Film Weekly podcast: Thandie Newton on Retreat and taking to the stage

This week on Film Weekly Jason Solomons meets actor Thandie Newton to discuss her role in British indie thriller Retreat and her stage debut as Paulina in Death and the Maiden.

Scottish director Lynne Ramsay talks to Jason about her third feature We Need to Talk About Kevin starring Tilda Swinton as a mother trying to come to terms with her son's involvement in a high school shooting. Ramsay discusses the challenge of writing a screenplay based on Lionel Shriver's bestselling novel and creating a visual experience from a literary work.

And Xan Brooks joins Jason to review some of this week's other releases including Na Hong-jin's The Yellow Sea and The Black Power Mixtape 1967 - 1975.
