German photographer Juergen Teller gives Eve Jackson a tour of his Paris show "I need to live" at the Grand Palais' massive temporary space in Paris. In the exhibition he displays around 800 works, including photos of Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, Yves Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood, as well as more personal works of himself naked on his father's grave and images where his baby Iggy, named after Iggy Pop, recreates his most iconic photographs.

From a celebration of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album to a South African Christmas rom-com, "Yoh! Christmas", as well as "Berlin", the spinoff of the beloved Netflix series "La Casa de Papel" or "Money Heist", TV critic Dheepthika Laurent has plenty to share for our last series show of the year.

Based on Priscilla Presley's 1985 memoir "Elvis and Me", Sofia Coppola's biopic "Priscilla" tells the story of the woman who married one of the world's biggest stars, from their meeting on a US air base when she was just 14, to the birth of their daughter and eventual separation. FRANCE 24 film critic Lisa Nesselson says the movie invites us to consider Priscilla's perspective – and may leave you wondering whether Elvis was a perfect gentleman or a controlling jerk.

As he presents his first film "Under the Sky" in Paris and prepares to launch his fashion line, Japanese superstar Yoshiki speaks to Eve Jackson about being both a heavy metal rock god selling out arenas since the 1980s with his group X Japan, as well as a classical composer and concert pianist who brings the house down in historic venues like the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall. The Japanese polymath also shares how he turned his grief and anger following his father's suicide into creative energy which drives him on his artistic mission.

This week on arts24's music show we welcome Martha Da'ro, a Belgian artist with Angolan heritage who is not only a musician but also an actor with roles in films like "Black", "A Girl from Mogadishu" and more recently hit French TV series "Lupin". She's just released her first studio album "Philophobia", in which she deconstructs her emotions. She tells us more about the record, her influences and her plans for 2024. We also take a look at new releases from Burna Boy, Sum 41 and Alpha Blondy.

As his year of publicity madness draws to a close after winning the world's most prestigious prize for an English-language book in 2022 – the Booker – Sri Lankan writer Shehan Karunatilaka comes to FRANCE 24 to talk about the novel that made him famous. "The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida" is part murder mystery, part ghost story, part political satire and part gay love story. On his website he describes himself as a "Booker winner. Writer of punchlines, manifestos, and calls-to-action. Failed cricketer, failed rockstar, failed vegan. Observer of people, machines and markets". He's published two novels, including "Chinaman: The Legend of Pradeep Mathew", which won the 2012 Commonwealth Book Prize. He's in Paris as his second book "The Seven Moons" is being translated into French as well as coming out in another 25 countries. He speaks to Eve Jackson.

Eve Jackson takes a look at the week's culture news, from "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig being named head of the Cannes Film Festival jury to exhibitions from one of Europe's most expensive painters, Scottish artist Peter Doig, at Paris's Musée d'Orsay and the most famous contemporary African painter of his generation, Congolese artist Cheri Samba, at Paris's Musée Maillol. We also discover Japan's modern-day hermits, the hikikomori, thanks to French photographer Pierre-Elie de Pibrac.

After Gene Wilder in 1971 and Johnny Depp in 2005, Timothée Chalamet takes on the role of the world's most mysterious candy man in "Wonka", a sugar-sweet prequel about a young, idealistic Willy building his chocolate empire. FRANCE 24 film critic Lisa Nesselson tells us about the many cinematic incarnations of the original story by Roald Dahl. We also look at the latest instalment of "The Three Musketeers" starring Eva Green as a "delectably devious" villain, and "The Holdovers" starring Paul Giamatti as a disliked teacher forced to bond with one of his most obnoxious students. Plus, French production company Les Films du Losange marks its 60th anniversary.

Two of Paris's most loved stand-up comedians speak to Eve Jackson about "the Parisians" who have served as inspiration for their comedy shows for years – from their defying bluntness and honesty to their severe rudeness, their fashion style and their unmatchable culture. Frenchman Olivier Giraud has a show in English called "How to Become a Parisian in One Hour" which is about to hit the one million spectator mark. British comedian Paul Taylor has spent the past year on a world tour from Montreal to Monaco to Manchester with his bilingual show "Bisoubye x", selling out some iconic venues along the way. His final show will be at Paris's Zenith arena in January.

Jennifer Ben Brahim is joined in the studio by British singer-songwriter Ala.ni for a very festive edition of arts24. Ala.ni has just released the second instalment of her two-part Christmas EP "Christmas Vol.2", a mix of original tracks and covers such as Joni Mitchell’s "River". Her "dark Disney" vocals are reminiscent of Billie Holiday and Judy Garland, and she has worked with living legend Iggy Pop. We also look at some other big Christmas releases from American superstar Cher, R'n'B singer Brandy and the self-proclaimed "Prince of Christmas" Matt Rogers.
