More Cate Blanchett, Fight Club, The Last Year of Darkness & Best Child Performances Kermode & Mayo’s Take

Join us for more witterings with Cate Blanchett – how lucky are you? Plus, Mark offers his take on films including ‘Fight Club’, David Fincher’s culture-defining skewering of masculinity and consumerism, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary; and ‘The Last Year of Darkness’, a documentary that offers a candid and intimate dive into Chinese nightclub culture.
This week’s One Frame Back is best child performances to coincide with the release of ‘The New Boy’, starring Cate Blanchett and young newcomer Aswan Reid.
Plus, Mark and Simon are on hand to help us decide what to watch, and what to avoid, this weekend.
