Tom Hanks talks about A Hologram For The King, why America is still great, and Hollywood's relationship with China. He reveals the advice he was given about what you need to have a hit film in the People's Republic.

Director Pablo Larrain discusses The Club, his controversial drama set in a safe house for disgraced priests in Chile and the reaction of the Catholic church to the film.

Film reviewer Tim Robey and film buyer Clare Binns assess the hits and misses of this year's Cannes festival, including Ken Loach's first movie since he announced his retirement two years ago.
