Why watch this film?
Re-imagined for the big screen from Aleksey Igudesman's play, 'The Music Critic' shows that actor John Malkovich of 'In the Line of Fire' and 'RED: Retired and Extremely Dangerous' will take on anything in the cinema. Here, from compositions by musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin and Debussy, we follow the star reading, performing and showing some of the greatest absurdities reproduced by music critics of all time--from texts that Debussy was "ugly" and others that reduced Brahms' talent. It's fun to see how opinions change over time as we dive into the best of each of these composers' works, with a sharp Malkovich on the "stage".

Plot summary
Aleksey Igudesman has created a sardonic mix of the most evil music critiques of the last centuries written about some of the greatest works of music. Equipped with a frivolous potpourri of musical insults, John Malkovich slips into the role of the evil critic who believes the music of Beethoven, Chopin, Prokofiev and the likes to be weary and dreary. Aleksey Igudesman, Hyung-ki Joo and other great musicians beg to differ and fight back. “Schumann fancies himself a ‘composer’, while Brahms is a ‘giftless bastard’ and Claude Debussy is simply ugly.” The grand finale is ‘The Malkovich Torment’ which a horrific review about Malkovich himself. Music by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Schumann, Debussy, Prokofiev, Ysaÿe, Kancheli, Piazzolla and Igudesman.

Concert
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version)
Fans of Taylor Swift, or Swifties, are well aware of what "Taylor's Version" means: a re-recording, update, or re-release of some of the popular artist's works. That being said, we must say that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version) is in a way just that: an updated (or rather, complete) version of the original The Eras Tour, the film of her immensely successful and historic concert tour. What's different? Not much, as it's essentially the same concert in the end. However, the new version includes a performance of the song "Cardigan" and four other acoustic tracks that were not in the original cut. A new addition to Taylor Swift's films that Swifties won't want to miss.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour
Needless to say, as a musical artist, Taylor Swift has managed to become a pop phenomenon with legions of fans, resulting in the economically most successful concert tour of all time: 'The Eras Tour.' The concert tour was also documented and released as a film, 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,' which in itself has been a phenomenon challenging the conventions of how a premiere should be conducted. Beyond that, as a concert film, it is spectacular, and although its primary audience will undoubtedly be "swifties," 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' will also captivate music and entertainment fans in general. Furthermore, this extended version features three songs that were not included in the film's theatrical release: "Long Live," "The Archer," and "Wildest Dreams."
BTS: Permission To Dance On Stage
After the Bangtan Boys’ previous performances worldwide, the BTS crew are now all set to perform in their home country.
The Beatles: Get Back - The Rooftop Concert

The documentary features in-studio footage of The Beatles shot in early 1969 for the 1970 feature film "Let It Be," culminating in their iconic rooftop concert. The film captures the band's creative process and showcases their incredible talent and chemistry. Peter Jackson's direction and editing bring new life to the footage, immersing the audience in the studio and on the rooftop. The sound quality is impressive, and the concert footage is a joy to watch. The film also provides insight into the band's dynamic and relationships, making it a fascinating watch for Beatles enthusiasts. Overall, "The Beatles: Get Back - The Rooftop Concert" is a timeless tribute to one of the greatest bands in music history. Highly recommended.
