KVIFF revealed the opening and closing film of its 56th edition

June 28, 2022, 11:30

Superheroes will be the opening film of the 56th Karlovy Vary IFF

A romantic film that briefly introduces us to the carousel of joys and fears of a couple brought together by chance. Or was it fate? Comic book illustrator Anna and theoretical physicist Marco are a pair of congenial Superheroes who, like so many other people, have decided to live together. After all, dealing with shared problems sometimes requires truly superhuman strength. Every relationship has its crises and its idyllic moments – from a random encounter in the rain to serious conversations a decade later. The film’s structure presents the history of their relationship by following two timelines: the very beginning and ten years later. The carefully constructed episodes systematically take aim at viewers’ hearts and minds.

Superheroes / Supereroi
director: Paolo Genovese, 2021, 121 min.


Three Thousand Years of Longing to close 56th Karlovy Vary IFF

Profesorka naratologie Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) přijíždí do Istanbulu přednášet na konferenci. Její postoje racionální vědkyně začnou ale postupně brát za své, když v hotelovém pokoji ze starobylé lahvičky zakoupené na bazaru vypustí Džina (Idris Elba), který jí, jak už to v orientálních pohádkách bývá, nabídne splnit tři přání… Po adrenalinové postapokalyptické jízdě Šílený Max: Zběsilá cesta (2015) přiveze na letošní karlovarský festival režisér George Miller výstřední fantasy snímek s hvězdnou ústřední dvojící. Tři tisíce let touhy divákovi přináší věčný příběh o lásce, naplněný podobně jako pohádky Tisíce a jedné noci, radostí z vyprávění.

Three Thousand Years of Longing / director: George Miller, USA, 2022, 108 min.
