Some films are shot so beautifully that they conquer from the first frame. An intriguing plot, well-thought-out costumes, virtuosic acting and shivering aesthetics – these are the permanent attributes of high-quality cinema. And if all this is combined in one tape, then you just want to review it again and again.
11The Queen’s Gambit (2020)
Elizabeth Harmon was only 9 years old when she was orphaned and placed in an orphanage. There, the girl meets an elderly janitor, Scheibel, who teaches her to play chess. During the day, Elizabeth escapes from boring lessons to the back room to play another game, and at night she scrolls through chess combinations in her head. A few years later, the girl will be adopted, and she will begin a completely different life. But the main role in it will be played by the constant love of chess.
