'Dolor y Gloria'

Famous director Pedro Almodovar's "Dolor y Gloria" ("Pain and Glory"), winner of Best Actor and Best Soundtrack at Cannes Film Festival and nominated for an Oscar in Spain this year, will be presented to Turkish audiences this week. The film, starring Antonio Banderas, is about the past and present-day choices of an experienced filmmaker, Salvador Mallo, who is now far from his youth, and the events that have left his mark on his life.

The production stars Penelope Cruz, Asier Etxeandia and Leonardo Sbaraglia. The soundtracks of the film belong to Alberto Iglesias.

'7. Koğuştaki Mucize'

"7. Koğuştaki Mucize" ("Miracle in Cell No. 7"), starring Aras Bulut İynemli, Nisa Sofiya Aksongur, Celile Toyon, İlker Aksum, Mesut Akusta, Deniz Baysal, Yurdaer Okur and Sarp Akkaya, is another movie set to meet the audience this week. Directed by Mehmet Ada Öztekin, the film tells the story of Memo, who lived in an Aegean town under martial law in 1983 and was unjustly jailed, and his 7-year-old daughter. A drama written by Kubilay Tat and directed by Danish Torben Forsberg, the film brings the reuniting story of the father and daughter to the silver screen.

'Gemini Men'

Directed by Oscar-laurate filmmaker Ang Lee and starring Will Smith, "Gemini Men" is poised to attract the attention of science-fiction and action enthusiasts. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen, Benedict Wong and Douglas Hodge are also part of the cast. Will Smith plays the distinguished assassin Henry Brogan, who is targeted and pursued by a young agent who is able to predict his every move at once.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger, the film was shot in a next-generation digital format with 60 frames per second, which is more than twice the traditional film frame rate. With this aspect, the film gives the audience a deeper and more realistic 3D experience.
