Caught Stealing<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
Darren Aronofsky (The Whale, Black Swan) is back, with an adaptation of the first of Charlie Huston\u2019s novels about former baseball player Hank Thompson, played here by Austin Butler, who is unwittingly drawn into the criminal underworld of 1990s New York when a cat-sitting job goes awry.<\/p>\n

The Roses<\/strong>
Out now
<\/em>Having a bash at rerunning a classic, this new take on the Wars of the Roses draws on both the 1981 novel and the 1989 Kathleen Turner v Michael Douglas big-screen adaptation. Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch star as the wealthy couple whose divorce turns increasingly ugly, with darkly comic consequences.<\/p>\n

Young Mothers<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
Belgian brothers the Dardennes are noted for their humane, realist approach to telling ordinary people\u2019s stories. Their latest focuses on young mothers Jessica, Perla, Julie, Na\u00efma and Ariane and their children, and won the screenplay prize at Cannes this year.<\/p>\n

Dogtooth: 4k Restoration<\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
Back in 2009, Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos became internationally recognised with this shocking Oscar-nominated third feature. Since then he\u2019s been continuously serving, with the likes of The Favourite and Poor Things, but this stunning black comedy of familial dysfunction, in which a couple keep their children intentionally ignorant of the outside world, is one of his very best.

Tom Grennan<\/strong>
3 to 19 September; tour starts Bournemouth<\/em>
The perpetually topless Bradford-born singer-songwriter visits various arenas in support of recent fourth album, Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn\u2019t Want to Be. Continuing his penchant for big shouty pop songs full of big scary emotions, expect the show to act as a form of sweat-soaked catharsis. Michael Cragg<\/em><\/p>\n

Manchester Psych Fest<\/strong>
Various venues, Manchester, 30 August<\/em>
Music\u2019s glorious oddballs head to Manchester for this annual event. Headliners this year include Swedish experimentalists Goat and British post-rock firebrand Nadine Shah, while the lineup is fleshed out by Christopher Owens, WH Lung and Jadu Heart. MC<\/em><\/p>\n

John Etheridge<\/strong>
Pizza Express Jazz Club, London, 1 to 3 September<\/em>
Eclectic and exciting British guitarist John Etheridge has worked with luminaries including swing-violin legend St\u00e9phane Grappelli and classical guitarist John Williams \u2013 and with art-rock fusion pioneers Soft Machine, whose legacy he celebrates (Mon & Tue). Etheridge\u2019s Zappatistas group also pay affectionate tribute to the great Frank Zappa (Wed). John Fordham<\/em><\/p>\n

L\u2019Heure Espagnole & The Bear<\/strong>
St Mary\u2019s Church, Haddington, East Lothian, <\/em>4 September<\/em>
Lammermuir festival-goers get the first opportunity to see Scottish Opera\u2019s double bill of comic one-acters by Ravel and Walton, before they reach Glasgow and Edinburgh later in the autumn. The contrasting tales of adultery and deception are staged by Jacopo Spirei and conducted by Alexandra Cravero. Andrew Clements<\/em><\/p>\n

Mona Hatoum and Alberto Giacometti<\/strong>
Barbican Level 2, London, <\/em>3 September<\/em> to 11 January<\/em>
Swiss sculptor Giacometti created surrealist objects that open up eerie spaces and voids in buildings and bodies. Palestinian artist Hatoum turned an endoscopy camera on herself in a startling inner self-portrait, among other unflinching works. They should make a good pair in this series comparing today\u2019s artists with Giacometti\u2019s masterpieces.<\/p>\n

Nadav Kander<\/strong>
Flowers Gallery, London, <\/em>5 September<\/em> to 11 October<\/em>
Poetic photographs that explore the edge of the invisible. Kander\u2019s recent pictures dwell on the dark side of the Thames estuary and other landscapes in deep blues and blacks, greys and bronzes. Sky and water seem to become one in this uncanny shadow world.<\/p>\n

Victoria Crowe<\/strong>
Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh, to 11 October<\/em>
Scottish artist Crowe, 80 this year, has spent decades portraying rural life and the moods of landscape. Her portraits of shepherd, and Crowe\u2019s neighbour, Jenny Armstrong record a way of being that doesn\u2019t seem contemporary at all, yet they were made in the 70s and 80s. These and other works heal your spirit.<\/p>\n

Vivienne Westwood<\/strong>
Walker Art<\/a> Gallery, Liverpool, to 17 October 2026<\/em>
From helping to invent the punk aesthetic with Malcolm McLaren, to drawing on the 18th-century rococo style, Westwood brilliantly blurred the line between fashion and art. This survey demonstrates that, showing relics of her first punk designs and her 1980s Witches Collection, decorated by the great graffiti artist Keith Haring. Jonathan Jones<\/em><\/p>\n

Deaf Republic<\/strong>
Royal Court theatre, London, to 13 September<\/em>
A deaf boy is killed in occupied territory for disobeying orders he could not hear. The next day, the whole town wakes up deaf. Dead Centre and Zoe McWhinney\u2019s production features deaf and hearing performers, puppetry, live cinema and poetry. Miriam Gillinson<\/em><\/p>\n

Fat Ham<\/strong>
Swan theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, to 13 September<\/em>
Winner of the Pulitzer prize for drama, James Ijames\u2019s comic tragedy is loosely inspired by Hamlet. The play is set during a family barbecue in North Carolina, where a Black queer man is visited by the ghost of his father. MG<\/em><\/p>\n

Elis and John: That Feels Significant<\/strong>
3 September to 18 October; tour starts Norwich<\/em>
Shame wells. Cymru connecting. The Kia Sportage. If these words mean little to you, the live tour of Elis James and John Robins\u2019s podcast may not seem such a hot ticket. But if you are invested in their decade-honed dynamic, a good time is guaranteed. Rachel Aroesti<\/em><\/p>\n

We Should Never Have Walked on the Moon
<\/strong>Southbank Centre, London, 3 to 6 September
<\/em>French dance collective (La)Horde joins forces with Rambert in a takeover of the Southbank, putting a cast of 50 dancers and DJs all over the site for audiences to explore.
