The Running Man
<\/strong>Out now
<\/em>Edgar Wright directs this reimagining of the 1987 sci-fi cult classic based on Stephen King\u2019s 1982 novel, which envisioned a fictional America of 2025 sliding into totalitarianism. Glen Powell stars as the contestant attempting to survive a deadly televised game.<\/p>\n

Now You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t
<\/strong>Out now
<\/em>This third film in the magic-heist franchise reunites Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher as the Four Horsemen. Directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland), the new instalment sees the gang target a massive diamond. Expect more sleight-of-hand shenanigans.<\/p>\n

Exhibition on Screen: Caravaggio
<\/strong>Out now
<\/em>This new instalment of the Exhibition on Screen series explores the short but eventful life and timeless art of Caravaggio. Co-directed by David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky, it blends commentary, on-location footage, dramatic recreations and HD access to key works.<\/p>\n

Alpha
<\/strong>Out now
<\/em>French director Julia Ducournau got off the starting blocks in 2016 with the shocking cannibal horror Raw, followed by the Palme d\u2019Or-winning and bonkers (in a good way) Titane. Her latest is a slight change of pace, a tale of a 13-year-old whose new tattoo could see her contract a deadly disease that turns sufferers to marble. Catherine Bray<\/em><\/p>\n

Model\/Actriz
<\/strong>Bristol Beacon, 17 November; touring<\/em> to 26 November
<\/em>Ignited by frontman Cole Haden\u2019s magnetic charisma and propensity for flinging himself into the crowd, Boston noise merchants Model\/Actriz have become one of rock\u2019s most interesting live acts. They arrive in the UK on the back of May\u2019s Pirouette album, which features the throbbing dance-punk behemoth Cinderella. Michael Cragg<\/em><\/p>\n

Smerz
<\/strong>Stereo, Glasgow, 16 November; touring to 20 November
<\/em>On Catharina Stoltenberg and Henriette Motzfeldt\u2019s album Big City Life, a night out is laid bare via smudged alt-pop, trip-hop and skewed dance music. Songs about a night out on a night out: sounds perfect, no? MC<\/em><\/p>\n

London jazz festival
<\/strong>Various venues, 15 to 23 November
<\/em>This spectacular festival returns with more than a week of performances reflecting jazz\u2019s ever-changing landscape. Stars include German piano virtuoso Michael Wollny and saxophonist Emma Rawicz (16 November), Ethio-jazz legend Mulatu Astatke (16 & 17 November) American drummer-composer Makaya McCraven (19 November), and dozens more. John Fordham<\/em><\/p>\n

Osmo V\u00e4nsk\u00e4\/CBSO
<\/strong>Symphony Hall, Birmingham,<\/em> 19 November<\/em>; Bristol Beacon, <\/em>20 November<\/em>
<\/em>Once a familiar figure in British concert halls, Osmo V\u00e4nsk\u00e4 conducts here only rarely nowadays. Here, Shostakovich\u2019s final symphony, the 15th, takes up the second half of the programme, while before it V\u00e4nsk\u00e4 conducts a sequence of shorter works by Sibelius, including the tone poem The Bard and the gorgeous, soaring Luonnotar.

David Hockney<\/strong>
Annely Juda, London, to 28 February<\/em>
There\u2019s no let-up for Britain\u2019s most beloved contemporary artist. In the spring, Hockney opened an extraordinary retrospective in Paris that proved his art since 2000 fizzes as much as his 60s classics. Here he unveils the paintings he\u2019s done since. He never stops seeing life\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n

Saodat Ismailova
<\/strong>Baltic, Gateshead, to 17 June
<\/em>The period of perestroika under the USSR\u2019s last leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, was a surreal time in the eyes of Uzbek film artist Ismailova. She revisits that strange historical moment in her film Swan Lake which remembers how Tchaikovsky\u2019s ballet was played on TV for 24 hours as the USSR collapsed.<\/p>\n

Roger Fry
<\/strong>Charleston, East Sussex, <\/em>15 November<\/em> to 15 March
<\/em>Twentieth-century painter Fry was the art critical voice of the Bloomsbury Group, an early champion of C\u00e9zanne, Van Gogh and other modernists. He also spearheaded the idealistic Omega Workshops. How does his own art hold up today?<\/p>\n

Taylor-Wessing Photo Portrait Prize
<\/strong>National Portrait Gallery, London, to 8 February
<\/em>Everyone takes, and poses for, \u201cphoto portraits\u201d but what lifts that phone snap or selfie into a work of art? There are many chances to meditate on the aesthetics of photography here as enthusiasts and pros compete to give their images of friends, family or strangers that extra special something.

Little Mermaid
<\/strong>New Vic theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme, to 24 January

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
<\/strong>Soho Place theatre, London, <\/em>17 November<\/em> to 21 February
<\/em>The very first stage adaptation of John le Carr\u00e9\u2019s captivating novel about a disillusioned British intelligence officer on one last mission.

Matthew Bourne\u2019s The\u00a0Red Shoes
<\/strong>Plymouth Theatre<\/a> Royal, <\/em>17<\/em> to 22 November; touring to 9 May
<\/em>A 10th-anniversary tour for Matthew Bourne\u2019s wonderfully atmospheric recreation of Powell and Pressburger\u2019s film The Red Shoes, with Lez Brotherston\u2019s detailed designs. Ashley Shaw returns in the Moira Shearer role of aspiring ballerina Victoria Page (along with a number of alternate casts), embroiled in a story of passion and obsession. Lyndsey Winship<\/em><\/p>\n

Will Adamsdale
<\/strong>Front Room theatre,<\/em> Weston-super-Mare, <\/em>20 November<\/em>; touring to 30\u00a0November
<\/em>AI has finally started to creep into comedy \u2013 albeit mostly in hearteningly creative ways (see: the recent outputs of Luke McQueen and Adam Buxton). Now,\u00a0Perrier winner Adamsdale gets in on the act with a show about writing a sitcom script in collaboration with ChatGPT. Rachel Aroesti<\/em><\/p>\n
