After an uproarious showing last year, Le Salon de l’Agriculture returns to the Porte de Versailles for its 2016 edition, from February 27-March 6. This vast annual agricultural trade show is a meeting place for professionals and enthusiasts, as well as a welcoming forum for members of the public of any age; from petting cattle to wine tasting, there’s something for everyone, as long as you have a passion for top quality French produce.

After the playful, urban and contemporary humour of the Oscar-winning ‘Birdman’, this bleak-faced 1820s-set frontier western sees Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu return to the darker worldview of his earlier films like ‘Babel’ and ‘21 Grams’. Based on a 2002 Michael Punke novel about real-life folk hero Hugh Glass, ‘The Revenant’ stars Leonardo DiCaprio (gruff, committed, unreadable) as a fur trapper and frontiersman left for dead by his colleagues in a wintry American landscape after he is viciously shredded by a grizzly bear.
