the new film my salinger year starring sigourney weaver of course 1st of all tell us a bit by ourselves. well my salinger year is based on a memoir by the author joanna rakoff her story is that as a young woman hoping to become a poet she moved to new york city that was in the ninety's and she said to work for a literary agency and it turned out that her main job she thought she was going to become a writer but her main job was responding to letters forte the author j.d. salinger who was represented by this literary agency and was read at is played in the film his agent by sigourney weaver ok you set it up very nicely let's see is short clip and girls. yes terry i will let my post now. of course to mary salinger. and above all you never ever call him.

jerry doesn't want to hear about how much you love the catcher in the rye and he doesn't want to read your stories don't have to he's good writers make the worst assistant. in the work. tough cookie day you had a sneak preview i know so what's it like. well it's a little bit like the devil wears prada if instead of a fashion magazine or where the literary world weaver is back in her role as the mean boss that we know from working girl back in the eighty's margaret quali the daughter of andy and make del playing the young hopeful and actually this is a very sincere movie because she has to respond to the fan mail of j.d. salinger's fans and she's not supposed to but she's she ends up wanting to write some very personal responses to a lot of lost souls out there who connect with his book ok now these 75 of us are

the bali 9 a kohls the souther bryson of course but that is also being some controversy. that's right well cause for celebration the valley nala in the past 70 years has become one of the world's biggest festivals the world's biggest public festival in fact it started off after world war 2 under the american military administration actually started by the 1951 and has become one of the most important festivals in the world now controversy this year the jury is led by british actor jeremy irons and head of the ballina a lot of comments strange comments he's been making in the past few years have been surfacing about women about gay marriage and he tried to put those to rest this morning at a press conference saying unequivocally that he believes that equal rights for women that gay marriage and the right to abortion are human rights and he said that

in what he delivered almost as a shakespearean soliloquy so the barely not off to a very political start as as always and just also another controversy about the album alfred sorry by a prize he was the. first director of the bell in the back in the 1950s right and this is been a prize it's been awarded to films that i expand the view of what cinematic arts can do that prize has been suspended because it turns out that i've had bauer and this is been really reported in the last few weeks was connected to the nazi propaganda minister go but isn't that a lot of work for him so the belly not a has responded they've gotten rid of this prize and they're looking forward i think to another 70 years. ok ok now with a bit of a different history i know what a film buff you all briefly tell us all that you're going to try and see as ready folds as possible but give us your take it up favorite coming up.

there is a movie in the next few days called dow and this is a very strange movie it's kind of as soviet truman show the director of this movie basically locked his cast of 400 people into a studio in ukraine for 3 years while they reenacted historical events of the soviet union and during that time cast members formed relationships they had children all sorts of things happened so i'm really looking forward to seeing how that movie turned out david great so you have a great evening and i'm sure well we'll talk again tomorrow at the same time thanks very much. finally today the polish city of krakow was recently bestowed the title of european capital of gastronomical culture this designation might come as a surprise to some but over the past 3 decades the city has turned from state run restaurants with no idea about service to

a culture of award winning cuisine so we visited a restaurant where polish chefs are rediscovering and reimagining the local cuisine . cracow poland is world famous for its main square and old town but the emergence of one of europe's most dynamic cullen airy scenes in recent years has gone barely noticed outside poland the city hosts several top notch restaurants. perhaps the finest is the hotel copernicus the head chef here is marching for the kid that age 5 years ago the renowned french restaurant guide named him as the best chef in southern poland he's one of a new generation of top polish chefs who have turned cracow into a gourmet capital. and prince of persia competition keeps all of us on our toes usually these days we're serving guests who've dined in the best restaurants all around the world who will be going out and when they come to our city they expect

a skilled baker only about 5 seconds the hardest part is definitely the braiding. but then you can learn just about anything but respect if you come to one of our workshops. over a century ago jewish immigrants took the soft bread rings to new york city where in a slightly altered form it began an international career as the bagel bakers have been turning them out for 600 years. now have the e.u. designated status of a food with protected geographical indication. that i'm too we all know that to make absolutely certain that nobody steals our junky you can move on them for governor i think that's. also typical are filled polish dumplings cuisine is a hit with the tourists. really good. night
