THE Sundance Film Festival, an event for independent films and documentaries, is taking place in the United States and will show more than 100 projects. Among the releases that will pass through the event this year and that should debut in Brazilian cinemas still in 2023, are thrillers, science fiction features and romantic comedies. Check out five movies to keep an eye on:
“The Pod Generation”
Written and directed by Sophie Barthes, the sci-fi film follows a young couple, Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (“12 Years a Slave”), who consider becoming parents via detachable artificial wombs.
“Rye Lane”
A grand homage to Peckham’s artistic movements, the romantic comedy follows two twenty-somethings reeling from recent breakups during a busy day in south London. The film is directed by Raine Allen-Miller and features David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah as protagonists.
“Fair Play”
Far from the long period dresses of “Bridgerton”, actress Phoebe Dynevor stars in Chloe Domont’s psychological drama within a corporate setting. The story follows an ambitious executive who is in a relationship with a highly competitive man (Alden Ehrenreich), which implodes after a coveted promotion.
