We take a look at a French-language animated feature which draws a sober portrait of life in the Afghan capital in 1998; film critic Lisa Nesselson tells us why "The Swallows of Kabul" is an important meditation on freedom. Also, Isabelle Huppert heads up an impressive cast in Ira Sachs’s latest film "Frankie" but the Franco-Portuguese production fails to impress some critics, who questioned its place in the Cannes festival line-up.
