Opponent, Ratcatcher, All You Need is Death, Best Kirsten Dunst Performances & Questions Schmestions Kermode & Mayo’s Take
-
- Film Reviews
Bonus reviews include ‘Opponent’, a drama about an Iranian wrestling champion’s complex battle for asylum for him and his family in Sweden; ‘Ratcatcher’, Scottish auteur Lynne Ramsay’s now-classic debut feature, which has been restored in 4K to celebrate its 25th anniversary, and follows a young boy’s life on a derelict Glaswegian council estate where killing rats has become a sport for local children; and ‘All You Need is Death’, which sees a young couple who collect rare folk ballads discover the dark side of love when they record and translate an ancient, taboo folk song from the deep, forgotten past.
This week’s One Frame Back is the best Kirsten Dunst performances to celebrate the release of her new film ‘Civil War’.
Mark and Simon help us decide what to watch, and what to avoid, this weekend.
Plus, they answer a few of your Questions (film-related) and Schmestions (non-film related), from the terrible movies they still love because they loved them as a kid to how they feel about using nuclear energy as a power source.
