Very Murray Christmas, 2015 merry Murray Christmas! Sofia Coppola’s musical (“Marie Antoinette, “”translation Difficulties”) rarely makes it into the classic new year’s selections, and this is an unfortunate omission. The plot of “A very Murray Christmas” is simple and beautiful at the same time: on the eve of the holiday, bill is preparing to play a new year’s show and is waiting for star guests.The weather makes its own adjustments to this plan: new York is covered with snow and frozen as if before another Groundhog Day. But is it worth it to lose heart about this on Christmas eve? We strongly recommend watching the film in English with Russian subtitles and enjoy “Jingle Bells”, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and “the Christmas Blues” in the original language.

Peter’s Friends, 1992 once Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen fry and three other friends gathered to celebrate Christmas after a ten-year separation.Despite the fact that we are talking about the heroes of the film, and not a real case of the life of British actors, this description is not far from the truth: they are all friends off-site. Perhaps that’s why the shooting of “Friends of Peter” took ten days, and the opening scene, including behind-the-scenes jokes and dancing, turned out to be the first take.

It’s funny that Allen told the actors that he was shooting a musical, only after signing contracts.
