Amy, Apple Music, The Book of Aron, As Is, Cornell at the Royal Academy
Cultural highlights, including Asif Kapadia's Amy, Apple Music, Jim Shepard's novel The Book of Aron, a revival of the first AIDS play and a Joseph Cornell retrospective in London.
Amy is Asif Kapadia's documentary telling the story of the short life of the talented singer Amy Winehouse.
We look at the launch of Apple Music - is it an exciting brand new way to explore what's out there or just another option in an already over-serviced market?
Jim Shepard's novel The Book of Aron is about a young boy in wartime Poland occupied by the Nazis. Does it manage to say something new about a familiar subject?
There's a revival in London of the first AIDS play: As Is. It premiered in New York in 1985 and won a TONY. What does it say about the situation today?
The Joseph Cornell retrospective at London's Royal Academy allows visitors to view collages rarely seen in the UK.
