What to watch in the cinema this week

Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch step into sharp-edged dark comedy in this reimagining of the legendary War of the Roses. Theo, a brilliant and ambitious architect, and Ivy, a talented chef, seemed like the perfect couple since falling in love in college. After marrying, having two children, and moving to the sunny West Coast, cracks begin to appear in their relationship. What was once mutual admiration becomes fierce rivalry in a marital battle where love no longer unites—it’s the sharpest weapon of all.

Fun fact: The War of the Roses premiered in 1989 starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas, with Danny DeVito delivering a celebrated performance (and directing the film).

Pure action from Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (The Whale, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream), with Austin Butler as a former baseball star turned bartender in a dingy New York dive. His life takes an unexpected turn when his punk neighbor asks him to do a simple favor: take care of his cat. What seems harmless quickly spirals into a nightmare as he’s dragged into a relentless chase by gangsters. Everyone wants something from him… but he has no idea what or why.

Fun fact: Austin Butler shot to Hollywood fame with his role as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s acclaimed biopic.

Starring Luciano Cáceres, this Argentine drama follows a man who travels to Madrid as his father faces imminent death. There, he confronts the distance that has always marked their relationship, attempting to rebuild their bond through encounters with people from his father’s life—while immersing himself in Madrid’s nightlife, which pushes him closer and closer to the edge.

An exciting animated adventure set in the mysterious Bay of the Great Dragon.

Fun fact: Directed by Chinese filmmaker Busifan, known for creating stunning visual worlds like the acclaimed Dahufa and the multi-award-winning short Valley of White Birds, an Oscar nominee.

The iconic film by Emir Kusturica returns to theaters fully remastered in 4K. This biting political satire, released during the Balkan crisis and spanning half a century of Yugoslav history, became a landmark of 1990s cinema. The story follows two friends who, during World War II, hide underground. What starts as a survival strategy turns into a massive deception when one convinces the others that the war never ended—while he systematically rises in politics.

Fun fact: The soundtrack by Goran Bregović, featuring gypsy brass bands and popular songs, became a phenomenon with live performances worldwide.

A lively animated adventure full of action, humor, and excitement made especially for kids. When a train unexpectedly departs carrying only the pets onboard, they soon discover that Hans, a bitter badger, is behind it all. As disaster looms, Falcon—a clever raccoon—will do anything to save them.

Fun fact: This French film was directed by experienced filmmakers Benoît Daffis and Jean-Christian Tassy.
