Я шагаю по Москве

"I Am Walking Along Moscow" aka "Ya Shagayu Po Moskve" (1963) is a charming lyrical comedy directed by Georgi Daneliya in 1963 that was nominated for Golden Palm at Cannes Film Festival. Daneliya proved that it is possible to create a masterpiece in the most difficult genre of romantic comedy. Made by the team of young and incredibly talented artists that besides Daneliya included writer/poet Gennady Shpalikov, composer Andrei Petrov, and cinematographer Vadim Yusov (who had made four films with Andrei Tarkovski), and the dream cast of the talented actors even in the smaller cameos, "I Am Walking Along Moscow" keeps walking victoriously through the decades remaining deservingly one of the best and most beloved Russian comedies and simply one of the best Russian movies ever made. Funny and gentle, dreamy and humorous, romantic and realistic, the film is blessed with the eternal youth and will always take to the walk on the streets of Moscow new generations of the grateful viewers.

Суини Тодд, демон-парикмахер с Флит-стрит

Times are hard in 1846 London and one must make do. Nellie Lovett adds something extra to the meat pies she peddles on Fleet Street. The secret ingredient: freshly murdered victims of her partner in crime, barber Sweeney Todd. Composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim refashions a macabre tale into a musical masterwork in this dazzling performance of the 1979 Broadway hit originally staged by Harold Prince. In her Tony-winning role, Angela Lansbury plays Nellie. George Hearn turns his stage role of twisted Sweeney into an Emmy-winning triumph. The score coils around itself in every-tightening spirals. The lines ripple with black humor and madness. Enter Sweeney's tonsorial parlor. Attend the tale. Originally shown on cable by The Entertainment Channel, later rebroadcast by Showtime, and finally aired on the PBS series "Great Performances" (season 12, episode 9).

Бесы

«Бесы» - вольное и эксцентричное прочтение романа Достоевского, созданное двумя однокурсниками, состоявшимися актерами театра и кино Романом Шаляпиным и Евгением Ткачуком. Изначально картина была задумана как памфлет в псевдодокументальном стиле. Непростой монтаж акцентирует внимание зрителя на острой актерской игре, поэтичности этой дебютной картины, заставляет вслушаться в трудности языка Достоевского. Практически идентичный перенос оригинального текста романа, построенного вокруг террористической группировки Верховенского и современность героев подчеркивают вневременность романа.
