Oligarch son Vanja (Mark Eidelstein) becomes so crazy in love with stripper Ani (Mikey Madison) that he pays her to marry him in Las Vegas. When his rich Russian parents find out, they send some thugs to physically stop the relationship. Sean Baker's acclaimed film won the Palme d'Or in Cannes and combines sex, action, and slapstick comedy all at once.

Frederick Forsyth's thriller about a mysterious assassin who is to kill Charles de Gaulle was made into a film in the 1970s. Now, Eddie Redmayne plays the assassin in a new TV series. The intended murder victim this time is an eccentric tech entrepreneur whose invention can turn the world's financial markets upside down. Another big difference compared to the film is that the assassin leads a family life in Spain when he's not on a mission.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's sweeping epic from 1967 has become a lavish Spanish-language miniseries. The series is filmed in the author's home country of Colombia and depicts the life of Aureliano Buendia and the others in the village of Macondo over 100 years.
