October full of cultural ideas for men
Do you love suspense, adrenaline, or a bit of charity every now and again? In this case, we have a few tips for cultural events to attend with your friends, or something nice to buy for your home.
FILMS
Blade Runner 2049, premiering on 5 October
“I sent the script to Harrison Ford and he admitted that it’s the best script he has ever read,” says Ridley Scott, executive producer of the film.
“It is a similar colour palette, but in the hands of a different painter,” director Denis Villeneuve describes one of the most highly-anticipated films of the year.
Thirty years since the events in the first film, the new Blade Runner and Los Angeles police officer K (Ryan Gosling) reveal a long-hidden secret, which is so fundamental that it could entirely tear apart the last remains of human society. This obliges him to search for Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), former Blade Runner of the L.A. police, who has been missing or 30 years. Alongside the main pair, the film also features a luxurious cast including Jared Leto, Robin Wright and Ana de Armas.
Earth: One Amazing Day, premiering on 26 October
The creators of Earth are bringing a second feature-length film to cinemas, following up on the successful second series of the nature documentary Earth. This adventurous film introduces viewers of all age categories to an unforgettable cast of luxury characters in the form of beautiful animals. The film will be showing in Czech cinemas in two versions: with the original English narration by Robert Redford with English subtitles for older viewers, or a Czech version for younger viewers, dubbed by Ivan Trojan.

It takes us to Algeria, where the famous actor served in the military, invites us to the bars in Saint-Benoît, where he partied with his lifelong friends Jean-Pierre Marielle, Jean Rochefort, Michel Beaune, Pierre Vernier and Charles Gérard. Jean-Paul Belmondo speaks about himself in this book, and assures us that it’s better to live a thousand times than just once.
