Hugh Jackman has had one of the more interesting careers of any actor working consistently in Hollywood today. Jackman earned an Oscar nomination 13 years ago for his performance in Les Misérables, which co-stars Russell Crowe, but it’s not what he’s become remembered for in the larger scope of his career. Jackman has become synonymous with playing Wolverine, the jaded Marvel mutant whom he first starred as in the Fox X-Men movies before crossing over to the MCU a few years ago in Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman first played the character more than 25 years ago in the first X-Men movie with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, and he’s expected to continue playing the clawed mutant, at least through Avengers: Secret Wars next year. Jackman has always found time for other roles, though, even between big Marvel blockbusters.

Ben Croll takes us through four films from the Cannes Film Festival which are being released in cinemas this week. One of France's biggest film events of the year is Antonin Baudry's "De Gaulle: Resistance", the first of a two-part WWII epic centred on French general Charles de Gaulle, from the fall of France in 1940 to the liberation in 1945.

Critic Emma Jones tells us why North Macedonian production "DJ Ahmet", starring first-time actors, is a gem of an independent movie and proof that the small country punches well above its weight when it comes to cinema. We also discuss unsettling thriller "The Plague", starring Joel Edgerton, as a group of teenage boys at a swimming camp prompts comparisons with "Lord of The Flies"-style dynamics. Plus, body horror "Saccharine" explores contemporary obsessions with weight loss and body image, and the "Scary Movie" horror spoof franchise returns for a sixth outing, 26 years after its Y2K debut.
