The richness of the colour onscreen separates the world Almodovar presents from reality, isolating the characters in their own dimension, and its use is very reminiscent of films of the French New Wave, particularly Jacques Demi’s Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and Jean-Luc Godard’s A Woman Is A Woman (1961).

This new release seems more concerned with the story of the two lovers, rather than the punch-dunk feeling of being in love. Without a doubt, Mood Indigo is one of Gondry’s best offerings to date, especially if you can get your hands on its original draft.

R.I.P.D desperately strains to get laughs where it can and they only really come from Roy and Nick’s avatars, a Victoria’s Secret model and a short, elderly Chinese man respectively. But even then, the joke is milked way too much and by the end the audience is so unbelievably sick of it.

Reprising his role in Riddick, the third instalment of the franchise, is Vin Diesel, who looks like he hasn’t aged since the first film came out over a decade ago. Like the previous film, The Chronicles of Riddick, Riddick was written and directed David Twohy, and it continues where it left off.

White House Down lacks the unexpected moments of graphic violence and humourous quips found in the Die Hard-inspired Olympus Has Fallen, and is a fairly forgettable addition to both Emmerich’s filmography and the action genre more broadly.
