Drama, war. UK, USA 2019, 110 min. Directed by Matthew Heineman. Starring: Rosamund Pike, Greg Wise, Alexandra Moen. In English with Russian subtitles. In a world where journalism is under attack, Marie Colvin (Rosamund Pike) is one of the most celebrated war correspondents of our time. Colvin is an utterly fearless and rebellious spirit, driven to the frontlines of conflicts across the globe to give voice to the voiceless, while constantly testing the limits between bravery and bravado. After being hit by a grenade in Sri Lanka, she wears a distinctive eye patch and is still as comfortable sipping martinis with London's elite as she is confronting dictators. Colvin sacrifices loving relationships, and over time, her personal life starts to unravel as the trauma she's witnessed takes its toll. Yet, her mission to show the true cost of war leads her - along with renowned war photographer Paul Conroy (Jamie Dornan) - to embark on the most dangerous assignment of their lives in the besieged Syrian city of Homs.

Emanuele Imbucci’s innovative and original work combines historical veracity and fresh emotions. Michelangelo himself, along with the first great art historian, Giorgio Vasari, come alive onscreen, giving us the chance to see how great masterpieces came to be: the Pieta, the statue of David, and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Thanks to innovative technologies, these works are filmed in a way that makes it seem as though it were possible to touch them with an outstretched hand, discovering and marveling anew at the genius who created them.

They settle in a luxurious mansion confiscated from a German architect, which is just as full of fresh traces of war as the city’s streets and the country as a whole. To Rachael’s surprise, Lewis allows the previous owner and their daughter to keep living with them under one roof. But can the former enemies forget the hatred that until recently separated them? In the tense atmosphere, full of personal losses and the struggles of the postwar era, enmity and sorrow give way to passion, which is invariably followed by betrayal.
