Stoppard, Allende, Aronofsky

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen talks with novelist Isabel Allende about a sweeping feminist movement in Chilean politics, and her own new novel Ines of My Soul. Tom Stoppard tells Kurt about his massive new play set in pre-Revolutionary Russia, The Coast of Utopia. We tag along with a bus load of poets on a grueling cross-country tour. And indy-film director Darren Aronofsky explains why he’s left Brooklyn behind in favor the Mayan Empire and outer space in his new film The Fountain.
