Tim Burton's Dumbo, Likemeback, and Border: Three Films in Theaters

Three films are currently in Italian theaters: Tim Burton's live-action "Dumbo," Leonardo Guerra Seràgnoli's "Likemeback," and Ali Abbasi's "Border." "Dumbo" follows a war-wounded father and his two children reuniting with a rundown circus and a baby elephant that changes their fate. The film emphasizes human characters and social change, with a strong animalist happy ending. "Likemeback" premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and stars Blu Yoshimi, Angela Fontana, and Denise Tantucci as three teenage girls on a sailing trip in Croatia whose social media use transforms their vacation into a brutal rite of passage. "Border," based on John Ajvide Lindqvist's story "Gräns," premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. It follows Tina, a customs officer with an exceptional sense of smell who meets Vore, a suspicious man who challenges her abilities. The film explores themes of lies and identity.
