"CODA" (2021), 14+ February 7, 2026  "CODA" begins as a quiet story about a family where every day is similar, but behind this mundane routine lies a whole world of emotions that usually remains off-screen. The main character is the only hearing member of the family, and her life seems divided into two realities: the noisy world she is accustomed to, and the quiet one inhabited by her parents and brother. On the outside, she seems to be simply helping her family, but inside, a desire to find her own voice grows. The film masterfully reveals the difficulty of balancing responsibilities and dreams. Every decision becomes a test: stay and support the family or take a risk for oneself. Moments of joy and humor coexist with anxiety and guilt, creating an almost palpable tension that keeps the viewer constantly engaged. |
"Licorice Pizza" (2021), 18+ February 4, 2026  "Licorice Pizza" feels like a memory that emerges unexpectedly and lingers. This is a story less about events than about a state of being—that strange age when the world seems vast and feelings all too real. Everything begins easily and almost by chance, but sometimes life is shaped by such coincidences. At the center is a teenager with entrepreneurial spirit and a girl who seems older, more experienced, and more confident, but is also searching for herself. Their relationship defies conventional boundaries and constantly teeters on the brink of awkwardness, daring, and sincerity. They run through the streets of 1970s Los Angeles, getting into adventures and seemingly testing the limits of reality. |
"West Side Story" (2021), 12+ February 3, 2026  "West Side Story" begins as a vibrant musical, but it quickly becomes clear: behind the dancing and singing lies a story with too much pain and too little chance for a happy ending. The streets of New York City become the arena of an unspoken war, where youth boils and aggression seeks an outlet. Every movement, every glance, is filled with tension that threatens to explode. At the center are two street gangs for whom the neighborhood means more than the future. They live by their own rules, defending their territory, and don't ask where it all leads. But in this world of hatred, a feeling suddenly arises that obeys neither the colors of their jackets nor the boundaries of others. |
"The French Dispatch" (2021), 18+ January 31, 2026  "The French Dispatch" looks like a film that was accidentally left unopened, disintegrating into dozens of stories, characters, and strange details. It's not just a movie, but a living magazine issue, where every page exudes style, irony, and a touch of madness. From the very first minutes, it becomes clear that the viewer is not in for a plot in the conventional sense, but a journey through someone's carefully crafted imagination. At the center of it all is the editorial office of an American magazine published in a fictional French city. After an unexpected event, the staff decides to publish a farewell issue, and each story within it becomes a separate world. |
"Nomadland" (2020), 18+ January 29, 2026  Typically, road movies promise adventure, freedom, and beautiful scenery, but Nomadland quickly makes it clear: this isn't postcard romance. Here, the road becomes a way of life, chosen not out of a dream, but out of necessity. After an economic collapse, a small town literally disappears from the map, leaving the protagonist alone with the void where stability once existed. She loads her things into a van and sets off for a place without familiar addresses or schedules. All around are temporary jobs, cold nights, random stops, and people who have also lost their familiar ground. Each of them lives as if on pause, but inside, each has their own pain, their own story, and their own reason for not returning. The film slowly draws you into this nomadic rhythm, where days merge and conversations around the campfire sound more honest than any confession. |
"Minari" (2020), 18+ January 28, 2026  "Minari" is a film that looks simple, but is deeper than it seems. It's like a quiet song about family, dreams, and how far you're willing to go to finally make your home your own. Ian is a man who believes in the future. He leaves everything familiar to start a new life in America. He buys land in a small state, builds a farm, and dreams of his family becoming part of the "American Dream"—not just surviving, but growing, developing, and achieving freedom. He's convinced that if he works hard enough, if he never gives up, everything will work out. But reality proves harsher. The land isn't what he expected. His money is running out. His wife, Monica, is tired, her patience is wearing thin./p> |
"Sound of Metal" (2020), 18+ January 23, 2026  "Sound of Metal" is a film that first deafens, then silences. A story about loss that comes suddenly—and changes everything you thought you were. Ruben is the drummer in a punk-metal duo. His life is rhythm, touring, the noise of the stage, constant movement. Music isn't just a job for him—it's an anchor, a way to hold on to reality and not fall back into past addictions. He's used to living loudly, at the edge, without a thought for silence. And suddenly the sound disappears. Not gradually—it breaks off. The world distorts, speech disintegrates into muffled vibrations, and familiar reality begins to slip away. |
"Promising Young Woman" (2020), 18+ January 22, 2026  "Promising Young Woman" is a film that starts out as a cheeky romp and then suddenly turns into a cold verdict. It smiles with bright colors, pop music, and irony, but beneath the surface lies a fury that makes you uneasy. Cassie is sweet, witty, and a little weird. By day, she works in a coffee shop, lives with her parents, and seems stuck somewhere between the past and the present. At night, she finds herself in bars and clubs, feigning drunkenness and vulnerability. Men think they're lucky. That they're easy prey. That they can afford a little more than usual. And that's when the real story begins. Cassie forgets nothing. She remembers one tragedy that changed her life forever and shattered her faith in justice. |
"The Trial of the Chicago 7" (2020), 18+ January 21, 2026  "The Trial of the Chicago 7" is a film where the courtroom becomes an arena, and truth becomes a bargaining chip. A story in which the law looks like a farce, and justice depends on who holds the gavel. The late 1960s. America is seething: the Vietnam War, protests, streets full of anger and hope. After mass clashes in Chicago, authorities identify the culprits—seven activists with different views, personalities, and methods of struggle. They share one thing: they must now answer for the chaos that, according to the state, threatens order. The trial is off-kilter from the start. |
"The Father" (2020), 18+ January 20, 2026  "The Father" is a film that doesn't tell a story, but rather draws you inside someone else's mind. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, it robs you of your footing—just as it does with its protagonist. Anthony is sure he's fine. He lives in his apartment, remembers names, jokes, argues, gets irritated. He's stubborn, witty, and refuses to give up control of his life to anyone. Especially his daughter, who for some reason increasingly talks about help, caregivers, and moving. But the world around Anthony begins to change. Rooms look different. People behave strangely. Familiar faces suddenly seem strange, and strange faces seem eerily familiar. The film deliberately confuses the viewer, forcing them to experience what's happening from the inside. |
"Tenet" (2020), 18+ January 19, 2026  "Tenet" is a film that begins as a typical spy thriller but gradually evolves into a puzzle where time becomes a weapon and reality is just one layer. The plot begins with the protagonist simply being "The Operator," a man with no name, no past, and no room for error. He is hired for a mission where the stakes are not money or power, but the very fate of the world. He must stop something that hasn't happened yet and figure out how to fight an enemy that can move backwards in time. And then the strangest thing begins: an "inversion" appears in the world. This isn't time travel like in typical movies. |
"The Teacher's Lounge" (2023), 18+ January 17, 2026  "The Teacher's Lounge" is a film that begins as a school drama and quietly evolves into a tense thriller about morality, responsibility, and the fragility of justice. Karla is a young teacher, full of idealism and faith in the system. She wants to be honest, objective, and modern. At the school where she works, a seemingly petty theft occurs. Nothing catastrophic—just money, just trouble. But it turns out that it's precisely things like these that really start conflicts. The administration decides to take harsh action. Children come under suspicion. Interrogations begin, whispers in the hallways, looks that make you want to sink into the floor. |
"The Outrun" (2024), 18+ January 12, 2026  "The Outrun" is a film about an escape that unexpectedly turns into a return. Not to people, not to home, but to yourself—the one you lost long ago and were afraid to see again. Rona returns to the Orkney Islands after years of self-destruction. London is left behind, along with sleepless nights, alcohol, shame, and the feeling that life is slipping through her fingers. Here, too, there's the wind, the cold sea, sheep on the slopes, and a silence that at first makes you want to run. But there's nowhere else to run. She lives alone, walks a lot, listens to the sounds of the earth and water, as if trying to relearn how to breathe. Islands don't heal—they don't know how to be gentle. They only reflect everything you bring with you. |
"Green Border" (2023), 18+ January 6, 2026  The film "Green Border" is not created for entertainment or consolation. It mercilessly immerses you in reality without embellishment or detours. Here, the border ceases to be just a line on a map, turning into a cold space between life and the struggle to preserve it. A dense forest stretches between Belarus and Poland. In tourist images, it appears endlessly green and even artificially idyllic. But for those who find themselves inside, this is no longer a place from a guidebook—it's a trap. People come here with the hope that Europe is just around the corner, that just one step separates them from safety and a new life. But instead of an exit, they are met only by the endless unknown of the forest. |
"Top Gun: Maverick" (2022), 16+ December 31, 2025  "Top Gun: Maverick" begins as the triumphant return of a legend and ends as a heartfelt ode to the sky, speed, and the people who live life at full capacity, refusing to exist half-heartedly. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is still at the helm. Not because he can't stop, but because there's no other life for him. Years have passed, the world has changed, technology has advanced, but he remains the same. A pilot who trusts his instincts more than instructions. He's overlooked, often misunderstood, yet he's the one people turn to when the impossible is required. Now he faces a new challenge. A secret mission. Risky. Nearly suicidal. Its execution falls to the best of the best—young pilots brimming with ambition. They're fast, daring, and confident that limitations don't exist for them. Maverick is tasked with preparing these pilots for a mission whose success seems unthinkable. Among them is Rooster, the son of his late friend. The burden of unspoken guilt. The complex legacy of the past. And a gaze full of difficult questions. |
