A husband-and-wife rediscover nature’s beauty and a renewed sense of vitality in this heartstring-pulling adaptation of a true-life tale.

Fifty-somethings Ray Winn and her husband Moth (Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs) receive a bad health diagnosis and court-ordered to vacate the only home they’ve known as a family due to insurmountable circumstances. They decide to walk the South-West Coast Path – the longest (630 miles) uninterrupted footpath in England – from Minehead to Poole along the Devon, Cornwall and Dorset coast armed only with a tent, limited supplies, very few clothes and the travelogue that inspired this trek. Helene Louvart’s excellent cinematography is a real highlight with filming locations including Padstow, Clovelly, Ilfracombe and some of the most beautiful rugged coast in the country, but do see if you can spot the scenes filmed at our very own West Wittering. This portrait of loss, humanity and rebirth is adapted from Raynor Winn’s personal memoir, with Anderson and Isaacs’ intimately textured performances standing out.

Wes Anderson’s brand-new film is simply a story of a family and a family business. But if we know anything about this director is that this will be anything but simple. Expect a super- A-list cast and a colourful hyper-stylized lens.

Benicio Del Toro stars as Zsa-zsa Korda, a maverick in the fields of armaments and aviation and one of the richest men in Europe. He is working on the Korda Land and Sea Phoenician Infrastructure Scheme, but he is being thwarted by powerful forces at every turn. He has ten children, including one daughter, a nun (Mia Threapleton, who happens to be Kate Winslet’s daughter), whom he designates the sole heir to his estate. In typical Anderson fashion, the adventure is a delight to look at and the list of stars who crave to be directed is almost endless. In this case: Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeffrey Wright, Rupert Friend, Mathieu Amalric, Jason Watkins, Riz Ahmed, Michael Cera and Richard Ayoade… WOW!
