Francine Stock talks to Oscar winning film director Danny Boyle about a lifetime spent making films, including his latest "Trance", a noirish art heist starring James McAvoy and Rosario Dawson, in which a fine art auctioneer (McAvoy) joins forces with a hypnotherapist (Dawson) to recover a lost painting. It's a psychological crime drama, a glossier 21 st century take on a theme he's visited before in his work - a trio of characters locked in a hell of their own making.
