+ Getting down to business
The rerelease of the office comedy 9 to 5 offers a timely opportunity to consider Hollywood's ambiguous relationship with the world of work, explored in satirical films that pose the central question: should we accept the system, leave the system or change the system? By Hannah McGill.
Trigger Happy
The Coen brothers' The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is an anthology of six violent tales of the American frontier. Here they ponder the intractable links between character, story and setting in the western, the pros and cons of digital filmmaking and why there are no stories about Serbians in the movie. By Ben Walters.
Bringing Up Baby
Hosoda Mamoru's Mirai mixes delicate realism and psychological acuity with fantasy leaps through family history, in a tale of a jealous four-year-old boy whose home life is turned upside down by the arrival of a baby sister. By Nick Bradshaw.
No Place Like Home
Sebastian Lelio's Disobedience explores the forbidden love affair between two women from an Orthodox Jewish community in north-west London. Here the director discusses quietude in his films, being an outsider in London and what his tale owes to mythological storytelling. By Nick James.
Return of the Native
Employing his signature blend of analytical detachment, wry humour and unsentimental compassion, Nuri Bilge Ceylan tells the story of a young man with uncertain prospects reluctantly returning to the town where he grew up, in the complex, elegant The Wild Pear Tree. By Geoff Andrew.
