No Time to Die Out now Originally due out April 2020, this may be Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007. There is new blood in the form of Rami Malek’s villain, Lashana Lynch as a fellow agent, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge reporting for co-writing duty. Freakscene: The Story of Dinosaur Jr Out now Even if you’re not familiar with US grungers Dinosaur Jr, you’ll know the music they influenced. Showcasing their scuzzily confrontational indie rock, as well as the band’s dysfunctional relationships, this enjoyable homage connects the dots through a deft collage of archive, ancient photos, flyers and interviews with key figures, including Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. Next Door Out now Set in the Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin’s now gentrified urban district, this modest indie meta-drama offers a wink-wink portrait of actorly vanity. Directed by Daniel Brühl (Zemo in Captain America: Civil War), he also stars as a smug actor called Daniel, waylaid before an important audition for a superhero movie. BFI London film festival Wed to 17 Oct Bringing a bumper crop of premieres fresh from Cannes and Venice, a strong lineup includes Palme d’Or winner Titane, The Lost Daughter starring Olivia Colman, Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog, and the superb The Souvenir: Part II. Catherine Bray Going Out: Gigs Bad Boy Chiller Crew Mon to 21 Oct; tour starts Manchester Ahead of a six-part documentary series on ITV2, Bradford’s bassline warriors kick off their biggest tour. Keep an ear out for the ravey Don’t You Worry About Me, a summer Top 40 hit. Becky Hill Touring to 21 Oct Nearly a decade after appearing on The Voice, dance-pop powerhouse Hill recently scored a UK Top 10 with her debut album, Only Honest on the Weekend. Built for lost nights on sticky dancefloors, it should provide plenty of bangers for her UK tour. Michael Cragg Fergus McCreadie Trio Lit & Phil Library, Newcastle upon Tyne, Sun; Bristol Beacon, Wed; Albany Club, Coventry, Thu; The Stables, Milton Keynes, Fri Prize-winning Scottish pianist McCreadie’s Celtic roots and folk scene experiences bring a signature richness to his trio’s dynamic chemistry of old-school jazz, swing, rock, funk and improv outbursts. John Fordham Serenades for Wind St Andrew’s Hall, Norwich, Wed; touring to 10 Oct The Britten Sinfonia return with music for wind, dominated by Mozart’s Serenade in B flat, K361. Before that there’s Mark Simpson’s Geysir, named to evoke the music’s eruptive character. Andrew Clements Going Out: Stage We Are As Gods Battersea Arts Centre, SW11, Wed to 10 Oct A celebration of dance and life created by choreographer James Cousins and performed by 70 dancers in the BAC’s beautiful rooms, rooftops and secret stairways. A night of dance, duets, spoken word and feasting. The Long Song Chichester Festival theatre, to 23 Oct Stage adaptation of Andrea Levy’s novel, which tells the story of three women living in 19th-century Jamaica during the final years of slavery. Miriam Gillinson Romeo & Juliet Royal Opera House, WC2, Tue to 25 Feb; Birmingham Hippodrome, Wed to 30 Oct Two different companies roll out Kenneth MacMillan’s masterful take on Shakespeare: the Royal Ballet features real-life couple Francesca Hayward and Cesar Corrales, while Birmingham Royal Ballet has national dance award winner César Morales partnering Momoko Hirata. Lyndsey Winship Knock2Bag Moth Club, E9, Thu Mixed bill nights can be hit and miss, but Knock2bag resembles an impeccable record label, curating lineups that combine leftfield staples with the most promising fledgling acts. This week’s edition features standup stalwart Suzi Ruffell, ex-Footlights president Ben Pope and Aussie eccentric Ray Badran. Rachel Aroesti Going Out: Art Hervé Télémaque Serpentine South Gallery, W2, Thu to 30 Jan Born in Haiti in 1937 and based in Paris since the 1960s, this painter of surreal disjointed stories mixes comic strip boldness with global politics and an irony all his own. He was one of the first pop artists in France, looking at “everyday mythologies” with a critical eye: a radical Tintin. Anish Kapoor: Painting Modern Art Oxford, to 13 Feb The sculptor takes up the brush to paint gruesome scenes of human sacrifice. Kapoor has taught himself figurative painting to create eerie perspectives and gorily real body parts – but these works are joyously unhinged exercises in splashy, mostly red, fun. Bold new moves by a great artist. Ruined Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh, to 9 Jan Young Scots ponder the national story in a multimedia exhibition that has fun with the “ruins” of the past. Famous and forgotten events are revisited in video projections that promise both violence and swearing. Mark Rothko Pace London, W1, Fri to 13 Nov Rothko painted these works when he was sinking into despair in the 60s, yet they are entrancing. Depressed and angry as he was, he couldn’t help creating poems of colour. He plunges you into the abyss yet fills you with inspiration.
