Carol Morley on Muriel Box
With Antonia Quirke
Director Carol Morley asked Film Programme listeners if any of them knew Muriel Box, Britain's most prolific female director and arguably most neglected. And she heard from Muriel's daughter, grandson and family friend. Carol tells Antonia why she believes Muriel deserves more recognition for her ground-breaking work.
Antonia is on a mission this summer to tell people how much she loves their work, to take the opportunity while she can. This week, she tells Jude Law how much she's always wanted to talk to him about The Talented Mr Ripley and how one scene, in particular, has never left her.
Barbara Sukowa has worked with some mercurial directors often known for giving actors a hard time. She tells Antonia why nobody has dared to give her a hard time on set, and about Two Of Us, a powerful drama about two women in their 70s who have been lovers for years, without their families knowing.
