Eve Jackson takes a look at the week's culture news, from "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig being named head of the Cannes Film Festival jury to exhibitions from one of Europe's most expensive painters, Scottish artist Peter Doig, at Paris's Musée d'Orsay and the most famous contemporary African painter of his generation, Congolese artist Cheri Samba, at Paris's Musée Maillol. We also discover Japan's modern-day hermits, the hikikomori, thanks to French photographer Pierre-Elie de Pibrac.
