10.00am – The French Job (M – coarse language), 1hr 34 mins, Drama) – Jonathan, an expert in luxury watches, leads a grey and monotonous life until he meets Eric, a charming conman and dealer in stolen goods. Fascinated by his lifestyle, Jonathan is drawn deeper and deeper into the world of criminal transactions. The situation spirals out of control when the virtuoso thief Joe joins them. In 2010, the trio committed one of the most daring robberies in history – they stole five masterpieces by Picasso, Matisse and Modigliani from the Museum of Modern Art in Paris.
6.30pm – The Richest Woman in the World (M – mature themes, coarse language, nudity and sexual references), 2hrs 1 min, Comedy) – An elderly billionaire woman gives hundreds of millions of euros to a younger gay artist she is close to. Her daughter files a complaint for abuse of a vulnerable person and a scandal erupts. Loosely based on Liliane Bettencourt, the late L’Oreal heiress and her daughter.
