This week, Jason Solomons heads to the Dublin international film festival to witness the unveiling of Hugh Hudson's Revolution Revisited, a rejig of his 1985 epic of American independence with Al Pacino; catch up with Armando Iannucci as he tours his punchy political comedy In the Loop; and meets young film-maker Margaret Corkery, whose debut feature Eamon is one of the festival highlights.
Plus, Xan Brooks joins Jason to review the key new releases of the week: the affectionate heavy metal band portrait Anvil! The Story of Anvil; Che: Part Two, Steven Soderbergh's unsentimental conclusion to his biopic of the revolutionary; Gran Torino, which is said to be Clint Eastwood's swansong as an actor; and Cadillac Records, an enjoyable romp through the mythical history of American blues.
