A Bigger Splash is released on the 12th February 2016. It is directed by Luca Guadagnino, and stars Dakota Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Matthias Schoenaerts and Tilda Swinton. It is the updated remake of La Piscine, a psychosexual drama by Jacques Deray from 1969, starring legends Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, Jane Birkin and Maurice Ronet. In many ways it does not live up to the original film despite the amazing backdrop of Pantelleria.

Disney has always been very versatile and over the years has produced funny films, animation, comedies, dramas, documentaries, superheroes. The finest hours is not going to be a blockbuster or a very commercial film but it’s a good real story movie about the greatest small boat rescue mission in history. It is very educational and as such very tough sometimes, certainly not suitable for the faint-hearted. I went to see it and I can now tell you how to cope as the The Finest Hours storms into UK cinemas on 19 February 2016.
