Janice Forsyth with the week's film releases, plus she speaks to Sylvain Chomet about his animated feature The Illusionist, which has been described as a 'love letter to Edinburgh'.

Janice Forsyth with the unmissable weekly film programme. 

Could there have been a more fitting film to open the Edinburgh International Film Festival on Wednesday night? Janice talks to director Sylvain Chomet about his animated feature THE ILLUSIONIST, the tale of a 1950s magician whose livelihood is threatened by rock and roll musicians. Set largely in Scotland, the beautiful hand-drawn film has been described as a 'love letter to Edinburgh'. 

With the World Cup gathering pace, we bring you the story of a group of heroic sporting underdogs - the Afghan National Cricket Team, whose recent surprise success is documented in the film OUT OF THE ASHES. 

And with Bill Nighy sporting a Leslie Phillips-style moustache to play a suave assassin in WILD TARGET, we ask why Hollywood is hiring so many ageing hitmen.
