Love, Reacher Said Nothing, Waste, Capital, Imagined Museum
The week's cultural highlights, including Gaspar Noe's sexually explicit film Love, Andy Martin's Reacher Said Nothing and Waste at the National Theatre.
Gaspar Noe's film Love is so sexually explicit that it has been labelled as pornography by many reviewers. It is eye-poppingly graphic, but is there substance beneath the lengthy sex scenes?
The subject of Andy Martin's new book is author Lee Child. He shadowed Child as he wrote his most recent Jack Reacher novel. It's a meta book about a writer and his craft.
Banned by the censors in 1907, Harley Granville Barker's play Waste is being staged at London's National Theatre. It exposes a cut-throat, cynical world of sex, sleaze and death
