' from sequel. and the prizewinnerfrom last year, jeune femme. sequel. and the prizewinnerfrom last year, jeune femme. beautifully pronounced. thank you, my french accent is terrible. the practice paid off. so, on chesil beach, an adaptation of ian mcewan‘s beautiful book. he has done the screenplay himself. it is about newlyweds in the early 1960s, they go to a hotel on the beach for their honeymoon. outside, the landscape is wild and raw, but inside the hotel things are julienned distant. it is clear that neither of these two people, played by saoirse ronan and... have been intimate before. as they move towards the wedding, we see the flashbacks to their past lives, their tensions with their families and their relationship, right back to their first meeting. here and their relationship, right back to theirfirst meeting. here is and their relationship, right back to their first meeting. here is a clip. hello. hello. would you like one?

it's all about a hydrogen bomb landing on oxford. can't think of anything better. do you mind ifi tell you something? i've got to tell someone. tell you something? i've got to tell someone. tell me. i say, do we know you? i've just someone. tell me. i say, do we know you? i'vejust heard, i got a someone. tell me. i say, do we know you? i've just heard, i got a first in history. that's fantastic. let's get on with handing these out, shall we? so, theirfirst meeting, very intelligent and accomplished young people, but they have a disastrous wedding? basically, it is about the way in which they both have problems with intimacy, and we get to see their lives up until that point. the difficult thing is this. it is a really, really well loved book, it isa

really, really well loved book, it is a very intense book, and it is ha rd to is a very intense book, and it is hard to put that on screen because cinema tends to be full of stories about sexy romances. this is com pletely about sexy romances. this is completely the opposite. it is about emotional stillness. the stuff i think it does really well, i think the performances are great, saoirse ronan is great, she never puts a foot wrong. i completely believed in this couple. the other thing that works very well is that it manages to shift tween the time periods, 20 present a story in the past very well. that shift is delineated and distinct from the music. music tells you where you are but it also joins scenes together. i think one of the things that may be difficulties that because it is not an obviously cinematic subject, they had to work quite hard with the way in which the story is told, because a lot of it is to do with internal issues. now, i think they've done that rather well, although i can imagine some audience is finding it tough. the key thing is that it is done with real integrity, real honesty, and towards the end, there are certain

things which narratively do not quite work, but they worked when i watched it, because on an emotional level they work. it is a real triumph or a film which is so much about emotional repression, and has some really dark things going on in the background, that it actually was emotionally engaging. it is a love story and it is a heartbreakingly tragic love story. and very evocative of its time. yes. some people who have seen the book will wa nt people who have seen the book will want the book. this isn't the book. it isa want the book. this isn't the book. it is a film of the book.|j want the book. this isn't the book. it is a film of the book. i should approach with caution. deadpool two. did you... don't ask me, you know the question is that i didn't see it. does the world need another superhero sequel? i was surprised by the first one, i laughed all the way through. i thought it was doing something disrupt it and anarchic andi something disrupt it and anarchic and i thought it was rude. i thought the last third descended into crashing and smashing stuff i didn't ca re crashing and smashing stuff i didn't care for. so i thought, here we go again. twice as expensive, half as funny. all the special effects and

fight scenes are eager and slicker. an all—star cast. yet what we've lost is the kind of anarchic charm of the original. i laughed pretty much all the way through the first two thirds of the original. i can count on one hand the last i had through this film. the general feeling, i know some people love it, i know many of the fans who went to see it as soon as it opened really, really enjoyed it, and that is fine. from my point of view, the first film was trying to be kick as and not quite getting there but having some of that charm. a second film is trying not to be kick as two but u nfortu nately falls into trying not to be kick as two but unfortunately falls into that territory. doesn't ryan reynolds carry it on his own, removing the fourth wall and talking to the audience? the breaking of the fourth wall was better in the first film, the second one has four walls within four walls which is lack 16 balls. i did laugh out loud that first—rate. ryan reynolds does seem to be enjoying himself, but there is a

general rule that the more you enjoy yourself when you are making a film, the less the audience enjoys it. too many and jokes. we never have that here. jeune femme. it won the best film at the cannes film festival. yes, for best debut feature. a brilliant performance by letitia dosh. she is a 31—year—old woman whom we first meet beating her head on the door of her apartment, let me m, on the door of her apartment, let me in, let me, she hasjust broken up with her boyfriend whom she was with very long time, a photographer who had a particular idea of her. we see her pinball in around paris, almost homeless, trying to find an identity which fits. she tries on several characters, one pretends to be an art student, one is going to be a nanny. at one point she goes for a job interview in an underwear store in which she ludicrously claims to be excessively organised and very tidy. here is a clip. and of course her life is complete chaos. i was reading about the fact that the design and the photography

and the editing was noteworthy. you can see the editing of air. a brilliantly made film. almost an entirely female crew. a fantastic central force in entirely female crew. a fantastic centralforce in which entirely female crew. a fantastic central force in which this character pretends to be all these other characters while trying to find her own identity, the director describes it as a journey from girlhood to womanhood. that clip is very comic. much of it is very dark. i thought it was a brilliant character study. i really understood her world. the meteorite is the beginning and she has this sort of really crazy nervous energy that can frighten some people away, it can attract and repel at the same time. it had exactly that right balance of comedy and tragedy. it is also a story about mothers and daughters. it is about somebody looking for an identity, trying on identities. there was a film recently called personal shopper, in which the central character tried on clothes, like identities. it reminded me of that. some people have made this comparison and said it is like a quirky thing, like greta gerwig or

something. i don't think it is. i think it is darker than that. it is a brilliant character study of somebody in extremist, on the verge, somebody in extremist, on the verge, somebody trying to find some kind of central position. —— in extremis. i really loved it. you should definitely see it, it is a great debut feature. just from that little clip you can feel that energy, almost as if it was going to trip over itself. yes, and that happens all the way through the film. i wish i had used that phrase. i will, now, and pass it off as my own. it feels that the film is about to trip over itself. this film review stuffed... it isa itself. this film review stuffed... it is a piece of cake. best out, 2001 space odyssey. you are not crazy about it. i find it immensely disturbing, which it is supposed to be. it has been reissued? it is 50 yea rs be. it has been reissued? it is 50 years old, which is scary, because i remember seeing it as a kid. a very young kid. a 70 millimetres and which they played at cannes. however you see it in the cinema, it is

worth seeing on the big screen. i've only seeing it on television. you need to see it projected. it is a real big—screen experience. it is extraordinary piece of work. it is frustrating and strange and mysterious and it is one of those films which you can watch it over and over again films which you can watch it over and overagain and films which you can watch it over and over again and every time you see it it looks like something else. it is worth seeing. if you have seen it on tv you need to on the big screen. best dvd, a fantastic film. not in english? it won the best foreign language film and deservedly so. foreign language film and deservedly so. it isjust foreign language film and deservedly so. it is just brilliant. foreign language film and deservedly so. it isjust brilliant. it foreign language film and deservedly so. it is just brilliant. it is basically the story of a transgender woman who is with a partner who dies and finds herself suddenly ousted by the family. again, it is about a search for identity, for a place in the world. i thought it was beautifully done, a fantastic central performance by daniela vega. wonderfully shot, in a way which sometimes looks like a dark and irish thriller but at other times turns into almost adults, and

musical, in the same way that the shape of water, the guillermo del toro film, turns into a different film halfway through. i thought it was magic and uplifting and dealt with a difficult subject matter rather brilliantly. and her performance, remarkable. absolutely remarkable. mark, thank you. i enjoy that. we should do it again. the pleasure was entirely mine. a quick reminder before we go that you can find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online. and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc i player. that is it for this week. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello there. it was a glorious day up hello there. it was a glorious day up and down the country. lots of strong sunshine. after the cool start temperatures reached highs of around 20.5dc in a buoyant in

aberdeenshire. a gorgeous sunset scene aberdeenshire. a gorgeous sunset scene up aberdeenshire. a gorgeous sunset scene up and down the country after a glorious day. and there is more to come, into the weekend. for most of us, high pressure, which means it will be warmer to. not so much overnight. you can see the green colours returning to central and eastern parts of the country under clear skies, which will make its nippy again. out of town in some south—eastern parts, especially east anglia, we could see a touch of frost and a bit of mist and fog. this area of high pressure will be with us on saturday, keeping these weather fronts at bay, at least until sunday. you have probably heard it a million times now but it is looking pretty perfect tomorrow for the royal wedding, and temperatures off to a chilly start, rising to 20 or 21 degrees. fine weather for the scottish cup final and the fa cup final in glasgow and at wembley, with lots of sunshine, and it will feel quite warm, 20 celsius. this is the picture on saturday. you can see, barely any

cloud to begin the day. a bit of fair weather and high cloud developing through the afternoon. that could cause the temperature to get a bit hazy. a bit of haze in western scotland and northern ireland but a pretty glorious day apart from that. sunday, subtle changes. this area of high pressure shifts east into scandinavia, allowing these weather fronts to invade the north—west corner of the uk. so, cloudy skies and northern ireland, northern and western scotland. breezy as well, with outbreaks of rain. most of those across the western isles. sunny spots to the north—east of scotland, where it could be warmer game. the best of the weather for england and wales, where it will feel even warmer than saturday, 22 degrees or maybe 23 degrees. monday, that area of high pressure shifts further east, so we pull more of it east or south—east across the country, which will tend to push this weather front of the west once again. that will allow it to go across western parts of scotla nd allow it to go across western parts of scotland and in due the west of northern ireland. elsewhere, a sunny

and warm day. 2a degrees, that could set upa and warm day. 2a degrees, that could set up a sharp shower or a thunderstorm across southern areas. for the week ahead it is looking fine. high pressure still dominating for most. there will be that weather front affecting the north—west corner of the uk. elsewhere across the country, sunny spells and a few scattered or have re—entered thundery showers. that is how it is looking. see you later. this is bbc news. i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: more than 100 people are feared dead in a plane crash in cuba. the boeing 737 came down shortly after ta ke—off in havana the boeing 737 came down shortly after take—off in havana. a high school shooting in texas leaves ten dead. the suspected shooter is a 17—year—old pupil. we shouldn't be going through this, it's my school. this is my daily life, i shouldn't have to feel like that. also in the programme: with hours to go before the royal wedding, prince harry and his best man go
