Along with the onset of winter, the first week of December will bring us new releases. The first “winter” films offer a wide range of options to suit any audience taste:

- Thrilling and suspenseful: the American remake of the Japanese horror film “Room 1303”, and the continuation of the American thriller-horror series “The Collector 2”.

- Adventure and romance: the French film starring Hollywood actress Diane Kruger, “Married for 2 Days”; a new work from director Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump”, “Cast Away”) featuring Denzel Washington in the lead role, the drama “Flight”.

- Drama and comedy: “The Man Who Is Always Busy” starring a cast of Hollywood stars led by Gerard Butler; the British adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel “Wuthering Heights”; and finally, the Russian film “What’s Happening to Me?” starring Gocha Kutsenko.

December 31st. The impossible traffic jams in Moscow. Hurrying to no avail, seeking help that never brings any relief… Conversations about the endless trivialities that make up daily life—or perhaps that have already passed it by. About a father who has nothing left, and nothing can be done to change that. About the dreams of a fifteen-year-old girl: maybe she’ll become an oncologist, maybe a food designer… And about what happened in the past, and what is happening now.
