If you’ve ever wondered how Hollywood actors would fare in a real apocalyptic scenario (nope, me neither), then This is the End (16s) may well be your perfect movie.

Robert Gueiguion’s captivating The Last Mitterrand (Fox, €21.99) takes the form of a verbal duel as a young writer Antoine (Jalil Lespert) interviews President Francois Mitterrand (the excellent Michel Bouquet), slowly stripping away the latter’s cool exterior to reveal a remarkably intelligent mind at work, anxious to protect his political legacy.
