Francois Ozon on By The Grace Of God.

With Antonia Quirke

By The Grace Of God director Francois Ozon reveals how he had to make the film under a different name so that the Catholic Church wouldn't know that he was secretly making an expose of historical child abuse by French priests.

Writer Ray Connolly talks about his friendship with The Beatles and how it informed his two movies about the music business, That'll Be The Day and Stardust. And how he got into a fist fight with Keith Moon.

Neil Brand reveals how Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells was the third choice for the soundtrack of The Exorcist, and the reasons why director William Friedkin dismissed his first two composers.
