FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
A woman recalls life in post-war Japan this week in A Pale View Of Hills, while the story of Hitler's food testers is told in The Tasters, and a day of resistance in Glasgow is remembered in Everybody To Kenmure Street - see what director Felipe Bustos Sierra. Four girls are connected across time in Sound Of Falling, while danger waits in the woods in Dolly - we interviewed director Rod Blackhurst. Exhibition on Screen looks at the artists Turner & Constable, and there's are big screen rereleases for western survival tale The Revenant and David Lynch's The Straight Story.
In addition to the above, we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven, and there's more to explore in our Eye for books column.
