Proof that real life often provides the best movie scripts: “Lion” is the story of one man’s search to find his family in a country of over a billion people. The film stars Nicole Kidman and Dev Patel as the mother and son duo brought together by a twist of fate. Olivia Salazar-Winspear caught up with them on the red carpet in Paris to hear more about this incredible journey.
Also, art imitates life here in France, as new release “Our Land” tackles the rise of the far right in national politics. The film has been called a thinly-veiled criticism of the National Front party, two months before France’s first-round presidential vote.
And we check out a new installation in Paris which puts Abraham Poincheval between a rock and an art place; the French artist is spending a week encased in stone at Paris’s Palais de Tokyo gallery.
