21:15. Fantasy, action, thriller. USA, UK 2010, 148 min. Directed by Christopher Nolan. Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy. In English with Russian subtitles. Cobb is a talented thief, the best of the best in the dangerous art of extraction: he steals valuable secrets from the depths of the subconscious during sleep, when the human mind is most vulnerable. Cobb's rare abilities made him a valuable player in the treacherous world of industrial espionage, but they also turned him into an eternal fugitive and robbed him of everything he had ever loved. But now Cobb has a chance to correct his mistakes. His last case could bring everything back, but for this he needs to do the impossible: an inception. Instead of a perfect theft, Cobb and his team of specialists will have to do the opposite. Now their task is not to steal an idea, but to implant it. If they succeed, it will be the perfect crime. But no amount of planning or skill can prepare the team to face a dangerous opponent who seems to anticipate their every move. An enemy that only Cobb can see.

The police don't know how to begin the investigation, but gradually find out that five people are involved in Evelyn's disappearance: a farmer and a nurse, grieving in an unhappy marriage; a strange patient; a waitress suffering from unrequited love; and a young African, living thousands of kilometers away from all of them. Each of them has their own secrets and their own truth, all of which are woven into a knot—and all you have to do is pull one thread for them to become even more entangled.

14:35. Thriller, horror, crime. USA 1960, 109 min. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam. In English with Russian subtitles. A secretary named Marion Crane, upset that her lover refuses to make their relationship official, steals a large amount of money at work and rushes away from the city. She stays the night in a secluded motel run by a nice young man named Norman Bates, and this cut-and-dry crime story with a chase turns straight into a bloody and unpredictable horror that violated all the laws of the genre at that time while establishing new ones as it went. One of Hitchcock's greatest masterpieces, this exemplary psychological thriller—which turns 60 this year—is coming to the big screen again.
