Why watch this film?
"La Fiera y la Fiesta" es un drama inspirado en las obras inacabadas del director dominicano Jean-Louis Jorge (considerado transgresor para su época con una visión única para la producción de sus películas). Cuenta la historia de Vera, una actriz sin perspectiva que enfrenta el fin inminente de su carrera. Al conseguir un guión inacabado a través de un amigo, decide dirigir un musical llamado "La Fiera y la Fiesta" como su último trabajo. Con sus antigos amigos, Vera trabaja en la producción del musical, pero de repente, conflictos y muertes comienzan a ocurrir durante la grabación. El elenco destaca la presencia de Udo Kier, actor consagrado de larga carrera y extremadamente versátil, quien ganó más fama aquí en Brasil después de su papel en "Bacurau" de 2019.

Drama
Manticore

Como el mar
Como el mar is an Argentine film where a young woman, Azul (Zoe Hochbaum), discovers that her supposed older sister (Sofía Gala Castiglione) is actually her biological mother, and the mother who has just died was really her grandmother. Seeking answers about her father, they embark on a journey to Uruguay, where they must transform their bond. This road movie moves at a slow, contemplative pace, focusing more on exploring feelings than events, which may seem too simplistic for those looking for complex dramas. However, it's an emotional film, and the performance of the legendary Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) is definitely worth watching.
My First Film
Many filmmakers spend their lives trying to sustain their creative careers, unaware of their missteps. In My First Film, the debut feature of director Zia Anger (who has created videos for artists like Mitski and Beach House), we see the opposite: a filmmaker who looks back and reconstructs what went wrong in her disastrous first attempt when she was younger. Past and present blend with reality and fiction (featuring artists like Odessa Young), in a film that recreates not just events but emotions. There are many meta and revisionist films, but My First Film is the most fascinating since 2018's Shirkers, at the very least.
Borders of Love
Petr and Hana, who after years together share their unspoken erotic fantasies. What begins as an innocent conversation gradually turns into experimentation with other partners and increasingly pushing the limits of just how far they can go with a non-monogamous relationship before it gets out of hand.
