Action, adventure, fantasy. USA 2018, 143 min. Directed by James Wan. Starring: Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe. In English with Russian subtitles. From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, "Aquaman," starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime - one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be... a king.

Thriller. South Korea 2018, 121 min. Directed by Ki-duk Kim. Starring: Keun-Suk Jang, Sung-Jae Lee, Mina Fujii, Sung-ki Ahn, Seung-bum Ryoo, Joe Odagiri. In Korean with Russian subtitles. People from all sorts of backgrounds set sail on a warship, turned into a cruise liner. Here, there's a pair of young newlyweds, a high-ranking politician and his song, a gang of thugs, and students who are only after the baser pleasures in life. On the first night, a bloody conflict erupts, and the following morning sees a tragedy brought on by unknown forces. A brutal fight for survival begins on board the ship, where people turn into real monsters. A new film by the Korean director provocateur: a metaphorical fable about human nature, on which Ki-duk Kim yet again passes uncompromising judgement.

Drama. Japan 2018, 121 min. Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. Starring: Kirin Kiki, Lily Franky, Sôsuke Ikematsu, Sakura Andô, Mayu Matsuoka. In Japanese with Russian subtitles. “Shoplifters” is a film by today’s leading Japanese director, Hirakazu Koreeda, which won this year’s Palme d’Or at Cannes – the biggest award in the film world. A subtle and multi-faceted story about a family and the nature of kinship – which is not always connected with blood relations – set by the director on the outskirts of Tokyo. Here lives a company of rakish thieves that have forged themselves a family and who are taking care of an abandoned girl at the beginning of the film. "Shoplifters", modest and seemingly traditionally filmed (though this quiet film is actually radical in terms of its most important message), is an aesthetic shape-shifter: it is a musing on social mores which often are in direct conflict with actually goodness, and a family film, and an attempt to figure out what familial love really is, and on what basis people will be connected in the future.
