SHANE MEADOWS
Self-doubts begone – with work like TwentyFourSeven, This is England and The Virtues, Shane Meadows is one of the finest British directors working today. So to mark the rerelease of his 2004 drama Dead Man’ s Shoes, Total Film sits down with Meadows to discuss how his troubled youth infuses the personal and political nature of his work, and how he’s now entering a new chapter. ‘A full stop got put on something,’ he says.

THE POWER OF THREE
A triple threat of the MCU’s most powerful women unite in The Marvels. Total Film meets the filmmakers to find out how Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan will contend with a formidable new foe, unexpected power-swaps and flerkens galore.
LOVE MATCH
Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist play tennis and wicked games in Challengers, Luca Guadagnino’s sensual study of fierce friendship, competition and messy love triangles. Total Film sits down with the three champs as they serve up on sex scenes, tennis camp and Ratatouille.
ACT OF CREATION
While teaming up on The Favourite, star Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos forged an electric creative partnership that shows no signs of slowing down. With eccentric feminist Frankenstein fable Poor Things up next, the duo talk to Total Film about their ‘once-in-a-lifetime connection’
MATCHO LIBER
The ultimate underdog tale, Cassandro tells the story of the real-life Mexican wrestler who both dominated the ring and changed attitudes towards homosexuality. Total Film meets director Roger Ross Williams and star Gael García Bernal to pay homage to one of the Spanish-speaking world’s most iconic athletes.
GAME OF PHONE
In the early 2000s, one smartphone dominated the market as high-flying executives craved instant communication. But as new movie BlackBerry shows, the creators flew too close to the sun. Total Film meets director Matt Johnson and his cast to talk gadgets, gangsters and Gordon Gekko.
