ENGLISH: Even 12 years ago, when Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger won the Man Booker Prize in 2008, it was thought that this novel about caste, corruption and loyalty will never get old. Directed by Ramin Bahrani, the film adaptation of the book only furthers that assumption. Starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Rajkummar Rao and Adarsh Gourav, THE WHITE TIGER arrives on Netflix on 22 January.
What if Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, footballer Jim Brown and musician Sam Cooke had all once met? Streaming on Amazon Prime Video from 15 January, ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI imagines just such an epic encounter. Directed by Regina King, the film won rave reviews after it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September. “A hauntingly powerful reflection,” said one critic.
