Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi.

Reece Shearsmith is set to appear in the part-animated horror Borley Rectory.
The film, which also features live action and fantasy sequences, focuses on the hauntings of an Essex rectory.
Shooting has begun on the half-hour film, but Carrion Films is campaigning to raise £3,000 on crowdfunding website Indiegogo to complete the project.
Shearsmith - best known for his work on The League of Gentlemen - will play journalist Vernon Wall, who investigates the supposed apparitions of evil spirits.
"The project oozes as much quality as it does evil," the actor said. "Borley Rectory is one of the great ghost stories. I needed to be part of it."
Jonathan Rigby, Steve Furst, Nicholas Vince and Richard Strange are also attached to the project.
