michael douglas, who played one of the main roles in the film, won an oscar for it. in radio conversations, stone comes from the actor. this is an adaptation of a one-man show written and performed by eric bogasyan, who performs in the spoken genre. the action of the one-act play is expanded due to the documentary narrative, talked to death, the life and murder of allan berg. the story of a radio commentator who built a program on dialogue with listeners live on air, who was killed after numerous threats to the american neo-fascists in 1984. stone moved the action from denver to dallas, this is the first look at okennedy's future film. radio conversations are the director's most radical film experiment. for me, it was a test of mastery of the profession, exercises to develop the director's muscles, the opportunity to try new ways of filming, working with a very small troupe, strict discipline, six actors, a narrow set, almost like a film about a submarine or an elevator cabin, it was challenge for me, before i always preferred large canvases, now it was necessary to

about this question of representation because we're all used to seeing people like martin sheen, michael douglas alan alda, harrison ford, kiefer sutherland, bill pullman, james cromwell, who's played the president twice, and also prince phillip once. he seems to be like the archetype for male leaders of some kind. and billy bob thornton also played it twice. that's usually the folksho get cast either on television or film as presidents. and so i was sort of looki at you know, we have this example, as i said, of morgan freeman. then ias looking a little bit forward. and athat point in 20, we'd had dennis haysbert and d.b. woodside on the television 24 as president. but you also had chris rock as as presint in the movie head of terry crews in idiocracy. and also you at that point, you would see in jimmy smits in the wing that we had talked about, sort of there's evolving sort of cat warrior grouping. i saw of black men or men of color who who were sort of getting into the narrative of. and so i was looking at that and and and as i was looking at that, i we a little bit, of course, as one does wit

michael matheson as a cabinet secretary for health. in the same session opposition leader — the scottish conservatives douglas ross — challenged the first. it was not upon discovering something, he claimed this. he claimed £11,000 from the taxpayer. and oh i have asked from humza yousaf is, does he still agree, as he did last week, this was a legitimate expense? yes or no? does he agree that that £11,000, that costs run up purely on pulmonary business? yes or no? i have tried that three times and three times i have not had an answer and the fact is, the first minister should have immediately lodged an investigation into this matter. he should have demanded that michael matheson had with the device to be examined. instead, he is the last person in scotland still believing his health secretary's ridiculous claim. now, if the story changes to be about family or personal usage, that still will not cut it because it will nearly be a year after the claim and a week into this scandal. the evidence shows that michael matheson claimed £11,000 of taxpayer money when he knew it was not for parliamentary work. it was notjust a mistake, it was disho
