Jim Jarmusch’s Venice Golden Lion-winning comedy navigates the sometimes tender, sometimes awkward interactions between the bohemian generation and their adult children.

A return to the interlinked stories and international panorama format of Night on Earth, Jarmusch’s drama features a series of stories that concern familial relationships marked by emotional detachment. An engaging character study whose connecting motifs subtly reveal themselves, it’s beautifully shot by Frederick Elmes and Yorick le Saux, and features a fine cast, including the director’s lucky charm, Tom Waits, along with Charlotte Rampling, Vicky Krieps and Indya Moore.

In Hasan Hadi’s engrossing debut, a young girl is faced with the challenge of baking a cake for her school’s celebration of Saddam Hussein’s birthday.

Though considered a great honour, nine-year-old Lamia’s task feels impossible, as she and her grandmother Bibi already struggle to get by. But armed with a shopping list and her pet rooster, Lamia remains determined as she sets off to find ingredients. A child’s eye view of a dictatorship, The President’s Cake skilfully navigates between the comic and the tragic.

Prolific shapeshifter Josh O’Connor (La Chimera, Challengers, The Mastermind, Wake Up Dead Man) plays a reserved father searching for a way back after catastrophe in Max Walker-Silverman’s (A Love Song) soulful story of the American West.

Rebuilding follows Dusty (O’Connor), a stoic cowboy whose ranch was destroyed in a devastating wildfire. Now based in a trailer community on a government-run campsite, Dusty finds solace with his new neighbours, quietly reassembles his life, and strengthens his bonds with his ex-wife Ruby (The White Lotus’s Meghann Fahy) and their young daughter Callie-Rose (Lily LaTorre). Shot against the majestic landscapes of southern Colorado, Rebuilding is a sensitive portrait of resilience, the increasing precarity of the natural world and the struggle to regain hope and trust after traumatic loss.

Baz Luhrmann’s extraordinary documentary may be the most poignant account of Elvis Presley’s life and career to date, featuring long-lost footage from his epochal 1970s residency in Las Vegas.

Baz Luhrmann returns to the subject of his most audacious film — 2022’s Elvis — with the extraordinary EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Free of contemporary interviews with experts, critics or other stakeholders, the film is propelled by recently discovered archival footage shot at the beginning of the famed performer’s Las Vegas residency. Originally intended to last a few weeks at the International Hotel, the 1969 engagement was shockingly lucrative, and stretched on for over seven years.

Brilliantly compiled with an aficionado’s enthusiasm and sensitivity, the film shifts skilfully between rehearsals, where Presley is cheerful, hard-working, even goofy, and live performances that vary from powerful and grandiose to rushed. There are moments where he can’t keep up with the breakneck arrangements and loses his breath. (He was booked to do at least two shows most days.) Among the standouts are “Polk Salad Annie” and “Burning Love,” a chart-topper he cut in early 1972. There are also cutaways to an army of excited celebrities attending the shows and a nod to Presley’s journey from scandalous hip-shaker to showbiz icon.

Luhrmann’s previous feature stressed Presley manager Colonel Tom Parker’s disastrous impact on his client’s artistic growth and ability to tour internationally. Here, the focus lands on Presley’s musicianship and his interactions with band members and singers. What’s revealed is his deep knowledge of gospel, blues, and country traditions, and his instinctive feel for finding the best arrangements and pace for his songs. This is perhaps the most poignant account of Presley to date.

Soon after the Thompson family’s arrival in the countryside, the three children – Joe, Beth, and Fran – discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents, including Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot, and Saucepan Man. At the top of the tree, they’re transported to spectacular and fantastical lands and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the Thompsons learn to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years.

Based on the Enid Blyton classic children’s story, the cast also includes British stars Lenny Henry, Jennifer Saunders, Michael Palin, Rebecca Ferguson, Mark Heap and Simon Russell-Beale.
