Nick Hornby on Wild; JK Simmons and Damien Chazelle on Whiplash
Nick Hornby on his adaptation of Wild, plus director Damien Chazelle discusses his award-winning drama about drumming, Whiplash.
With Francine Stock.
Arsenal fan Nick Hornby reveals what appealed to him about Cheryl Strayed's memoir Wild, about her 1000 mile hike through mid America, and why he was never tempted to try the walk himself.
Jazz drumming is the unlikely subject for a movie, but Whiplash has won numerous awards in festivals across the world. Its director Damien Chazelle and star J.K. Simmons discuss the film's theme of how music teaching can turn into bullying.
