With Francine Stock

The controversial director of Basic Instinct and Robocop, Paul Verhoeven, tells Francine Stock why Isabelle Huppert agreed to star in his latest contentious movie, Elle, after he had been turned down by several Hollywood actresses.

Tim Robey and Larushka Ivan-Zadeh recommend a few films for anyone wishing to have their own Isabelle Huppert festival this weekend.

Director Kelly Reichardt explains why her films are light on plot and dialogue and often end in the middle of a scene.
