The best of the world's arts, film, music and literature brought to you every day. Presented by Harriett Gilbert. On today's programme: We review Holy Motors (pictured), the film which Cannes saw as a strange but ultimately triumphant return by the long absent darling of French avant-garde cinema, Leos Carax. British film artist John Akomfrah has a new exhibition in London, exploring identity and its meaning in the age of cloning and digital manipulation. And the art of hair - an exhibition of Paris's Quai Branly explores how hair is central to the human sense of self and social organisation. Image: Holy Motors © Pierre Grise Productions
