MUST-SEE FILMS

On your mark … get set, type! with Populaire, a cotton-candy confection of a film about Rose Pamphyle (Déborah François), a secretary in 1950s France, and her boss (Romain Duris), who dream of triumph at the world speed-typing championships. Domhnall Gleeson travels through time to fall in love with Rachel McAdams in About Time. Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street reveals the corruption of the corporate banking world (Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, the former brokerage firm founder indicted for securities fraud and money laundering). Nicole Kidman evokes the magic of an icon in Grace of Monaco. And Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom chronicles the life of South Africa’s legendary politician.
