Drama/Biography. Austria, Luxembourg 2016, 110 min. Directed by Dieter Berner. Starring: Noah Saavedra, Maresi Riegner, Valerie Pachner. In German with Russian subtitles. At the beginning of the 20th Century Egon Schiele is one of the most provocative artists in Vienna. His life and work are driven by beautiful women and an era that is coming to an end. Two women will have a lasting impact on him - his sister and first muse Gerti, and 17 year old Wally, arguably Schiele's one true love, immortalized in his famous painting 'Death and the Maiden'. Schiele's radical paintings scandalize Viennese society while daring artists like Gustav Klimt and art agents alike are sensing the exceptional. But Egon Schiele is also prepared to go beyond his own pain and to sacrifice Love and Life for his Art. Art that inspires us up to this day. Awards: Austrian Film Award - Best Actress.

21:30 | Billy Wilder Retrospective: Kiss Me, Stupid |
|
|
|
|
Comedy. USA 1964, 124 min. Directed by Billy Wilder. Starring: Dean Martin, Kim Novak, Ray Walston. In English with Russian subtitles. There's a sensation in backwoods Climax, Nevada: famous singer Dino (Dean Martin, practically playing himself), who is passing through the town, has to stop because of car trouble. A mechanic and a music teacher, who compose songs together and dream of fame, decide to take advantage of the opportunity and puts him up in the latter's house. Having sent his beloved wife to his mother-in-law, he invites a girl by the name of Polly the Pistol and stocks up on wine: while Dino flirts with his "wife," the music teacher, Orville, plays the piano non-stop. Initially, the roles of Orville and Polly the Pistol were supposed to be played by Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, the stars of "Some Like it Hot," but the former's hectic schedule and the latter's untimely death forced Billy Wilder to delay filming. The new cast ended up outstanding: Walston and Novak played one of the most complex comedies in the history of middle America. And that’s without considering Dean Martin – in the director's words, the funniest man in Hollywood.

19:30 | Exhibition on Screen: Rembrandt |
|
|
|
|
Exhibition film. Great Britain 2014, 96 min. Directed by Phil Grabsky. In English with Russian subtitles. Every Rembrandt exhibition is eagerly anticipated, but this major new show hosted by London’s National Gallery and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum is an event like no other. Given exclusive, privileged access to both galleries, the film documents this landmark exhibition whilst interweaving Rembrandt’s life story with the behind-the-scenes preparations at these world famous institutions. The exhibition focuses on the highlights from the final years of Rembrandt’s life, commonly thought to be his finest years. The masterpieces he produced during this period could be called his defining works, with each piece so soulful and honest that they helped sculpt our idea of Rembrandt as a man and as an artist. This film explores each of the exhibition’s key works, through contributions from specially invited guests including curators and leading art historians. For many, Rembrandt is the greatest artist that ever lived and this film seeks to explore the truth about the man behind the legend.

The scandalous premiere that immediately followed and the youth revolution that sparked up in May 1968 drag this uncompromising protagonist into the depths of revolution...An ambitious, clever biopic about the great French director, filmed by Michel Hazanavicius (the mind behind the sensational "The Artist"). A balding Louis Garrel plays a slightly-comic Godard; Stacy Martin, of "Nymphomaniac" fame, plays Anne Wiazemsky.
