14:00. Documentary. France, New Zealand 2019, 103 min. Directed by Justin Pemberton. In English with Russian subtitles. This film is based on the best-selling book by French economist Thomas Piketty. It is a bold, powerful statement on the nature of wealth and power which breaks down the widespread notion that the accumulation of capital goes hand-in-hand with progress. Traveling through time from the French Revolution to the World Wars and other global historical shifts to contemporary pop culture and the development of technology, the film sheds new light on the inner workings of the world around us, growing socioeconomic inequality and a troubling future in which two-thirds of people will be poorer than their parents.

11:50. 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.

21:40. Thriller, Drama. Germany, Italy 2018, 189 min. Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Starring: Tom Schilling, Sebastian Koch, Paula Beer, Saskia Rosendahl, Oliver Masucci. In German with Russian subtitles. A sweeping romantic drama from the director of “The Lives of Others” captures 30 years of German history, seen through the eyes of a brilliant artist. As a child, Kurt was a witness to Nazi crimes and at the same time, first discovered art: the kind that was then called degenerate in his homeland. As a teenager, he found himself on the eastern side of the Berlin Wall and carefully followed the dictates of Socialist Realism until he made a break for freedom and fled to the West. There, he met a woman who became the love of his life — and found out that his father sent people to their death in the gas chambers. This national trauma was forever imprinted in a deeply personal one as well.
