Parthenope to Poker Face: a complete guide to this week's entertainment

ParthenopeOut now Selected for Cannes last year, the latest from Paolo Sorrentino, director of The Great Beauty and Youth stars Gary Oldman. And per Sorrentino's Fellini-esque motifs of feminine elegance and the visual splendour of Italy, he casts Celeste Dalla Porta in a decade-spanning coming-of-age story about a young woman born in the sea near Naples in 1950. ThunderboltsOut now Florence Pugh plays trained spy Yelena Belova, adoptive sister of Natasha Romanoff, AKA Black Widow, from which you may gather that we are again engaging with the intricacies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yelena and her allies are up against Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a villain called Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. You'll believe a bolt can thunder. Scotland's Folk Film GatheringTo 11 May, Edinburgh Edinburgh's Folk Film Gathering returns to the Cameo and Scottish Storytelling Centre, with new and archive cinema, live music and stories. This year includes performances from Irish fiddler Benedict Morris, Welsh harpist Gwen Màiri Yorke and Edinburgh's Ukrainian choir. Queer East FestivalTo 18 May, various London venues The annual festival of cinema and performing arts is back with more than 100 titles showcasing queer culture across east and south-east Asia, including (as the closing gala) the UK premiere of the documentary Edhi Alice, an exploration of the trans experience in South Korea, from queer activist Ilrhan Kim. Catherine Bray Twenty One Pilots5 to 14 May; tiur starts Glasgow Released last year, US alt-rock duo Twenty One Pilots' seventh album, Clancy, marked the final part of a nearly decade-long conceptual series. While the more intricate details of it all mightmay get lost on this cavernous arena tour, it's is likely to be a fiery, cathartic spectacle. Michael Cragg The Excursions of Mr BroučekBarbican Hall, London, 4 and 6 May Simon Rattle may no longer be the LSO's music director, but his cycle of Janáček's operas continues. Composed in 1920, the rarely performed Excursions of Mr Brouček is a satire of capitalist greed as personified by the beer-swilling Brouček, who journeys to the moon and back to the 15th century. Andrew Clements Patrick Wolf8 to 16 May; tour starts Manchester Ahead of next month's seventh album, Crying the Neck, his first since 2012, the idiosyncratic Wolf heads out on tour. Having dabbled in pulverising electro experiments, string-drenched ballads and synthpop symphonies, Wolf is a jack of all trades who can weave the threads together live. MC Jason MoranMilton Court Concert Hall, London, 9 May The Texan virtuoso pianist/composer Jason Moran has been taking listeners on startling journeys across jazz-rooted contemporary musics since the 1990s, often in illuminating mixed-media performances. On this solo-piano show, Moran celebrates the enthralling paintings of African-American artist Noah Davis. John Fordham Huma Bhabha and GiacomettiBarbican Centre: Level 2, London, 8 May to 10 August The slender, elongated bronze statues of Alberto Giacometti depict people who seem to defy a general catastrophe. They keep going when all they have left is themselves. Karachi-born Bhabha draws on global mythology and art history. She kicks off a year-long programme of 'encounters' between contemporary sculptors and Giacometti's masterpieces. Robert Thomas James MillsCCA, Glasgow, 3 to 24 May Modestly enough, this exhibition claims to offer a chance to think about time, space, the cosmos and your innermost being. On the other hand isn't that what all art is ultimately for? Glasgow artist Mills uses drawings and sound to personify time itself as his lover, in a temporal breakup. Lisa MilroyKate MacGarry Gallery, London, to 31 May This painter known for still lifes of shoes and other everyday objects takes to the skies in her latest works. Her expansive new paintings of the open sky transport you away from material things. Pink tinged clouds hang in spaces of ultramarine blue. Memories of a Vancouver childhood glow bright. That Marvellous AtmosphereStanley Spencer Gallery, Cookham, to 2 November Like a ruined medieval fresco, Stanley Spencer's unfinished painting Christ Preaching at Cookham Regatta transports you to a world of rollicking, Chaucerian fun. This painting, which he worked on for his last decade, teems with roly-poly people and a sacralisation of joy, in a lovely day out on the water. Jonathan Jones Ed NightThe Lowry, Salford, 7 May; touring to 31 May The Plunge may sound like a checklist of zillennial tropes: OCD, body dysmorphia, emotional support animals. But don't expect worthiness from Night. He uses irreverence and a vaguely menacing delivery to give the classic comic misanthrope a modern twist. Rachel Aroesti Gary Clarke Company: DetentionNottingham Playhouse, 8 & 9 May, touring to 15 October Choreographer Clarke has ploughed a fruitful furrow of dance-theatre-documentary, exploring social issues close to home, from the miners' strike to the beginnings of rave culture. His latest work looks at the impact of Clause 28 as a young gay man growing up in a Yorkshire pit village. Lyndsey Winship The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's WivesArcola theatre, London, to 31 May Three wives. Seven children. A very big secret. Lola Shoneyin's story of Baba Segi stole hearts as a novel, with its upending of expectations and raucous reveal. Now Rotimi Babatunde's vivid stage adaptation returns, featuring live Yoruba music and dance. Kate Wyver TakeawayLiverpool Everyman theatre, to 17 May The Hyltons Caribbean takeaway was built with love and a mouth-watering menu. But with the rise of food delivery apps, the future of the family-owned restaurant is uncertain. Amanda Huxtable directs Nathan Powell's joyful story has big laughs and full bellies.

Season two brings reams of great guests, including Cynthia Erivo and John Mulaney. The Handmaid's TaleChannel 4, 3 May, 9pm It's been eight years since June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) began fighting the patriarchal regime that kept her enslaved as a baby-making machine; in the intervening period, this adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel has only become more timely. This sixth and final season sees the handmaids unite in rebellion. Marie AntoinetteiPlayer & BBC Two, 8 May, 9pm In recent years, Lady Jane Grey, Emily Dickinson and Catherine the Great have all been reborn as bolshy yet vulnerable teen girls in a series of irreverent and largely anachronistic comedy dramas. This returning Anglo-French series is cut from the same cloth, as it traces the fortunes of France's last queen within a chaotic and oppressive Versailles. Families Like Ours iPlayer & BBC F0ur, 3 May, 9pm This ambitious Danish drama from Thomas Vinterberg – best known for co-founding the avant-garde Dogme 95 movement with Lars von Trier – imagines the entirety of Denmark being evacuated due to rising sea levels. Per its creator, this is no 'climate-warning' series, but a meditation on the human ability to cope in a crisis. RA Sonic RumblePC, smartphones; out 8 May The latest attempt to reinvent Sega's beloved mascot is an online party game where up to 32 players compete in mini-games until only one survivor remains. Yes, it sounds a lot like Fall Guys, but it's stuffed with classic Sega characters, and developer Rovio knows what it's doing. Among Us 3DPC; out 6 May The original Among Us was one of the surprise hits of the lockdown era – a multiplayer sci-fi strategy game in which two members of a spaceship crew are baddies out to kill other players and sabotage their tasks. The new 3D version provides a first-person perspective, pulling you much closer into the tense, nefarious action. Keith Stuart Jenny Hval – Iris Silver MistOut now Norwegian art-pop practitioner Hval's ninth album is a typically acquired taste. On the fidgety To Be a Rose, the song's structure continually shape-shifts, upending its pop leanings, while the 82-second long electronic curio The Artist is Absent gradually disintegrates. Model/Actriz – PirouetteOut now The Boston noise-rock quartet kicked off this second album era with one of the year's best songs. Cinderella – which tells the tale of frontman Cole Haden's dreams of having a princess-themed fifth birthday party – is a pulsating, live-wire modern rock tornado that would have also dominated an indie sleaze-era dancefloor. Blondshell – If You Asked for a PictureOut now After growing disillusioned with her early pop direction, in 2022 LA's Sabrina Teitelbaum became Blondshell, unveiling a new grunge-adjacent sound. On this second album, produced by Yves Rothman (Kim Gordon), Teitelbaum harnesses that melodic nous on songs such as the lilting 23's a Baby. Yung Lean – JonatanOut now Sweden's SoundCloud-rap originator continues his creative evolution – the 28-year-old also releases music as Jonatan Leandoer96 and Död Mark – on this follow-up to last year's Psykos. While Forever Yung bounces with a hip-hop elasticity, the indie-leaning Babyface Maniacs is a much more downcast affair. MC OlogiesPodcast Writer Alie Ward's longrunning series delves into niche scientific obsessions, inviting a cast of experts to discuss everything from reality TV sociology to domestic phytology – the art of keeping your houseplants alive. An Artist's Manual Against ApartheidOnline Poet Farah Chamma, producer LIEV and arts organisation Shubbak have put together this extensive, open-ended repository of resources for those looking to learn more about the history of Palestine and ways to enact positive change today. The Autism CurveBBC Radio 4 & BBC Sounds, 5 to 9 May With diagnoses for autism rising exponentially, this five-part series provides a fascinating insight into the numbers, examining how widening definitions and greater advocacy have shifted attitudes towards neurodiversity.
