We break down the premieres and decide what to watch in September in cinemas.

As cinemas begin to open everywhere, and some are already actively operating, September is set to mark the beginning of a new era of theatrical entertainment. There will be plenty of interesting releases at the start of autumn, so today's overview will help you decide what to watch in September in cinemas.

All hopes for the revival of theatrical distribution are placed on the long-awaited blockbuster by Christopher Nolan, Tenet.

Time inversion, a multi-layered plot, unusual action, Yuri Kolokolnikov — this film has plenty to surprise and delight the audience. Without a doubt, Nolan's work deserves our title of “Film of the Month”.

Cast:

• John David Washington
• Robert Pattinson
• Elizabeth Debicki

• Aaron Taylor-Johnson
• Michael Caine

It's hard to believe, but Josh Boone's The New Mutants, about five mutants trapped in a secret facility, is finally getting a wide release after going through all the circles of production hell.

Judging by the first reviews from Western critics, the film is unlikely to become an international hit or a new word in the superhero genre. Nevertheless, watching young and talented actors in new roles is always enjoyable and interesting.

Cast:

• Maisie Williams
• Anya Taylor-Joy
• Charlie Heaton
• Alice Braga

Another live-action remake of the iconic Disney animated film was supposed to debut back in spring, but the pandemic made its adjustments, and now the story of a strong and independent heroine can be seen among the first premieres after coronavirus restrictions.

The new version of Mulan is one of those films where you know exactly what to expect, which doesn't affect the desire to watch it. The bar for entertainment blockbusters is traditionally kept high by Disney.

Cast:

• Liu Yifei
• Donnie Yen
• Gong Li
• Jet Li
• Jason Scott Lee

There will also be something to watch in September for fans of auteur cinema. Kitty Green's film The Assistant is another sharp statement on the topic of harassment.

The lead role in the project is played by the talented Julia Garner, previously seen in the series "Ozark." To be fair, the film is already available online, but if you want to watch a solid thriller with a dramatic slant in the cinema, this is a good option.

Cast:

• Julia Garner
• Owen Holland
• Jonathan Orsini
• Rory Culkin

The most anticipated domestic premiere of September is the new work by Alexei Uchitel's son Ilya about the legendary Soviet footballer titled Streltsov.

The scandalously famous figure in Soviet history is played by Alexander Petrov, an avid football fan. In recent years, Russian cinema has seen both successful films about the number one sport and outright failures. We'll soon find out which category Streltsov falls into.

Cast:

• Alexander Petrov
• Stasya Miloslavskaya
• Alexander Yatsenko
• Vitaly Khaev
• Viktor Dobronravov

Towards the end of September, the festival hit Christian Petzold's Undine will hit the screens.

The dramatic love story snagged two awards at the Berlin Film Festival. Soon, domestic audiences will be able to see what makes this Franco-German film so good.

Cast:

• Paula Beer
• Franz Rogowski
• Maryam Zare
• Jacob Matschenz
• Anne Ratte-Polle
