Kinosreda | Secret Society wish you a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas! Our next film screening (as always in original language i.e. in English with Russian subtitles) will take place on - Wednesday, January 14th, at 7:30 PM, in the welcoming art space Debri, 14, building 3, Derbenevskaya Street. Film selection by Boris Baranov: I was recommended this film last summer, but I couldn’t find it anywhere in the original language. Now I want to finally, as they say, “close the gestalt.” From what I was told: don’t watch the film superficially—as just an old-fashioned Irish melodrama… Four Letters of Love UK / Ireland Director: Polly Steele Screenplay: Niall Williams Producers: Douglas Cummins, Debbie Gray, Caitlin Albury Bevan Cinematography: Damien Elliott Music: Ann Nikitin Production: John Leslie, Simon Baxter, Ellen Turley, and others Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Helena Bonham Carter, Gabriel Byrne, Donal Finn, Olwen Fouéré, Michelle Lucie, Imelda May, Pat Short, Norma Sheehan The opening of the film reminded me of Moon and Sixpence (and I do love Maugham): "Dublin, 1971. After 17 years in a dull office job, middle-aged William Coughlan (Pierce Brosnan) decides to leave his dreary work behind and take up painting." What happens next, we’ll find out together on January 14th at Debri. Suggested donation: 300–500 rubles (to help cover the cost of renting the space) Feel free to bring your favorite drinks and snacks. Please note: at Debri, it’s customary to remove your shoes at the entrance. Slippers are available in the hallway, or you’re welcome to bring your own.
