This week Jason Solomons delves into the complex world of social networking when he meets Nev Schulman, the subject of Catfish, a documentary that traces the Facebook romance between New Yorker Nev and Megan from rural Michigan. As their relationship deepens and Nev heads out on a misson to meet his sweetheart it transpires that reality is in this instance much stranger then fiction.
Continuing in this eerie vein, Jason meets British director Richard Bracewell whose thriller Cuckoo follows the story of medical student Polly, who fears for her sanity. The lead is played by Laura Fraser but there are also great central performances from Richard E Grant and Tamsin Greig.
Xan Brooks is on hand to review some of this week's other releases including Tron: Legacy, starring Jeff Bridges young and old; Cher and Christina Aguilera high-kicking their way through Burlesque; Italian drama Loose Cannons and two classic re-issues: Jean Renoir's Boudu Saved From Drowning and Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart in Ernst Lubitsch's The Shop Around The Corner.
