One Room With A View

An outwardly odd if quietly clever existential drama that trades in satire and biting black humour.

Rated: 3/5

James Marsh

South China Morning Post

While never allowing events to spiral into full-blown farce, the French comedy News from Planet Mars constantly tests the limits of its somewhat absurd reality, to mostly winning effect.

Rated: 3/5
