Logan, the last Wolverine film, turns its back on the usual X Men superhero genre and sends Hugh Jackman on a final quest to save a girl.

Alone in Berlin pits two ordinary Germans - played by Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson - against the might of the Third Reich.

And Tusi Tamasese talks about his new film, One Thousand Ropes - a film inspired by the legend of Maui, Japanese ghost stories, and the films of Clint Eastwood.
