The Lighthouse
- Genre: Horror, Fantasy, Drama
- Rating: KinoPoisk - 7.1, IMDb - 7.6
- Canada, USA
- For the role, actor Willem Dafoe learned to knit.
Why is the movie "Lighthouse" fashionable? All the positive aspects of the picture rest on two components - powerful visuals and amazing acting. Director Robert Eggers together with cameraman Jarin Blaschke took an extraordinary approach to shooting, making everything "antique". The black and white square picture is an extraordinary visual component that not only refers to the old cinema of the 20-30s of the XX century, but also creates a strong sense of isolation, which causes an oppressive feeling of discomfort during viewing. It is impossible not to mention the presence of a magnificent play of light and shadow.

The despotic and arrogant Wake entrusts the young man with the dirtiest work, not letting him near his intended "wife" - the lantern. The modest and taciturn Winslow has nerves of steel, but even they cannot withstand the mockery of the hardened caretaker and loneliness. In addition to this, strange things begin to appear to him ... Maybe the whole point is that he is addicted to alcohol? Or is there something else involved?

- Russia
- The plot of the film is based on the biography of the Russian athlete Natalia Molchanova, the world champion and record holder in freediving.
Why is One Breath so trendy? Most of the events take place in the water, so the filmmakers had an important task - to shoot these scenes beautifully and effectively. For this purpose, freediving champions and record holders were involved: director Julie Gaultier and her husband Guillaume Néry. Thanks to their incredible talent, they managed to create not only impressive episodes under water, but also for the first time in the history of Russian cinema to dive to 100 meters - this is the record depth of Natalia Molchanova.

- Genre: Thriller, Drama, Comedy
- Rating: KinoPoisk - 8.0, IMDb - 8.6
- South Korea
- For her role in the film, actress Jang Hye-jin gained 15 kg.
"Parasites" is the first foreign film in the history of the American Oscar. Unexpected transitions from the comic to the tragic, from the absurd to the dull everyday life, from the low to the high, which do not break the thread of the narrative at all, are signs of a genius cinema. Despite the fact that the picture is replete with absurd and sometimes fantastic moments, the film is very true. On the screen, they directly say what is not customary to discuss in public, but which is shyly whispered about in a circle of loved ones. Everything in the tape is great: from the plot, the great acting to the brilliant editing and stunning transitions between scenes.
Parasite is one of the more interesting films on the list that some have missed, but definitely worth watching. Instead of luxury and heavenly pleasures, fate presented the Kim family with poverty and ruin. The heroes live in a damp basement, there is no permanent job - they have to interrupt occasional part-time jobs. One day a family friend invites his friend to replace him and work for a high school student in the wealthy Pak family. The guy willingly agrees and goes to a chic mansion, where he makes a positive impression on the mistress of the house. Over time, the entire family of poor people cunningly gets a job in the house of the rich.
The Invisible Man
- Genre: Fantasy, Thriller, Detective, Horror
- Rating: KinoPoisk - 6.4, IMDb - 7.1
- Canada, Australia, USA
- The slogan of the film is "The invisible is fraught with danger."
In the film, the creators decided to play with the expectation of the audience, which is why the tape lacks classic techniques from horror films. This film is not about who is hiding in the shadows, but about who is nearby, who is simply impossible to see. It was important for filmmakers to show several worlds: pretentious, rich, technological, cozy, modest and quiet. Therefore, all locations turned out to be completely different, and the houses conveyed the characters of their owners. In addition, the very approach of director Lee Wannell to the film delights in its grace. If the villain cannot be shown in the frame, then how can you make him really scary? No, not stupid and stupid screamers, but with the help of the amazing performance of Elisabeth Moss, who got the role of the victim.
