5/1/2016 / Cineplexx, Coliseum
A romantic musical drama
(USA, 2016)
Directed by: Damien Chazelle. Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, JK Simmons, Finn Wittrock, Callie Hernandez, Rosemarie DeWitt, Meagen Fay, John Legend.
La La Land is a film for hopeless romantics and one of the most anticipated films of 2016. The romantic musical starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone is about a jazz musician and an actress who fall madly in love. Director Damien Chazelle's film is a modern tribute to the golden age of Hollywood musicals. Ryan Gosling is a jazz pianist who plays in dark bars, while Stonova, an aspiring actress waiting for her big break, earns her living as a waitress.
The Great Wall
5/1/2017 / Cineplexx, Colosseum
Fantasy action adventure
(China, USA, 2016)
Directed by: Zhang Yimou. Cast: Matt Damon, Andy Lau, Pedro Pascal, Millem Dafoe, Lu Han, Jing Tian, Zhang Hanyu, Eddie Peng, Lin Gengxin, Ryan Cheng, Chen Xuedong.
Matt Damon has swapped the melee weapon he wielded as Jason Bourne for a bow in this big-budget film as he plays a soldier in ancient China. It is not a historically accurate film, because the nearly nine thousand meter long Great Wall of China does not protect people from invasions by Mongol and Hun tribes, but rather from evil omens. The giant of Chinese cinema, Zhang Yimou, waved the director's baton over the film. With a budget of around 140 million US dollars, the American-Chinese co-production will be the most expensive Chinese film of all time.
