'Ebenezer', Rivals and the return of U2: The best things to do, hear, see or watch in Europe this week

Johnny Depp plays Scrooge in a new Dickens adaptation, Irish rockers U2 mark their 50th anniversary, and London's Saatchi Gallery unveils a huge new street art exhibition. Here's what to look out for this week.

As Christmas approaches, festive releases are beginning to appear in Europe. First, Ebenezer, a new adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, will hit cinemas on November 13th. Starring Johnny Depp as the titular character, the film offers a darker, gothic take on the classic story. Meanwhile, U2 is set to release their 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, on the same day.

This marks 50 years since the band's formation and features a collaboration with Dolly Parton, whose final recording "Torn" is included. Additionally, two new landmark exhibitions open: "Bruxelles 1900" at the Petit Palais in Paris, showcasing the city's Art Nouveau and Art Deco history through 250 works, and "Beyond the Streets" at the Saatchi Gallery in London, exploring the evolution of street art from ancient Egypt to present-day Europe.
