Paths Of Glory, Blue Ruin, Walerian Borowczyk

BBC Radio 4 - The Film Programme, Paths Of Glory, Blue Ruin, Walerian Borowczyk

Christiane Kubrick on Paths Of Glory, plus Blue Ruin and the world of Walerian Borowczyk.

Christiane Kubrick on meeting her husband on the set of Paths Of Glory. Plus, Walerian Borowczyk's strange world and the makers of Blue Ruin discuss their award-winning thriller.

With Francine Stock.

Stanley Kubrick's wife Christiane reveals how they met and fell in love on the set of World War I drama Paths Of Glory, and why he was misunderstood by the British press.

The star and director of Blue Ruin, Macon Blair and Jeremy Saulnier, discuss their award-winning revenge thriller, and how the director had to dip into his own pocket, and his wife's, to get the film made.

Walerian Borowczyk is best known as the director of La Bete, a surreal fantasy that was banned in cinemas across the country in the late 70s. Before that, he was regarded as one of the greatest film-makers of his generation, and a new season at the BFI hopes to restore his reputation.

Anthony Chen, the director of Ilo Ilo, discusses his award-winning autobiographical tale about growing up in Singapore during the financial crash of the late 90s, and why Singapore audiences don't like art-house movies.
