We talk to the director Matteo Garrone about his new film, Reality.

The best of the world's arts, film, music and literature brought to you every day. Presented by Mark Coles 

Matteo Garrone
The director Matteo Garrone made his name with the award-winning mafia film Gomorra. His new film couldn't be more different. It's the story of a fishmonger who wants to be on Big Brother but his desire to be on reality TV starts to distort his sense of reality. 

Blessing Ngobeni
Award-winning emerging South African artist who paints Johannesburg in terms of what he sees and hears on its streets talks about how art saved his life

Chilly Gonzales
The Canadian pianist, record producer, composer and rapper talks about his eclectic mix of performing skills - doing much of it in a dressing gown and slippers.
