what is interesting is the more content we put online, on the web, the more people who come through our doors here at the v&a. they want the original? i think there's something about the human condition, that despite seeing it on the screen, they want to see the for themselves. i have a special gift for you. meanwhile, in the sculpture gallery, jonathan was back. how long did this take? it took about six hours to print. cost? about 30p. 30p, there is the future. remarkable! the headlines on bbc news: the brexit negotiations look set to move onto the next stage after both sides reached a deal on the terms of the uk's departure. violence has flared between israeli forces and palestinians protesting at president trump's recognition ofjerusalem as israel's capital.

to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. what have you been watching, mark? we have stronger, which is a film about the boston bombing survivorjeff bowman. human flow, a very affecting documentary by ai weiwei. and the dinner. steve coogan and richard gere together at last. we can discuss that. stronger, i mean, people will remember so vividly the boston marathon bombing and this is very much about the aftermath. so jake gyllenhaal as a jeff bowman, who was a young bostonian who was there at the finishing line and was involved in the blast and lost both his legs. and having survived the bombing then had to rebuild his life both physically and indeed, mentally. and deal with the fact he'd suddenly become right at the centre of the spotlight, which saw him in many ways as the embodiment of the boston strong mantra.

here's a clip. when you're ready, scooch ahead before you stand up. yeah. 0k. 0k, scooch ahead. up, hips back. chest up. chest up, chest up. good, good, 0k? good. it's a little sore. it's like needles on my legs. you look awesome. it looks amazing. keep going. i can't, i can't. good job, good job.

now the story's extraordinarily, not least because when he wakes up in hospital the first thing he does is say, i saw the bombers. he wants to pass on that information. but what the film is really, really interested in is the way in which his struggle to recover works. and also his relationship with his originally on— off girlfriend and his mother and his family. you saw miranda richardson as his mother, who is really, really terrific. and i think what central to it is the film doesn't play him as a hero, it plays him as somebody who is in a position, you know, which they had nothing to do with. and suddenly find themselves in the centre of this great personal struggle and suddenly find themselves the centre of all this media attention. and if you know, on the one hand doing this very, very heroic thing, but on the other hand finding it very hard to cope with that attention. what i like about the film is that it doesn't try and paint two dimensional pictures.

he has fractious relationships with his family, with his girlfriend, he goes through different phases. i think what happens with the movie is it involves you in the story in a way that you genuinely believe that what you're seeing is a realistic portrayal. it's not exploitative, it's melodramatic. i think it's based on a book he wrote. absolutely. the details are true. we've seen enough hollywood movies which are doing triumph over adversity, that do so in a way that is kind of saccharine and very sentimental and relies very heavily on sentimentality and melodrama. i found this very moving. there are moments that make you cry, moments that make you laugh. the most important thing was it seemed honest it seemed truthful. it was done in a way that is low—key enough to never feel like what it was doing was exploiting the situation at all. i was surprisingly moved by it. it doesn't change the format of film, it doesn't do anything major to the structure, the kind of story we've seen before. but it plays it well and played it in a heartfelt way. it feels like an honest

endeavour that was moving and affecting. the ai weiwei film, your second choice. human flow. sadly i haven't seen it yet. i can only assume that it is unbelievably, unbearably moving. it is very moving. ai weiwei is a conceptual artist, this is about the current refugee crisis and the humanitarian disaster unfolding around the world. it's a portrait of global displacement, different people forced to move from their homes for horrific reasons. shot in 25 countries. 20 countries, 25 film crews. some of the footage is hand—held. some of it, these extraordinary aerial shots, drone shots, of huge numbers of people moving through incredibly hostile terrain, refugee camps. we do get interviews, we do get discussions, but the most affecting stuff is this sort of image of humanity on the move, and the persistence of barriers and borders and boundaries and people rather than receiving welcome facing a wall. it is a film that has

a cumulative impact over the course of the movie you do become overwhelmed by the scope of this. but i think, again, it's a very interesting piece of film—making because it is using film to tell the story in a way which is, you know, specifically visual. we do get discussions of these terrifying subject as the film plays out. the stuff that works less well is when we see ai weiwei talking to some of the refugees, that the stuff that actually, we enough, has less impact than when you see the scope of what the film is depicting, it's called human flow. 0k. the dinner. yes. what did you think? well... hmm. 0k. it's the latest from oren moverman, and it's adapted from a novel. it is the story of the hidden

violence of the bourgeoisie. it's also one of those things that asks the question, what would you do to protect a loved one? in upstate new york two chalk and cheese brothers, played by steve coogan and richard gere, you couldn't get more chalk and cheese. and their respective partners, rebecca hall and laura linney. they meet in an upmarket restaurant. coogan‘s character is tetchy and awkward and difficult. richard gere is a smooth politician. but there is a terrible family secret they have to discuss. here is a clip. this is long overdue. what were you talking about? we were just enjoying one of those odd pauses, as they say. not talking about anything. well we're going to talk tonight. put it all on the table. there's a lot going on. are you 0k? don't. perhaps there's a better table. it's really, it's all right, we're fine here. actually, actually, the other room i think is better. as private as a fish tank. there's something wrong, let me check, just a second. i actually agree. i'm not moving. what's interesting about this is this

discussion they're not having, that they move towards having, plays out over the courses of this ridiculously elaborate dinner. each course is, you know, described by the maitre d' in incredible terms. at the centre of the discussion is this hidden secret about something which has happened with their children. and i think the film has got really good performances. great cast, really good ensemble cast. oren moverman got a very good performance out of richard gere previously in a film in which richard gere is playing a homeless man. actually, ai weiwei got a really good performance out of him. the problem with the film to some extent is it probably two courses too long, it's two hours and it should be 89 minutes. when we at the table, when that kind of... the unspoken arguments are sort of broiling and seething away i think it works rather well. it then has this kind of flashback structure in which it moves back to events in the past and we see things unfolding from lots of different perspectives. to me, that works slightly less well. i'm some people have really taken against the movie. one of the reasons is, they're pretty claustrophobic company.

they're not people you want to spend that much time in their company because... steve coogan‘s character is so difficult, so awkward. richard gere‘s character seems to be so smooth and so smarmy. yet during the course of the drama it does play with our expectations of how each character's motivations will fall. it's flawed, no question about it, and it is at least two courses too long, but in the middle of it there is a main course which is well worth trying. i think i absolutely killed the food metaphor stone dead now. we've done it but we knew what you meant by it. lets not do it again. i'm so delighted you have chosen this, because it encouraged me to see it again, a film i haven't seen probably since i was at university. a matter of life and death. an absolute delight. one of the greatest movies ever made. it made immediately in the aftermath of the war, the ministry of information said to powell and pressburger, could you please make a film that would encourage the brits and the americans to like each other more.

and they came up with a matter of life and death, which ends up being a story about this world and the next. it's just been rereleased in a 4k print. it's so moving. it starts with david niven as a doomed airman, you know, falling in love with somebodyjust on a radio. then he evades death because the emissary from the other world coming to get him gets lost in the fog of the channel. it's a film that plays out you can either read it as a psychological drama or read it as another wordly drama, or you can just read it as a comedian, some slightly metaphysical romance. it's funny and smart and looks brilliant. extraordinary cinematography. how many times have you seen it? i think this was only my second. but you, you know, effectively forced me to watch it again this week and i just thought, some of the script is wonderful. it's just... it is, i hate to say this, the kind of film theyjust don't make any more. yet it's incredibly future looking. it does that brilliant thing of converting the wizard of oz, everything down on earth is in technicolor, everything

in the other world is in black and white, which inverts what you would actually expect. it's one of the greatest movies ever made. if not, arguably, the greatest movie ever made. and it's out again. from 1946. fantastic. very quick thought about dvd. atomic blonde. i mean basically this is a sort of, you know, and adaptation of the graphic novel coldest city. it's a tale of spies and neon. charlize theron is having an absolute ball in it. it doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's very stylish and it's very entertaining. it could be, i think there is a place for, you know, the stylish, stylishly empty film, and this is it. i enjoyed it very much, though it's probably a guilty pleasure. i love that, stylishly empty. marvellous. what a way to end. thank you very much, mark, see you again next week. plenty to discuss this week, as we've just proved. enjoy your cinema viewing this week. see you next time. bye bye. stores across some parts of the country, more to come over the next couple of days. seems like there's not everywhere, some of us had clear

blue skies. this is the radar showing where it's been snowing, white bits. wales, northern ireland, parts of scotland. for so many of us a completely dry, clear sort of day, seems like this. very cold of course, above freezing in many areas. “— course, above freezing in many areas. —— barely above. snow continues to fall over wales, northern ireland, north of scotland, where the wind is blowing hard. for many of us, clear skies. city centre temperatures right in the middle of town, outside town in rural areas, as low as minus eight degrees. tomorrow i think maybe one or two areas that haven't seen the snow may get a bit of snow. i suspect around merseyside, maybe liverpool, manchester could get snow. snow showers will continue across northern part of scotland. for many of usa northern part of scotland. for many of us a cold sort of day. saturday night into sunday, temperatures

dropped like a stone, a fresh weather front comes off the atlantic, happens. snow, snow, loads of snow falling across parts of the midlands. i say loads... of snow falling across parts of the midlands. isay loads... it of snow falling across parts of the midlands. i say loads... it could of snow falling across parts of the midlands. isay loads... it could be disruptive snow, but it could be further north or south. the thinking is the south of the country will be too mild. here instead we'll get very strong winds. a big temperature contrast, zero in the midlands but closer to 10 degrees for example in plymouth. no snow expected in the south but in the north the snow fizzling away. as we go through the course of sunday night into monday, snowy low pulls away. another area of low pressure, a storm that will affect france. there is a chance that through monday there could be snow affecting southern and central parts of the uk. it could be transient snow, probably eventually turning to rain. a lot happening

over the next few days, make sure you stay tuned to the weather. britain and the eu have struck a last—minute deal, which means brexit talks can move onto the next phase. getting to this point has required give and take on both sides, and i believe thejoint report being published is in the best interests of the whole of the uk. i believe we have now made the breakthrough we needed. today's result is, of course, a compromise. issues over the irish border, the divorce bill and citizens rights are addressed in the agreement, but around key points, questioned remain. clashes between palestinians and israeli security forces clash.
