Science fiction is a broad church. From the dizzying derring-do of space opera to the cerebral ruminations of Isaac Asimov and his cohort, to the cynical post-modern worlds of cyberpunk and the 70s New Wave, all the way back to the scientific romances of the 19
th century – it’s a big, sprawling genre.
SBS World Movies knows this, that’s why we’re getting Sci-Fi Week from Monday, August 31, a cavalcade of mind-bending masterpieces including
Under the Skin,
Transcendence,
Marjorie Prime and more. But science fiction is too vast a genre to be contained to one week – SBS has a wealth of speculative drama on offer.

French lesbian drama Two of Us is quietly lovely: Review Leah Greenblatt
From the title alone, Two of Us or
Deux, as it s called in its native France seems to swell with romance. And it very much is one, though it would be a lot simpler for Madeleine (Martine Chevallier) and Nina (Barbara Sukowa) if
à deux was all they had. Together for decades, the pair are finally ready to move to Rome and live out their golden years together except Madeleine is also a widow with two grown children, terrified to tell them her truth. So to everyone they know they re merely friendly neighbors instead; two elderly women who share a common hallway.
