Eventually, he marries a wedding singer, and their relationship evolves from one of mutual interests into an unexpected emotional and musical journey filled with surprising twists.

BETTER MAN
Director: Michael Gracey
Singer Robbie Williams, the one-time cheeky star of the boy band Take That, often said that he felt like a performing monkey for his whole creative life. Director Michael Gracey, best known for The Greatest Showman, duly represents Williams as a monkey in this sensational biopic. It is an outrageous idea, but it works. Williams himself voices the monkey, but his involvement does not mean his tabloid-fodder life of fame, disgrace, humiliation and ultimate resurgence gets watered down. We see it all: the bad behavior, his terrible boyfriend instincts, being a neglectful son and an unbearable workmate. But by highlighting his trademark humor, compelling honesty and irresistible showmanship, Robbie trumps again. There is also a slew of great pop songs to sing-a-long to.
LITTLE JAFFNA
Director: Lawrence Valin
“You’re not in Paris any more. You’re in Little Jaffna.” During the civil war in Sri Lanka that raged from 1983 until 2009, Tamils in the Parisian district of Little Jaffna were forced to contribute towards buying arms for Tamil Tigers. Aya, ostensibly a grocer, leads the ruthless extortion gang that bleeds the community dry. Michael, a straight-shooting young police officer with Tamil roots, is sent to infiltrate the organization but as he befriends the gang’s members at terrible risk to himself, he starts to see the issue in a more nuanced way and feels his loyalties shifting. Valin combines the theatricality of Tamil movies with the hard edge of new French cinema, using largely non-professional actors, in this spectacular thriller.
