Modigliani, Costa Book Awards shortlists, John Lithgow
The announcement of the Costa Book Awards shortlists, actor John Lithgow who stars in Daddy's 成人快手 2, and a review of the new exhibition by Amedeo Modigliani at Tate Modern.
A new Modigliani exhibition at Tate Modern shows the most extensive display of the Italian Jewish painter and sculptor's work yet seen in the UK, including 12 of his famous nudes. Sarah Crompton reviews.
Front Row reveals this year's Costa Book Awards shortlists. Critics Alex Clark and Toby Lichtig comment on the writers chosen in the five categories: novel, first novel, poetry, biography and children's fiction. The overall prize-winner will be announced on Front Row on 30 January 2018.
Actor John Lithgow discusses his latest film Daddy's 成人快手 2, and talks more broadly about his wide-ranging career and why he's as happy playing an alien as he is a serial killer or Winston Churchill.
