Review: Steven Spielberg's alien film Disclosure Day
In this review show, guests offer their verdicts on Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, the Cape Fear TV series and a major M.C. Escher exhibition at Somerset House.
Film producer Jason Solomons and Guardian columnist Zoe Williams join Tom Sutcliffe to discuss Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day – a film which looks at whether aliens are really out there.
John D. MacDonald’s psychological thriller The Executioners has inspired two Cape Fear films and now there’s a 10-part TV series starring Amy Adams and Javier Bardem. Jason and Zoe give their verdicts.
They also talk about M. C. Escher’s major exhibition at Somerset House. Famous for drawing optical illusions, impossible buildings, and endless patterns, the Dutch artist’s work has inspired film scenes in Labyrinth and Christopher Nolan’s Inception.
Plus we will be revealing the winners of the Women’s Prize for Fiction and Non-Fiction.
