FILMS OUT THIS WEEK

This week is all about the healing power of love and laughter with Joker: Folie À Deux reaching cinemas, while bank-robbing siblings hope that Things Will Be Different and an actor contends with an altered face in A Different Man. The Battle For Laikipia charts tensions between pastoralists and white landowners in Kenya - we spoke to directors Daphne Matziaraki and Peter Murimi about it. A mute serial killer faces up to his past in The Deserving and there's a new instalment of the popular horror anthology series with V/H/S/Beyond. A troubled woman returns to Orkney in The Outrun, a teenager meets her older self in My Old Ass, and a urban planner pursues power in Megalopolis - read what Francis Ford Coppola said about it. A genius trapped in the body of a child takes on a mystery in anime Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Pentagram, friends share scary stories in Lore, German colonial history overshadows the present in Home Sweet Home: Where Evil Lives, and trafficked women make a break for freedom in Escape - we spoke with director Howard J Ford. All this, plus there are big screen rereleases for Akira Kurosawa classic Seven Samurai, Christopher Nolan science fiction tale Interstellar and teen favourite Mean Girls.

We also have a great selection of film and streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven.
