FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
The story of Louis XV's mistress is told this week in Jeanne Du Barry - read what Johnny Depp said about it - while a man tries to exploit the rising celebrity of Christ in The Book Of Clarence and an office worker has a chance at romance in Sometimes I Think About Dying. Irish folk song collectors mess with the forbidden in All You Need Is Death - we spoke with director Paul Duane - there's space opera action in Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver and the story of photography is explored in Fantastic Machine. A father tries to save his daughter from addiction in Bleeding Love - see our interview with star Ewan McGregor - while an Iranian immigrant in Sweden wrestles with his demons in Opponent - we interviewed director Milad Alami - and art documentary series Exhibition On Screen turns its gaze to John Singer Sargent: Fashion And Swagger. A photographer falls foul of a curse in Disappear Completely - we spoke with director Luis Javier Henaine, a family flees disaster in On Fire, and there are big screen rereleases for Keanu Reeves actioner Speed and Lynne Ramsay's Ratcatcher.
We also have a great selection of film and streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven, plus read our Streaming Spotlight on the Cannes Class of 23.
