Description
We take a look at some of the summer blockbusters filling air-conditioned movie theatres around the globe, as film critic Lisa Nesselson showcases some of the more enticing meteorological, extraterrestrial and fantastical pictures coming to the big screen. Jacque Audiard’s award-winning “Emilia Perez” opens in French cinemas after a warm reception at the Cannes Film festival, and with Paris poised to welcome the Olympic Games, we check out a documentary following the city’s preparations. A group screening French films with English subtitles means that movie fans can enjoy a rich selection of features with nothing getting “Lost in Frenchlation” and we learn why Abel Gance’s 1927 “Napoléon” warrants its spectacular new release.
