The Movie Café - 20/05/2010

Janice Forsyth with the unmissable film programme. Jake Gyllenhaal has said he wants to be taken less seriously as an actor. So will his role in PRINCE OF PERSIA help him to achieve his wish? Werner Herzog is the cult director behind Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre: The Wrath of God. So why has he remade Abel Ferrara's 1992 cop drama BAD LIEUTENANT, with Nicolas Cage? Israeli filmmaker Haim Tabakman talks to Janice about his taboo-breaking gay love story EYES WIDE OPEN, set within Jerusalem's Orthodox Jewish community. We interview Scottish-born actor, writer and director Robert Cavanah about PIMP - his gangster movie set within the Soho sex industry, which stars Martin Compston, Billy Boyd and Danny Dyer. Plus we bring you news of the return of the pre-feature short.
