17:15, 21:55. Melodrama, Comedy. USA 2019, 92 min. Directed by Woody Allen. Starring: Timothee Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Jude Law, Selena Gomez, Liev Schreiber, Diego Luna. In English with Russian subtitles. Can one rainy day change your life forever? Only Woody Allen can answer that question with his trademark melancholic humor and wise irony. A pair of young, pretty students come to New York for the weekend. She is a timid Arizona native who is supposed to do an interview with a famous film director for her university newspaper. He was born and raised on the Upper East Side and wants to show the girl the romantic New York that she has only ever seen in films. But the events of the day pull them in different directions, introduce them to new people, bring dreams to life and offer temptations that are so difficult to resist in this city — especially when you’re still so young.

15:00. Zurich Ballet 2018, 127 min. Conducted by Paul Connelly. Starring: Dominik Slavkovsky, Michelle Willems, William Moore. In German. Because of Tchaikovsky’s imaginative music, The Nutcracker is one of the most popular works of the ballet repertoire, instantly bringing to mind scenes of a splendidly decorated Christmas room, dancing snowflakes and the waltz of the flowers. The plot of The Nutcracker is based on a novella by E.T.A. Hoffmann, one of the most famous writers of German Romanticism. While Hoffmann’s masterful fairytale virtuously jumps back and forth from a dream to reality, in its adaptation as a ballet libretto by Alexandre Dumas and Marius Petipa, it lost much of its dark romantic fantasy.

14:30. Shakespeare's Globe 2018, 177 min (with one intermission). Directed by Blanche McIntyre. Starring: Will Keen, Oliver Ryan, Luke MacGregor. In English. In a fit of groundless jealousy, Leontes wrecks his marriage, defies the gods, destroys his family and ruins himself. As the years roll around, a new generation flee their own country and take refuge in Sicilia. Unknowingly they bring with them the key to the past, present and future… A ‘winter’s tale’ is a fantasy, and The Winter’s Tale is Shakespeare’s great play of the irrational and inexplicable. The play’s uncontrollable emotions – rage, love, grief and forgiveness – range across gender, country, class and age. Its universe is full of monsters, gods and natural disasters, and its colossal sweep takes us from stifling courts to unbuttoned festivals. Blanche McIntyre has recently worked at the Donmar Warehouse, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Chichester Festival Theatre. She directed The Comedy of Errors and As You Like It at the Globe in 2014 and 2015.
