Nicole Kidman; Steven Isserlis
Mark Lawson talks to Nicole Kidman about her Oscar-nominated performance in Rabbit Hole, and to cellist Steven Isserlis and composer Anne Dudley about their new work for children.
With Mark Lawson.
World-renowned cellist Steven Isserlis and composer Anne Dudley explain why they've joined forces to encourage children to enjoy classical music. The resulting programme of concerts for schools and families includes re-working of classic fairy tales, with titles including Little Red Violin and Cindercella.
In Nicole Kidman's latest film Rabbit Hole, she plays a grieving mother coming to terms with the death of her young son in a hit-and-run accident. Her performance earned her an Oscar nomination this week for best Leading Actress. In a rare interview, Nicole Kidman discusses the emotional demands of the role and the hit-and-miss nature of the roles she's played in the past.
Matthew Sweet continues his reports on film-going around the world and today hears about the Neelam Cinema in Srinagar, Kashmir.
With the season of televised awards ceremonies now going strong, we consider the moment when the cameras focus on the anxious nominees, and reflect on how the losers should react when their name is not announced from the stage - polite applause, a generous smile or a stoical expression? Stephen Armstrong discusses the options.
Producer Nicki Paxman.
