00:10. Thriller. France, Germany 2019, 120 min. Directed by Dominik Moll. Starring: Denis Menochet, Laure Calamy, Damien Bonnard, Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Bastien Bouillion, Valeria Bruni Tedesci. In French with Russian subtitles. Evelyne Ducat disappears without a trace during a snowstorm in the Alps. The next morning, her empty car is found on the road to a remote village. The police don't know how to begin the investigation, but gradually find out that five people are involved in Evelyn's disappearance: a farmer and a nurse, grieving in an unhappy marriage; a strange patient; a waitress suffering from unrequited love; and a young African, living thousands of kilometers away from all of them. Each of them has their own secrets and their own truth, all of which are woven into a knot—and all you have to do is pull one thread for them to become even more entangled.

09:50. Thriller, horror, crime. USA 1960, 109 min. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam. In English with Russian subtitles. A secretary named Marion Crane, upset that her lover refuses to make their relationship official, steals a large amount of money at work and rushes away from the city. She stays the night in a secluded motel run by a nice young man named Norman Bates, and this cut-and-dry crime story with a chase turns straight into a bloody and unpredictable horror that violated all the laws of the genre at that time while establishing new ones as it went. One of Hitchcock's greatest masterpieces, this exemplary psychological thriller—which turns 60 this year—is coming to the big screen again.

The Metropolitan Opera. USA 2020, 225 min. Conductor: David Robertson. Starring: Eric Owens, Angel Blue, Denyce Graves. In English with Russian subtitles. The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess returns to the Met for the first time since 1990, in a new production directed by James Robinson in his company debut. America’s “folk opera,” as the 1935 creators described it, tells the story of disabled beggar Porgy, sung by Eric Owens, and his love for the drug-addicted Bess, portrayed by Angel Blue. David Robertson conducts a stellar cast that also includes Donovan Singletary as fisherman Jake, Golda Schultz as his wife Clara, Latonia Moore as the bereaved widow Serena, Frederick Ballentine as drug dealer Sportin’ Life, Alfred Walker as the brutal stevedore Crown, and Denyce Graves as Maria, town matriarch and operator of the local cook-shop. Infused with the timeless melodies of the much-loved classics “Summertime,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now,” “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin,” and “My Man’s Gone Now,” the new co-production with English National Opera and Dutch National Opera was hailed as a triumph at its premiere in London earlier this year.
