THE TRUTH (PG)

Preview AWARDWINNI­NG Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda ventures to France to make his first feature outside of his homeland and elicits an eye-catching central performanc­e from Catherine Deneuve.

She plays Fabienne Dangeville, grand dame of French cinema, who has a Cesar on the mantelpiec­e and commands the adoration of countrymen and women for her performanc­es.

Fabienne is poised to release a memoir entitled The Truth as she prepares for her next film.

Hitting the campaign trail to promote the book, Fabienne plays host to her screenwrit­er daughter Lumir (Juliette Binoche) and her actor husband Hank (Ethan Hawke).

They arrive from New York with their young daughter Charlotte (Clémentine Grenier).

As Lumir reads her mother’s book, she is staggered by the extent of Fabienne’s deception, trotting out rose-tinted anecdotes that never happened to polish her public image.

The divide between reality and fiction forces the two women to address their difference­s and seek common ground.

JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK: APOKOLIPS WAR (15)

Preview A SIX-YEAR animated journey, which began in 2014 with Justice League War, reaches a thrilling crescendo in the latest chapter of DC Universe Movies, directed by Matt Peters and Christina Sotta.

As the title suggests, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War begins in darkness with Earth largely destroyed by intergalac­tic tyrant Darkseid (voiced by Tony Todd) following a devastatin­g battle with the DC Super Heroes.

Humanity stands on the brink of extinction and Constantin­e (Matt Ryan), Superman, (Jerry O’Connell) and Raven (Taissa Farmiga) vow to assemble an army of otherworld­ly beings for a last stand against Darkseid.

They rely heavily on Justice League survivors Batman (Jason O’Mara), Cyborg (Shemar Moore), The Flash (Christophe­r Gorham) and Wonder Woman (Rosario Dawson) as well as plucky reporter Lois Lane (Rebecca Romijn) and Lex Luthor (Rainn Wilson).

■ Available from May 18 on DVD/Blu-ray and to from May 19 on download and streaming services.
