Four new films to see this week

No other film this year will replicate the anxiety of modern existence quite like this day-in-the-life portrait of an overworked, production assistant, Angela , as he hustles, around Bucharest casting actors for a work-accident film. The director daringly structures Angela’s travails by mirroring another Romanian film, Angela Moves On , which follows a female taxi driver, also named Angela.

Directed by James Erskine, Rachel Ramsay. Featuring Brandi Chastain, Nicole Mangas, Silvia Zaragoza, Carol Wilson, Elena Schiavo, David Goldblatt. Limited release, 89 min Terrific documentary on the 1971 Women’s World Cup in Mexico. We hear plenty of sexist dismissals in the run-up to the event, but the final at the Azteca Stadium between Mexico and Denmark remains the best-attended women’s sporting event ever. Those unaware who ended up at that match will greatly enjoy the vigorous detailing of the tournament. There is, also, plenty of anger. Following the final, the soccer establishment closed ranks and shut down the teams.

Mark Mehigan: ‘If it wasn’t for cocaine, I would not be in recovery. I would have continued to get away with the drinking’Directed by Ava DuVernay. Starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Jon Bernthal, Niecy Nash-Betts, Vera Farmiga, Audra McDonald, Nick Offerman, Blair Underwood. 12A cert, limited release, 135 min

DuVernay takes the interesting decision to adapt Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Lies That Divide Us — a treatise on how racism relates to other discriminations — as a drama starring Ellis-Taylor as the author. It is not a wholly successful exercise. Some metaphors are clunky. The dialogue is often too on the nose. But it has value power as both didactic treatise and drama of recovery. There is something reassuring being said here about the restorative power of work.
