In 1977, PK, a 23-year-old Delhi street artist from a poor, ‘untouchable’ family, picked up a handful of paintbrushes and a second-hand bicycle and set off on a 6000-mile cross-continent mission – to find Lotta, the woman who had captured his heart. A love story like no other, The Cycle of Love is an inspiring, heart-warming, epic true-life adventure about the search for self-belief and risking everything for what your heart tells you.

ABOUT THE FILM
A pair of petty thieves, Nancy (Bruna Marquezine) and Sid (Vladimir Brichta), specialize in robbing the homes of elderly victims, but their latest targets prove far more dangerous—and resourceful—than expected. Marta (powerhouse Fernanda Montenegro) and Rodolfo (Ary Fontoura) may look like harmless retirees, but they are anything but. After unjustly losing money, they intend to reclaim, the veteran thieves devise an audacious plan to rob a bank—and need younger legs and a petite body to pull it off. Their unlikely recruits are Nancy and Sid, who soon discover that taking advantage of their new partners may be easier said than done. Adding to the chaos is investigator Oswaldo Aranha (Lázaro Ramos), a tenacious police chief nearing retirement, determined to unravel the scheme. As the thieves try to stay one step ahead of the law—and each other—the heist becomes a battle of cunning, deception, and generational rivalry. Directed by Cláudio Torres, the film gets the best out of its stellar cast, delivering a warm, witty, and refreshing comedy that breaks Marta and Rodolfo’s characters out of the “harmless grandpa” mold, restoring their desire, pride, and tactical brilliance. The mix of playful generational clashes and unexpected twists creates an entertaining, personality-driven caper—with enough dramatic tension to make this unlikely crew worth rooting for.
Winner of Best Comedy Feature at the 25th Grande Otelo Awards, Brazil’s equivalent of the Oscars.
Velhos Bandidos – em português
Quando os ladrões de pequena monta, Nancy (Bruna Marquezine) e Sid (Vladimir Brichta), especializa-se em assaltar casas de idosos. Mas seus alvos mais recentes se revelam muito mais perigosos — e engenhosos — do que poderiam imaginar. Marta (a brilhante Fernanda Montenegro) e Rodolfo (Ary Fontoura) podem parecer aposentados inofensivos, mas estão longe de ser. Depois de perderem injustamente um dinheiro que pretendem recuperar, os veteranos elaboram um plano audacioso para assaltar um banco. Para colocá-lo em prática, porém, precisam de pernas mais jovens — e de um corpo franzino capaz de realizar a parte mais delicada da operação. Seus recrutas improváveis são Nancy e Sid, que logo descobrem que tirar vantagem de seus novos parceiros pode ser muito mais difícil do que parecia. Para completar o caos, entra em cena o investigador Oswaldo Aranha (Lázaro Ramos), um delegado obstinado, prestes a se aposentar e determinado a desvendar o esquema. Enquanto os ladrões tentam ficar um passo à frente da lei — e uns dos outros —, o assalto se transforma em uma disputa de astúcia, trapaças e rivalidade entre gerações. Sob a direção de Cláudio Torres, o filme extrai o melhor de seu elenco estelar e entrega uma comédia calorosa, espirituosa e refrescante, que foge do estereótipo dos “avós inofensivos” e resgata o desejo, o orgulho e o brilhantismo tático de Marta e Rodolfo. A combinação de choques geracionais divertidos e reviravoltas inesperadas resulta em um filme de assalto envolvente e cheio de personalidade, com tensão dramática suficiente para fazer o público torcer por esse grupo tão improvável. Vencedor do prêmio de Melhor Longa-Metragem de Comédia na 25ª edição do Grande Prêmio do Cinema Brasileiro (Grande Otelo), o equivalente brasileiro ao Oscar.

Nancy (Bruna Marquezine) y Sid (Vladimir Brichta), una pareja de ladrones de poca monta, se especializan en robar casas de ancianos, pero sus últimas víctimas resultan ser mucho más peligrosas —y astutas— de lo esperado. Marta (Fernanda Montenegro) y Rodolfo (Ary Fontoura) pueden parecer jubilados inofensivos, pero son todo lo contrario. Tras perder injustamente un dinero que pretenden recuperar, estos veteranos ladrones tienen un plan audaz para atracar un banco, para lo cual necesitan piernas jóvenes y una complexión menuda que les ayuden a llevarlo a cabo. Sus inesperados reclutas son Nancy y Sid, quienes pronto descubren que aprovecharse de sus nuevos socios no es tan fácil. El caos aumenta con la presencia del investigador Oswaldo Aranha (Lázaro Ramos), un tenaz jefe de policía a punto de jubilarse y decidido a desmantelar el plan. Mientras los ladrones intentan ir un paso por delante de la ley —y de los demás—, el atraco se convierte en una batalla de ingenio, engaño y rivalidad generacional. Bajo la dirección de Cláudio Torres, la película brilla por su reparto estelar y ofrece una comedia cálida, ingeniosa y refrescante que rompe con el estereotipo de los abuelos inofensivos. La mezcla de divertidos choques generacionales y giros inesperados crea una película de atracos entretenida y llena de personalidad, con la tensión dramática suficiente para que el público desee que este insólito equipo triunfe. Ganadora del premio a la Mejor Comedia en la 25.ª edición de los premios Grande Otelo, el equivalente brasileño de los Óscar.

Visionary director Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw the TV Glow) presents a new kind of horror remake in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Bursting with imagination and surreal wit, their latest genre-bending wonder affirms there’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure.
After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is due for resurrection. And one young director (Hannah Einbinder) is more than up to the task. But when she visits the original’s star, a now-reclusive actress (Gillian Anderson), the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, delirium — under threat from the spear-wielding Little Death.
