to fulfill an indecent and irrefutable proposal: crossing the country to “animate” a secret party on the paradisiacal beach of Maragogi, in Alagoas. An absurdly unexpected adventure, with twists, passions, the strength of friendship and a surprise that will transform their destinies.
How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
The Taste of Things
From Vietnamese-French director Anh Hung Tran (The Scent of Green Papaya) and starring the legendary Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, The Taste of Things was France's selection for the 2024 Oscars, although it was not nominated. Set in 1889 and based on the character of Dodin-Bouffant created by Marcel Rouff, the story follows a chef (Magimel) enchanted by his cook (Binoche), for whom he feels not only culinary admiration, but genuine love. However, she is not ready to take the step into marriage and is happy and content with the relationship they have. Sensual in its visuality and narrative, it is a powerful story of love and about love, which, while not entirely breaking free from conventions, is elevated by the formidable talent of its protagonists.
Me Before You
Young and quirky Louisa "Lou" Clark moves from one job to the next to help her family make ends meet. Her cheerful attitude is put to the test when she becomes a caregiver for Will Traynor, a wealthy young banker left paralyzed from an accident two years earlier. Will's cynical outlook starts to change when Louisa shows him that life is worth living. As their bond deepens, their lives and hearts change in ways neither one could have imagined.
