Walter Salles

Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. The Paiva family live a full and happy life in a house by the beach. One day, however, everything is turned upside-down when the military junta abducts the father. Director Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) based his heartbreaking film on memoirs written by the son of the seven-member family. »An engrossing, affecting tribute to a formidable woman and her family.« – Screen Daily. »A gripping, profoundly touching film with a deep well of pathos. It’s one of Salles’ best.« – The Hollywood Reporter. Oscar for Best International Feature Film.

Materialists Materialists

Celine Song

Saturday, 02. 08. 2025 / 21:30 / The Ljubljana Castle

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
