The rerun at the beginning of January is part of the “Best of Cinema” series, in which, in cooperation with the film company Studiocanal, movie classics come back to the cinema every first Tuesday of the month. More than 300 cinemas take part nationwide.

Another remake of “Death on the Nile” is expected to appear in February: Briton Kenneth Branagh took over the role of Hercule Poirot and also directed it. The stars Gal Gadot, Annette Bening and Armie Hammer are also there. dpa
