As regular readers will easily notice, I don't listen to much radio. Radio 4 are having a film season, however (a film season on the radio? How barmy!), so I've managed to tune in for some of that. I say "tune in" -- iPlayer is our friend...
Hollywood
Part 1 The Prequel
Two-part documentary. Last week's first part (i.e. this one) looks at the rise of Hollywood, and how many of the genres and styles we associate with it actually come from other, more-powerful-in-their-day, countries' film outputs. Part two, The Sequel, on tonight (by the time you're probably reading this) looks at Hollywood's potential future.

Life at 24 Frames a Second
Part 1 In the Dark
Part 2 Fear & Desire
David Thomson certainly makes for an... idiosyncratic, shall we say... guide to the movies.
