Film show: Monkey avatar tells Robbie Williams’ story in ‘Better Man’

Film critic Emma Jones tells us why the CGI chimp who stands in for Robbie Williams does a good job at conveying the British pop star’s fundamental loneliness in the quirky biopic “Better Man”. We also discuss Mel Gibson’s latest stint behind the camera in “Flight Risk”, as Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Dockery provide some old-fashioned comic relief in this cockpit-set caper. Meanwhile, French film “The Quiet Son” sees Vincent Lindon put in an award-winning performance as the single father of two young men, as filmmakers Delphine and Muriel Coulin explore the socio-economic reality in the east of France. Plus we check out a new take on the life of German anti-Nazi theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
