1. The Prestige
The mysterious story of the friendship and rivalry between Robert and Alfred – illusionist magicians who competed with each other in London at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the end, the secrets of the main tricks will be revealed to us. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale under the direction of Christopher Nolan.
2. The Duelist
3. I Won't Say a Word
A theatrical performance presented by two actors to a single spectator. A beautifully crafted story of a couple parting ways, and one of the best films in Russian cinema in the last 10 years. It may be challenging for a while, but in the end, there is catharsis.
4. The Usual Suspects
Firstly, we solemnly swear — if you’ve decided to watch this double Oscar-winning film about the investigation of a ship fire, don’t google anything. The internet is full of spoilers, and this isn’t “Game of Thrones”; here spoilers will definitely ruin it. Secondly, we won’t tell you anything about it either, except that the ending of this film is the best thing that will happen to you while watching a movie.
5. The Life of David Gale
The second film in a row with Kevin Spacey. He portrays David Gale — an upstanding man vehemently protesting against the death penalty and finding himself on death row for the murder of activist Constance Harraway. Three days before his execution, Gale agrees to an interview with reporter Bitsey Bloom: he denies his guilt, but direct evidence suggests otherwise. Bitsey starts her own investigation.
6. The Machinist
Trevor Reznik works at a factory, lives alone, and hasn’t slept in a year. He used to distinguish frightening visions from the events of his daily life, but lately they have been overlapping. He needs to figure out what’s going on.
7. The Time Loop
Getting rid of an undesirable person by sending them into the past, where a killer awaits — it’s the perfect but costly murder. Made possible by loopers, closing loops and taking silver bars as payment. One day, each looper gets a hit on themselves, and gold is paid for such a killing. Starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
8. Lucky Number Slevin
This intricate tale begins at an airport with a quiet wheelchair-bound man killing a random stranger. But before looping back to this moment, the plot delves into the adventures of Slevin, mistaken by gangsters for someone else. A completely unpredictable puzzle.
9. Solaris
The main character of the movie is psychologist Chris Kelvin. He tries to figure out the reasons behind the mass suicide of scientists who were studying the mysterious planet Solaris. Steven Soderbergh’s version differs from Tarkovsky’s not only by the presence of George Clooney in the film but also by its ending!
10. Others
Children of Grace suffer from an intolerance to sunlight, so their mother takes them to a mansion on an island off the coast of England. The family lives in semi-darkness, awaiting the return of the husband and father from World War II, while strange and inexplicable events occur around them. But in the end, of course, the puzzle will come together.
