In Italian with Russian subtitles. Blurring the lines between reality and allegory, Alice Rohrwacher tells the story of a contemporary saint: the young Lazzaro, who is so naive and pure of heart that he is often thought to be a mere fool. In his native village, everything belongs to the cruel “queen of cigarettes,” Marchese De Luna, and the residents are practically her slaves. The Marchese’s son Tancredi runs from home, having engineered his own kidnapping, and a strange friendship strikes up between him and Lazzaro. When he loses track of his friend in the big city, Lazzaro sets off in search of him, making a unique journey through space and time. The film won best screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival.

Thriller. South Korea 2018, 121 min. Directed by Ki-duk Kim. Starring: Keun-Suk Jang, Sung-Jae Lee, Mina Fujii, Sung-ki Ahn, Seung-bum Ryoo, Joe Odagiri. In Korean with Russian subtitles. People from all sorts of backgrounds set sail on a warship, turned into a cruise liner. Here, there's a pair of young newlyweds, a high-ranking politician and his song, a gang of thugs, and students who are only after the baser pleasures in life. On the first night, a bloody conflict erupts, and the following morning sees a tragedy brought on by unknown forces. A brutal fight for survival begins on board the ship, where people turn into real monsters. A new film by the Korean director provocateur: a metaphorical fable about human nature, on which Ki-duk Kim yet again passes uncompromising judgement.
