On the show this week, Jason Solomons meets French director Michel Hazanavicius to discuss The Artist - Hazanavicius's homage to silent cinema. The film is gathering up plaudits from around the world as we head towards Oscars, picking up six Golden Globe nominations last week. Could it go all the way?
Hazanavicius discusses how he managed to finance what was on the surface a difficult pitch and why he thinks silent movies have a special connection with audiences.
Also, Malaysian-Chinese actor Michelle Yeoh speaks to Jason about her new role - that of Burmese political campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi in Luc Besson's The Lady.
Finally, Xan Brooks joins Jason to review Daniel Craig in David Fincher's remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
