Critic Lisa Nesselson joins us to discuss modern French horror flick "The Swarm" and reveals just how unsettling a choreographed collective of grasshoppers can be. We also talk about Samir Guesmi's first foray behind the camera after three decades as a memorable face on screen here in France. His debut feature, "Ibrahim", renders a real-life dilemma credible and touching. The film has picked up awards at various French film festivals.
Plus, Lee Isaac Chung's "Minari" has charmed audiences outside of France. Lisa tells us why this critically acclaimed Korean-American family story almost never got made.
And the first-time filmmakers behind "Gagarine" manage to paint a touching portrait of adolescence and aspiration in the housing projects on the outskirts of Paris.
