Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Bart Layton about his new film, Crime 101. Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realization that there can be no turning back. Adapted from Don Winslow's acclaimed novella of the same name, the film is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter). Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte round out the cast. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts. Follow us on Spotify.

Clare Binns talks to filmmaker Ira Sachs about his new film Peter Hujar's Day live on stage at the Duke's at Komedia cinema in Brighton. Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in the stunning new film from Ira Sachs, a richly cinematic rendering of the meeting of acclaimed photographer Peter Hujar and writer and artist Linda Rosenkrantz. Recorded in 1974, Hujar describes the routines and rituals that define an artist's life, capturing a single day's activities in touching and funny detail: from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag, to the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday. Both elegant and intimate — and a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — PETER HUJAR'S DAY is both a masterful portrait of a time and place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.

Hope Hopkinson talks to the legendary June Squibb about her new film, Eleanor The Great. Eleanor the Great features a bravura performance from June Squibb in the title role of the spirited 94-year-old who tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own. Eleanor Morgenstein has always stayed engaged and connected to the people around her. So, after a devastating loss, she relocates from Florida to New York City to live with her daughter and grandson, hoping to reconnect with her family. Instead, she feels even more adrift and invisible. One day she unknowingly wanders into a support group where she doesn't quite belong, only to reveal a story that unwittingly brings her a level of attention she did not intend. Eleanor finds herself caught up in the enlivening consequences as a young journalism student pursues her as a friend and mentor. When things go too far, Eleanor must confront the truth. In her directorial debut, Scarlett Johansson brings together themes of aging, family, loss and what constitutes deceit, as this story of friendship and history turns into a profound tale of complicated humanity.

Hope Hopkinson talks to filmmaker Jafar Panahi about his Palme d'Or winning film, It Was Just An Accident. The story begins when Vahid (Vahid Mobasseri), a mechanic in a Tehran garage, is visited by Eghbal (Ebrahim Azizi) whose car has been in an accident. The distinctive squeak of Eghbal's prosthetic leg makes Vahid suspect the stranger is the sadist who tortured him in prison. Those suspicions are enough for Vahid to take Eghbal captive and dig him a grave in the desert. What follows is a riveting moral thriller that unflinchingly addresses censorship, authoritarianism and human rights abuses, powered throughout by a relentless momentum and the indelible craft of a master auteur. Yet it is also a film that contrives to be deeply and movingly humane, not least in the way it derives dark humour from its knotty scenario. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts. Follow us on Spotify.
