Weekend at the cinema, horror and blissful ignorance

Here are the top new releases in theaters, so you know what to see this weekend.

Autopsy by André Øvredal
Norwegian director André Øvredal lands in the United States with a horror that could win you over. Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch are two coroners from a small town in Virginia. Their life is turned upside down by the body of an unknown woman found in a basement following a multiple homicide. A body that tells a gruesome and mysterious story, and that carries behind it a long (and frightening) trail of puzzles.

Bleed – Stronger than fate by Ben Younger
The life of Vinny Pazienza, played by the young Miles Teller, seemed designed to become a film. It is an Italian-American boxer, of little talent, but great dedication, who has won a lot and lived to the limits, between excesses and extravagance. A boxer able to get back up from a terrible accident, also thanks to the determination of his coach, played by Aaron Eckhart. In short, a kind of reissue of Rocky, recommended for fans of the genre.

The Right to Count by Theodore Melfi
In our cinemas starting on International Women's Day, it is a film based on a true story, that of the first three African American women who managed to work on astronaut John Glenn's expedition into orbit: Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) , Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe). Nominated for three Academy Awards (including Best Picture) it is an uplifting and good-feeling film, but capable of keeping rhetoric and molasses largely under control.

A question of Karma by Edoardo Falcone
Second work of the director, after the successful debut with "If God Wills". The film starts from a particular assumption: Fabio De Luigi, a rich heir devoted to hipsterism, discovers that the trafficker Elio Germano would be the reincarnation of his father, who died when he was still a child. The clash encounter between two very different characters will end up changing them both profoundly.

The Father of Italyby Fabio Mollo
The meeting between two solitudes and two lives adrift. That of Paolo, a silent and introverted gay man and Mia, a half-crazed rocker struggling with abandonments and a rather advanced pregnancy. A tried and tested scheme, at the risk of being worn out, but which also works thanks to the skilful direction of Mollo. A predictable film, at times, but capable of moving.

BOX OFFICE
The films that have grossed the most in the past week.
