19:20. Comedy. USA 1979, 96 min. Directed by Woody Allen. Starring: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Mariel Hemingway, Michael Murphy. In English with Russian subtitles. One of Woody Allen’s best films: a black and white elegy about love and sex in the big city, all set to Gershwin. 42-year-old screenwriter Isaac is dating a 17-year-old aspiring actress, Tracy, but runs away from even the slightest hint at a serious relationship. The situation becomes even more complex when he starts having an affair with his friend’s mistress. The protagonists are swept up in a whirlpool of big and little lies, chance meetings and everyday infidelity, sprinkled with bittersweet humor and a sense of sorrow at the loss of true feelings — all hidden underneath a mask of irony, which has become such an integral part of them that they can no longer remember what it’s like to feel without it.

16:20. Drama. USA 2019, 149 min. Directed by John Crowley. Starring: Ansel Elgort, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Paulson, Finn Wolfhard, Aneurin Barnard, Oakes Fegley, Luke Wilson. In English with Russian subtitles. A film adaptation of Donna Tartt’s bestselling novel, which received the Pulitzer Prize in 2014. Theo Decker was 13 years old when his mother was killed in a terrorist attack on the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This tragedy changed his entire life and began a long, troublesome path full of sorrow, guilt, crime and redemption, loneliness, loss — and, in spite of it all, love. This is a path to making peace with life and with himself, above all else. Only one thing is certain to accompany Theo on his journey: a small and deceptively simple painting, full of deeper meaning, by 17th-century artist Carel Fabritius: “The Goldfinch.”
