2022 was the year when the world, among other things, began to slowly return to cinemas. In this important step, of course, blockbusters like “Top Shooter: Maverick“, “JUranian World: Dominion” and “Avatar: Path of Water“.
But in the outgoing year there were many other genres of cinema: from festival films to international and more commercial films. And, of course, films that may have escaped the attention of a significant part of the audience. What is it;
American-made documentary directed and produced by Tonya Lewis Lee and Paula Eizelt. The story follows Omari Maynard and Bruce McIntyre, whose partners died due to preventable birth complications and now fight for justice.

The story of the French film follows Anais, a 30-year-old woman who is lonely and devoted to someone she believes doesn’t love her anymore. She then meets Daniel, who immediately falls in love with her, but Daniel lives with Emily, who is fascinated by Anais.
Using archival footage, Peter Jackson filmed a documentary mini-series Come Back featuring members of the legendary British band The Beatles. The band’s final concert on the rooftop of multimedia company Apple Corps in London is shown in the documentary, but was also released separately on Disney+.
Claire Denny is directing Margaret Quayle, Joe Alvin and Benny Safdie in a political thriller that won the Grant Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. A young American journalist stranded in modern-day Nicaragua falls in love with a mysterious Briton who she sees as her chance to escape. Soon she will realize that he may be in more danger than she is.
Romain Gavras returned to the cinema with the film “Athena”, which caused controversy. An action movie with strong political overtones. The main characters of the story are four brothers of Arab origin. After the tragic death of a younger brother under unclear circumstances, the lives of the three older brothers will become chaotic. A major uprising will break out in a seedy suburb of France, and the situation will spiral out of control.
Vanessa Kirby stars in Adam Leon’s arthouse drama as an amnesiac writer. Wandering around New York, she will meet a group of teenagers, hang out with them – talking to them in reality or in her imagination – and will look for a way to return to her old everyday life. The film also stars Maya Hawke.
The Chinese-made film tells the story of three real people who took part in the uprisings in their youth. The film dramatizes the traumatized memories and experiences of four people who participated in the anti-government protests in Hong Kong in 2019-2020.
