Culture roundup: Asterix, the 'Rothko effect' & the enduring relevance of 'West Side Story'

He's a little Gallic warrior who's a big cultural phenomenon in France. The 40th volume of beloved comic Asterix was released this week. We hear from first-time Asterix author Fabcaro about what the comic books meant to him growing up, as well as fans talking about their favourite characters. We also visit a retrospective of Dutch fashion photographer Viviane Sassen, whose work straddles the worlds of fashion and fine art. Plus: the hypnotic magic of Mark Rothko's colour fields, and the enduring relevance of "West Side Story" as a touring production arrives in Paris.
