Holy Motors, John Akomfrah, and the art of hair.
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.
