Film critic Lisa Nesselson speaks to Eve Jackson about the week’s film news, including the movie that won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival and the Best Film and Best Actress Golden Globes, “Poor Things”. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, it’s a Victorian-era comic romp tipped for an Oscar or two. Also on the show, we look at French family drama “A Silence”, starring on-screen favourites Emmanuelle Devos and Daniel Auteuil, from writer-director Joachim Lafosse. It’s based on a real-life case where the man prosecuting child abusers turned out to be an abuser himself.
We also find out more about this year’s My French Film Festival, which gives people all over the world the chance to watch French films online for a month.
