Nanny 2 (UK-France-USA, 2010, Suzanne White). The second in a series of film adaptations of children's books by Christianne Brand about the sorceress nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson - The Remains of the Day, Love Actually, Harry's Last Chance, she is also the author of the script), the owner of strict principles and a wart on her nose. This time she comes to the aid of soldier Mrs. Greene (Maggie Gyllenhaal - “Mad Cecil B,” “Secretary,” “The Dark Knight”), who is waiting for her husband from the front, to cope with her own children, as well as their fallen as out of the blue and completely unbearable cousins. Very cute (like the first series) and a typically English children's movie - at the same time moralizing and anarchist, prim and eccentric. There are also flying piglets, which are always nice to see, especially since they do not appear in every modern film. Also starring Ralph Fiennes, Ewan McGregor, Rhys Ifans, Nonso Anotsi, Bill Bailey, Katie Brand, Asa Butterfield, Sam Kelly and Maggie Smith.“The Great Voyage to the Deep Oceans 3-D: The Return” (UK - Austria - Germany, 2009, Nick Stringer). Naturalist director Stringer, who made his debut in 2001 with Anthrax: Our Bodies Under Siege and has since worked extensively for National Geographic, traces in 3D the path of a turtle born on a Florida beach through the Gulf Stream around the North Atlantic to Africa and back to its small homeland. . Along the way, she (and at the same time the audience) has to meet almost all representatives of the oceanic fauna and enjoy the unimaginable beauties of the underwater world. In the original version, the voiceover is read by two-time Oscar nominee Miranda Richardson.
“Marriage” (Russia, 2009, Konstantin Siliverstov). An avant-garde fantasy on the themes of Gogol’s play from the director of an equally avant-garde fantasy on the theme of “Scenes from the Life of Bohemia” by Henri Musset and the author of the prose collection “I am experienced in love and pure art.” Starring Vladimir Tyminsky, Alexander Granovetsky, Elena Shvareva, Anna Dzygalo, Polina Malakhova, Victoria Alalykina and Nikolai Mikenin.
“Dream in Italian” (Italy - France, 2009, Michele Placido). Social retro melodrama, the ninth directorial exercise of “Commissioner Cattani”, the plot paradoxically reminiscent of Mikhail Krug’s song “Fraer”: in Rome, engulfed in student unrest in 1968, a young policeman Nicola, dreaming of a career as an actor (Riccardo Scamarico - “Now or Never”, “ Crime Novel", "Tales of a Strip Club") meets student activist and sexual revolutionary Laura (Yasmina Trinca - "Son's Room", "Crime Novel", "Ultimatum"). But no feelings can save their relationship after Laura finds out where Nicola serves. At Venice 2009, Scamarico received the Marcello Mastroianni Prize, and Trinca received a special mention. Also starring Luca Argentero, Massimo Popolizio, Alessandro Acciai, Laura Morante and Silvio Orlando.
