The Story Begins
in Stanislav in 1868. Dr. Anger loses his wife in the fire, but manages to rescue two girls, his own daughter Adele and Stephanie, the daughter of his servants. Filled with despair, the doctor decides to raise them together. 25
years have passed. The girls have
grown up and are inseparable, though Adele is now married. Stephanie
takes care of the house and the kitchen. But they still don't understand
who they are with each other: sisters and girlfriends, or
maid and
mistress. In the kaleidoscope of love and jealousy, dual meanings and
mysteries, the line between reality and fiction finally disappears.
Beautiful outfits, exquisite dishes and endless walks… What happens when
the illusion begins to dispel and instead it comes to reality?

'THE NINTH' TRAILER
THE DARK MYSTERIES OF THE 19TH CENTURY RUSSIA
Meanwhile, over in Russia, currently airing in their cinemas is visually equally mesmerizing occult thriller THE NINTH (Devyataya) starring Harlots' star Daisy Head alongside Yuri Kolokolnikov and Evgeniy Tsyganov!
Petersburg at the end of the 19th century was embraced by a
massive enthusiasm for the occult sciences and esoteric. British medium Olivia Reed arrives in the capital of the Russian Empire on tour and gathers crowds of people at her public spiritualistic sessions. At this time, a series of ritual mysterious murders takes place in the city. Girls are abducted on the streets, their mutilated bodies are found in various parts of the city. The investigation is carried out by a young police officer Rostov and his assistant Ganin. With each new victim, things are becoming more confused. Suspicion leads Rostov to Olivia, and he decides to turn to her in the hope that her genuine or imaginary ability to summon the spirits of the dead can help to get on the trail of the killer.
The Ninth is currently airing in Russian cinemas |
"Loyal" sounds very intriguing! I have to watch it now :)
ReplyDeleteWe wait till January... and even then only if we travel to Ukraine :)
DeleteThe Ninth looks pretty cool?
ReplyDeleteIf you're not scared easily :)
DeleteWhile they both look good, I really liked the trailer for Loyal. Though I wanted to rip the hats off the ladies in the theater. So rude to wear such large hats to a show knowing the person behind you will have their view obstructed by such a silly looking hat.
ReplyDeleteLadies care only for themselves, methinks :) That is why fat old ladies survived Titanic and young boys died drowning.
DeleteThe poster for the first film is mesmerizing. I love everything about it. You lost me for a hot second with the name Dr. Anger, but the story line sucked me back in. My own personal opinion is that we all are equal, but sometimes it's difficult to see past birth rank. Despite being raised as sisters, she's still cleaning her home. This is definitely something I would watch.
ReplyDeleteWell, she is the heiress, the other one gets only to enjoy it, but it seems from the trailer she will steal her man?
