Film Weekly gets animated with Sylvain Chomet

This week Jason Solomons meets the master of French animation, Sylvain Chomet , best known for Belleville Rendez-Vous. Chomet's The Illusionist, an animated reinvention of Jacques Tati's classic, opened this year's Edinburgh film festival – and that's where Jason caught up with Chomet to discuss his love of Scotland, where he set the film. Jason also meets Scandar Copti, co-director of Oscar-nominated Israeli film Ajami . Scandar discusses the real characters and situations that were the inspiration for this tale of low-level drug dealing and communal violence. Finally, we review the week's big releases, including Rebecca Hall in Please Give , Ashton Kutcher in Killers , and Wild Grass from veteran director Alain Resnais.
