Sam Clements talks to filmmaker Jeff Nichols about his new film, The Bikeriders - in cinemas now.

Taking inspiration from Danny Lyon’s 1968 photo collection ‘The Bikeriders’, Jeff Nichols’ latest invites us to 1960’s Chicago, where the Vandals – a motorcycle club whose membership includes leader Johnny (Tom Hardy), Benny (Elvis’ Austin Butler), Cal (Boyd Holbrook), and Zipco (Michael Shannon) – evolves from being a place for local outsiders into something decidedly more sinister.

One such outsider is Kathy (Jodie Comer, adopting a thick upper midwestern accent), who gives us an insider’s perspective of the gang’s rise and fall. Come for the stacked cast, stay for the beautiful visuals and ambitious story.

Freda Cooper talks to actors Stephen Fry and Lena Dunham about their new film, Treasure, which is in cinemas right now.

TREASURE is an impactful and moving film from writer/director Julia Von Heinz based on the book Too Many Men by Lily Brett. The film is the third in von Heinz’s ‘Aftermath Trilogy’ exploring the legacy of Germany’s Nazi past following 2013’s Hanna’s Journey and And Tomorrow the Entire World, Germany’s 2020 Oscar submission. It stars Lena Dunham (“Girls,” Sharp Stick) and Stephen Fry (V For Vendetta, Wilde).

A father-daughter road trip set in 1990s Poland, TREASURE follows Ruth (Dunham), an American music journalist, and her father, Edek (Fry), a charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor, on a journey to his homeland. While Ruth is eager to make sense of her family’s past, Edek embarks on the trip with his own agenda. This emotional, funny culture clash of two New Yorkers exploring post-socialist Poland is a powerful example of how reconnecting with family and the past can be an unexpected treasure.

Felicity Beckett speaks to Isabella Tree, author of Wilding, about how her story is now a film showing at Picturehouse Cinemas across the UK.

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, WILDING tells the incredible story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. They set to work with their groundbreaking vision, battling entrenched tradition and major forces along the way, daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe and beyond.
