Comedy, romance. Italy 2018, 100 min. Directed by Luciano Ligabue. Starring: Stefano Accorsi, Kasia Smutniak, Fausto Maria Sciarappa, Walter Leonardi, Filippo Dini. In Italian with Russian subtitles. 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.

Documentary. UK 2018, 109 min. Directed by David Morris, Jacqui Morris. In English with Russian subtitles. This striking and moving documentary from BAFTA nominated directors, Jacqui and David Morris, traces the extraordinary life of Rudolf Nureyev, the most famous male dancer that transcended fame in the dance world to become a pop culture icon of his time. It charts his rise from humble beginnings, to his eventual defection to the West, an event that shocked the world. The film contextualises not just the man but also the times in which he lived, discussing the politically charged divide between Russia and the West and the critical role that Nureyev played as a cultural and global phenomena. Blending never-before-seen footage, an original score by award-winning composer Alex Baranowski, and a spellbinding series of exclusive modern dance tableaux directed by Royal Ballet alumnus Russell Maliphant, "Nureyev" is a theatrical and cinematic experience like no other biopic.
