This week's TV lineup offers a rich mix of historical drama, biopic, comedy, and social realism. Highlights include James Vanderbilt's tense Nuremberg drama starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek, and Sam Taylor-Johnson's Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black.
In Nuremberg, Crowe plays a chillingly smug Hermann Göring opposite Malek as psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, assessing Nazi defendants. Back to Black features Marisa Abela's impressive vocal and emotional performance as Winehouse, focusing on her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil and family.
Jacques Tati's Trafic satirizes car culture with his Monsieur Hulot character, while Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon offers a gripping caper with Al Pacino and John Cazale. Netflix romcom People We Meet on Vacation follows travel writer Poppy and best friend Alex across picturesque locations.
Documentary The Realm of the Storks explores rural depopulation in Macedonia through a farmer's bond with an injured stork. Finally, Ken Loach's The Old Oak examines tensions in a former mining village welcoming Syrian refugees.
These films air across various channels from Friday to Sunday, offering diverse viewing options.
