This week we’re joining by special guest Bart Layton, director of the upcoming heist caper American Animals. He previews the film ahead of its UK premiere at Film 4’s Sumer Screen at Somerset House, where this episode was recorded. Up for review are Richard Ayre’s high court drama, The Children Act, and Spike Lee’s white supremacist-skewering BlacKkKlansman. Michael Leader, David Jenkins and Hannah Woodhead also look back at Lee’s hit comedy from 1986, She’s Gotta Have It, for Film Club. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
