Costello, Crash, Sweeney

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen talks with Elvis Costello about a career that stretches from "Allison" to opera. We ask Paul Haggis whether his film Crash, and other movies set in Los Angeles, have given rise to a new genre of storytelling. And we hear songs from the highly acclaimed and wildly innovative revival of "Sweeney Todd."
