a costume change issue, some of you might notice. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode in his squeaky chair. what do we have this week? very interesting, we have on chesil beach, adapted from the ian mcewan novel. deadpool 2, satirical sequel. and the prizewinner at cannes 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's done the screenplay himself. it's about newlyweds in the early

‘60s, they go to a hotel on the beach for their honeymoon. outside, the landscape is wild and raw, but inside the hotel things are chilly and distant. it's clear that neither of these two people, played by saoirse ronan and billy howle, have been intimate before. as they move towards the wedding, we see the flashbacks to their past lives, their tensions with theirfamilies and their relationship, right back to their first meeting. here's a clip. meant to be half a mile across. hello. would you like one? it's all about a hydrogen bomb landing on oxford. can't think of anything better.

do you mind if i tell you something? i've got to tell 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's 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's a really, really well—loved book, it's a very intense book, and it's hard to put that on screen because cinema tends to be full of stories about sexy romances. this is completely the opposite. it's 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, between the present and the past very well. that shift is delineated and distinctive through the music. the music tells you where you are, but it also joins scenes together. i think one of the things that may be difficult is that because it's 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 audiences finding it tough. the key thing is that it's done with real integrity, real honesty, and towards the end, there are certain things which narratively don't quite work, but they worked when i watched it, because on an emotional level they work. it's a real triumph for 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's a love story and it's a heartbreakingly tragic love story. and very evocative of its time. yes. some people who have seen the book will want the book. this isn't the book. it's a film of the book. i should approach with caution. deadpool 2. yes, did you... don't ask me, you know the answer 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 disruptive and anarchic and i thought it was rude. i thought the last third descended into crashy—smashy 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 bigger 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 laughs 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's fine. from my point of view, the first film was trying to be kick ass and not quite getting there but having some of that charm. the second film is trying not to be kick ass 2 but unfortunately falls into that territory. doesn't ryan reynolds manage to 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 like 16 walls. i did laugh out loud at that first joke ryan reynolds does seem to be enjoying himself, but there's a general rule that the more you enjoy yourself when you're making a film, the less the audience enjoys it. too many in—jokes. we never have that here. jeune femme — it won the camera d'or

at the cannes film festival? it won the camera d'or, which is for the best debut feature. directed by leonor serraille, a brilliant performance by laetitia dosch. she's a 31—year—old woman whom we first meet beating her head on the door of her apartment, "let me in, let me in," she'sjust broken up with her boyfriend whom she was with very long time, a photographer who had a particular idea of her. we see her pinballing around paris, almost homeless, trying to find an identity which fits. she tries on several characters, one pretends to be an art student, one's 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's 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 there. a brilliantly made film. almost an 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's very dark. i thought it was a brilliant character study. i really understood her world. 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's also a story about mothers and daughters. it's 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's like a quirky thing, like greta gerwig or something. i don't think it is. i think it's darker than that. it's a brilliant character study of somebody in extremis, on the verge, somebody trying to find some kind of central position. i really loved it. you should definitely see it, it's 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'd used that phrase. iwill, now, and pass it off as my own. it feels that the film is about to trip over itself. this film review stuff is easy. it's a piece of cake. best out, 2001: a space odyssey. you're not crazy about it? i find it immensely disturbing, which it's supposed to be. it's been reissued. it's 50 years old, which is scary, because i remember seeing it asa kid. a very young kid. a 70mm cut which they played at cannes. however you've seen it before, it's worth seeing on the big screen. i've only seen it on television, and a little old television. you need to see it projected. it's a real big—screen experience. it's an extraordinary piece of work. it's frustrating and strange and mysterious and it's one of those films which you can watch over and over again and every time you see it it looks

like something else. it's worth seeing. if you've only seen it on tv you need to on the big screen. best dvd, a fantastic woman. not in english? it won the best foreign language film at the oscars and deservedly so. it's just brilliant. it's basically the story of a transgender woman who's with a partner who dies and finds herself suddenly ousted by the family. again, it's 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 noirish thriller but at other times turns into almost a dance piece, a 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 enjoyed that, we should do it again. the pleasure was entirely mine.

i will let you say that. 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 iplayer. that's it for this week, thanks for watching. goodbye. good evening. i'm sure i saw that presenter earlier this hour. a lovely day across many parts of the country and 2a was the highly in sheffield. not the same everywhere because as will see through the press —— rest of the week there will be exceptions. today we saw missed anglo crowd and here is some of it drifting in towards robin hood bay and we will see further stuff like

that on the eastern coast and there is wet weather across scotland and northern ireland and if anything it will get wetter in the coming hours. this strip of cloud stretches to the azores but running along this a little ripple and went to see that ona little ripple and went to see that on a weather front it seems to bring heavy bursts of rain and that is happening in northern ireland and that was spreading across western scotland. most of it will be dry and the mist and low cloud will drift into eastern counties to take this in the morning. this is where it will be cold in the morning rush hour with temperatures in mid single figures of the most pleasant start and the low, great cloud across the east will break up and a few sea fog patches in the coast and the rain will continue across the far north—west of scotland and to the west of northern ireland but it will ease off in intensity and if you look around in a mid—afternoon another warm one with temperatures up another warm one with temperatures up to 22 degrees from late morning into the afternoon, isolated but

scattered showers breaking out and there could be a rumble of thunder. many places will avoid it stay dry and it will brighten up in the east of northern ireland and the rain will still come and go in the west and still some call conditions in the north—west highlands and orkney and shetland and a bit cloudy and cooler on the moray firth. on monday night, that will fizzle and they will drift westwards. the showers are due to the area of low pressure in western europe which is getting closer towards us and high pressure will build on the weather front in the north so that will decay on tuesday with patchy drizzle in northern scotland but brighter weather for orkney, shetland and the hebrides, drier brighter day in northern ireland as well and much of england and wales has long sunny spells after a misty start but a few isolated showers in the south later. that story continues the rest of the week, isolated showers and thunderstorms in the south, and when

it is dry and sunny, with the sun out it will feel pleasantly warm. goodbye for now. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore, the headlines: a lava flow from the kilauea volcano in hawaii reaches the coast prompting warnings of a toxic gas cloud. lava spurting into the air and you can hear it even from this distance. people who live nearby say at times their homes have been shaken by the sheer force of the eruptions. back from the brink of a costly trade war — the us and china agree not to impose new tariffs on each other‘s goods. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: the polls have closed in venezuela's presidential election where the opposition accuses the government of intimidating voters. cheering and applause the royal family thank the public for their support
