Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh challenges his directorial skills through this clever ghostly tale shot entirely from the perspective of a ghost. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their fresh home, the lens – representing the ghost – shadows their actions.

Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor fully commits to his cult stardom through this autobiographical spoof. He plays a narcissistic Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who takes on a million-dollar gig to appear at a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy Javi, played by Pedro Pascal.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin profiting from the nation's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and bad faith, though Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, late night, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's additional entry by the same director presents a spy mystery as precise similar to the collars used by Fassbender's British agent.
