news, it is time for the film to take us through this week‘s cinema releases is mark kermode. very interesting week, we have the breadwinner which is a animation. solo, a star wars story, another one. and mckellenzplaying the part. and the breadwinner, based or taken from a book? yes, by deborah ellis. this is from the studio that gave us song of the scene. this is adapted from deborah ellis‘ book. taliban in iraq, and eventually ah essentially

a young girl is selling bread for her father. clearly, a young girl is selling bread for herfather. clearly, they are struggling materially, but he teaches hardy power of history, and most importantly, the power of stories. it have a look at the clip. our people have always told stories, from our very beginning,... a fractured land and the claws of the mountains, scorched by the fiery eyes of the northern deserts. black rubble earth against ice peaks, our land was the petrified skeleton of a monster. the land of the noble and honourable. we were a pathway to everywhere, carrying goods from east to west. we studied the stars and began to see order amidst the chaos.

we were scientists, philosophers and storytellers. questions sought a nswe i’s , storytellers. questions sought answers, and then more questions. we began to see our place in the universe. on the one hand you have that sort of animation comedy cycling and cut out, then you have the more realistic backgrounds of the more realistic backgrounds of the streets of couple. their recently drawn but very expressive faces. what happens is the father is arrested by the taliban, and the mother and sister are unable to get food, because you can‘t go out without a male chaperone. our young heroine cuts her hair, puts on her dead brother‘s loads and goes it described yamac disguised as a boy. she discovers that as the ball you can go wherever you want. she is also on a mission, not only to do provide from her family, also on a mission, not only to do provide from herfamily, but also on a mission, not only to do provide from her family, but to get her father from jail. it is wonderful. there is many... it deals with very dark subject matter. this

is what i was thinking. situation is very bleak for women. absolutely what it is about. it is very much a feminist story, but a universal story, but it is told through the eyes of the central child, an 11—year—old girl, and because we see it through her eyes, we can see terrible things, and yet her bravery, courage, humour and laughter sees us through. i can thing is i think the way that the animation is done, in different dials, very realistic portrait of the streets and markets, juxtaposed against the cutout cycling of the story within the story, in which there is a story about a young boy having to go up against a dreadful elephant king which kind of mirrors oui’ elephant king which kind of mirrors our heroine‘s journey, and those two fits together. the mix of eastern and western influences. i have seen it three times, and every time, i saw something i mist. i genuinely think it is universal. it is 12 a

certificate. it is telling a very difficult and very important story. you will love it. i can't wait. i wonder if the animation makes it more bearable, something that is difficult. is that true? absolutely. animation can talk about subjects that live—action movies couldn‘t do, because of the transformative power. we are living through a golden age of animation. you have things like cocoa. we are in a wonderful time animation. this is at least forefront. it is wonderful. it is called the breadwinner, you will have to seek it out, because many screens showing another movie this week, but do seek it out. it is wonderful. are they showing star wars? there is another one. the other one was six months ago. this is another one of the stand—alone spin offs. solo: a star wars story story. it is about han solo and his first meeting with chewbacca. his

growing love affair with the falkland, and behold thing is wrapped up in a narrative in which they have to steal... it had a very troubled production. it was originally directed by the guys who made the lego movie. the left and they were told to go, they brought in ron howard. that seems, wow, that‘s a big deal! it is surprisingly coherent. it does have a coherent tone. the tone is basically flimsy and fun, and alt and mac is very, very good. we see him as the character we know and love as harrison ford. —— al den. they also have the force and the religion and the samurai stuff. this doesn‘t, it just seems religion and the samurai stuff. this doesn‘t, itjust seems it much more like something, landa calrissian is really good fun. it does seem like,

iam not really good fun. it does seem like, i am not entirely sure i needed this. did i really want another one of these? it is a bit baggy in the middle. it is fine, but hardly essential. i did not feel that there was a huge amount ofjeopardy. it‘s not rogue one, which is a warm movie. we are going to get to the point of any gap of the star wars story, they will put another movie. 0h, story, they will put another movie. oh, what happened when they went through that door? now there‘s three movies to fill in the gap. moving on, ian mckellen, if you are watching this, happy birthday ian mckellen and there is a wholesome to celebrate? you were saying before, is ita celebrate? you were saying before, is it a documentary? technically, it is it a documentary? technically, it is elicited into it. him looking back and give it his life, college, theatre, sexuality becoming a political activist for lgbt causes, and then going back to schools and taking his vast knowledge to schools. he talked about how for a

long—time theatre was the central of his life, then of course how he moves into movies. and they filmed out moves into movies. and they filmed our progress up moves into movies. and they filmed our progress up the reg. i think only once because we would have left our footprint in the snow, therefore. could not do it twice. as we we re therefore. could not do it twice. as we were going along, and i am going erow we were going along, and i am going snow up to my knees, with a perilous drop on one side, and a bit of a peak at the other. i could be on everest. it is about as far away as you can get. we were there. constantly, we were there, and you can ask any of the actors, there we re can ask any of the actors, there were other locations. by rambus other locations where we were —— ira mumba other locations where we were lifted up by helicopter, with a fantastic view, surrounded by

mountains. —— i remember. and mac you could listen to his voice all day, couldn't you ? you could listen to his voice all day, couldn't you? this is directed by the —— day, couldn't you? this is directed by the -- this is directed by the same guy who made chicken. he has also done dramatisations in which mckellen‘s word and lip—synched by actors recreating key moments. those dramatisations works surprisingly well. really, surprisingly well. scott chambers who was so brilliant in chicken features, as well. i thought the whole thing was like a lovely leather armchair. you can just sit there and let these stories was over “— just sit there and let these stories was over —— wash over you. just sit there and let these stories was over “ wash over you. yes, just sit there and let these stories was over -- wash over you. yes, the theatre actor to some people, a film actor to others, and that is why it is so glorious. here he is withjudi dench. he says it is very difficult to play with her, because the audiences love her. which is

absolutely true. this is playing later on on sunday, and opens properly on fine day —— friday, but it isa properly on fine day —— friday, but it is a real pleasure to watch. and your best debut? jeune femme, younger women. you your best debut? jeune femme, younger women. you will have to seek it out, but really, really good. all of the heads of department on the film work all e—mail. everything so it is just film work all e—mail. everything so it isjust a film work all e—mail. everything so it is just a terrific piece of work andi it is just a terrific piece of work and i think you will rely kit. and dvd, the post? it is a film by steven spielberg, a historicalfilm about the battle between the freedom press and a corrupt president. i don‘t know why, but it seemed

terribly contemporary. i'd love it when you say what you think, mark. it isa when you say what you think, mark. it is a great film, don‘t let me be too rude about it. good to see you as ever and a mind that you can find all the film news and reviews from across the bbc, on the website. all our previous programmes on the ipl, as well. that is it for this week, it isa as well. that is it for this week, it is a really, really interesting week. thank you for being with us. see you next time. happy cinema going. hello there, it is the biggest weekend, this weekend. it will be be

to fall for that. it should last into tomorrow. i‘m not quite so sure of the swansea and coventry, it looks quite unsettled. and this is why. doesn‘t this look awful if you are travelling at this evening? this is rain pulling across northern england and wales, the sunshine is materialising further east to end the day, but that could still trigger a late shower, and some of the cloud is coming across the eastside. some beautiful sunshine still the most of scotland. is a bit of... this was taken earlier, up in fort augustus. this is how it looked under the rain. if you have been in that, it will be quite miserable, but warm, never the less. the rain will start to beat out overnight, and the expense of some more showers across the channel. light winds and areas of low pressure in the south, it will turn misty and foggy as the night goes on. we will see the low

cloud returning inland, but it will be quite a close night predicting the south, all of that moisture around, still pulling in even more mad you can see from the continent going through this we can. but right on the north sea coast, bearing in mind that badgers are right slow in the north—east still, it will feel quite chilly. some travellers will be scattered around in the south, but again, the best of this and it will be further north, however, come the afternoon, the storms that you gather again across southern parts of england, and then push their way northwards into wales. just the outside chance of one or two showers east berlin island, still a bit of low cloud around the murray first, the aberdeenshire coast, as well. by and large, fine and dry and warm weather. 22—23. where we have the showers, which through till tomorrow night continued to develop more widely, spreading northwards, mostly a feature for ingrid and wales, but

they do brush by two southern parts of northern ireland, and an increased risk here on sunday. potential some torrential conditions on sunday, as those storms cropped up. still lots of lovely weather further north. then through sunday night, continue to push their way northwards, there could be some showers around for the likes of belfast, south—west scotland into bank holiday monday, butjust a word of warning, although it looks warm, the dig in the north, we will have some fun free rein, torrential downpours and those sorts of downpours, could lead to some flash flooding. warnings are on the website. a

hollywood mogul harvey weinstein appears in court in new york, charged with rape and sexual abuse. he pays a million dollars in cash as bail and is made to wear an electronic tag. his lawyer says he denies the charges. mr weinstein did not invent the casting couch in hollywood and to the extent that there is bad behaviour in that industry, that is not what this is about. bad behaviour is not on trial in this case. and these are the first criminal charges against mr weinstein but he is already facing a raft of civil lawsuits. also tonight... the modesty of a 96—year—old d—day veteran who fought off a hammer attack and was left for dead. i blame myself, because i was special services. i think i should really have known how to deal with this. it‘s on , it‘s off — and now it could be back on again
