Riko has been working for thirty years at the sausage factory, but he gets no joy either from work, from his home life with Sara — his gorgeous wife, with whom he has no shortage of fights and mutual critiques — or from his best friends, who are ready to support him in any situation. But only when all this falls apart, taking away the last of his certainty in existence itself, Riko decides to make the changes that he’s been waiting for. His story is a real roller-coaster, taking him to the height of happiness and then dropping him into the deepest pit of desperation, but he gets up again and again — and in the end, he finds happiness thanks to his stubbornness and the help of his wife and friends, who all stay together no matter what.

19:15, 23:30. Drama, comedy. USA 2018, 85 min. Directed by Jonah Hill. Starring: Sunny Suljic, Katherine Waterston, Lucas Hedges, Na-kel Smith. In English with Russian subtitles. This is the directorial debut of actor Jonah Hill: a shout-out to the America of his childhood, without cell phones, internet, or social networks, with music on cassettes and amateur home videos on VHS. Nostalgic, but totally not sentimental. 13-year-old Stevie lives with his mother, who’s more interested in her search for a new boyfriend than in her own children, and his older brother, who is raising his little brother primarily with his fists. The boy runs away from his problematic family to the streets of Los Angeles of the mid-90s and makes friends with a rowdy band of skaters. Together with his new friends, Stevie learns every lesson that the streets can teach him: his first drink, his first hit of weed, and his first awkward attempt at sex. In order to impress the boys, he’s ready to do anything — even the most dangerous jump.
