The new "Love-Carrot", the story of Caravaggio and a horror film about the sins of nuns: what to watch in the cinema this week

"Love-Carrot: Rise of the Machines"

In the fourth part of the franchise "Love-Carrot", the Golubeva spouses will again exchange bodies, but this time with robots.

Marina and Andrey cannot agree on how to raise their son, who cannot live without gadgets. The couple constantly quarrels, which leads them to the already familiar result: they wake up in the bodies of android guides. Now, in order to return life to the usual course, the heroes will have to come to an understanding on the issue of raising children and not let the robots in their bodies ruin the family. The situation is further complicated by the fact that mechanical minds like to stay in human form and they do not want to return to their former existence.

The main roles, as in the previous parts, were played by Gosha Kutsenko and Kristina Orbakaite. According to "TV Program", the idea to change robots with characters belonged to Kutsenko.

"Renat Davletyarov (producer and co-author of the franchise script. - RT) once said to me: think about it, maybe you will come up with some idea for the continuation of our triad "Carrots"? I once drove a car at night and thought about robots, and as a result, I had this idea, "the publication quotes the actor.

The director of the tape was Andrei Volgin, who previously worked on the mini-series "Run!" and the film "Balkan Frontier".

The first part of the history of the Golubev family was released in 2007.

«Aita»

The basis of the action-packed thriller directed by Yakutia Stepan Burnashev was a story from the life of his brother.

The film takes place almost entirely in the police station of one of the settlements of Yakutia, where a young girl named Aita, the daughter of a local hunter, died. All evidence points to the guilt of a police officer of Russian origin Afonya, who drove the girl on the day of her death. The villagers dislike him, because they consider him an outsider, and want to arrange a lynching, without waiting for the results of the investigation. A local investigator takes up the case and takes the necessary measures to ensure the safety of Afoni. However, over time, he begins to doubt the correctness of his actions.

According to the director, he had been nurturing the idea of the film for a long time.

"I was told by my second cousin – this is his own story, he was working as an investigator at the time. I went with her for many years until I finally wrote the script. Naturally, I changed the details so that it would be impossible to know – this would be unethical to those who have experienced all this. And I left the plot outline, "Kommersant quotes Stepan Burnashev as saying.

The filmmaker noted that each viewer will see something of his own in the plot - "someone will be touched upon the issue of the relationship between fathers and children, someone will see there the problem of chauvinism that exists in our world."

The film "Aita" received an award for the best director at the I festival of Russian auteur cinema "Winter".

Shadow of Caravaggio (L'ombra di Caravaggio)

The action of the biographical drama directed by Michele Placido ("The Observer") takes place in Italy of the XVII century. The artist Caravaggio was known at that time not only for his work, but also for his short temper. He often participated in fights and was in prison. After the murder of Ranuccio's rival in Rome, Caravaggio was sentenced to death, but he managed to escape death by hiding in Naples.

In the film, for the sake of returning to the capital, the artist begs Pope Paul V for forgiveness, appealing that he was simply defending himself. The pope, meanwhile, learning that Caravaggio has defied the church by choosing to use prostitutes, beggars and thieves as sitters when working on the holy images, entrusts the collection of information about him to a secret agent of the Vatican. He temporarily becomes a shadow of a scandalous artist.

The role of the talented and flighty Caravaggio in the film was played by Riccardo Scamarcho ("John Wick 2"). The film also starred Michaela Ramazzotti, Isabelle Huppert, Louis Garrel, Lolita Shamma and others. The director of the picture also appeared on the screen - he played Cardinal Francesco del Monte, a supporter of Caravaggio.

Shadow, the Vatican's secret agent, is the only fictional character in the film. All other characters have real historical prototypes. In an interview with the portal Arte.it Michele Placido said that the Shadow is a collective image inspired by censorship, the church, the Inquisition and all the people who condemned at that time Caravaggio's decision to turn people from poor strata of the population into saints in his paintings.

Bholaa

Bollywood director and actor Ajay Devgan ("RRR: Revolution Roars Nearby"), shot an action-packed action movie, in which he played the main role. This is Devgan's fourth directorial work - he previously directed such projects as "You, Me and Us", "I Swear to Shiva" and "Strip 34".

"Bhola" is a remake of the Indian film called "The Prisoner", released in 2019. The plot of the new tape also focuses on a prisoner who is preparing to meet his daughter after release, but gets into trouble. To see the child, he will have to help the police catch the criminals.

As the director of the picture said in an interview with Variety, the main storyline is untouched, but the team changed many characters.

"The main storyline we have remains similar. We love this story: obviously that's why remakes are made. We changed a lot of the characters, slightly reinterpreted the script and the characteristics of the people. Drama has become somewhat different, emotions have changed - I would say that somewhere they have become stronger, more pronounced, "Variety quotes Ajay Devgan.

The director admitted that viewers can expect the continuation of the film with new characters.

The roles in Bhole were played by Taboo, Sanjay Mishra, Amala Pol, Kieran Kumar, Jahangir Khan and other Bollywood stars.

"Damn. Consecration

In the center of the plot of the detective horror film is a young ophthalmologist Grace. Having received news of the suicide of her brother-priest, she goes to a monastery in the outback of Scotland, where the tragedy occurred. From a pathologist, Grace learns that her brother was badly frightened and beaten to death. The heroine decides to stay in the monastery and try to reveal the truth about the death of her brother. As a result, she learns the dark secrets of the nuns, as well as the disturbing truth about herself.

The film was directed by British director Christopher Smith ("Triangle", "Black Death", "Alex Ryder"). As he said in an interview with ScreenRant, the work on the film was in a picturesque area with a cliff and a seascape that inspired the whole team. Scenes in the monastery were filmed in a real church, which also created a certain atmosphere.

"The next three quarters of the film we shot in a real secularized monastery. It was a real church, all in one place. It felt like we were almost in the most expensive, gorgeous studio that we didn't have to build. And besides, the church is real, and this, in fact, also fits into the overall picture. So yes, I am very proud of this, as you said, mystical aesthetics, "the director of the picture noted.

The role of the main character was played by actress Jena Malone, known for the films of the Hunger Games franchise and the film Under the Cover of Night.
