Giles Terera, Chi-chi Nwanoku, The 2021 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Reviewing Another Round

Actor Giles Terera tells us about his new book Hamilton and Me: an Actor's Journal, his inside account of preparing for, rehearsing and performing in the West End production of the smash hit musical, Hamilton, in which Terera played Hamilton's rival and, ultimately, killer Aaron Burr. George Bridgetower was a mixed-race violin virtuoso, patronised by royalty, a pupil of Haydn and friend of Beethoven - who was so inspired by Bridgetower that he wrote one of his greatest pieces for him - the Sonata Op.47, which is now known as the Kreutzer Sonata. In a new documentary, Chi-chi Nwanoku, finds out more about Bridgetower's life, and campaigns to rename Beethoven's work to the Bridgetower Sonata. In June Shona McCarthy, the Chief Executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, spoke to Kirsty Lang on Front Row about the prospects for the Fringe in this pandemic year. Tickets went on sale yesterday and Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman newspaper's theatre critic and political columnist, is Kirsty's guest to explain what is on offer, what help the Fringe has had from the Scottish Government and the adjustments it has made so it remains a vital cultural celebration in these difficult times. Film critics Tim Robey and Amon Warmann join us to review the Danish film Another Round, the winner of this year's Best Foreign Language Oscar. Directed by Thomas Vinterberg and starring Mads Mikkelsen it's about four teachers who decide to test a theory that maintaining a constant blood alcohol level will improve their lives. In the beginning it makes them more gregarious and seems to enhance their personal and professional lives but their subsequent decision to go beyond moderate inebriation makes everything far more complicated.

On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are, um, kidnapping kids and stealing so much stuff from our local grocers? That sounds pretty bad. We're talking all about it in this week's episode about Hirokazu Koreeda's film from 2018, Shoplifters. Yeah, there's a kidnapping that happens here. Would it help at all if I told you that the titular family at the heart of this story took in a young girl because she was being neglected and abused at her home? And also that she's with a family that clearly loves her a whole lot? I hope it will help because that's all I've got. Look, this is a film full of gray areas. Hell, the entire film is a gray area. This family isn't exactly what it appears to be. There's a lot of stuff going on under the surface. All of it is surprising. Some of it is a little troubling. A few moments might even make you gasp. Whoever would have guessed this film would turn out the way it did after looking at its poster? Check out the link to its IMDb page down in the links area to see what I mean. There's something to be said about the love that's shared between family members, especially if it's a family you make and not just one you're born into. When you choose whom you love and spend your time with, it can mean just as much as a family to which you have a direct relation. Some might argue that it can be a stronger bond, and I don't think I'd disagree with that view. This film has a story that's filled with murky decisions made for tough reasons. It's no wonder that it won the freaking Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for a Best Foreign Language Oscar. It's rare to find a film with such complex depth to it, and when you do you'd better give it all the accolades it very much deserves. Since watching Shoplifters, it's stuck in our minds. It's sneaky that way. It gets inside you and just doesn't want to let go. It's not the cheeriest movie ever made—we're not going to lie about that—but it's safe to say that it's an important film. It's a work of art that demands your attention, your emotions, and your critical thoughts. It's a lasting masterpiece.

Episode 10 of One Week Only! To celebrate 100 years since the 1916 Easter Rising that lead to Ireland's Independence, we're covering three Irish films this week! Our key film is the documentary "Older Than Ireland" about Irish citizens who are over 100 years old, and reflects on life and aging and how the country has changed over the course of the 20th century. We also cover the Irish film "Viva" set in Cuba about an aspiring Drag performer (which made the shortlist for the Best Foreign Language Oscar nomination), the Irish/British horror film "Sacrifice" about a dangerous cult on the Shetland Islands in Scotland, the gorgeous Bulgarian film "Viktoria" about a girl growing up in the twilight years of the Soviet Union, and the surreal Iranian dark comedy "Atomic Heart" about two women on a strange nighttime drive through Tehran.

Ruben directed films on skiing in the late 1990s, some of them now world-famous. After a documentary work in 2000 he made his award-winning feature debut, The Guitar Mongoloid, in 2004.  Ruben's feature film Involuntary was selected for Cannes 2008 and has since been in major festivals worldwide and Sweden´s nominee for Best Foreign Language Oscar that year.  Involuntary is a series of stories exploring different perspectives on the power of a group over the individual. Ruben’s short film Incident by a Bank won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. His next feature, Play, premiered in Cannes 2011. Incident by a Bank is about an attempted bank robbery and follows the thought process of two confused witnesses, the filmographer and the producer. Play is an astute observation based on real cases of bullying. In central Gothenburg, Sweden, a group of boys, aged 12-14, robbed other children on about 40 occasions between 2006 and 2008, using an elaborate scheme called the "little brother number" or "brother trick", involving advanced role-play and gang rhetoric rather than physical violence.
