French director François Ozon discusses his latest film L'Amant Double, a psychological thriller in which a young woman falls in love with her secretive psychiatrist.

Patrick Heron, the British artist and critic is celebrated in a new retrospective exhibition at Tate St Ives. Heron played a major role in the development of British post-war abstract art exploring the Cornish light and colour in the landscape surrounding his home. Curator Andrew Wilson and artist Susanna Heron, Patrick's daughter, join Samira.

The acclaim for Rachel Kushner's novel The Flamethrowers brought her to a wide audience. Now she has written The Mars Room, the fictional account of a woman in a US prison with a double life sentence - plus 6 years. She describes getting access to the Californian prison system and the extraordinary stories she uncovered there.
