DANSER (premiere) . The new project of Luke Besson, and again super -boom. A rarely happy fate - having felt a creative crisis, the director was retrained into producers, and even continues to register the scripts for his pleasure ... The director of Danser is an unknown, young and promising character. Besson, giving him a ticket to life, modestly added: “I would have the same producer like myself, about fifteen years ago ...” The picture is something like the realistic development of the singer from the “fifth element”, the story of one unexpected career. Aesthetics is again higher than the meaning, and that is right.

Adventures of Rocky and Bulvinkle (Premiere) .

It is almost impossible to predict to children or adults who will be more fun - to children or adults.

Fantasy 2000 (premiere) . The idea of the original "fantasy" of Walt Disney 66, revived for the new audience. Six (here you have three six) brand new plots illustrating as conducted, classical music, are solved in all possible genres of modern animation. The spirit of continuity embodies the immortal and permanent symbol of the Disney studio - Mickey Mouse. The cartoon did not become an event of the 2000 (yet the idea was outdated many years ago), but it still looks good.

Restless witness (premiere) . Over the past twenty years, films with such a plot collision in the United States have been shot in full: to recall at least a “witness” with Harrison Ford and the “client” with Tommy Lee Jones. The story in all cases, with small variations, is the same: the child is present when committing a monstrous crime, after which the villains begin to look for him to destroy the only witness. This time a significant nuance is that a deaf -mute girl acts as a witness. The place of action is also interesting: the European hotel, according to the corridors of which the heroes of the film are chasing each other, are located on the shore of one of the Amsterdam channels. Alas, there are a lot of hotels in the "restless witness", and Amsterdam is not enough.

"Grinch, Christmas kidnapper." In the United States, this is the first of traditional pre-science films to collect $ 200 million in the American box office in the American box office. Moreover, the film is exclusively childish. The plot, a little reminiscent of the brilliant Christmas cartoon, Tim Barton, "The nightmare for Christmas", tells of the Chistshche Grinche. It, the monster, is very evil for all of humanity, which, with its stupid preparations for an incomprehensible winter holiday, prevents the monster. And then the green schmuck Grinch, whose heart is half as much than that of a person, decides to change clothes of Santa Claus (Santa Claus) and abduct Christmas in humanity. One of the reasons for the incredible success of the film: it is placed on the beloved American Christmas fairy tale, completely unknown with us. The second: in the title role - the favorite of children and adults Jim Carrie. Finally, the third: the worthy Oscar made Carrie unrecognizable, and this makeup became essentially the main character of a pretty, completely fairy tale.Karo Film

Passion of Jeanne d'Arc . One of the stage films of the pre -war European cinema, shot in France by the Patriarch of Danish cinema Karl Theodore Dreyer. The atmosphere is completely mystical, although everything happens quite in accordance with the materials of the trial; Here, the restrained tragic Dreyer went around the next classic who decided to “raise the topic”, Robert Bresson. In general, he went around both Panfilov, and of course, Besson. Black and white silent, buying aesthetics as well as possible for the inquisitorial history of torture and death either crazy or saint. In one of the secondary roles, Antonen Arto himself starred.

Ivanovo childhood. According to both aesthetes and faithful Soviet critics, the most wealthy, albeit the first, film by Andrei Tarkovsky. Honored "Golden Leo" at the Venetian festival, which became the indulgence, which partly allowed the director to work on subsequent paintings in the USSR. Tarkovsky turned the tough “military” story of Bogomolov ”about the fate of the reconnaissance boy Tarkovsky into an esoteric journey through the beautiful and frightening spaces of childhood. The horses are in apples by the water, and a boy and a girl run around the water ... The images were imprinted in memory of all the spectators of the sixties; Kolya Burlyaev played his best role.

Virgins-self-servicemen . Quite impressive directorial debut of Sofia Koppola, worthy of the daughter of the great father. The obvious squalor of the plot only shakes the beautiful, convincing, thick atmosphere of the seventies, which, it seems, can be touched with your hands. The story of the five sisters, who suddenly realized that the childhood was over, and an adult life begins; One way to cancel its offensive is to commit suicide. A delicate, nostalgic film, where not only actors help the director - for example, playing the most vivid role since the time of "once in America" James Woods - but also the operator, and especially the authors of amazing, stylized "under the era" of the soundtrack, the French duo Air.
