Why does summer cinema repeatedly bring us back to disasters, escapes, and superhero battles? A lecture and screening of Sofia Coppola's film transform the usual conversation about blockbusters into a reflection on desires, fatigue, and rituals of the warm season, when the theater becomes a cool refuge from the world and a point of new perspective on oneself. Summer releases often seem like a territory of simple relaxation: heat outside, dark hall, big screen, stories with chases, accidents, roads, and saving the world. But behind this familiar scheme lies a more complex mechanism. Cinema gathers anxiety, a desire for freedom, fatigue from the everyday, and transforms them into a spectacle that can be experienced safely. Philosopher and film critic Mikhail Vitushko will suggest looking at the blockbuster as a cultural ritual. Why is it so important for the viewer to see destruction again, from which no one truly suffers beside them? Why does road cinema provide a sense of movement even to those who remain in their seats? How do superhero finales promise to reassemble chaos and return the world to a form that can be believed in, if only for a couple of hours?
