CULTURE EDITION
4 October Aaron Schimberg’s thoughtful, A Different Man
sometimes strange, doppelganger fable sees Adam Pearson shine as an aspiring actor who undergoes transformative surgery – then played by Sebastian Stan – and later, the double of Sebastian Stan who comes back to mock his lack of confidence.
Salem’s Lot
11 October Just in time for the season of spooks and chills, the latest Stephen King adaptation is helmed by the producers behind the It franchise. An author heads to his childhood home, only to find it is plagued by a bloodthirsty new resident, before teaming up with the locals to exorcise them.
The Apprentice
25 October With this tender, weighty, Golden Lion- winning adaptation of a Sigrid Nunez novel, Pedro Almodóvar returns to his theme of flawed mothers – this time played by Tilda Swinton as a world- weary war correspondent who rekindles a relationship with an old colleague (Julianne Moore). The Room Next Door
18 October This audacious drama from Ali Abbasi has been likened to a real-life-villain origin story – it chronicles a young Donald Trump’s ascent to power by striking a murky deal with right-wing fixer Roy Cohn. Sebastian Stan gives his second terrific performance this month.
