Film Weekly unlocks Conviction with Sam Rockwell

In a bumper edition of Film Weekly, Jason Solomons meets Anglophile actor Sam Rockwell (Moon, Frost/Nixon, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) who's in London to promote Conviction, in which he stars alongside Hilary Swank as a man wrongfully imprisoned for murder. Rockwell talks sibling love and justice in a film tipped for Oscar success.

Plus, director Clio Barnard speaks about her much-acclaimed hybrid of documentary and fiction, The Arbor.

Xan Brooks clocks on to review some of this week's other releases including Olivier Assayas's epic Carlos, the star-studded Red and Mary and Max, a downbeat Aussie animated drama featuring the voices of Toni Collette and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Finally Jason meets director Debs Gardner-Paterson and the cast of Africa United which premiered at the London film festival this week, telling the story of a feisty troupe of African children and their 3,000-mile journey to the 2010 World Cup in Johannesburg.
