Nikki Bedi is joined in the studio by the director Ellie Foumbi and the critic Anna Bogutskaya
Nikki Bedi is joined by Cameroonian-American director Ellie Foumbi to talk about her acclaimed film “Our Father, The Devil”, in which a care worker (played by Babetida Sadjo, pictured) believes that the new priest who has arrived to minister to her patients is actually a ruthless former warlord.
Together with critic Anna Bogutskaya, they’ll be discussing Christian Bale’s glass eye, Chloe Grace Moretz’s passion for sci-fi, Novelist Celeste Ng’s latest book, who will be the next 007 and German director Edward Berger’s version of All Quiet on The Western Front. Plus live Mexican music from Son Rompe Pera.
