It’s a quiet week at South African cinemas this week, with just one new film making its debut in wide release. Other than that, you can check out the Russian Film Festival at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town; experience beloved movie musical Grease once more on the big screen; or check out the first of two BTS World Tour live screenings this Saturday, captured at the Kpop icons’ Goyang concert.
Valentine’s Day is long in the past, but if you need some escapist romance in your life, that’s where romcom You, Me & Tuscany comes in. Aimless Anna (The Little Mermaid’s Halle Bailey) impulsively jets off to Italy after meeting Matteo (Lorenzo de Moor), a handsome Italian who has a villa sitting empty in Tuscany. When she’s caught in the house without permission, Anna dodges responsibility by pretending to be Matteo’s fiancé… which is fine until she meets Matteo’s handsome cousin Michael (Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page) as part of the wedding preparations.
