He may have made a name for himself in light-hearted British rom-coms like “Four Weddings and a Funeral”, “About a Boy” and “Notting Hill”, but Hugh Grant has undergone a startling transformation over the last decade, rebranding himself as a character actor in darker roles. His latest outing in “Heretic” is certainly in that vein; FRANCE 24’s culture editor Eve Jackson caught up with him at the film’s Paris premiere, where he told her why playing the baddie is more fun. We also check out a new version of blockbuster musical “Les Misérables” as the production returns to the stage in Paris after more than 30 years, while photography exhibition “No Woman’s Land” brings us the portraits and stories of the women living under what the UN has called “gender apartheid” since the Taliban came back to power in 2021.
