Director Luca Guadagnino on confronting the taboo of cannibalism in his film Bones and All

Director Luca Guadagnino on Bones and All, Gainsborough’s House, and writer Ronald Blythe at 100.

Luca Guadagnino won the Silver Lion for Best Director at this year's Venice Film Festival for his latest film, Bones and All, starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell. He talks to Tom Sutcliffe about confronting the taboo of cannibalism on screen and reuniting with Chalamet after Call Me By Your Name.

Mark Bills, the Director of Gainsborough’s House, joins Tom to discuss the reopening of the painter's home in Suffolk.

Ronald Blythe, the man who’s been described as the greatest living writer on the English countryside, celebrates his 100th birthday this month.  His friend and fellow writer Richard Mabey and the academic and author Alexandra Harris discuss his work and a new collection of his columns on Suffolk life, Next to Nature.
