As Venice Film Festival wrapped up and Toronto Film Festival kicked off, things are heating up here in London, with the 65th London Film Festival press screening schedule starting next Monday morning. I'm looking forward to catching up with the big titles from Sundance, Cannes and Venice over the next few weeks - both at in-person screenings and using online links. But more and more screenings are taking place in cinemas now, and the biggest one so far was
Dune: Part One on Britain's largest Imax screen. Frankly, movies don't get much more momentous, or jaw-droppingly satisfying, than this. Essential to see on a huge screen.

Other movies I watched this week included the filmed version of the hugely engaging, life-affirming stage musical
Come From Away, the rather uneven but urgently pointed British drama
A Brixton Tale, the remarkably thoughtful horror drama
The Djinn, the loose and rather nutty social media comedy-thriller
The Influencer. Even further afield, there was Bruce La Bruce's latest provocation, the superbly intriguing
Saint-Narcisse; the stylised and remarkably involving Norwegian pregnancy comedy-drama
Ninjababy; and the earthy, intensely provocative Hungarian war drama
Natural Light.
In the coming week, I already have six screenings in the diary for London Film Festival (which starts on October 6th). In addition, I'll be watching the
Sopranos prequel
The Many Saints of Newark, Dev Patel in
The Green Knight, Ben Whishaw in
Surge, the horror thriller
Gaia and the shorts collection
Parental Guidance.
