Happy birthday! " Well done yesterday For those viewers who miss USA cinema, the comedy "Dnyukha!" from the director Roman Karimov, whose "Inadequate People" and "Walk, Vasya!" at one time they earned a rather warm welcome from the public. The main character of the film, Anton, having great fun at his friend's birthday party, wakes up in another city, in the apartment of an unknown girl. There is a void in my head, and the events of yesterday have to be restored exclusively from videos, which are quickly gaining popularity on the Web, but threaten to destroy the hero's personal life. "ДНЮХА" Trailer Apparently, the audience will see a comedy in the spirit of the film "Bitter!" In addition, Timur Bekmambetov and his company were involved in the production of the film, so among the main artistic techniques there will be screen reality, which is so beloved by the filmmaker lately, i.e. numerous videos of the main characters talking on Skype, smartphones, etc. Don't worry, he won't get far. " "Once upon a time there was only one artist ..." Another tape that took a long time to get not only to the USA distribution, but also to the screens in principle - "Don't worry, it won't go far." Development of the film began back in 1998, when Robin Williams bought the rights to film the autobiography of cartoonist John Callahan. Having got into a car accident, the artist was paralyzed and after rehabilitation he learned to paint again.  The film by director and screenwriter Gus Van Sant, shot only 20 years later, tells about what led to this sad incident and how Callahan dealt with life's difficulties. The main role in the biopic was played by Joaquin Phoenix, who was accompanied by Jonah Hill, Rooney Mara and Jack Black. Critics and audiences received the film very warmly, celebrating the beautifully recreated atmosphere of the 70s, dark humor and brilliant performance of Phoenix and Hill, on whose shoulders this simultaneously tragic and inspiring story rests. Blue Iguana ". Hipsters, bullets and stolen bruli For those who were not satisfied with the recent Ocean's 8 and who want to watch a movie about stealing jewelry, albeit not so clever and successful, it's time to go to the British comedy thriller The Blue Iguana.

BLUE IGUANA Dubbed trailer But one day the adventurer Katherine Rookwood looks into their diner and offers to go to London to steal a unique diamond called the Blue Iguana. The film is interesting mainly, of course, with the participation of Oscar-winning Sam Rockwell, who played the role of one of the loser-robbers. And even if it all looks like an ordinary passing crime comedy, fans of the genre may well like it. The Last Mayhem ". All against all Lovers of Asian cinema will not be left out either: they are waiting for the final part of the gangster trilogy of the cult Japanese director Takeshi Kitano - the crime thriller "The Last Mayhem".

Director Takeshi Kitano, as usual, “does not feel sorry for anyone,” so the audience will see a real bloody massacre of the warring yakuza clans, as well as the closing film of the 74th Venice Film Festival and the highest-grossing film in the director's filmography.  Show Mystico ". "For a whole century we have been entertaining the venerable audience ..." The beginning of this year, USA viewers had a chance to meet in the company of Hugh Jackman and his interpretation of the life of Phineas Taylor Barnum, who organized one of the most popular traveling circuses of the 19th century. Now fans of circus stories will have to contemplate the star of French cinema Vincent Cassel in the image of a magician. The film by Brazilian Carlus Diegis, three times nominated for the Palme d'Or, tells about the magical world of the circus and circus dynasty, which began a hundred years ago by the young doctor Fred Kips, who fell in love with the acrobat Beatrice and bought a circus for her. SHOW MYSTIKO Dubbed trailer The film was first shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year, and critics received it very coolly. Of course, there were those who call "The Mystico Show" almost"a masterpiece of magical realism", but the overwhelming majority of reviewers speak of it as"an ambitious but unsuccessful attempt"with too many characters to devote enough time to each of them, as a result of which the story looks ragged and cannot hold the viewer's attention.
