FILMS OUT THIS WEEK

A injured sheriff's officer finds herself alone and under siege this week in Jericho Ridge - we interviewed director and star Will Gilbey and Chriss Reilley - while a block of flats is overwhelmed by spiders in Infested - director Sébastien Vanicek gave us the low down. A man who was branded a witch in childhood returns home in Omen, a young bride-to-be questions the expectation of virginity in Elaha, and a retired hitman runs into trouble in In The Land Of Saints And Sinners - see out interview with star Jack Gleeson. The story of Louis XV's mistress is told in Jeanne Du Barry - read what Johnny Depp said about it, while a film director finds himself returning to a mystery from his past in Close Your Eyes. 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. Art documentary series Exhibition On Screen turns its gaze to John Singer Sargent: Fashion And Swagger, a family flees disaster in On Fire, and there's a big screen rerelease for Keanu Reeves actioner Speed.
