Comedy. Italy 2014, 105 min. Directed by Sydney Sibilia. Starring: Edoardo Leo, Valeria Solarino, Valerio Aprea. In Italian with Russian subtitles. Layoffs are beginning at the university, and a talented scientist finds himself among those without work. Along with his former colleagues – linguists, economists, anthropologists, chemists, and archaeologists – he decides to create a criminal gang in order to make money selling a new psychotropic drug. Success comes quickly, and the single problem he has to face is how to direct such a ragtag group. Sydney Sibilia’s Italian comedy hit, reminiscent both of “Breaking Bad” and Guy Ritchie’s films.

Comedy. France 2017, 123 min. Directed by Guillaume Canet. Starring: Guillaume Canet, Marion Cotillard, Philippe Lefebvre. In French with Russian subtitles. Guillaume and Marion are a married couple of actors. Not long ago, he was a young star, and enjoyed the lush life of fame. Now he’s 43, filming cheap TV shows, wearing whatever he finds, and the press has begun to hint that his career is coming to an end. Guillaume is finally defeated by one young actress, who announces that he’s already not “rock’n roll,” and in her list of potential lovers, he’s only one place away from the bottom. Guillaume understands that he has to turn his life around. A mockumentary in which Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard seem to play themselves, while actually taking their media images to a level of absurdity. As the director himself said “If we listen to all sorts of stupid things about us, why not come up with some of them ourselves?”
