Saturday Review

on BBC Two England

presented by Russell Davies
Film: True Stories, the first feature film directed by David Byrne is an affectionate montage of life in present-day Texas, using strange stories drawn largely from the tabloid press. Part documentary, part fantasy and part extended rock video it has a soundtrack by Byrne's band Talking Heads.
Opera: Michael Nyman's chamber piece The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat is based on the true case study by Oliver Sacks about a music teacher who could recognise his pupils only by the sound of their voices. The score mixes Nyman's own music with that of Schumann.
With discussion from Eric Griffiths, Jeanette Winterson and Tony Palmer.
