This week on Film Weekly, Jason Solomons meets British film-maker Carol Morley and actor Zawe Ashton to discuss their new film Dreams of a Life. Morley's film takes a forensic look at the life and tragic early death of Joyce Vincent, a popular and vibrant woman who lay in her north London flat for three years after she died. The room was undisturbed, her television and heating still on. Morley and Ashton explained how they used a mix of documentary and drama to tell Vincent's story.
Guardian film critic Xan Brooks pops in to review some of this week's other releases, including Antonio Banderas as an adventurous animated cat in Shrek spin-off Puss In Boots, the high concept science drama Another Earth, all-star ensemble smooch-fest New Year's Eve and French re-make The Well-digger's Daughter. Xan and Jason also round up some of this week's gongs goings-on with news from the European Film Awards in Berlin and the British Independent Film Awards, which were held in London this week.
