Critic Lisa Nesselson joins us to discuss the importance of France's annual "Fête du Cinéma". We also talk about "Charlatan", the latest feature from Polish director Agnieszka Holland. In her fact-inspired drama, a Czech man who has devoted his life to diagnosing and healing people with plants faces the wrath of the Czech government.
Also out this week is the irreverent French film "Teddy", which would have been shown at Cannes in 2020 had the festival not been cancelled due to Covid-19.
Speaking of Cannes, the film festival starts next week but if you're lucky enough to be in Paris, two festivals are opening their arms wide to the general public. We take a closer look at Chéries-Chéris, the annual LGBT+ film festival, which is on this week until July 6.
