In this week's edition, Jason Solomons meets the director of Heat, Collateral and The Insider, Michael Mann, whose new film Public Enemies has Johnny Depp as the midwestern, Depression-era bank-robber/folk-hero John Dillinger and Christian Bale as the lawman who hunts him down. The Chicago native discusses his city's identification with outsiders, how he sited Public Enemies in the actual locations where the events occurred and why he chose to shoot it in high-definition video.
Next, Xan Brooks joins in to review the week's key films: cops-and-robbers blockbuster Public Enemies, the 3D kiddie animation Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and the reissue of the Cuban classic Strawberry and Chocolate (Fresa y Chocolate).
And finally, Jason talks to director Göran Hugo Olsson about his filmic tribute to Philly soul star Billy Paul, the new documentary Am I Black Enough for You?
