CineCrossroads: “Now You See Me 3,” “The Leopard,” and “Ratatouille”
The weekend is approaching, and it’s the perfect moment to decide what to watch. Today's selection features a dazzling showcase of illusions, one of the most beautiful works of Italian cinema, and a family favorite sure to awaken your appetite. The Qazinform News Agency correspondent wishes you a pleasant viewing!
Movie of the Week - Now You See Me 3 (2025)
The franchise returns with a new generation of illusionists tasked with reviving the legend of the Four Horsemen. Acting on a mission from the mysterious Eye, the newcomers join forces with the original team to pull off a heist that will determine not only the fate of a priceless diamond but their own freedom.
Standing in their way is the heir to a criminal empire, whose moves are nearly impossible to predict. At the same time, the Horsemen must uncover who orchestrated their reunion in the first place and what this shadowy puppeteer truly wants.
Classic Pick - The Leopard (1963)
Luchino Visconti crafted a film widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of Italian cinema. The Leopard transports viewers to a moment of sweeping transformation in Sicily: the decline of the old aristocracy, the rise of new power, the collision between tradition and the unstoppable current of history.
At the center of the story is Prince Salina, a man forced to watch his world fade before his eyes. He understands that change is inevitable, yet emotionally remains tied to a vanished era. Through grand balls, intimate family scenes, and quiet conversations by candlelight, the film explores the disappearance of a privileged class unable to adapt to a new reality.
The film triumphed at the Cannes Film Festival and earned acclaim from critics around the world. The reserved power of Burt Lancaster, the youthful intensity of Alain Delon, and the radiance of Claudia Cardinale turn this work into far more than a historical drama.
Family Choice - Ratatouille (2007)
One of Pixar’s coziest and most uplifting films. This is the story of Remy, a rat with a refined palate.
Growing up among relatives who survive on scraps, Remy imagines another life — one of real cooking, where every ingredient matters. Fate brings him to Paris, straight into the kitchen of his idol Gusteau. Hidden from human eyes, he begins working with the clumsy but kindhearted Linguini, turning kitchen chaos into an opportunity to prove that true talent has no prescribed origin.
The film brims with delicious visual textures, warm humor, and a simple yet powerful message - no one can decide what you are capable of becoming.
Earlier in CineCrossroads, we featured a weekly selection that included Materialists, The Godfather, and Zootopia 2.
