We have the latest from the John Wick universe, a new Wes Anderson film, a Japanese manga adaptation, and three national releases: a gritty film based on a true story plus two Argentine productions that have enjoyed successful runs at international festivals.

1. El Esquema Fenicio

Attention Wes Anderson fans: his new film is set in the 1950s and follows the journey of one of Europe’s richest men who survives an assassination attempt. His ruthless business tactics have made him an enemy not just of rival companies but governments of all ideologies. At this crucial moment, he decides to name his successor—his daughter, a nun with whom he’s been estranged for years.

Fun fact: The film stars Benicio del Toro and Mia Threapleton, with appearances by Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, and Benedict Cumberbatch.

2. Bailarina

The latest from the John Wick universe follows Eve, a deadly assassin haunted by the tragic death of her father and trained to kill from childhood by a criminal organization. On a revenge journey, Eve faces ruthless enemies in brutal hand-to-hand combat where dance and fighting merge into one language.

Fun fact: The movie stars Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves.

3. Gatillero

An Argentine film based on true events telling the story of an ex-hitman recently released from prison who accepts a minor job: shoot at a store to send a mafia message. What seems like a simple task turns into a nightmare of chaos, betrayal, and survival.

Fun fact: Directed by Cris Tapia Marchesoli, it stars Sergio Podeley, Julieta Díaz, Maite Lanata, and Mariano Torre among a great cast.

4. Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye

The highly anticipated prelude to the second season of Yokinobu Tatsu’s hit manga, blending action, comedy, romance, and horror. It tells the story of two teens facing paranormal threats in a mysterious hot springs town. What started as a simple trip turns into a terrifying experience when hidden forces begin to emerge.

5. La Quinta

Rudi and Silvia, along with their three children Martín, Federico, and Silvina, escape the big city to their country house for winter vacation. But when they open the door, a nauseating smell comes out—the house has been occupied by the local caretaker. They try to convince the neighbors to evict him until something horrible happens that completely changes their plans.

Fun fact: Directed by Silvina Schnicer, the film screened at the Marrakech, Gran Canaria, Guadalajara, and Mar del Plata festivals.

6. Lo que escribimos juntos

Mariano and Juan have been a couple for years; they have a dog and an apparently quiet life. Mariano has always wanted to run a nursery away from the city. Taking advantage of Juan’s success as a writer with his latest novel, they decide to make the change. But as they settle into their new routine, Juan’s best friend visits with news and many questions.

Fun fact: Directed by Argentine Nicolás Teté, the film had a successful international festival run.
