Viggo Mortensen performs admirably nuanced in the highly critically acclaimed Western about forgiveness and the search for peace that takes place in Algeria. The title is Loin des Hommes / Far from Men / Flugten til frihed, depending on your preferred language. Oh, and Nick Cave and Warren Ellis did the brilliant score, so there is that, too.

Also in cinemas now is a comedy-drama in which Ben Stiller pines for a wild, free-spirited youth he never really had. While We’re Young has a very solid cast that also features Naomi Watts, Adam Driver, Amanda Seyfried and Adam Horovitz, also known as the former Beastie Boy Ad-Rock.

This week’s premieres include Brad Bird’s sci-fi drama about hoping for a better future and a dramatic love story about the past. France in World War II, to be precise.
