Film Weekly: Bafta preview

This week, I talk to Irish actor Ciaran Hinds about working on There Will Be Blood.

The film is likely to result in Daniel Day Lewis being handed an award at this weekend's Baftas, and I look ahead to the event in the company of chief exec Amanda Berry. How could the event be improved?

Finally, I meet up with Nick Broomfield, who is quietly becoming one of Britain's most restless and creative film makers, moving from documentaries starring himself, to impressively kinetic real-life dramatic reconstructions. His latest is Battle for Haditha, about a massacre perpetrated by American marines in Iraq and there are a couple of scenes of death and destruction that rank up there with the most gruesome and shocking I've ever seen in a war movie.
