"Mars One" (not rated, 1 hour, 55 minutes, Netflix) This affable if predictable film festival favorite, which debuted at Sundance in 2022 and was awarded the Grand Jury Prize for Outstanding International Narrative Feature at Outfest Los Angeles, follows a lower middle-class Black family in Brazil trying to deal with their proximity to wealth and to make sense of their lives in the wake of the election of a far-right extremist president. With Rejane Faria, Carlos Francisco, Camilla Damiao, Cicero Lucas; directed by Gabriel Martins. In Portuguese with subtitles.
Alessandra Ambrosio had all eyes on her at the screening of Mars One during the opening night of the Hollywood Brazilian Film Festival in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
