What’s Streaming

IP MAN 4: THE FINALE (2019) Stream on Netflix.; rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. In this martial arts film Ip Man (Donnie Yen), a real-life Wing Chun master who inspired the series, leaves Hong Kong for San Francisco, where he finds that the popularity of his student, Bruce Lee (Chan Kwok-Kwan Danny), has stirred tensions in the city. Some members of the local Chinese community are opposed to sharing martial arts secrets with non-Chinese students. The movie’s other antagonist is a bigoted Marine (Scott Adkins) who is promoting karate over kung fu. “There is no mystery about who wins the movie’s final bout,” Ben Kenigsberg wrote in his review for The New York Times, “but it is never less than thrilling to watch Yen’s fluttering limbs in action.”

THE PORTUGUESE WOMAN (2018) Stream on Mubi. Rita Azevedo Gomes’s latest narrative film makes its American debut as a streaming offering. The dreamy, enigmatic movie tells the story of a woman (Clara Riedenstein), unnamed and from Portugal as you might expect from the title, set somewhere in Europe, sometime in the 17th or 18th century. When her nobleman husband (Marcello Urgeghe) is called away to fight in a conflict in northern Italy, she elects to wait for him at his family home, a remote cliff top castle. During his long absence, she gives birth to their son, adopts a wolf and stoically rejects entreaties by friends and relations to return to her native land.

DONALD TRUMP’S CONSPIRACY THEORIES 9 p.m. on CNN, CNN International and CNNgo. During times of crisis and confusion, when the authority of powerful institutions is called into question, it is not uncommon for conspiracy theories to flourish. Today, such views are not only embraced by the dispossessed and disillusioned; they’re also wielded by the powerful. This new special, hosted by Fareed Zakaria, explores the conspiracy theories that President Trump has touted over his career and situates them in a larger historical context.

INTERVENTION 10 p.m. on A&E. This series, which begins its 21st season tonight, has divided critics and the public from the start. Some contend that it exploits the suffering of the addicts it features. Others feel that it accurately represents the toll addiction takes on individuals and their communities and cultivates hope that treatment can be effective. But it’s the drama of the titular confrontation, and the circumstances that precede it, that often draws viewers in the first place.
