Amaya Toman Together with the end of the next week, on the website of Jablíčkára, we bring you tips on news from the program offer of the HBO GO streaming service. This weekend you can look forward to the drama Maelström, the thriller Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins or the Frozen Trap with Liam Neeson.
Maelstrom
Rich model Bibiane (Marie-Josée Croze) questions her seemingly perfect life after a traumatic miscarriage. Her business in the family chain of boutiques ends in fiasco, and one night she accidentally runs over a person. The next morning, he learns about a man who died after a collision with a car. Wracked with guilt, she attends his funeral. There she meets the surviving son Evian (Jean-Nicolas Verreault) and starts a love affair with him. However, she is afraid to reveal her dark secret to him... An existential story full of paradoxes, in which mystical, symbolic, comic and romantic scenes take place, has an unusual collective narrator: Norwegian fish destined for Canadian restaurants.
Her name was Jo
Ten-year-old Jo spends her days on the banks of the Shenandoah River with her imaginary friend Selma. He fishes, searches for metals and tries to survive. Her only solace is her late mother's old CD, recorded by her father, folk singer Johnny Alvarez. She secretly listens to him all night and dreams of meeting him one day. The opportunity arises after the death of her abusive stepfather, who overdoses on heroin. Jo doesn't make a fuss at first, but before long she runs out of money and her body starts to stink. He throws it into the river and flees from the police. With Selma by her side, she steals Bill's battered car, sells his tools and old television, and heads to Los Angeles in hopes of finding her biological father.
The world at the edge of the world
The love story from the workshop of director Mona Fastvold and screenwriters Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen takes place in the American Northeast in the 19th century and follows four characters who struggle not only with the elements of nature, but also with harrowing isolation. A farmer's wife Abigail (Katherine Waterston) and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) are extremely attracted to each other. Grieving Abigail cares for her reclusive husband Dyer (Casey Affleck), while free-spirited Tallie is plagued by the possessive behavior of jealous husband Finney (Christopher Abbott). The intimate bond that forms between the two women fills a void in their lonely lives. Can intense interpersonal relationships overcome isolation?
Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins
Henry Golding stars as the iconic GI JOE hero Snake Eyes in this action-adventure, hailed by critics as "the origin story we've been waiting for." In the fight against the terrorist group Cobra, he teams up with a noble Japanese ninja named Storm Shadow (Andrew Koji), who allows him to train with members of the ancient Arashikage warrior clan. Snake Eyes becomes a perfect warrior after rigorous training. However, his honor and loyalty will undergo a great test that could mean the loss of everything he has ever fought for. Other roles feature Úrsula Corberó as Baroness and Samara Weaving as Scarlett.
Freezing trap
A hard-to-access diamond mine collapses in a remote area of northern Canada. A group of miners will remain trapped in it, gradually running out of oxygen. Their only hope for rescue is a team led by an experienced truck driver (Liam Neeson) capable of overcoming a dangerous journey across the frozen ocean. This almost impossible mission is complicated not only by the great distance and the violent storm, but also by the advancing snow. However, none of this compares to their main threat…
One and stupidity next to the other.
