coppola's remake of the don siegel film from 1971. we have cars 3, the animated sequel, more cars. and war for the planet of the apes, the ongoing saga continues. sofia coppola. yes, the point is, this is based on a novel by thomas cullinan that was filmed before by don siegel in 1971, a famous adaptation. cult movie. in the civil wara adaptation. cult movie. in the civil war a wounded soldier is found in the woods by a young girl from a place for young ladies, and he is brought back, he is very badly wounded. and his presence immediately starts to cause a ke rfuffle, immediately starts to cause a kerfuffle, not only because he is an enemy soldier, but also because he isa man. enemy soldier, but also because he is a man. he is a clip. —— here. miss martha!

marie, come with me. help, miss martha. miss martha! amy! help! what happened? are you all right? how did he get here? he was all alone in the woods. i couldn't leave him there to die. you know you're not supposed to go that far. is he dead? no, not yet. quick, we need to move him to the porch. so what happens, because of what she calls christian charity they bring him into the house. they look after him into the house. they look after him and he gets better and immediately he starts to get into everyone's confidences and he is flirting and he sees what each character wa nts flirting and he sees what each character wants and needs. the film appears to be one kind of film, but who is the beguiled, that's the question. sofia coppola said when

she saw the original, she wanted to tell the story from the point of view of the women's characters, and you could say the film and the novel which have multiple narrators voices aren't necessarily just which have multiple narrators voices aren't necessarilyjust on females —— just from the male character point of view. but this changes the way in which the dynamic between their relationships works and is beautifully photographed but almost like a beautifully photographed but almost likeafairy beautifully photographed but almost like a fairy tale. it is very serial, it is a beautiful looking film. that fairy tale quality is partly deliberate but also what it does, this is set in the civil war but it might as well not become the civil war is very distant. in the don siegel version we have shots of the battlefield and flashbacks but none of that here, it is just in the distance. in the novel and the don siegel version there is a character who has been written out of this, sofia coppola said because she did

not want to ever lies the subject and also because that is not what the story is about —— trivialise for top i am fond of the don siegel version, it is expectation with some very wall seems, but i like it. this version takes it in a given direction, a very different tone. it isa direction, a very different tone. it is a valid interpretation —— different tone. is it worth revisiting? it is worth it because it is such a different film, and i actually prefer the don siegel version but i'm happy... the two versions can coexist because they are such different films, and personally, i grew up loving 70s exploitation cinema and i will a lwa ys exploitation cinema and i will always have a fondness for the original, but the performances are very good, nicole kidman is very nuanced and colin farrell is terrific. he has the sly look in his eye, you think he's in control but maybe he isn't. i would encourage

people to see this but also the don siegel version which is still a very fine film. your next choice could not be more different. the problem is, it is very samey, it is cars 3, and you know cars and cars 2, there are some ca i’s know cars and cars 2, there are some cars on it. i remember seeing the first one, i remember loving the designs, i like the landscapes, but the problem here, the narrative, we have been around this track before, it feels very threadbare. the central character lightning mcqueen has got to go back to school to learn about new ways of winning a race in the process, is trainer has got to learn about being more than a trainer. there are individual set pieces which are good and the animation is terrific, and it comes with a short film at the beginning, and the little short film is really sweet and smart, about bullying and

how bullying comes from being hurt yourself and it is really short and compact and everything that is smart about that little short film is what is wrong with cars. overall it feels very baggy. is it about selling merchandise? if we start going down that road, we can wipe out most mainstream cinema, to be honest. it is not fair to say that about this film, but as every mainstream franchise has got that. i wouldn't mind that if the film felt more original, but it felt like i had seen that before. right now we have got war for the planet of the apes. i'm in the dark hair. -- planet of the apes. i'm in the dark hair. —— here. planet of the apes. i'm in the dark hair. -- here. the original series of the planet of the ex was great, forget about the tim burton remake, but now we have got this with performance caption —— the original series of the planet of the apes. he

isa series of the planet of the apes. he is a clip. look at your eyes. almost human. how did you know i was here? i was told you were coming. that more soldiers from the north would be joining you here. joining me? to finish us off. for good. who told you that? 0k. let's go. what i like about this, the performance capture work is so great. andy serkis specialises in this, he is remarkable. his relationship with performance ca ptu re relationship with performance capture goes back to lord of the rings and working with peterjackson and king kong and now this. what is

extraordinary, this evolution has happened in a fairly short period of time, i remember watching the tim burton planet of the apes and thought they had developed a prosthetic to allow one of their lips to move, but now they are mapped onto a performance. i think the story is good, very dark, and there is a lot of apocalypse now in there, which there also was in skull island, but i think the way of the performance capture, you think, this is astonishing. i'm actually watching these characters, and i'm not actually concentrating on how well rendered they are. i think andy serkis's work is brilliant, and there has been talk about whether he will get an oscar—nominated and i think it is long overdue. what i like about this, as someone who is a die—hard planet of the apes fan, i have always said everything i have learned about politics i learned from planet of the apes and i'm not joking. now i do have from planet of the apes and i'm not joking. now! do have to from planet of the apes and i'm not joking. now i do have to watch it. this has taken the series and then

it is dramatic. the synthesis of performance and technology is really really well ca ptu red performance and technology is really really well captured in this film. clever. interesting for the what is best out? it comes at night, i still think is terrific, some people think this might be a slam bang horror movie, but it is not that, and i asked you to go and see this, but you didn't? i have had a busy week. you have got to go and see this, it isa you have got to go and see this, it is a creepy film, it is a really creepy film, family holed up in this house in the woods and there is something out there. i really like it and something out there. i really like itandi something out there. i really like it and i think you will admire it. i'm a bit chicken about that kind of think about i am really desperate to see your dvd. this is a great film, the levelling, one of the best debut films i've seen in a long time, set in the somerset levels after the

flood. there is a estranged father and daughter, on the farm but he owns, that is failing, they are trying to find their relationship again, it is a very tactile film, you can feel the earth and the history, and all of that stuff bubbling up from the ground. i thought it was terrific, great soundtrack, beautiful use of incidental music. her debut feature film? she was named as a rising star many years ago, all these newspapers saying this, and it took a long time to get this made, but boy was it worth it. if you can make a film that good, take as long as you want. excellent. mark, as ever, thanks for joining us. 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 iplayer. that is it for this week. enjoy your

northern ireland. plenty of cloud in the west. northern england, outbreaks of rain spreading east, into wales and the midlands. but for much of southern england, ryan brierley with early sunshine, and the cloud will increase —— fairly bright. we will takes on rain across the uk, patchy in nature, and a few flashes in southern in them. —— southern england. the west stays mainly cloudy, with hill fog around and patchy rain, and then the rain appearing in south—west scotland and northern ireland and into the evening with a freshening breeze. it is warm and humid tomorrow, rain pushing into northern england as it clears away from scotland and northern ireland and this is how it is shaping up for finals weekend at wimbledon. maybe some rain on

saturday, and sunday, a good deal of cloud around, and there could still bea cloud around, and there could still be a bit of patchy light rain. to the north of that on sunday it is a sunny picture, scotland, northern ireland, northern inman, a fresher feel but sunny spells —— northern england. figure cloud further south, it is warm and humid. looking at the start of next week high pressure building across the uk, promising warm weather with a fair amount of sunshine, very pleasant weather to come monday and tuesday and it will become a bit more humid and thunderstorms around, as we end the day on tuesday into tuesday night. that is looking ahead to next week. many arejust that is looking ahead to next week. many are just bothered about the weekend and the forecast is online. ayr.
