Cats: The Musical at Place des Arts.

For something completely different, seeing a harrowing period film about abortion on International Women’s Day may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re like our Film Editor Justine Smith, Audrey Diwan’s L’Événement (screening at Cinéma Moderne with English subtitles) might be the perfect choice.
