WHAT TO SEE THIS WEEK
Film Rojo
This intriguing Argentine puzzle-piece is set in 1975, a year before dissidents in the country started disappearing under the military dictatorship. Everything in it – including a deadly altercation in which small-town lawyer Claudio gets embroiled – feels like a foreshadowing of this dark, unsettling period in the country’s history, setting the scene with an ominous, elliptical power. Tim Robey 15 cert, 109 min
Dance Matthew Bourne’s Romeo and Juliet
Hopes were high for Bourne’s dance-theatre adaptation of Prokofiev’s wonderful score – and he has not disappointed. Set in a strange institution for “problematic” youngsters, this turns out to be completely exhilarating entertainment, among the smartest, sexiest, most stirring shows Bourne has ever created. Mark Monahan Birmingham Hippodrome (0844 338 5000), Tues-Sat and touring
Theatre Fleabag
The 2013 one-woman show that spawned a TV hit enjoys its last hurrah in the West End. The big revelation is writer and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s remarkable facility for physical as much as verbal comedy – her tour de force will get the magnifying-glass treatment on Thursday when the play is broadcast live to cinemas. Dominic Cavendish Wyndham’s Theatre, London WC2, until Sat (returns only)
Exhibitions Peter Doig
The Scottish “painter’s painter” returns with a show of 14 new canvases. Doig’s work depicts scenes from everyday Trinidadian life, but adds rogue elements and wild colours to re-envisage Port of Spain as a mysterious, glowing world. Too much art is taking shortcuts right now, but Doig isn’t. Go see a master at work. Cal Revely-Calder Michael Werner Gallery, London W1 (020 7495 6855), until Nov 16
