Are the manuscripts actually burning? Is the artist responsible for his works? Is the "child's tear" important in the modern world? Play by Martin McDonagh staged by Kirill Serebrennikov.

The main idea of film can be expressed in a proverb: together it is cramped and separately it is boring.

A filmed version of Nikolai Gogol's "The Gamblers", transposed into modern-day Russia and performed by an all-star cast.

Based on the play of the same name by A.P. Chekhov.

Screen adaptation of the two-part play "Chekhov's Pages" staged by the Moscow Art Theater. M. Gorky based on one-act plays and stories by A.P. Chekhov: “Gimp”, “Lecture on the dangers of tobacco”, “Anniversary”, “Pecheneg”, “The Story of Mrs. N.N.”, “Swan Song”.

Alexander Ostrovsky's textbook comedy in the modern interpretation of Kirill Serebrennikov: about the price of freedom and love in the same ruble equivalent.

"About Buka" by animator Nina Shorina, famous for "The Door". In Russian, no subtitles.

A stage production by the Gorky Moscow Art Theatre.

The whole film has three, (but in reality, two main) characters. Most of the action takes place in a country house, home to the pair. She - a Japanese translator, he - a man without a definite occupation, lover of the texts of Nietzsche (which he reads fluently in its original language) and St. Augustine (who is quoted in Latin). They are Moscow intelligentsia who have emigrating to their own cultural space. A couple so different that it is difficult to understand what keeps them together. It seems they live together, not because of, but rather in spite of everything that is happening (or rather, not happening) between them.
