BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Sylvain Chomet, Resentment, Alice in Wonderland

Presented by Anne McElvoy. With animated film maker Sylvain Chomet on his latest work.

Presented by Anne McElvoy. With animated film maker Sylvain Chomet on his latest work, The Illusionist, a debate about the idea of resentment and the latest play from Laura Wade.

Anne McElvoy talks to Sylvain Chomet, creator of the Oscar nominated animated feature 'Belleville Rendez-vous' about his latest project 'The Illusionist'. The great French comic Jacques Tati wrote the script in 1956 as a personal letter to his estranged daughter, and Chomet has realised this story of a father and daughter who travel across France to Prague which stars an animated version of Tati himself.

There is a discussion of the idea of resentment, and its role in shaping history. Does an understanding of this emotional driver offer a new way to understand conflicts of the past and present?Anne is joined by Matthew Taylor, who was Chief Adviser on Political Strategy to the Prime Minister during the last government, the political theorist Alex Callinicos, and the historian Kenneth Minogue.

And Night Waves theatre critic Susannah Clapp reviews the new play by Laura Wade, author of 'Posh' the recent stage hit set in an elite Oxford student dining society. This time Wade bringing her own take on Alice in Wonderland to her native Sheffield.
