FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
Old friends reunite this week in Pedro Almodóvar’s The Room Next Door - we spoke with stars Tilda Swinton and Alessandro Nivola - while a family is tormented by an abusive relative in The Front Room. The story of Milli Vanilli is dramatised in Girl You Know It's True, a murder accusation propels an actress to stardom in The Crime Is Mine, and a lawyer helps a cartel boss start a new life as a woman in Emilia Perez. A journalist investigates her own sexual assault in documentary Black Box Diaries, and the return of looted artworks to Benin is addressed in Dahomey. The story of a young Donald Trump making a Faustian pact is told in The Apprentice, while an infection tears through a French town in MadS. Contestants are forced into a deadly game show in DarkGame - see what director Howard J Ford told us about it - while middle-aged male strippers find themselves in supernatural peril in Members Club, a prisoner flees through a post-apocalyptic world in Azrael and there are re-releases for time travel tale Back To The Future Part II and horror classics A Nightmare On Elm Street and Halloween.
We also have a great selection of film and streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven. Plus read our selection of London Film Festival highlights.
