From Vietnamese director Trần Anh Hùng (The Scent of Green Papaya) comes a mouth-watering ‘gastromance’, superbly concocted by leads Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel.

France, 1885: Celebrated gourmet Dodin lives on an idyllic Loire Valley estate alongside Eugénie, his cook for over 20 years. Adapted from a 1924 novel by French epicure Marcel Rouff, this intimate, humorous and sensual story about love and food is executed with detail and practical precision but without a hint of sickliness. Opening with a bravura 40-minute sequence of preparation and indulgence in one epic meal, it’s a deep tribute to the closeness of collaborative work. A veritable feast.

Loosely based on the novel by Martin Amis, this bold, surgical probe into our capacity for zoning out on genocide is chilling indeed. Rudolf, Hedwig and their children live a pastoral idyll, in a bright villa with a cultivated garden full of roses and hothouse fruit. But the backdrop is a high wall with chimneys beyond, and behind the birdsong are other persistent but indistinguishable sounds. Rudolf Höss is the commandant of Auschwitz. Eschewing the conventions of Holocaust drama, Jonathan Glazer’s (Under the Skin) film penetrates the too bright surface of bourgeois domesticity with visual and aural precision to reveal the horrors beneath.

Andrew Haigh follows 45 Years with a sublime, uncommonly perceptive and moving film.

Adam (Fleabag’s Andrew Scott), a screenwriter living in a spookily empty London high rise, strikes up a relationship with his mysterious neighbour Harry (Mescal). At the same time, he makes a miraculous discovery at his old family home in the suburbs – one that keeps him returning. Using a metaphysical conceit to meditate on love, grief and profound loss, Haigh’s carefully modulated ghost story revisits the fears and traumas of a specific generation of gay men while illuminating the human condition more broadly.

Wry, endearing, thoughtful, this tale of a late-blooming heroine awakened by intimations of romance and mortality is utterly refreshing. 48-year-old Etero, single by choice, lives in a small Georgian village where she runs a toiletry store. Commanding and intelligent, possessed of a stoic independence and a dry wit, she cherishes her freedom as much as the mille-feuille she repeat-orders at her local café. But when a passionate encounter brings a new recklessness into her life, she must decide whether to pursue love or continue alone. Adapted from a first-person novel by Georgian author Tamta Melashvili, funny and sad by turns, Eka Chavleishvili is magnificent as the redoubtable Etero.

Outwardly simple, beautifully nuanced and utterly heartbreaking, Ozu’s Tokyo Story remains, even after 70 years, one of cinema’s most enduring masterpieces. Elderly couple Tomi and Shukichi decide to visit their grown-up children in bustling post-war Tokyo. The experience is bewildering; it’s a sweltering summer and they do not receive the welcome they deserve from their own offspring. A wealth of domestic detail reveals a compelling contrast between the dignity of age and the insensitivity of a younger generation. Stylised and restrained though it is, this is a film that manages to evoke exactly how fragile and ephemeral life is.

Director: Yasujirō Ozu

The classic Liverpool band are renowned for an endless string of soulful yet socially aware hits such as Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again, Harvest for the World as well as the Hillsborough charity number one single Ferry Across The Mersey.

The Christians enjoyed huge acclaim in the late 80s and early 90s and are headed by lead singer Garry Christian, who still deserves the Daily Mirror’s description as having “One of the finest voices in pop”.

They have recently had hugely successful recent tours with Go West, Hue & Cry and Roachford.
