FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
A conductor meets the brother he never knew existed this week, in The Marching Band - see our interviews with director Emmanuel Courcol and star Pierre Cottin. A couple get a disturbing call from their daughter in Hallow Road, while there's a documentary look at a father raising his kids close to nature in A New Kind Of Wilderness - see what director Silje Evensmo Jacobsen told us about it - and a disabled football fan takes on an epic cycling journey in Make It To Munich - we spoke with director Martyn Robertson. Meanwhile, Nicolas Cage will do anything to hit the waves in The Surfer, while a man on the run begins a dangerous affair in Motel Destino, and teenagers encounter a deadly threat in Clown In A Cornfield. Documentarians have to rethink their approach in Seeking Mavis Beacon and Riefenstahl scrutinises the life and work of the German director - see our conversation with its director, Andres Veiel.
In addition to this, we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven.
