Top Films Screening This Week
The big release is A Useful Ghost, winner of best film at Cannes Critics’ Week. This bizarre blend of Marxist thriller and supernatural romance follows a woman reincarnated as a vacuum cleaner. Expect foul-mouthed monks and in-law drama in this oddball treat. Also hitting screens is On the Sea, a graceful tale of repression and queer desire in a Welsh mussel-harvesting community. Barry Ward and Lorne MacFadyen deliver fine performances.
