Nicole Kidman; Iain Sinclair on M; Moon buggies in Bletchley Park

Nicole Kidman on her new thriller Before I Go to Sleep. Novelist Iain Sinclair waxes lyrical about Peter Lorre in M. A whistle-stop tour of cinemas popping up across the land.

With Francine Stock.

Nicole Kidman discusses the research she carried out for her latest thriller, Before I Go To Sleep, in which she plays a woman who wakes up every morning with no memories.

Novelist Iain Sinclair waxes darkly about Fritz Lang's masterpiece M, which introduced Peter Lorre to an unsuspecting public.

Going to a conventional cinema seems so last century, as films are now being shown in boats, forts, boxing rings and, for one weekend only, Bletchley Park. The Film Programme takes a whistle-stop tour of the more unusual venues where we can watch a movie this month.

Film critic Tim Robey and cinema programmer Clare Binns tell Francine which of the three hundred films playing at the Toronto Film Festival they are looking forward to.
