Italian films rarely make it into this column but one to check out is ‘Remember Me’ (Bluebell; €24.99), a wonderfully written and directed work by Gabriele Muccino which centres on the less than perfect marriage of Carlo (Fabrizio Bentivogli) and Giulia (Laura Morante), whose children are going through their own personal crises.

Hollywood actor Clive Owen boasts a list of beautiful movie co-stars but insists he has never been tempted to cheat on his long-term partner.

Few films have the power to shock as much as Irréversible Collector’s Edition (Tartan, €24.99), Gasper Noe’s tale about a night out which goes horribly wrong.

Italian actress Monica Belluci is heading for the A-list.
