"Eight Hundred" is a Chinese military epic, loosely recounting the events of 1937: then a small detachment of soldiers in Shanghai heroically defended a piece of land from the huge imperial army of Japan. Blockbusters from the Middle Kingdom have long been leading their cinematic expansion, and "Eight Hundred" is probably one of the most ambitious films to come out of China.

A big, loud and bright movie: no one in post-tandem Hollywood has ever allowed themselves to do this.

Two symmetrical but so different stories about falling in love, everyday life and escapism-beautifully shot by cameraman Christopher Doyle and accompanied by the iconic California Dreamin ' song by The Mamas & the Papas.

In the role of Marceau, Jesse Eisenberg shines, finally returning to complex dramatic roles.

"The great-grandmother of easy behavior" tells about Vova Rubinstein — apparently, the father of the hero of the previous parts — who in the 80s trades illegal concerts, where he disguises himself as pop stars. The Soviet secret services come to him and turn him into an undercover agent.

Now Vova must get hold of some secret chemical that threatens the country's security — and all this against the backdrop of the rumbling 1980 Olympics.

For new adventures, he goes to the city — as once did in his sequel, Babe, another intelligent beast from the successful franchise for children. Naturally, his journey does not go according to plan as much as it is possible in principle, and other rabbits, as well as the compassionate Beatrice (Rose Byrne), are put forward to save him.

Judging by the synopsis, the plot of the second "Peter Rabbit" does not promise any discoveries: but not for innovation in the end, and the first part was loved by small viewers.

Suspiciously quiet and without marketing hype, a new film by Taylor Sheridan, the director of Wind River and creator of the beloved Yellowstone series, is being released (in the United States — immediately on HBO Max).

Alexander Molochnikov shot an autobiographical drama about the difficult divorce of his parents, but he did it without any strain: on the contrary, the picture is very restrained and warm. In intonation, it is more reminiscent of Hollywood indie films than a typical Russian festival, which is interesting, because a significant part of the story here takes place just in America.

One of the main premieres of the month is the postponed blockbuster "Fast and Furious 9", which promises to go as far as possible from its street-racing basis.

The ninth part in general should open a new trilogy, which will be the finale of the franchise. Its plot is both intriguing and puzzling: the main villain of the new film will be a certain Jacob, played by wrestler John Cena, Dominic's brother, who was expelled from the family for something a long time ago.

The creators promise to break the laws of physics, but a spectacular action, which we have already missed because of the pandemic movie drought, and they tease fans with shots of the heroes flying into the stratosphere. Jokes about "Fast and Furious" in space no longer seem funny.

A stumbling block was the ideological component of the "New Order": the luxurious wedding of the rich from Mexico City is invaded by starving and impoverished residents of the city, after which they take the guests of the event hostage and mock them.

The film, which begins as a social horror about class division, quickly becomes dull and turns into a parody of the work of Michael Haneke.

The plot seems painfully familiar: the characters move to a new home, and then, as usual, it turns out with its own sinister surprise.

However, despite the unoriginal synopsis, we treat the film with curiosity — in the end, the Yakut cinema still" Scarecrow " proved that it works much better with mysticism than directors from central Russia.

The director of" Carp Frostbite " Vladimir Kott took up metakino about making films — his own, if you like, ironic answer to the immortal "8 and a half" by Federico Fellini.

According to the plot, Mitya, the director of seedy TV series, escapes from another film set — the fault is a deep creative crisis, expressed in the ghost of Marcello Mastroianni himself, the leading character on the path of self-exploration.

During this time, the story of Patrick McMurphy, a conman posing as a mentally ill person, has not lost any of its artistic power. This is still an outstanding anti-totalitarian parable and a great tragedy about a man who dared to challenge the system and was expected to lose.

Finally, it is simply a film in which Jack Nicholson played perhaps the best role of his career.

The company "Pioneer" continues to introduce Russian viewers to the masterpieces of Hayao Miyazaki. Next up is probably his most "childish", but at the same time one of the most beautiful films,"Ponyo Fish on the Cliff".

This is a touching story of a boy who is friends with a strange girl: either a man, or a fish, the daughter of a sea sorcerer.
