brief clip there one david beckham. we better start and just say is he an eric cantana? he isn't. this is guy ritchie taking on the legend, if you are old enough to remember 19805 novelty records, king arthur daly i5 not all right. charlie is the young hero whose wicked unclejude law has seized power, leaving hero who5e wicked unclejude law has seized power, leaving him to grow up ducking and diving and he is keep ago low profile until david beckham no less tells him to and i quote, he 5ay5, no less tells him to and i quote, he says, put ten fingers around the blunt end of that sword and give it a tug. he does, blimey, wouldn't you know it, it comes out. next thing he i5 know it, it comes out. next thing he is having to be answerable because it turns out he might be the rightful heir, here is a clip. you've got the wrong man, sire. i was born in a brothel on a bridge in londinium. the sword can only be drawn by uther pendragon or his direct heir. you felt it, didn't you? the power.

it's what pulled you out. you just don't know how to control it. so what happens now? you know what happens now. you're quickly becoming a legend. there's a surprise from guy ritchie that the baddy i5 well—spoken and po5h and jude law. that the baddy i5 well—spoken and posh and jude law. here is the weird thing. arthurian legend is rich and magical, i have rarely seen a film lacking in magic. stuff happen5, big snakes, swords, huge cgi and you think this is dull. the — there are time5 think this is dull. the — there are times it looks like outtakes from a ramstein video. it's just reminding me of other franchi5e5 i would be

rather be watching. i quite like... i think he did a terrificjob with sherlock holmes, he took a small element of the text about fighting and turned it into something that made the movie action—packed. the problem with this is itju5t look5 like a bunch of c61 effects thrown together around the ropiest of scripts with the broadest of performances, the whole film, nudging and winking at the audience all the way through. i really ended up all the way through. i really ended up thinking, where is all the way through. i really ended up thinking, where i5john boorman when you need him. it's so heavy on its feet. it's the fault of the script and the execution of the 5tory. script and the execution of the story. it's a thudding sword and sorcery story. it's a thudding sword and 5orcery film which i spent large portion5 thinking why am i not excited by this, and not laughing at thejokes? excited by this, and not laughing at the jokes? why am excited by this, and not laughing at thejokes? why am i not thrilled by thejokes? why am i not thrilled by the set pieces and why are there so many mythical beast5 that look like someone many mythical beast5 that look like 5omeone knocked them up on a home computer? it's really not good. there is nothing more to say. there isn't! we will move along. actually

a change of gear. total change. inver5ion, a story about everyday life in tehran but the issues facing a young woman. absolutely. this has a young woman. absolutely. this has a fantastic performance, a young woman in polluted tehran. her mother i5 woman in polluted tehran. her mother is suffering re5piretory failure. you have to move with her out of the city, what have you to lose? however she has a full life. she works in a shop she runs. and employs a number of women. she has ambitions of a life for herself. the film is about the way in which a character is caught between what society decides and family demands of them and what they want for themselves. it's a very, very low—key film. to the point that i read reviews that said it's a film that never catches fire, it's a film that never catches fire, it never takes off. i disagree. i was really moved by it. the reason i was really moved by it. the reason i was is because i believed in these characters. it's a sort of neo—realist, handheld style, long

lens so we sue her through traffic and the constant hubbub of society. there is no music other than the sound of phones ringing. you really believe in her life and you come to absolutely side with her and her dreams of independence and i found it very, very moving. some people have said too low—key for them. i just found it convincing. i thought it was a film about people i believed in and cared about with a fantastic central performance and very well moderated. a country we still know relativelily little about, did we learn more? it's producing extraordinary cinema. and more and more we are seeing that this demonstration that films made with some limited resources to some extent with some limited resources to some exte nt ca n with some limited resources to some extent can be much greater can va nses than a extent can be much greater can vanses than a film like arthur daly is all right, king arthur, in which endless cgi and nothing going on. we have done that! in that case, shall we move to... colossal. this looks,

it's anne hathaway, a lot of people love her and a monster, godzilla—like creature and they're linked. this has been described as rachel getting married versus godzilla. anne hathaway has fallen into alcohol hitch and her life has fallen apart. her boyfriend kicks her out, she goes back to her home town and takes up in her parents' empty house and meets up with jason sudeikis who runs the local bar. that means more drinking. 0ne morning she turns on the television and realises a monster has attacked seoul. she thinks there is a connection between that and her. meanwhile, her life continues normally. here is a clip. when they started downsizing i was the first to go. oh, you jerk, you already knew. yes, i'm sorry. ah, what?

why didn't you tell me? why are you letting me like... my past. i didn't want you to think i was creepy, like i'm some sort of stalker. well, it's too late for that. yeah. so have you been following me all these years? of course i have. somebody actually made it out of here and did something special for once. hell, look what had to happen for things to get interesting around here. giants attacking south korea. no, i mean you. and that relationship is important. yeah, that's a lovely indication of the way in which the movie is juggfing the way in which the movie is juggling two different things. this us indie picture rom—com that's shaping up. on the other hand this monster movie playing out far away. yet, she comes to believe somehow she is controlling the monster or there is a link between them. the film becomes a metaphorfor the there is a link between them. the film becomes a metaphor for the way

in which addiction and self—destruction causes harm that we are totally oblivious to. it's a really, really strange concept that works surprisingly well. i came out and somebody said that fell apart, didn't it? i said, yes, and somebody said that fell apart, didn't it? isaid, yes, but and somebody said that fell apart, didn't it? i said, yes, but isn't it fascinating how long it didn't fall apart. for how long it managed to keep this idea that a story about somebody‘s small scale personal problems may be playing out in some horrible grand—style somewhere far, and it becomes a film about addiction and about alcoholism and about abusive relationships, about spectatorship and the way in which we watch things on rolling news. this is a great bit. this is where they realise something is up. she's dancing in the park and there is the monster doing exactly the same. expect all the way through the film is holding this idea that maybe this is holding this idea that maybe this is just is holding this idea that maybe this isjust a is holding this idea that maybe this is just a paranoid is holding this idea that maybe this isjust a paranoid delusion. what a strange idea. i think what the writer and director manages to do is, he wrote this originally as a low budget spanish language film to which anne hathaway became attached and it opened it up to a wider

audience. the problem — people got baffled and walked out. however, if you want something that's strange and adventurous isn't and not scared to fail this is a really interesting, it's far from to fail this is a really interesting, it's farfrom perfect, there are place it is starts to fall apart, but for a good two thirds it is smart, intelligent, funny, and somehow that thing about massive monsters and tiny small scale problems, there is a connection and the met afor works surprisingly well. on the positive side anne hathaway fans may like monster fans and monster fans may fall hathaway fans may like monster fans and monsterfans may fall in hathaway fans may like monster fans and monster fans may fall in love with anne hathaway. to be honest, i am not sure it's going to change attitudes. but it's an adventurous and hard to market film but i liked it. ok. let's move on to best out. yeah. the levelling. this is... wonderful is what sentence. somerset

levels after the floods and an emotional story. it is, it's about family secrets, fantastic performances. brilliantly directed by hope dickson leach. it's her first feature film. it is, weirdly something like ten years ago she was named as a rising star by screen international, like a decade ago. i think she's really made good on the promise of short films. it's a rich emotionally powerful film, superb sound design. great score. and again very, very low—key but very powerful. i really liked it. david trougen to plays her father. he does and between them they investigate family secrets that have been buried but refuse to stay buried. best dvd. mulholland drive. yeah, it's coming to blu—ray overseen by david lynch. iflagged this to blu—ray overseen by david lynch. i flagged this up as you probably know, twin pea ks i flagged this up as you probably know, twin peaks is coming back. i

a lwa ys know, twin peaks is coming back. i always found david lynch a fascinating director. this was wroted, there was a bbc poll of something like best films of the 20th century. this came out on top. it started life as a tv pilot and didn't start as a film. it is a david lynch classic. it's lovely to haveitin david lynch classic. it's lovely to have it in a beautiful transfer and to revisit it. i don't think it's lynch's best film but all of lynch's back catalogue is best having in the best possible format. we have had a mixed bag. we have, yes. the only thing i take away is see whatever you want, but king arthur... we are there. we got the message. did i make that clear? always good to see you. and you. thanks, mark. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/mark kermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching, goodbye. good evening. we have had some rain

around today, for some it's been heavy welcome rain. after a dry april and start to may. there has also been sunshine, so contrasting pictures from weather watchers. this was somerset earlier, heavy downpours across parts of somerset. north and east across the uk a lot more cloud and that's been producing rain across eastern england, eastern scotla nd rain across eastern england, eastern scotland too. here is the scene in east lea ke earlier, scotland too. here is the scene in east leake earlier, a lot of cloud there and outbreaks of rain too. through the rest of this evening we keep heavy and thundery showers father a time. to the north—east that area of rain makes its way northwards. wet weather arriving across much of scotland tonight. elsewhere, as the showers fade away and skies clear, it will be a fresh start to saturday morning but for

many of us sunshine to start the day off. a few showers across northern ireland from the word go. for scotla nd ireland from the word go. for scotland there will be a cloud and rain particularly in the north and the east, south—west scotland faring better with brighter skies. a few patchy outbreaks of rain across parts of the north—east of england and then heading our way south we are into sunshine and scattered showers, particularly across wales and the south—west of england where they could be heavy even during the morning. central and eastern parts of england largely dry first thing. a5 things warm up we start to see the showers bubbling up producing hit and miss showers almost anywhere through the day tomorrow. probably east anglia and the far south—east likely to see a good deal of dry weather but the showers could be heavy, potentially thundery. in between any showers 14—18 for most of us, still rain across scotland but that should clear to the north through the day on sunday. sunday, a much better day. fewer showers around and it will feel warmer too, up around and it will feel warmer too, up to around 20 or so. a chance of catching some outbreaks of rain

across northern ireland and scotland. through the weekend, saturday heavy showers and thunder storms and sunshine in between. sunday, most of the showers fading. certainly the dryer day of the weekend for most places and it will feel warmer too. the new week, monday, low pressure tries to push into the north—west of the uk. high pressure sitting out to the east. still some showers around on monday across parts of northern ireland, scotland, wales too. further east, fewer showers and it will feel warmer too. temperatures by monday up warmer too. temperatures by monday up around about 22. more details on the weather for the week ahead can be found on our website.
