Why watch this film?
Heartless is a film that was conceived during the childhood of filmmaker Nara Normande, who directs the feature film alongside Tião. Nara was born in Guaxuma, on the coast of Alagoas, and saw everything take shape there—her family, her friendships, her beliefs, her ideas. After talking about this region in "Guaxuma" and in the short film that gave rise to this feature, she decides to turn to the characters of her memories once and for all by telling the story of Tamara (Maya de Vicq, her niece), a young woman preparing to leave Guaxuma and go to college in the "big city." Among the various dilemmas that arise at this stage of life, the main one is the relationship that develops with Heartless (Eduarda Samara), a mysterious girl from the area. A film that blends extreme realism and fantasy in a kind of fable about what it means to grow up.

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.
