Chapters

  • Detachment

    We review the latest film from maverick British director Tony Kaye, starring Adrien Brody who plays a substitute teacher in an unnamed urban American high school.

  • Matteo Pericoli

    We talk to the Italian artist about the process behind the making of two eleven and half metre drawings in pen and ink which show the view from both sides of the Thames in London.

    Duration: 05:48

  • Rock en Espanol

    Music in Miami reflects the wide range of Latin American communities that have settled there, but Spanish rock music seems not to get a fair crack of the whip. We try to find out why.

    Duration: 05:50
