The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015)

FILM4, 9.00PM ★★★★

This sequel to the coming-of-oldage comedy, about a flock of English pensioners who migrate to India, is an improvement on its twee predecessor. Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Celia Imrie, Bill Nighy, etc, all play to their strengths but the film finds something profound in their decision to see life out in a place so teeming with it. Tamsin Greig and Richard Gere star as two new guests.
