Erupcja, The Fall of Sir Douglas Weatherford and When the City is a Character in Films

Charlie xcx is a great pop star, but is she any good as an actor? We find out by watching her as the lead in Erupcja, the new low-key relationship drama from director Pete Ohs. In honour of Erupcja, which makes great, lyrical use of its setting of Warsaw, Poland, we consider some of the other films in which the cities they are set in feel like characters in their own right.  We also take a look at The Fall of Sir Douglas Weatherford, a dark comedy starring Peter Mullan as a tour guide who begins to lose the line between history and fantasy when a TV production comes to town.
