Episode description

With Francine Stock

Anchorman writer/director Adam McKay discusses The Big Short, his Oscar nominated tragi-comedy about the financial crisis that hit the global markets in the mid 2000s.

Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien reveals why he cut out the plot from his martial arts epic, The Assassin, recently voted by British critics as the best film of last year.

Ben Hopkins talks about his political satire Lost In Karastan in which an unemployed film-maker is hired by a dictator to make an epic extolling the virtues of his country.
