This week on Film Weekly, Jason Solomons meets Bernard Rose to discuss Howard Marks and the screen adaptation of his memoir Mr Nice. The British director talks about the thematic links in his films, from horror flick Candyman to lo-fi collaborations with Danny Huston, Ivansxtc and The Kreutzer Sonata.
Jason also talks to Tim Hetherington, winner of the 2007 World Press Photography prize for his images of US soldiers in Afghanistan. Hetherington has turned his work with Vanity Fair colleague, writer Sebastian Junger into a compelling documentary, Restrepo, about a year with one platoon in the most dangerous valley in Afghanistan.
Xan Brooks pops in to review some of this week's other releases, including the return of Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Zac Efron in The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud and bonkers Belgian animation A Town Called Panic.
