THE WHITE CROW

In cinemas on 29 August 2019.

By Ralph Fiennes, with Oleg Ivenko, Ralph Fiennes, Louis Hofmann, Adèle Exarchopoulos.

A young man of just 22, dressed in a black beret and a dark narrow suit, is on an airplane flying from St Petersburg to Paris. It is 1961 and Rudolf Nureyev, not yet the imperious figure of legend, is a member of the world-renowned Kirov Ballet Company, travelling for the first time outside the Soviet Union. Parisian life delights Nureyev and the young dancer is eager to consume all the culture, art and music the dazzling city has to offer. But the KGB officers who watch his every move become increasingly suspicious of his behavior and his friendship with the young Parisienne Clara Saint. When they finally confront Nureyev with a shocking demand, he is forced to make a heart-breaking decision, one that may change the course of his life forever and put his family and friends in terrible danger...

From Nureyev’s poverty-stricken childhood in the Soviet city of Ufa, to his blossoming as a student dancer in Leningrad, to his arrival at the epicentre of western culture in Paris in the early 1960s and a nail-biting stand-off at the Le Bourget airport, THE WHITE CROW is the true story of an incredible journey by a unique artist who transformed the world of ballet forever.

LE MIRACLE DU SAINT INCONNU

In cinemas on 05 September 2019.

By Alaa Eddine Aljem, with Hassan Ben Bdida, Anas El Baz, Mohamed Naimane.

Amine steals a big bag of money and escapes into the hills with the police hot on his trail. Before he is arrested, he digs a grave to bury the cash and disguises it as a modest tomb. Years later, Amine is released from prison and sets off to find his money. In the meantime, a religious shrine has been built directly over the place he buried his cash. The mausoleum honors an unknown saint from the region whose tomb was recently discovered. Down the hill from the resting place of the “The Unknown Saint”, a new village subsists on the pilgrims who travel from far and wide to visit the mausoleum. Amine settles into the village and begins plotting a way in. But with the loot now hidden in a holy place, retrieving it suddenly becomes much more complicated.

IT CHAPTER 2

In cinemas on 05 September 2019.

By Andy Muschietti, with Bill Skarsgård, James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain.

Evil resurfaces in Derry as director Andy Muschietti reunites the Losers Club—young and adult—in a return to where it all began with IT CHAPTER TWO. The film is Muschietti’s follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed and massive worldwide box office hit IT, which grossed over $700 million globally. Both redefining and transcending the genre, IT became part of the cultural zeitgeist as well as the highest-grossing horror film of all time.

Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, IT CHAPTER TWO brings the characters—who’ve long since gone their separate ways—back together as adults, nearly three decades after the events of the first film.

LATE NIGHT

In cinemas on 05 September 2019.

By Nisha Ganatra, with Emma Thompson, Mindy Kaling, John Lithgow.

Legendary talk-show host Katherine Newbury is a pioneer in her field. The only woman ever to have a long-running program on late night, she keeps her writers’ room on a short leash - and all male. But when her ratings plummet and she is accused of being a “woman who hates women,” Katherine puts gender equality on her to-do list and impulsively hires Molly Patel, a chemical plant efficiency expert from suburban Pennsylvania, as the first and only female on her writing staff. With rumors swirling that Katherine is being replaced by a younger, hipper male host, she demands that the writers make her funny and relevant again. A lifelong fan, Molly is determined to prove she’s not just a diversity hire, but the one person who can turn her idol’s career around...

Einige Wochen und viele gesendete und empfangene Nachrichten später wird daraus eine virtuelle Freundschaft. Leo und Emma beschliessen zunächst, ihre Verbindung rein digital zu belassen als eine kleine Flucht vor dem Alltag – denn Leo kommt einfach nicht von seiner Ex-Freundin Marlene los und Emma ist mit Bernhard verheiratet und hat zwei Stiefkinder. Dennoch: Die beiden vertrauen sich ihr Innerstes an und kommen sich auf dem schmalen Grat zwischen totaler Fremdheit und unverbindlicher Intimität immer näher. Und da stellt sich die Frage, ob sie sich nicht doch mal Angesicht zu Angesicht treffen sollten...
