On May 1, RIO CINEMA (Limassol) will host an open discussion with the director Kirill Serebrennikov.

More about the event:
What Happens: In a movie that stunningly captures the suffocating atmosphere of life as a woman in 19th-century Russia, the biography of composer Tchaikovsky's wife Antonina Milyukova unfolds with almost horror-like suspense as she slowly descends into madness from her almost instantaneously broken marriage and her husband's homosexuality.
What you’ll feel:
Tizita (amharic, ትዝታ) — A bittersweet remembrance and longing for a time, person, thing gone by.
Lebenskrankheit (german) — Life sickness/disease; existential anomie; world-weariness.
Vemod (swedish) — Tender, wistful sadness; pensive melancholy; the resigned and nostalgic feeling one has in relation to something positive or significant that has been lost or is over (e.g., one’s childhood).
What you need to know: Kirill Serebrennikov, moving away from his theatrical style of filmmaking, has made a mesmerizingly creepy biography of the wife of Russia's most famous composer. Restoring ignored pages of history, he focuses on the inner world of the "wife of a genius", bringing her out of the shadows.
