In this edition of arts24, we explore a major retrospective in Paris dedicated to legendary French photographer Robert Doisneau, best known for his iconic image "Le Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville" ("The Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville"). The exhibition celebrates his poetic vision and timeless moments captured on film.

Also in the spotlight: "The Art of the Brick", the global LEGO phenomenon by American artist Nathan Sawaya, arrives in Bordeaux after captivating audiences in New York, London and Shanghai. The imaginative sculptures bring a new dimension to the world's most famous building blocks.

Plus, the Guardian newspaper's chief film critic Peter Bradshaw joins Eve Jackson to discuss his new short story collection "The Body in the Mobile Library and Other Stories". Known for his razor-sharp wit and literary flair, Bradshaw delves into surreal tales: from a playwright's pact with Satan to a politician's daughter laundering money in Benin. He also shares his top picks for this year's Cannes Film Festival.
