Why watch this film?
What is the limit of truth? How far should we blindly believe only one version of a fact? 'Jagten' is a Danish film by Thomas Vinterberg that only becomes more relevant with time and the growth of the "cancel culture". In the plot, we follow a kindergarten teacher who is accused of abuse by a five-year-old girl and becomes an outcast in his community, even without any proof. From there, remembering the traditional (and real) story of Base School, we see this man trying to regain his credibility and show those closest to him that he did not commit any abuse. The great highlight is the performance of Mads Mikkelsen ('Another Round'), which brings a pulsating force to his protagonist.

The Command
"Kursk: The Last Mission" causes a strange sense of déjà vu. It seems like a movie that has already been released in theaters and watched many times. After all, the plot of a submarine stuck on the bottom of the Ocean repeats, at first, the sensations and emotions of other stories, such as the recent 'Wolf Alert' and 'Fury at Sea' or, still, the classic German 'The Boat, Hell at Sea'. However, deep down, Danish director Thomas Vinterberg (from the excellent 'The Hunt') finds elements that differentiate his new production from other similar plots. The cast, for example, is all made up of actors of different origins: there are English (Colin Firth), French (Léa Seydoux), Swedish (Max von Sydow) and even Belgian (Matthias Schoenaerts). And in the essence of 'Kursk', more than a drama about shipwrecked crew, it is possible to find a plot of humanity and a lot of emotion.

Another Round
There is no doubt that 'Another Round', widely recognized in the 2021 awards season, causes some strangeness in the Brazilian public's first contact with the story. After all, the plot follows a group of teachers, all of them friends for years, who decide to drink alcohol doses before classes. It's like an experiment, to understand if it will increase performance, joy and yield. Obviously, a lot goes wrong and we even have some escapism for humor. But it doesn't matter: in the direction, we have Thomas Vinterberg. Repeating his partnership with Mads Mikkelsen after 'The Hunt', the filmmaker seeks to investigate the dilemmas and problems of unlimited alcohol consumption - a real issue in Denmark, where teenagers drink and are encouraged to drink from an early age. It does not fall into banalities, nor into any sentimental drama. In 'Another Round', there are good questions about life, masculinity, ego and easy escapism, always with an interesting atmosphere created by Vinterberg. And I already advance: the final sequence with Mikkelsen is already one of the best scenes in cinema in 2021, full of life and meanings through a single dance.

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.
