09:45. 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.

The Metropolitan Opera 2017, 172 min (with one intermission). Directed by Bartlett Sher. Conductor: Gianandrea Noseda. Starring: Diana Damrau, Vittorio Grigolo, Elliot Madore. Sung in French. A La Scala Production, initially presented by the Salzburg Festival. When Diana Damrau and Vittorio Grigolo starred opposite each other in Manon at the Met in 2015, the New York Times said, “the temperature rises nearly to boiling every time Damrau and Grigolo are on stage together.” Now they’re back as opera’s classic lovers, in Gounod’s lush Shakespeare adaptation. The production, by director Bartlett Sher, has already won acclaim for its vivid 18th-century milieu and stunning costumes during runs at Salzburg and La Scala. Gianandrea Noseda conducts the sumptuous score. Watch online here.
