In English with Russian subtitles. Bill and Alice Harford are an ideal married couple, living a calm and unperturbed life that lacks for nothing. But one night, the wife admits to her husband that she feels unsatisfied. Addled with jealously, Bill sets off on a journey through the city at night, full of mystery, seduction and forbidden fantasies where the line between dream and reality becomes more and more blurred—until it disappears entirely. The great Stanley Kubrick’s last masterpiece, a provocative study of the depths of the human psyche. Screenings will be preceded by a new 8-minute documentary film, “Never Just a Dream: Stanley Kubrick and ‘Eyes Wide Shut.’”

00:20. Drama. France 2019, 102 min. Directed by Ladj Ly. Starring: Damien Bonnard, Alexis Manenti, Djibril Zonga, Issa Perica, Al-Hassan Ly. In French with Russian subtitles. Stephane begins service in the Montfermeil police. At one point, this Paris banlieue was inhabited by the characters of Hugo’s novel, but now it’s full of migrants. Poverty, crime, and social injustice are as prevalent now as they were 200 years ago, but now with the addition of racial and religious intolerance. In order to stand up to local gangs, the police themselves sometimes resort to less-than-legal methods, and one of those cases begins a down-and-out war on the streets of the neighborhood. The film won the Jury Prize at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.

15:00. Theatre production. Comedy. 160 min. Directed by Matthew Warchus. Set and costume designer: Rob Howell. In English with Russian subtitles. Matthew Warchus directs Andrew Scott (BBC’s Sherlock, Fleabag) in Noël Coward’s provocative comedy Present Laughter. As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching. Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Present Laughter is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

17:00. Ballet in two acts to music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. 135 min (with one intermission). Libretto by Yuri Grigorovich. Choreographer: Yuri Grigorovich. One of the peaks of Tchaikovsky’s work and the quintessence of his style, The Nutcracker explicitly shows the composer’s approach to the genre. Mostly thanks to Tchaikovsky and Petipa ballet acquired single dramaturgy like symphony music, based on the contrast and interaction of the main themes and images. In over 120 years The Nutcracker has been staged in many great theatres and by many great choreographers. “The brilliant symphony of childhood” (Boris Asaev), The Nutcracker is still one of the most beautiful music fairy tales about good overpowering evil.
