In a programme length interview, film director Sam Mendes talks to Philip Dodd about his film Jarhead (a war film in which nothing happens) which is about to be released on DVD. He also discusses how his childhood deeply influences his choice of subject matter in his work and how his approach could be said to identify him as the Tony Blair of film and theatre.
