Down and out in the city of lights: Catherine Frot stars in bittersweet film

ENCORE! © Carole Bethuel

She's regularly voted France's favourite actress and Catherine Frot certainly steals the show in a new film which sees her character moving from pillar to post, with no permanent roof over her head. Film critic Lisa Nesselson tells us why she found the unlikely friendship at the centre of "Under the Stars of Paris" quite moving.

We also discuss Emmanuelle Béart's return to movies after years on stage, as "L'Étreinte" hits French screens.

Plus, late Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami's life and work is the subject of a series of screenings at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, and we meet Joann Sfar's "Little Vampire", as the graphic artist racks up another hit at the cinema.
