FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
An early recording project leads to romance this week in The History Of Sound, a run of bad luck prompts a man to go to extremes in No Other Choice, and a bereaved woman trains a bird of prey in H Is For Hawk. A lonely actor reconnects with life by playing real people in Rental Family, and you can further explore the world after the rage virus in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, while the slaughter of a Palestinian family is remembered in docudrama The Voice Of Hind Rajab. Steven Spielberg's pared-down thriller Duel returns to cinemas, and there's also a 25th anniversary big screen rerelease for Peter Jackson's The Fellowship Of The Ring: Extended Edition, The Two Towers: Extended Edition and The Return Of The King: Extended Edition.
Plus we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven.
