Spielberg revamps Bernstein, young Tony is lured by the mob, Phyllida Lloyd tackles spousal abuse, Top Gun returns – and Daniel Craig calls time on 007 with bangs galore
Quite the strangest film of the year: the glam art-pop duo Sparks – Ron and Russell Mael – have created what fans think may be their masterpiece: a colossal movie-opera melodrama, directed by the French auteur Leos Carax. Adam Driver plays a moody LA standup comedian who is in love with an opera singer played by Marion Cotillard. Together, they have a baby (named Annette) who looks weirdly like a marionette doll and this semi-alien creature’s own staggering singing voice enraptures the world and leads her father to a tragic destiny. Freaky.
