Film Weekly goes in search of jazz singer Jackie Paris

This week on the Film Weekly podcast, a compelling new documentary, 'Tis Autumn: The Search for Jackie Paris, introduces Jason Solomons to a lost jazz singer. Jason talks to the film's director Raymond De Felitta about his own journey to rediscover the singer, who was held in the highest esteem by musicians such as Peggy Lee, Charlie Parker and Charles Mingus.

Xan Brooks then joins Jason in the pod to review this week's new releases: Body of Lies, Choke, Blindness and Waltz With Bashir.

Finally, Jason meets director Fernando Meirelles, of City of God and The Constant Gardener fame, to discuss his distinctive cinematic style and what attracted him to José Saramago's challenging novel, Blindness.
