A masterful story, breaking the ice with black comedy, but leading to chilling societal commentary.
-
The fictional biography of Ricardo Salgado, by way of Os Maias. Direct political answer to Raiva. Visually, it’s almost 3 hours of people chain smoking and gobbling litters of whisky.

Mad Max, Gravity, Space Cowboys (Donald Sutherland even!) and Moon stuffed in a blender.
-
An old-school sci-fi horror B-movie, which turns out to be an adaptation of Bluebeard. The wetware Ex Machina.

Alaaaarm! One of the greatest epic films, stands besides Seven Samurai and Saving Private Ryan as an eerie depiction of war.
-
Carpenter’s followup to Halloween. The music is almost the same.
