We review some of the most striking films that have reached the box office.
The premieres of the week They land today with great news for the box office. A list of films that will attempt to replicate the recent success of Inside Out 2, not without the extreme difficulty of living in one of the worst times as far as the exhibition market is concerned. To achieve this, the global billboard has a blockbuster of the stature of ORn quiet place: Day 1 and with the authorial touch that comes from the particular universe of filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimoswho repeats his lifelong association with Emma Stone in Kinds of Kindness. Two major titles that will be the attraction of the next few days, while giving way to all the other films that will arrive throughout the month of July. These are the most striking films that can be seen from now on:
The premieres of the week
‘Kinds of Kindness’
It hasn’t even been a year since we were able to see Poor creaturesbut luckily for fans of the Greek filmmaker, Kinds of Kindess seems to recover all the cruelty contained in his last works. Recovering his association with the screenwriter Efthymis Filippou (Canine, The sacrifice of a sacred deer), Lanthimos reunites Stone with Margaret Qualley and Willem Dafoe to stage human cruelty in this cross-story drama, in addition to featuring Jesse Plemons (The Moon Killers), who won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his performance. Without a doubt, the auteur film among all the releases of the week.
According to its official synopsis, Kinds of Kindess tells us a fable in the form of triptych that concentrates three stories. That of a trapped man trying to take control of his own life, that of a policeman terrified by the return of his wife after a shipwreck and that of a woman determined to find someone with a special gift, destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
‘A quiet place: Day 1’
Antagonistically different from Kinds of Kindnessthe prequel to one of the most profitable horror sagas of the last decade it now receives an expansion of its universe, rewarding action in its story more than ever. John Krasinski stays on production duties this time, while Michael Sarnoski (Pig) gets behind the cameras in a plot that changes the Abbot family for new protagonists: Sam (Lupita Nyong’o), Eric (Joseph Quinn) and a cat named Frodo. Alex Wolff, Djimon Hounsou, Elijah Ungvary and Thea Butler complete the main cast.
In A quiet place: Day 1 We will know how the invasion of the fearsome creatures that we already met in the previous installments was, although on this occasion the events will focus on NYone of the noisiest cities in the world. The Big Apple will be anything but quiet.
‘Horizon: An American Saga’
Kevin Costner presents his work to us most ambitious to datefinancing part of the large budget from his own pocket. A western divided into two parts (the second premieres at the end of August) that covers 15 years of expansion and settlement of the American West, before and after the Civil War. To narrate his epic, Costner has surrounded himself with a cast full of familiar faces, such as Siena Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee and Michael Rooker.
‘Burning house’
Dani de la Orden once again presents us with a family comedy with clear melodramatic overtones. Burning house tells the story of Montse, excited because she is about to spend a weekend with the whole family at her house in Cadaqués, on the Costa Brava. Divorced for some time, her ex has a new partner and her children have grown enough to no longer pay any attention to her. But for Montse there is nothing that can ruin a moment of happiness that she has been waiting for for a long time… although for this I have to burn everything.
‘Shayda’
Noora Niasari She makes her feature directorial debut with an Australian-produced film that touches on topics such as motherhood, family and immigration. And precisely the protagonist is Shayda, an Iranian woman who lives in a shelter for battered women in Australia.
