FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
Fishermen travel in time this week in Rose Of Nevada - see our interview with director Mark Jenkin. Jude Law plays Putin in The Wizard Of The Kremlin - director Olivier Assayas shared his thoughts - while environmental disaster changes lives in Rebuilding - see what director Max Walker-Silverman told us about it. A man looks back on his failed relationships in Departures and a family is drawn into the history of a house in Colours of Time - we interviewed director Cédric Klapisch. A strange new family forms in Mirrors No. 3 - we spoke with director Christan Petzold - while an indigenous man and his white brother catch up in the wildly animated Endless Cookie. An older woman travels along the Amazon in The Blue Trail - director Gabriel Mascaro shared his thoughts - and a rapidly spready infection traps people in a supermarket in Itch! Meanwhile, anime classic Akira bursts back onto the big screen and there are also rereleases for genre-bender Fight Club and dance and romance flick Strictly Ballroom.
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 and podcast.
