Wall-E and the EIFF
Only the animation genius of Pixar could make us fall for such an unlikely screen hero as Wall-E. A lovesick robot, he is the star of one of the most hotly anticipated movies at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. We also preview this year's documentary strand and talk to the people behind The Visitor and Man on Wire, the amazing true story of Philippe Petit's seemingly impossible guest to walk a tightrope between the Twin Towers. Plus reviews of the films you'd be a fool to miss. See page 22.
Features 18 Radiohead
Famously regarded as the most miserable men in rock, Radiohead have always insisted on doing things on their own terms. Drummer Phil Selway talks to Mark Robertson about image, self-indulgence and learning to take a more playful approach to life and music.
