Attracting love with magic... and other "idiotic ideas": the second part of "Dune" has begun showing in Russian cinemas.
But, like all world premieres in the last two years, there is a pre-screening service. As I was convinced NotMoscow, viewers need to buy tickets to one of the Russian short films - in exchange, they will be shown a nearly three-hour film "for free" Denis Villeneuve.
The Kinomax cinema chain is offering Russians the chance to watch a short film from 2013. "Practical Magic"The plot follows "a lonely thirty-something girl who tries to attract love into her life with the help of magic." The Russian comedy has a 5,9 rating on Kinopoisk.
Incidentally, Practical Magic was filmed by the same director whose filmography includes the short film The Charms of Infidelity, about "intelligent Soviet people who try to have sex, but something always gets in their way."
People UfaThose who want to see the second part of "Dune" will be forced to buy a ticket to "Jovik" - a Russian four-minute comedy about friends, one of whom wants to "find a boyfriend through an app," and the other tries to dissuade her from this "idiotic idea."
Similarly, in IzhevskWant "Dune 2"? Watch the animated film "Dekanemiron"—short poems about gender relations.
But for the residents Syktyvkar I was a little luckier, I noticed NotMoscow, - after "Dune" they will be shown "Three Good Deeds" - a Russian short film with a 5,0 rating about a girl who "doesn't really like studying or helping her elders," for which she receives a "bad luck spell" from a sorceress.
Meanwhile, the second installment of the film "Dune" grossed nearly $180 million in its opening weekend alone, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year in the US.
