Eleven love stories set in one of the most loved and hated cities of the world, New York City.

Selection of the prestigious ACID at the Cannes Film Festival, this movie is an erotic romance that brings an interesting debate about the difference between sex and love. The movie tells the story of a couple with very different lives struggling against an obsessive attraction so strong it shakes their convictions and destroys the image of relationships they had imagined for themselves. The two explore their sexual limits, creating a tension that envelops those who watch it. It's the second movie by young director Jan Gassmann, who has stood out in the art circuit.

One of the most beloved and praised Disney films, 'Beauty and the Beast' got its live-action version with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as the leads, while the mediocre director Bill Condon ('Twilight') took on the responsibility behind the camera. The result is not quite grand either. The story is the same as the original animation released in the 1990s, and even camera movements are replicated. Here, the viewer must find comfort in the stunning musical numbers (mainly the dance scene and "Be Our Guest") and an impressive production design - Belle's dresses are jaw-dropping. It's not amazing, nor as memorable as the original animation. Still, it should warm the heart of those fans looking for good Disney stories.

An intelligent and funny adaptation of the Shakespearian classic 'The Taming of the Shrew' for the start of the 21st century, this romantic comedy breaks away from genre conventions and delivers a story that transcends clichés, thanks in large part to the charming performances of Heath Ledger (with a certain musical act standing out), Julia Stiles, and a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt. No wonder the film has become a cult classic that has crossed generations.
