His first album is just out: it’s a poppy, folky, indie affair with hints of "The Lumineers" and Arcade fire, and a touch of the ethereal. He plays live and unplugged for us in the studio.

The adventure story with the softest of centres stars Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon – but it’s the two young boys whose story we follow that really steal the show. France 24 meets the director himself.
