SERIES: If you've been missing The Sopranos you should give Australia's Underbelly a try. Each of Underbelly's series are based on an individual true crime incident Down Under, most of which involved the gangland underworld. Or for something a little lighter, HBO's Life Too Short is its newest Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant series. It profiles a fictional version of Warwick Davis and follows his career as he attempts to become more than Hollywood's go-to "little man". Gervais and Merchant play his agents while there are cameos by Liam Neeson, Johnny Depp, Sting and more.
SUBTITLED: If you're looking for a gorgeous piece of historical drama, the French production Farewell My Queen covers the end of Marie Antoinette's reign, from the perspective of one of her ladies-in-waiting. Much of the film was actually shot at Versailles. Another more contemporary French film out this week is 17 Girls, which takes the true story of a number of Massachusetts high school girls who made a pact to get pregnant, and sets it in Brittany. Found Memories is a quiet and surreal portrait of a fictional village in Brazil where time seems to stand still. A young photographer arrives and has an impact on an old woman and the rest of the residents of the town.
DOCUMENTARY: The Other Dream Team is the story of the 1992 Lithuanian Olympic basketball team that rose from the ashes of Communism (and were aided by the Grateful Dead who helped pay for their Olympic journey and provided their tie-dye jerseys!)
