Although grappling with a crushing diagnosis, he still radiates energy and determination. Aware that time is not on his side, he aims to live life to the full. He creates some of his greatest works, sometimes by special commission, while also giving piano lessons for financial reasons. Admired by friends and adored by women, his longing for love and recognition spurs him on. In time, however, he comes to realise that the true centre of his life is music.

In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, as the world grapples with the unveiled horrors of the Holocaust, US Army psychiatrist Lt Col Douglas Kelley is assigned the extraordinary task of assessing the mental state of Hermann Göring, the notorious former Reichsmarschall and Hitler’s second-in-command, along with other high-ranking Nazi officials. As the Allies, led by the unyielding chief US prosecutor, Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, alongside Sgt Howie Triest, David Maxwell-Fyfe, Gustave Gilbert, Col John Amen and Burton C. Andrus, navigate the monumental task of creating an unprecedented international tribunal to ensure the Nazi regime answers for its atrocities, Kelley gets to know his ‘patients’. But he soon finds himself locked in a psychological duel with Göring, whose charisma and cunning reveal a sobering truth: that ordinary men can commit extraordinary evil.

Dubbed “the greatest that never was”, Sonny Hayes was Formula 1’s most promising prodigy of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former team-mate Ruben Cervantes, now the owner of a struggling Formula 1 outfit on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to return to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team — and proving he can still be the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce, the team’s hot-shot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him, and he finds that in Formula 1 your team-mate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not one you can travel alone.

Lech Majewski opens up the world of Jacek Malczewski, a symbolist painter from the turn of the twentieth century. In a wordless visual dialogue, the director recreates Poland’s history from the World War I to the present day. The characters from Malczewski’s canvases march through successive decades, fighting and fleeing various yokes. They traverse Siberia and Polish fields to arrive in a contemporary, urbanised homeland, immersed in apathetic consumption.

Franz, by director Agnieszka Holland, isn’t a biopic of the writer Franz Kafka but rather a film about what it means to be young, lost and different in a world in constant flux. Kafka would have been perfectly at home in the twenty-first century: a workaholic who despised faceless corporate bureaucracy; a man who preferred writing to his lovers over spending time with them and who could end relationships imperceptibly; a hard-core vegetarian; and a son whose father shouted at him to “be normal” while he was writing brilliant stories about waking up as a bug. The film tells a quietly amusing story that offers a more-than-realistic dive into one of the most iconic and thoughtful young men in world history – a man who essentially invented modern angst long before the internet existed.
