Director Mohammad Rasoulof had escaped a prison sentence in Iran just days before his latest film screened at the Cannes Film Festival this year. “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” went on to stun critics and win the Jury Prize. Critic Emma Jones tells us why it was her favourite film of the festival and how Rasoulof managed to incorporate the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests to great effect. We also discuss Francis Ford Coppola’s epic project “Megalopolis” and see James McAvoy in a chilling new role in “Speak No Evil”. Plus, French actress and director Julie Delpy injects her unique humour into “Meet the Barbarians”, a comedy about a community’s response to refugees in France.
