My first glimpse of Claire Denis is of a slight, elegant figure dressed in white slipping out of a black limousine that fills the narrow street outside the hotel where our rendezvous is scheduled.For an instant, I feel as if I have been sucked into the menacing world of her latest film.I have just travelled to Paris to interview her, and have arrived early because I am anxious not to waste a minute of the 45 I have been granted to investigate the extraordinary career of a French director idolised by peers such as Barry Jenkins, Charlotte Wells, Andrea Arnold and Pedro Almodovar and whose work is a fixture of critics' lists of the best movies ever made.

The hot dog, if you think about it even a little bit, is a food ripe for further exploration.Few among us are quite sure what it contains.But despite its esoteric nature, it has wide appeal, so much so that there's a huge market for hot dogs for vegetarians (and for those of us who are turned off by the mystery of the standard meat tubes).
