AT THE MOVIES #852                 NO EXPECTATIONS

 

Simon Morris welcomes the long-awaited James Bond film No time to die, and one of the artier hits of the Cannes Film Festival.  And he also checks out a less challenging French story about rose-growers.

 

No time to die is the final Bond film starring Daniel Craig as 007.   It features Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody), Lashana Lynch (Captain Marvel) and Ana de Armas (Knives out).

 

Annette is the long-awaited rock opera from art-rock duo, Sparks.   It premiered this year at Cannes, and stars Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard and 6-year-old Devyn McDowell.  Directed by Leos Carax (Holy Motors).

 

And The Rose Maker featured French star Catherine Frot (The Dinner Game) as a rose-grower on the verge of bankruptcy who gets assistance from an unexpected quarter.
