Elizabeth: The Golden Age
The second installment in Shekhar Kapur's trilogy about the reign of Elizabeth I is a visual and emotional delight. Showcasing the character now in full adulthood and thanks to the Oscar-winning performance of Cate Blanchett, the indomable spirit of this historical figure who overcame hundreds of obstacles to protect her kingdom is transmitted. However, the plot is simplistic, at times oversimplifying complex historical events to privilege the showy (and expensive) staging with wide shots and impeccable costumes. If you like period films, you can't miss it.
What's Love Got to Do With It?
What's Love Got to Do With It? (What’s Love Got to Do With It?) is a romantic comedy about a filmmaker and app-addict (Lily James, from Yesterday) who decides to document the arranged marriage process of her best friend, from a traditional Pakistani family, which also changes her attitudes towards love. It is a simple romantic comedy without great pretensions and that does not reinvent the wheel. However, this simplicity translates into an accentuated sincerity through the protagonists' performances, so it is an excellent option if you are only looking for light entertainment or a romantic evening.
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.
