2015 has already got off to a good start, with Foxcatcher and Whiplash coming later this month (although I’m afraid I really didn’t like either Birdman or American Sniper). But beyond those, there is a strong brace of films due to come in the next 12 months. Admittedly, I’ve only included films that currently have a trailer – which means, alas, I’ve not covered James Cooper’s documentary about The Who’s early managers,Lambert And Stamp, Jonathan Demme’s Ricki And The Flash, which stars Meryl Streep as an ageing rock star, or the Kurt Cobain documentary, Montage Of Heck. I’ve also steered clear of the very obvious films (with one critical exception…) so the focus is on what I hope will prove to be the main highlights of 2015: some strong UK and American indies, a terrific Iranian vampire drama and a weighty selection of promising rock documentaries.
