Love, Reacher Said Nothing, Waste, Capital, Imagined Museum

BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Review, Love, Reacher Said Nothing, Waste, Capital, Imagined Museum

Including a look at Gaspar Noe's film Love, and Waste at the National Theatre.

The week's cultural highlights, including Gaspar Noe's sexually explicit film Love, Andy Martin's Reacher Said Nothing and Waste at the National Theatre.

Gaspar Noe's film Love is so sexually explicit that it has been labelled as pornography by many reviewers. It is eye-poppingly graphic, but is there substance beneath the lengthy sex scenes? 
The subject of Andy Martin's new book is author Lee Child. He shadowed Child as he wrote his most recent Jack Reacher novel. It's a meta book about a writer and his craft.
Banned by the censors in 1907, Harley Granville Barker's play Waste is being staged at London's National Theatre. It exposes a cut-throat, cynical world of sex, sleaze and death
BBCTV has adapted John Lanchester's novel Capital -about the crazy housing market in London - into a series starring Toby Jones
Tate Liverpool imagines the world in 2053 when all art has vanished and museum visitors have to evoke the works themselves.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
