13:20 | Pelé: Birth of a Legend |

Biography. USA 2016, 107 min. Directed by Jeff Zimbalist, Michael Zimbalist. Starring: Kevin de Paula, Seu Jorge, Mariana Nunes, Leonardo Lima Carvalho. In English with Russian subtitles. A biographical drama about the whirlwind beginnings of Brazilian wunderkind Edson Arantes do Nascimento’s football career – better known to the world as Pelé. While growing up in the slums of Sao Paulo, Pelé first stepped onto a football pitch for an official match at age fifteen, and within two years he brought Brazil a World Cup with the deciding goal against the hosting Swedish team. The young Zimbalist brothers’ biopic is not so much a documentary about the outstanding career of one of the most famous athletes of the 20th century as it is the story of a footballer who couldn’t and wouldn’t play like everyone else – and instead turned his playing style into a world standard.

18:30, 23:05. Thriller. France, Denmark, USA 2016, 118 min. Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. Starring: Elle Fanning, Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves. In English with Russian subtitles. The young Jesse (Elle Fanning) moves out of her podunk hometown to Los Angeles in the hopes of becoming a model. She rents a cheap room in a dubious motel and agrees to a photo session with the first photographer she meets. Soon she begins to attract the attention of agents who have grown tired of the stereotypical look of California models. Jesse’s quick rise can’t help but attract the jealousy of her competitors, and her friendship with the stylist-turned-mortician Ruby (Jena Malone) doesn’t bode well. A new film by Nicolas Winding Refn (director of “Valhalla” and “Drive”) that caused an uproar at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. A frightening fairy tale about the Los Angeles fashion world, which is turned into a two-hour-long surrealist performance by the glitz, flashes, neon lights, and Cliff Martinez’s music – reminiscent either of a David Lynch movie “or a very sick version of a Calvin Klein commercial,” according to Variety.

Documentary. UK 2013, 91 min. Directed by Ben Harding. In English with Russian subtitles. In 2013, Norway will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Edvard Munch (1863–1944), a towering figure in modern art. Already hailed as a “once-in-a-lifetime show” global interest is understandably huge, especially after one of his four The Scream paintings recently sold for a record $120 million. Munch 150 will be co-hosted by Norway’s National Museum and Munch Museum, both in Oslo. This exhibition marks the most ambitious presentation of his art ever. With 220 paintings on show, it brings together the greatest number of Munch’s key works in one place. The corresponding cinema event will go behind-the-scenes to show some of the process of putting the exhibition together – as well as touring Norway to provide an in-depth biography of a man who lived from the mid 19th century right through to the German occupation during the Second World War. Norwegian and international experts will offer their insights and knowledge to host Tim Marlow.
