D.P.A. 3 O Filme: Uma Aventura no Fim do Mundo
It's amazing what the 'Blue Building Detectives' franchise has achieved: it hit the magical number of 1 million viewers in the cinema, established itself on TV as a success among kids and, on top of that, managed to make a beautiful journey on the theater stages. It is no wonder, then, that the saga of the junior detectives arrives at its third chapter with the friendly, honest and fun 'D.P.A. 3: An Adventure at the End of the World'. Unexpectedly directed by Mauro Lima, from 'Tim Maia', 'My Name Is Not Johnny' and 'Kings and Rats', the movie tells the story of the four detectives (Pippo, Bento, Berenice and Sol) facing an ancestral threat that affects the doorman Severino (Ronaldo Reis). Out of nowhere, he becomes a person of evil who wants to affect the four children. From then on, a race begins to save Severino while they also flee from witches (Klara Castanho and Alexandra Richter). Lima moves away from the adult, serious and daring tone of his other experiences as a director to embrace a movie that repeats patterns to tell the story of children in an adventure full of fantasy. 'D.P.A. 3' follows, thus, the b-a-ba of the other two feature films, hitting the right emotion and excitement of this story. Those who are fans of the other two films, as well as the series and the theater play, will be enchanted with the farewell of this beloved cast.
Drama
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
