Rupert Goold on his film Judy, Kara Walker reviewed, Booker Book Group with Bernardine Evaristo
Director Rupert Goold on his Judy Garland biopic starring Renée Zellweger, and Kara Walker's Turbine Hall installation reviewed.
Director Rupert Goold discusses his new film Judy. Starring Renée Zellweger as legendary singer Judy Garland, the movie examines the final year of the star's life when, despite struggling with ill health, she was forced to take a demanding five week gig at a London nightclub in order to pay her debts.
Kara Walker’s 13 metre high statue is unveiled in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall today. Critic Asana Greenstreet reviews Fons Americanus which comments on British responsibility for slavery.
Bernardine Evaristo is the latest of our listener book groups where readers meet each of the authors shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2019. Evaristo's novel Girl, Woman, Other is told in a poetic form with little punctuation and follows 12 characters, most of them black British women.
