The outgoing year has given movie lovers a lot of films that are quite worthy of becoming classics of cinematography. Well, or if not classics, then at least you can revise such pictures more than once. The next year, 2014, will be no less intense in terms of films worthy of attention. We present pictures that you should definitely see, and tell you when to do it and why.

The wolf of Wall Street

premiere: January 1

Whether the artistic union of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio will receive Oscar nominations this year remains to be seen. But a little before the announcement of the nominees in the cinema, it will already be possible to evaluate their work, which tells about the life and success story of the broker Jordan Belfort, who committed a number of financial frauds.

Jack Ryan: Chaos Theory

PREMIERE: January 16

Hollywood rarely pleases us with films that were filmed in Russia. Part of the action movie "Jack Ryan: Theory of Chaos" was filmed in the capital. Against the background of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Kremlin and other attractions, an exciting story unfolds about how financial analyst Jack Ryan (this role was played by Star Trek star Chris Pine) is being set up by a billionaire. Now he is suspected of plotting to bring down the US economy.

Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner and others moved with Pine around the Russian capital.

Save Mr. Banks

PREMIERE: January 23

In what images did not Tom Hanks appear before the audience! In January he can be seen as the great cartoonist Walt Disney. The plot of the film is based on the story of how Disney persuaded the writer Pamela Travers (Emma Thompson was reincarnated), who did not want Hollywood to "spoil" her beloved heroine, to sell him the rights to film her book about Mary Poppins.

To get used to the character, Hanks visited the Disney Museum and talked with his relatives, including his daughter.

August

The film based on the play "August: Osage County" has already begun to receive nominations for major awards.

George Clooney was one of the producers. The tape tells how the daughters return to their home to support their mother during the sudden disappearance of their father.

Nymphomaniac

PREMIERE: Part 1 - February 13, Part 2 - March 6

Lars von Trier is perhaps one of the most controversial contemporary directors. His new work hasn't come out yet, but it's already made a lot of noise.

Charlotte Gainsbourg, Uma Thurman, Shia LaBeouf, Christian Slater, Stellan Skargard, Willem Dafoe and many others played in the film.

Vampire Academy

The vampire theme is still trending. Writer Rachel Mead created a book called Vampire Academy, and director Mark Waters (Between Heaven and Earth, Freaky Friday) directed a film based on it. The picture united both Western actors and ours. Danila Kozlovsky appeared in the role of a vampire named Dimitri, and Olga Kurylenko played the director of the academy.

American scam

PREMIERE: February 13

Just before the presentation of the main award of the year, a film will be shown in theaters, which, without a doubt, will apply for it. After all, "Scam" is already listed among the leaders in the nominations for various awards. The plot of the picture is based on a real story about how in the seventies the FBI introduced its employees into a criminal environment under the guise of intermediaries buying expensive art objects.

A story full of twists and turns and outfitted with luxurious costumes in the style of the time, some of the most in-demand actors today - Christian Bale, Jeremy Renner, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. The latter, by the way, is again “threatened” with an Oscar nomination. Will the girl get a second?

treasure hunters

PREMIERE: February 13

George Clooney himself wrote the script for this film, directed it himself and played one of the main roles in the company of Matt Damon, Jean Dujardin, Bill Murray, John Goodman, and Cate Blanchett.

For the sake of working on the painting, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto have changed beyond recognition. The first dropped 22 kg, and the second - 16. McConaughey got the role of Ron Woodroof, a real Texas electrician with AIDS. The doctors gave him six months, but he managed to survive, taking unconventional medications, and even helping others, including the hero Leto - or rather, the heroine. Jared got the role of a transsexual, also suffering from a dangerous syndrome.

The story of the star and the princess was directed by the director of the film Life in Pink, for her role in which Marion Cotillard won her Oscar, becoming Edith Piaf in the film.

Superiority

PREMIERE: April 17

Johnny Depp knows how to play not only in the complex makeup of pirates or Indians. Without makeup, he is just as good as he will prove in the picture "Superiority". He played the role of a computer genius dreaming of creating a machine that could think like a person. For his purpose, he loads his brain into a computer. And he himself does not notice how much he changes after that. Now the goal of the new Will is to take over the whole world.

Morgan Freeman, Kate Mara, Cillian Murphy, Paul Bettany and others played along with Johnny Depp in the film.
