Acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino helms this comedy drama about a one-time rockstar who sets out on an unlikely odyssey to track down the Nazi camp guard who tormented his father in Auschwitz. Sean Penn stars as Cheyenne, the leather-clad and lipsticked ageing rocker with an uncanny knack for pertinent aphorisms despite his general air of childish petulance, who now spends his days drifting aimlessly through a millionaire's lifestyle in Dublin with his long-suffering, down-to-earth wife, Jane (Frances McDormand), and a cloud of oddball hangers-on. When news comes of his estranged father's death, Cheyenne heads to New York for the funeral, and so begins his somewhat misguided quest for justice and redemption.

Middle Eastern-set road movie from director Amos Gitai. Attempting to leave behind the memories of a failed relationship, Rebecca (Natalie Portman), an American Jew, joins Hanna (Hanna Laszlo), a middle aged Israeli, in her search for her injured husband's business partner, 'The American' (Makhram Koury), who owes Hanna's husband a large sum of money. The search takes the women on an onerous journey from Jerusalem to the titular Free Zone of Jordan. At their destination they meet Leila (Hiam Abbass), a Palestinian woman who claims to know the whereabouts of the elusive debtor.
