Trailer
Why watch this film?
Movies about love triangles abound. However, few have the poetic sensitivity of 'Little Children', a film by Todd Field ('In the Bedroom'). Starring Patrick Wilson and a passionate Kate Winslet, the feature, more than talking about extramarital relationships, addresses the effects of parallel lives on the everyday life of those who are tired of the same old and the limitations of their routines. The transformation of the character played by Winslet (from 'Titanic') is palpable and visible throughout the more than two hours of projection - which pass quickly, it is worth noting. A movie to think about the possibilities of life, the small daily escapes and, mainly, the limits that routine ends up imposing on the transformation of each one.

TÁR
Culture of cancellation. That's the term that comes to mind while 'TÁR' plays on the screen, telling the story of teacher Lydia Tár. Directed by Todd Field, who hadn't commanded a movie since 2006 with 'Intimate Sins', the feature film tells the story of maestro Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett), considered one of the greatest in her area. She dominates music like few others. And she knows it. However, all this knowledge comes into direct conflict with her attitudes. She is self-sufficient, fiercely defends what she thinks and, worst of all, lets her sexual interests speak louder. This, throughout the 2h40 of projection, ends up creating a series of pitfalls and small problems. She gets on the wrong side of people, especially those younger than her who think differently. Among women, there is a feeling that she does not make friends, but only people who can serve her in some way. This Tár created by Field, therefore, is far from perfect. On the contrary: it is odious and makes us question to what extent we have someone like an idol. However, the feeling that remains is that this is only the trampoline for Field's greater questioning, who signs the script. How are these people, who live for art and breathe tradition, seen today? Tár wants to be remembered for her art, not for who she is - like Bach, Mozart, Beethoven. Will Tár also be able to cross the "cancellation" today, centuries later? You have to watch the movie to find out. Read our analysis here.

The Great Escaper
The Great Escaper is a film inspired by a moving true anecdote and is notable for featuring the final performances of the legendary Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. The story is about a World War II veteran who, unable to join a trip to France to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day in 2014, decides to escape from the nursing home and go on his own. This initiates a parallel narrative between Bernie's journey and what his wife Rene experiences at the nursing home. Although somewhat superficial, the film presents reflections on the ways war is typically portrayed—and idealized—in cinema. However, it manages to avoid cheap sentimentality, thanks largely to the phenomenal performances of its unparalleled leads.

This Closeness
This Closeness might best be described as a film in the lineage of mumblecore. Directed by indie filmmaker Kit Zauhar (who has already garnered similar acclaim for Actual People), the film is about a young couple in crisis who, over a weekend, rent a room in the apartment of another lonely man, who becomes an unwilling witness to their lives and problems. It's a small and extremely intimate film, about three characters who enter into a negotiation over privacy, where intimacy becomes a weapon and spaces, as well as sound, turn into battlefields both emotional and erotic.
