Dheepan - Sunday 2nd October 5pm

As we come to terms with the Brexit vote, let's not forget the many millions who are desperate to live in Europe. Dheepan is one of those in this week's film; escaping from the battles of the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, he co-opts Yalini and Illayaal to play his wife and child, to give them all a better chance of getting asylum in France.

Director Jacques Audiard has already had much success with films about people in desperate situations ('A Prophet' and 'Rust and Bone') but this one has finally won him the Palme D'Or at Cannes Film Festival and promises to leave us with plenty to talk about.
