Lucian Freud, Stephen Daldry, RIBA Gold Medal
Mark Lawson and Lionel Shriver review Lucian Freud's portraits; director Stephen Daldry on why his latest film has divided the critics in America; and architect Herman Hertzberger.
With Mark Lawson
Novelist Lionel Shriver reviews a major retrospective of Lucian Freud's work at the National Portrait Gallery, including his final, unfinished portrait, which is on show for the first time.
Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger believes passionately that architecture can help bring people together. The Royal Institute of British Architects has just awarded him the 2012 Royal Gold Medal, given in recognition of a lifetime's work. He tells Mark why he thinks a recession is good for architects.
Stephen Daldry made history when he received a best director Oscar nomination for his first three films - Billy Elliot, The Hours and The Reader. His latest film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close deals with loss and grief in the aftermath of 9/11. He reflects on why it has divided critics.
