For more than 50 years he has been conjuring up strange and fantastical worlds.

From the return of Paris's gentleman thief, to a period drama about science and cooking and a McCarthy-era gay romance thriller, it's a varied October in the world of TV series. TV critic Dheepthika Laurent reviews season 3 of "Lupin" with Omar Sy, "Lessons in Chemistry" starring Marvel actress Brie Larson, a gay romance set in the political circles of 1950s Washington entitled "Fellow Travelers" and reggaeton comedy "Neon", executive produced by Daddy Yankee.

From its very beginning, artificial intelligence has sparked debate in the world of culture. Since May, Hollywood has seen massive disruption because of the actors' and writers' strikes – one of their main concerns being about the impact of AI on their future. So is AI a menace to artists, or can it be a useful creative tool when properly regulated?

Based on David Grann's best-selling book investigating a wave of suspicious deaths among Oklahoma's Osage Nation, Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. FRANCE 24 film critic Lisa Nesselson says it's both sweeping and intimate, with actress Lily Gladstone subtly stealing the show alongside heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. We also look at the film adaptation of Vanessa Springora's chilling memoir "Consent", about falling into the clutches of older writer – and sexual predator – Gabriel Matzneff when she was just 14 years old. Plus the latest from German filmmaker Wim Wenders, who's also the guest of honour at this year's Lumière festival in Lyon.

Our guest is an acclaimed writer with a career spanning more than fifty years. In that time she's published hundreds of essays as well as twenty books, including the memoir "At Home in the World" – where she spoke of her relationship with "The Catcher in the Rye" author JD Salinger – and the novels "To Die For" and "Labor Day", both adapted for film. She's in Paris as her eleventh novel "The Bird Hotel”, centered at a hotel in a small Central American village, is being translated into French. Joyce Maynard speaks to Eve Jackson about the writing of her new novel during Covid at her home in Guatemala, being a published writer at 13 and baking cakes with Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet for the film adaptation of "Labor Day".

This week on Arts24's music show, we have the pleasure of welcoming Yilian Canizares, a classically trained Cuban-Swiss artist who has been embracing her Afro-Cuban roots and has just released her new album "Habana-Bahia". We also meet Spanish artist Antonio Lizana, who has given flamenco a jazz twist and is back with a new record entitled "Vishuddha". Through these new albums, both artists continue to push musical boundaries whilst exploring their own roots and spirituality. They popped by FRANCE 24 to speak to music critic Marjorie Hache.

Thandiwe Muriu discovered photography at 14, when she says her father put a camera in her hands and she never put it down. After breaking boundaries as Kenya's first female commercial photographer, she began developing her own personal work and burst onto the arts scene in 2020 with her "Camo" series: vibrant photos of women enrobed in colourful wax fabrics that are part portrait, part optical illusion. From her use of wax prints and everyday objects to her incorporation of African proverbs, her work is layered with meaning. In Paris for her first major solo show, Thandiwe Muriu spoke to Alison Sargent about her desire to embolden women, Kenyans and all those who have been historically devalued.
