and potato peel pie society, which does exactly what it says on the tin. what are you starting with? let's start with every day, adapted from a levithan adapted from a ya novel. basically it is a teen love story in which one of the characters, known as a, moves from body to body. every day, they wake up they are a different person. our central character, rhiannon , finds herself essentially falling love with somebody who every time she sees them, is a different person. it sounds like an unworkable conceit. and yet somehow, and against all expectations, it works rather well. here's a clip. why are you doing this? the day we met, i felt something i never felt before. i don't want to let that go. about that day, how is it ok what you did? i let you kiss me because i thought you were just in. i let you kiss me because i thought you were justin.

i told you something incredibly personal because i thought you werejustin. you never would have understood. i was in his mind, rhiannon, i know him. you're serious? i know him better than you do. is my boyfriend. you know you shouldn't be with him. who should i be with, then, you? i mean, off the top of my head, that's an option. this isn't funny, a. this is so weird. i mean, today you're... not everyone's body aligns with their mind. but i'm not asking you to give vic a chance, rhiannon, i'm asking you to give me a chance. that line, that not everybody‘s body aligns with their mind, is somehow sums up the central thesis of the film itself. i went to see it, having not seen any of the trailers and not knowing anything about it at all. at the very beginning, i had five minutes of thinking, hang on, what's going on? where are we? what i thought worked well about it was, actually, it explained itself very clearly. i started to believe in the characters, although the conceit itself is unusual and supernatural. i thought the film had a really good heart. it was a film about the polymorphous perversity of love, and the way in which you fall in love with a person, and the essence of who that person is.

it reminded me of a number of different things. at one point they start talking about demonic possession and it reminded me of thejohn wyndham novel, chocky. which i read when i was young, and i really, really liked it. it was a film recently, a swedish film, called girls lost, which was a sort of body swap movie. and then there was a japanese animator that and then there was a japanese anime that we reviewed here on the show per year or so ago called your name. which was about a boy and a girl separated by distance and time, who swap bodies and start experiencing life from each other‘s perspective. all of those things came to mind in the middle of this, which is also working as a completely functional teen romance. it was jolly, it was fun, it had a kind of sense of adventure. i was really impressed by how well it pulled off this quite complicated conceit. because it's sounding complicated, i'll be quite honest with you. is it aimed at adolescence? it's absolutely a ya film. and partly when i was watching at the beginning i thought, ok, i'm

not going to engage with this because obviously i'm a 58 old man whatever it is, i'm not the target audience. but the thing about it is, it's made well. it's made in a way that tells a story in a way that is perfectly understandable. and entertaining. and also, as i said, its heart is in the right place. the central sort of message of the film is really interesting. it manages to pull off that weird supernatural conceit in a way that makes you think, ok, i buy this. the real trick of this kind of movie is to make you think, ok, that is a really complicated and vaguely absurd idea, but it's ok, i don't mind, i'll go with it. i did go with it and it works surprisingly well. i went in knowing nothing about it at all. i was confused for about five minutes and then i was completely there. i really enjoyed it and i was really surprised, really pleasantly surprised. that's always a good thing. now the return of a great film—maker and the wonderful juliette binoche. in let the sunshine in, which is a mistranslation of the original french title.

so claire denis, who has an extraordinary career as a film—maker, this is a bit of an oddity. juliette binoche plays somebody who is an artist who is discontent, who is single, who is pinballing between a series of unfulfilling relationships. the structure of the film, though it is broadly linear, actually ends up being like a collage, a series of snapshots, a series of vignettes from a life. the good thing about it is that you get the sense from juliette binoche‘s character that she is out of kilter, that she is out of sorts. there is something about the way in which she wears the clothes that she wears, makes it feel like she's playing a role. she's a character who is playing a role it's done really well. she is a brilliant performer. so much of what that performance is about is the physicality. everything about the way she stands, the way she walks, it tells you she is performing another role. the odd thing about it is,

it's that strange mixture of on the one hand quite brittle, quite sharp, quite satirical comedy. and underneath it this kind of sense of depth and sadness which sort of rises and falls with the movie itself. i have to confess i wasn't entirely one over. i know some people have fallen in love with it. i've heard people rave about it. i know some people have found it absolutely infuriating. i think i fell somewhere between the two. i could see it could be infuriating and there were moments in it which i thought, 0k, fine, enough of this already. it's a great central performance and it's a really odd film that has strange turns you don't expect. and something happens in the final act which i can't reveal at all. it was a film that right up until the last moment kept wrong—footed me. for that i think it needs to be praised. it is an oddity. and it's absolutely not for everyone. ok, i'm intrigued by that one so i shall have to see it and report back. the final film, i should know the title off by heart,

i shouldn't have to look down at my paper because i've seen the trailer so many times. it's about guernsey. the the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society, which everybody knows the novel will know. it's based on a very well known and well liked novel. lily james is julie ashton, an author, who in the post—war period receives a letter from someone in guernsey saying, got one of your books and it's very important to me, because we form this literary society and your story actually intertwines with the literary society. this weird thing about the potato peel. she said, i don't understand, what is all that about? they start corresponding. she decide actually what she needs to do is go to guernsey because there is this society which is. . .they found great strength from reading books and sharing stories and she thinks it's a great idea. her publisher is not so keen. here is a look. sidney...

j—j—j—ust hold on. hold on one second. what the dickens is that? juliet, you cannot go to a book club meeting on the island of guernsey. it's a leap of faith they'll even let me in. you're reading in cambridge on friday. but the society, they meet on a friday. they can't wait. i'll only be gone the weekend, back monday. edinburgh. you're in edinburgh, monday. i honestly don't know why we provide you with an itinerary, ijust don't. well, this is your fault. you said yes to the times. excuse me, my fault? sidney, what books, what reading did for these people, finally i'll have something serious to write. this wouldn't just be to get out of reading izzy in cambridge, would it? you're not... you're not running away? ha—ha—ha, you're too funny. well, i can't imagine mark would let you get very far anyway. let me(!) so half of downton abbey's in it. that tells you something about the demographic it's going for. it does, and everything

about the look of it and the title of it pretty much tells you, you know the film you think it's going to be, it's that film. i struggle to think of a film which contained fewer surprises. it's not necessarily meaning it without charm. there are things... the performances are good, it is a good—looking film, the scenery is largely devon and cornwall, not guernsey as it turns out. there is a bit early on in which we meet her fiance, who, short of having a label on his head, "not the right guy"... then of course the first thing that happens when she goes to guernsey, she meets the most attractive pig farmer you have ever seen in your entire life. it's kind of charming, it's got a great ensemble cast. really really good cast and everyone is clearly having a good time, the lack of surprise did trouble me slightly. there is a certain darkness underlying the story, obviously, because it's a story of occupation, legacy of occupation. but that is very much in the background. which is a shame because that story

in itself is fascinating. horrendous for the resident at the time but historically fascinating. that story has yet properly to be told on screen. this is exactly what you would think from the poster. there was a phrase used once by a critic who said goes down nicely with a cup of tea. it's exactly that film. it should be dismissed for that because it is exactly what you expect it to be. i want a little more grit, a little more substance, i wanted something other than just thinking, you know, this is a well—made picture postcard story. particularly because the subject sounds like it ought to be rather deeper than it is. it's perfectly fine. i smiled occasionally, you know. it's perfectly fine, said mark kermode. they're not putting that on the poster. best out is the film you're going to say, butjane, i think you'd really like it. and i'm going to say, mark, iwould be scared out of my wits. this is a quiet place, which is really

brilliant horror chiller. i know you are a huge horror movie fan. my mission is to get you and see more horror movies. this is a really good example because this is a story about an environment in which we are being terrorised by monsters who effectively see with their ears. it's what they hear, how they locate you. as long as you are silent, you are safe. sound is dangerous. the real genius of it is, it's a film which when i saw it made the audience fall silent. it made the audience go quiet. it's to do with tension, it's to do with atmosphere and build—up. it has really well observed characters because it basically, it's about a family. on the way in which the family may or may not hold together. all the performances are very solid. it's perfectly pitched. yes, there is danger and threaten the rest of it, but it's all to do with the film—makers using the technique of silence, the absence of sound, to really draw you in. i think you'd really like it.

just as piece of film—making it's thrilling. it's edge of your seat stuff. it is scary but it's a horror film. yes. dvd is a fascinating story. we're moving on now. dvd is bombshell: the hedy lamarr story, which is a story i didn't know about. obviously she was known as a screen icon. it turned out had this whole other career as an inventor, somebody who was working on inventions that effectively ended up giving us bluetooth and wi—fi and having patents used by the us navy for frequency hopping technology. it's really fascinating, not least because it's a really, really good story and a story i don't think is particularly widely known. and it's also about that idea, the world can only accept you as one thing. the world will accept a public persona in which you are one thing and that's it. once you're that one thing you can't be something else. fascinating, really, really interesting story. thanks very much, mark. thank you. fun as ever, even if i'm not going to go and see it. before we go, you'll find all the film news

chilly night, threes and fours in a blend of scotland and north of england. moving into tomorrow, this gradual change or downward trend will continue through the weekend. with the added competition of risk ofa with the added competition of risk of a sundry breakdown. a lot of fine and dry weather for northern ireland and dry weather for northern ireland and scotland to start with but as the day progresses, the chance of showers starts to develop in the south and heading north. initially quite light after mist and fog clears but as heat builds they could turn quite intense. another warm day for part of the country, 16—17, well above average for the time of year. and into the 20s. nearly 10 degrees above average. obviously it could culminate in some lusty slow—moving thunderstorms as the day wears on. any evening activities could be at risk from disruption because of deluge. though stanley showers are likely to make their way north and east with time. that is a risk through tomorrow evening and overnight in particular. that warm

air eventually get swept away by our cold front moving in on sunday. it looks more subtle to the north and west as the low pressure approaches, eventually this cool, fresh weather sweeps east. for much of the day we keep the same type of air across southern and eastern areas. it's still warm, quite muddy, a lot of dry and bright weather with rain at mid—afternoon. for scotland and northern ireland, in more unsubtle that picture, showers, longer spells of rain as the low approaches. temperatures considerably lower, down 5 degrees and into northern england. much of england and wales after the rain passes through, fine and dry conditions. it could be one of the warmest london marathon is so stay tuned to the forecast. this is bbc world news today.
