FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning explodes into cinemas this week, while a conductor meets the brother he never knew existed 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, and 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. One of history's greatest artists is profiled in Michelangelo: Love And Death, 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.
