Bugonia
Out now
Yorgos Lanthimos, one of the fiercest directors of the 21st century, returns with something you might not expect from him: a remake. But this is not a Hollywood record amount. It’s a dark comedy that sees Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons go to some really crazy places in the story of two conspiracy theorists who kidnap a CEO.

Riz Ahmed plays the man you call when a dodgy company and an individual with the power to expose their corrupt practices need to talk.

David Mackenzie’s new thriller (Hell Or High Water).

Palestine 36

This historical drama from director Anne-Marie Jacir, a Palestinian nominee for Best International Film at the Academy Awards, explores the events leading up to the 1936 Arab Revolt, when Palestinians attempted to gain independence from British colonial rule.

These new Puritans
6 to November 12; The tour begins in Liverpool
Brothers Jack and George Barnett are taking their fifth album, Crooked Wing, on tour. As with all their recordings, it ignores the rules of genre, fusing chamber music, jazz and classical with moments of post-rock majesty. Michael Cragg

Raven Lena
Albert Hall, Manchester, November 2; Roundhouse, London, November 3
A Top 5 hit in its native US and UK, “Love Me Not” epitomizes Lenae’s unique style of soft-focus pop-R&B, all cascading melodies and lyrics probing love turf wars, wrapped in a supple soprano. Catch it before it hits the stratosphere. MC

Makropoulos case
Royal Opera House, London, 4 Until November 21
It has taken 99 years for one of the greatest operas of the 20th century to reach Covent Garden. Katie Mitchell’s production places Janáček’s Makropulos case between the world of LGBTQ+ relationships and dating apps. Jacob Hrscha leads the cast, led by soprano Osrin Stundet. Andrew Clements

The story of South Asian art
Royal Academy of Arts, London, until 24 February
Mrinalini Mukherjee, who died in 2015, had a huge influence on modern art in post-World War II India, as this exhibition aims to show. Her multimedia works are at the heart of this survey, which also stars her friends and family, which began in the 1930s before independence and continues today.

Joseph Wright Derby
National Gallery, London, November 7 Until May 10
This great British illustrator takes a closer look as an experiment on a bird in NG’s air pump is combined with his other scientific masterpiece The Orrery. These stunning scenes take you into the heart of the Enlightenment of the 18th century, when people were intoxicated by knowledge and learning.

Shelter of stories
Compton Vernie, Warwickshire, until 22 February
The stories take us on adventures and journeys but they always begin and end at home, just as Bilbo Baggins returned to the Shire. Anyway, that’s the thesis of this show co-curated by historian and cultural critic Marina Warner. The argument has been illustrated by artists including Paola Rego and Ana María Pacheco.

Jane Bowen
Newlands House, Petworth, November 1 Until February 15
This amazing photographer, who captured many of her classic shots for The Observer, is getting a well-deserved exposure. Bown’s rock portrait by Samuel Beckett is considered one of her most memorable images. She also took black and white photographs of a young David Hockney, a laughing Mick Jagger, and many others.

Helen Power
Canal House, Nottingham, November 6; The tour continues until November 24th
Fusing the exuberant clown with messy millennial woman tropes (anxiety, eating disorders, mummy issues), the 34-year-old’s confessional comedy’s twist is irresistibly raucous. Rachel Aroesti

Consti
Southbank Centre, London, 5 Until November 8
A series of performances by extreme artists on the edge of the world of dance, live art and cabaret. Includes Bullyache and their unsettling clash of dance/pop/queer culture, and Adam Russell Jones, inspired by Depression-era dance marathons. Lindsey Winship
