Space between us

The creators of the fantastic melodrama "The Space Between Us" this year postpones Valentine's Day to February 2. It is on this day that we will see a non-trivial love story between an earthly girl and a young Martian, confirming that distance is not an obstacle for true love.

It turns out that on the Red Planet there is not only life, but also love. It is the best of feelings that makes the young Mars native Gardner Elliot (Ace Butterfield) leave his native land and go to visit the charming inhabitant of Tulsa (Britt Robertson). Young people, as often happens in real life, met on the Internet and realized that they are equally lonely in the Universe.

For the Martian Gardner, a trip to another planet turns into a big problem, because he does not suspect that people can be cruel, and girls are touchy. But love of a cosmic scale puts everything in its place, and together with the young heroes of this simple and brilliant story, we understand that it is time to grow up and say goodbye to loneliness.

Interestingly, on the set next to the young and talented actors Asa Butterfield ("The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", "Ender's Game", "Keeper of Time") and Britt Robertson ("Scream 4", the TV series "Under the Dome") there was a place " the main villain "of modern cinema, Gary Oldman. He plays the role of the owner of a space company conducting exploration on Mars, a sort of Elon Musk, and this positive character is a big surprise for Oldman fans. The actor himself admits that in the script he was attracted by two themes - love and loss, and to work on the role, he went with interest to the headquarters of the Elon Musk space company.

An unusual and touching love story told in the film "The Space Between Us" is the main reason to go to the cinema and remember that love is everywhere. Even next to you.

Love is …

Filmmakers from the USA, Russia, Argentina and France turned the legendary gum into 6 romantic stories of love, separation, quarrels and forgiveness. The plot of each of them is simple and clear: a couple of young people are trying to find mutual understanding, get out of love traps and prove that love is forever. Hopefully, each story is beautiful in its own way and does not become another gum on the big screen.

Paterson

Neither gum nor popcorn will work for the next movie. Last year, Jim Jarmusch, the chief experimenter and romanticist of American independent cinema, made the film Paterson, about a guy named Paterson who lives in the town of Paterson. It's just a stupid coincidence, not a bad rhyme, but Paterson of Paterson works as a bus driver and, with the tenacity of a mad printer, writes love poems and puts them on the table.

The small town of Paterson is a poetic allusion to any other city in which a measured everyday life flows, and no one cares about the problems of neighbors. But when the "white crow" appears, the public's eyes turn towards the troublemaker, although the driver and poet Paterson is only trying to prove that love exists, and the prose of life is much more exciting if rhymed. In his new film, Jarmusch has done without "stars", but still is accurate and romantic.

The beauty and the Beast

The Americans decided to tell the story again about the beautiful Belle and Adam, who was turned into a hideous monster by an evil sorceress. The story is as old as the world, but director Bill Condon and actors Emma Watson (Belle) and Luke Evans (Adam) are trying to add new colors to it.

However, the essence remains the same: love works wonders. Therefore, the next version of "Beauty and the Beast" can be safely recommended to friends who are disappointed in love. Or those who want to see Ewan McGregor on the screen again, this time trying on the image of the Lumiere chandelier and extracting a romantic French accent.

Fantastic love and where to find it

The main character in the next romantic story is not called Belle, but she is also beautiful. Bella lived for a long time in a closed world of her fantasies, until one day she was forced to go out into the open air. The townsfolk consider the girl an ordinary eccentric, like Paterson from Paterson, but there are three guys who are close and understandable to her views on the beautiful and romantic world.

Fantastic Love and Where to Find It is the first feature film directed and written by Simon Ebaud. However, the unknown in the world of big cinema did not prevent him from attracting famous English actors to work on the film - Andrew Scott (Moriarty from Sherlock), Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey) and veteran Tom Wilkinson, who has long become his own in Hollywood. In a word, decide to find out what the British think about friendship and love, this film is for you.
