She now lives in an apartment in the centre of London, her career as a news producer is on the rise, and it seems to her for the first time that she has her life under control.

Now Bridget is pregnant and has no idea who the father of her future child is – a sweet billionaire or a famous lawyer. The long-awaited continuation of the Bridget Jones saga, 11 years after the most recent movie’s release. The film is based on newspaper columns by Helen Fielding from eight years ago.

09:15, 23:25. Drama. France, Germany, Belgium 2016, 130 min. Directed by Paul Verhoeven. Starring: Isabelle Huppert, Laurent Lafitte, Anne Consigny. In French with Russian subtitles. Michèle (Isabelle Huppert) owns a successful business, has an adult son, and is in a thriving relationship with one of her colleagues. It seems that the healthy rhythm of her life can’t be stopped by anything - until she is unexpectedly raped in her own apartment. When Michèle comes to her senses, rather than rushing to the police, she is overwhelmed by a desire to meet her assailant and take revenge on him herself. When he comes back online, a dangerous game between the two begins, and constantly threatens to spin out of control. Paul Verhoeven (“Basic Instinct,” “Total Recall,” “Robocop”) returns with a new thriller, a sinister erotic comedy about sadomasocism, suppressed instincts, and social taboos. The film was presented in the concourse programme at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

Documentary. USA 2016, 90 min. Directed by Andrew Rossi. In English with Russian subtitles. Every year, at the beginning of May, the Metropolitan Museum in New York plans one of the biggest events in the fashion world – the Met Gala, dedicated to the biggest exhibit of the year. In 2015, the event was dedicated to the exhibit “China: Through the Looking Glass,” which studied the influence of Chinese culture on the worlds of fashion and art, and which became one of the most-visited exhibits in the history of the Costume Institute. The exhibit also presented a unique opportunity for the American and European cinema worlds: the films in the exposition were chosen personally by Wong Kar Wai. “The First Monday in May” shows one of the most important events in worldwide fashion culture through the eyes of the gala’s organizers – the editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, and the curator of the Costume Institute Andrew Bolton. The gala’s main participants are the world’s leading designers, actors, musicians, and models, including Rihanna, Beyoncé, Sara Jessica Parker, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Jean-Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, and others.
