AT THE MOVIES #649 – TO BOLDLY GO…
Simon Morris reviews the 13th Star Trek film, Star Trek beyond, and looks at the history of the series, from moderately successful TV show, to world-wide obsession. He also looks at two independent films – from the US, Demolition, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts, and from Iceland, the film that was a sensation at Cannes last year, Rams.
Featured this week – Star Trek beyond, directed by Justin Lin, of Fast and furious fame…
Demolition is the new film from Jean-Marc Vallee, of Dallas Buys’ Club fame…
And an interview with Icelandic director Grimur Hakonarson, whose film Rams won the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
