A Faithful Man (L'Homme Fidèle)
14:40, 00:10. Comedy, drama, romance. France 2018, 75 min. Directed by Louis Garrel. Starring: Louis Garrel, Laetitia Casta, Lily-Rose Depp. In French with Russian subtitles. Abel (Louis Garrel) is a journalist torn between two women: he lives with Marianne (Laetitia Casta), who once cheated on him with his best friend Paul, and sleeps with Paul’s young sister Eva (Lily-Rose Depp). The complicated situation unfolds into a series of absurd and dramatic events with one of the characters possibly involved in a crime. Ironic about his now habitual role of a modern lover, Garrel has created a true Truffaut-inspired Parisian story about the vicissitudes of love, masterfully scripted by Jean-Claude Carrière who had worked for Louis Bunuel.

21:45 At Eternity's Gate
Biography, drama. Switzerland, Ireland, UK, France, USA 2019, 110 min. Directed by Julian Schnabel. Starring: Willem Dafoe, Rupert Friend, Oscar Isaac. In English with Russian subtitles. Vincent Van Gogh created one of the most beautiful works of art in history, but for his entire life, he had to overcome skepticism, mockery, illness, and near-poverty, finding no sympathy or understanding on his way. Schnabel, himself an artist, often recreates and in part recreates entirely the last years of Van Gogh’s life onscreen. Thanks to Willem Dafoe’s unbelievable work, for which he received the Volpi Cup at the 2018 Venice Film Festival and was nominated for an Oscar, the artist is presented both as a suffering, scattered, and troubled man and as a nearly godlike figure. This new film from director and Oscar nominee Julian Schnabel is a thrilling journey into an artist’s inner world.

14:15 Ayka
Drama. Russia, Germany, Poland, China, Kazakhstan 2018, 100 min. Directed by Sergei Dvortsevoy. Starring: Samal Yeslyamova, Zhipara Abdilaeva, David Alaverdyan, Nurzhamal Madadalieva.

Samal Yeslyamova won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival. Ayka is a young woman who has come to Moscow illegally for work. After giving birth to a child, she leaves him in the maternity ward and sets off on a grueling trip across the city, covered in grey snow and unsparing towards both its own citizens and those from abroad. She hurries from one dirty, difficult job to another, without a home to call her own, hiding from the criminals to whom she is in debt and the cops who are hunting for migrants. For people like her, in this endless snowy hell, there’s neither hope nor the slightest bit of warmth.

16:40 Capernaüm (Chaos)
Drama. Lebanon, USA 2018, 121 min. Directed byNadine Labaki. Starring: Nadine Labaki, Zain Al Rafeea, Kawsar Al Hadded, Fadi Yousef, Haita Cedra Izzam.

There, he files suit against his parents — all for the crime of bringing him into the world. In telling the stories of the most downtrodden people, the film surprises with its unexpected humor, tenderness, and poetry. In studying the depths of social injustice, it truly touches and still manages to give a glimmer of hope. The film won the jury prize at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film.

18:30 Degas: Passion for Perfection
#ArtInCinemas. Documentary. UK 2018, 90 min. Directed by David Bickerstaff. In English with Russian subtitles. "Exhibition on Screen" journeys from a superb exhibition at The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, whose extensive collection of Degas’ works is the most representative in Britain, to the streets of Paris. With exclusive access to view rare and diverse works, this film tells the fascinating story of Degas’ pursuit for perfection through both experimentation with new techniques and lessons learnt from studying the past masters.Sometimes frustrated by his own failings, Degas was consumed by obsessive principles and failing eye sight but his determination to capture everyday life was evident in every mark he made. Never fully satisfied, many of Degas’ drawings and sculptures were kept in private during his lifetime but, now through close examination, they can be seen as some of the most beautifully detailed and expressive works in the modern era.

19:30 Michelangelo: Love and Death
#ArtInCinemas. Documentary. Great Britain 2017, 91 min. Directed by David Bickerstaff. In English with Russian subtitles. To coincide with a glorious new exhibition at the National Gallery of London, this film offers a full and fresh biography of Michelangelo who, with Leonardo, is considered one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance – and perhaps of all time. This film explores his relationship with his contemporaries and his immense artistic practice that included painting, sculpture and architecture. Among the works explored are the universally adored David in Florence, the Sistine Chapel in Rome and the Manchester Madonna (today at the National Gallery). This major new film goes to the heart of just who was this tempestuous, passionate giant of art history.

Animated. Japan 2018, 104 min. Directed by Takahiro Omori, Hideki Ito. In Japanese with Russian subtitles. From early childhood, Natsume was different from the rest: he saw magical creatures coming unseen into our world. He inherited this ability from his grandmother, the great wizard Reiko.

Natsume has help in dealing with them from his bodyguard spirit, in the form of a sweet kitten. One day, the boy finds a “book of friends” left behind by his grandmother, where she wrote down the names of the spirits that she defeated in duels and mastered. He decides to free them from their curse, but this choice leads to the most unexpected consequences.

Vice
11:30, 19:10, 00:05. Drama, comedy, biography. USA 2018, 132 min. Directed by Adam McKay. Starring: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell, Jesse Plemons. In English with Russian subtitles. The 46th Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney, is one of the most influential politicians of the 20th century, who permanently altered the course of history not just in his own country, but of the entire world. But he wasn’t always like that, when he began his career from the very bottom of the ladder. In his cutting and caustic satire, Adam McKay carefully studies just how persistently and nearly unbeknownst to those around him this quiet Washington bureaucrat climbed the ladder of power, who had his back, whose interests he represented, what brought him to such a career, and how America is dealing with the consequences of his decisions today. The film was nominated for eight Oscars, and Christian Bale already earned a Golden Globe for his starring role, which demanded a complete transformation from him.
