Asif Kapadia talks about the film that influenced Amy, Diego Maradona and The Warrior. He explains how a lightbulb went on above his head when he first saw the Vietnamese gangster movie, Cyclo, and how his life was never the same again. Francine also talks to Cyclo's director Tran Anh Hung about one of the movie's key scenes, when a helicopter falls off the back of a lorry.

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