FILMS OUT THIS WEEK

Palestinian parents try to make sense of the loss of their son this week in All That’s Left Of You, two young men meet in a support group in Twinless, and rewilding in Ariège is explored in The Shepherd And The Bear - see our interview with director Max Keegan. A writer overcomes a difficult childhood in The Chronology Of Water and stories are used to fend off seduction in 100 Nights Of Hero. An iconic moment in French cinematic history is dramatised in awards favourite Nouvelle Vague - read what director Richard Linklater had to say about it. Meanwhile, a rabid pet chimp threatens teenagers in Primate, and the story of an erotic model who became a US public figure is told in Melania. An English couple get out of their depth in rural Wales in Rabbit Trap, and a man going through divorce tries to reinvent himself as a comedian in Is This Thing On?

In addition to the above, we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven.
