motorways is what whereas driving on motorways is what so whereas driving on motorways is what so many whereas driving on motorways is what so many are whereas driving on motorways is what so many are frightened of. —— lot. it is even more dangerous if you go onto a motorway never having had a lesson before. but if you have never practised, it isjust as dangerous. do we like that? i am supported. i do not want it. you do not even drive. take the train. that is it for the papers tonight. do not forget you can see all of the front pages of the papers on the website. thank you, both of you. i will take you across the road for a night cap. next, it is the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news.
11:46 pm
to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. 50 jason, what do we have this week? we have got books, sex and football this week in the cinema releases. diane keaton and jane fonda rekindle a passion for reading in book club. is it dinnerfor two or room for more in sexy french thriller l'amant double? and who is the greatest english football manager of all time? some famous names put the case in football documentary bobby. what can possibly go wrong with this one? i did wonder. we will start with jane fonda, diane keaton. they are all there. it is four old friends who have been going to a book club for 30 or a0 years, they have had marriages,
11:47 pm
some have, their husbands have died, some are divorced, they have had children, they have grown up. they get given a new book and it is el what's her name. 50 shades of grey — who wrote that book? any way, someone wrote it. we know the book. whoever wrote it! this puts themselves in all in a tizzy, the soft erotica makes them feel perhaps they are wasting their time and they should be reigniting their sex life, so they decide to do so, including receiving gentleman callers for the first time in many years. here is diane keaton answering the door to a new boyfriend. 0k, you're going to be great. great. this is going to be amazing. let's get to the window. just act natural.
11:48 pm
well, hey you. oh, good, you're home. he's wearing jeans. i love a man injeans. let me see. he's got a cute tush. um... oh, you brought me flowers? there you go. thank you so much. he brought flowers. i love a man who brings flowers. if you don't like them, you have to blame your neighbour, i picked them from their garden. oh, you're kidding me. no. the last time she went on a date she got pregnant. i don't think that's going to happen this time! there you go. is it... i say this as a massive fan of grace and frankie, which jane fonda starred in. that is the talking about getting older and the trials and tribulations, does this do it as well? that is andy garcia at the door.
11:49 pm
i didn't recognise him. he hasn't changed that much. he was sort of diane keaton's nephew in the godfather 3, so that is weird. casting issues are the least of this film's worries, to be honest. yes, it should be aimed at older women. my mum has been a member of a book club and i thought they went round to discuss literature or the latest barbara taylor bradford. they guzzle gallons of wine and melt into terrible innuendo about viagra, and that is what these people do. i think this is very patronising, this film. part of the fact it wastes four great actresses with terrible scripts, bad lighting, bad editing. you are waiting for the laughs to come and they are not there. it gets embarrassing seeing jane fonda, who was sexually forward thinking in the ‘70s, with films like klute, and diane keaton who set the bar with annie hall. this puts it backwards. i am all for older women talking about their sex lives and having sex, that is fine, but here, it just felt that none of these people were real at all,
11:50 pm
or got themselves into real situations, that might be construed as comic. and it is a waste of talent, which is a shame. shame. i would like your mum to review the film. take us through something you enjoyed more. yes, this is a sexy french thriller, which is how i like them. it is called l'amant double. we are so au fait with these we don't need to translate them. it is about a young woman called chloe, who works in an art gallery, who goes to see a psychiatrist to get rid of an existential pain she has. her psychiatrist falls in love with her so he can't treat her, so he sends her to another one who looks a bit like him, could it be his evil twin brother? he gives out a different treatment to chloe. i hope people are keeping up. it's not easy to keep up, you think what has just happened. some of it is saucy, i take...
11:51 pm
i like my french people naked. that is sort of how they should be in the cinema. i think maybe during brexit negotiations we should imagine our french audience naked. during brexit negotiations, things might go smoother. don't bring brexit into it! that is too much. it is by a french director who is a fine french director, it is about gender fluidity, sexual identity, duality, old and young, it is a smart film, dressed up as one of these, almost one of those flashy american thrillers like, do you remember nine and a half weeks? showing our age, talking about that! it harks back to that. stylish, beautiful, the man and woman are very sexy leads, it's very well done. 0k, and now we move the football.
11:52 pm
yes. it is all happening this week. ruud gullitt called it sexy football. a new documentary about bobby robson, the england manager during maradona's hand of god incident in 86, and for that shoot out in italian 90, where we went out to germany. but it is not bobby robson's fault. what people forget is he managed at barcelona, in holland and porto, in portugal, where he won titles and metjose mourinho, who became his assistant and was in shot constantly. whatever happened to him! it is terrific. it is about the relationships, that he had as a manager, perhaps the most famous with was his relationship with a footballer called gazza. paul gascoigne. some guy.
11:53 pm
crazy as hell. i call him daft as a brush, and he was. daft as a brush, yeah, he can be that. so i had to wait until he was absolutely ready, until we felt we could really rely on him. he says if you play well, i'm going to pick you for the world cup. commentator: gascoigne! thank you very much. set up three and scored one. and i always remember him — "that was fantastic. " going to spend two hours tomorrow with him, to try and restore a bit of confidence, you know, he's lacking in confidence, isn't he, the boy. do you have to be an absolute football lover to enjoy this or does it tell you lots of things about the man you didn't know before? i think it helps ans i think it's my era of football fandom, but it is more about this man,
11:54 pm
bobby robson, who was vilified in the press many times, who kept going through it. it is about the career of someone lasting, and becoming something greater than football, because his lasting legacy, as the film shows, his cancer unit he set up in newcastle, which is saving lives, he did bring huge smiles to the nation. the maradona incident is one of the most famous you will see, italia 90 is etched on people. the fact he was a european football manager with a great odyssey, is he is the last english manager to have won a trophy in 1997, so he belongs to a different era. i thought this was a warm, sort of outstandingly informational documentary as well. it taught me stuff i had forgotten and there is great goals and fiendish behaviours of footballers. it is about being more than a manager. fascinating and a great documentary.
11:55 pm
thank you. best out this week, an animated film i thought was terrific. yes, this is the bread winner. it was an oscar nominee, it didn't win, but this is very different. i love the style of animation, an irish animation house but pixar illustrated arabic tale. it is dominated by the taliban where an 11—year—old girl has to disguise herself as a boy in order to keep herfamily alive. women are not even allowed to go to the market. so it is about the freedoms she deliciously first experiences and the sadness she has to change gender to do so. it is innocent and beautiful, and it is about telling stories as well and keeping those stories alive. it is very different to your smooth kind of committee honed pixarfilms. it has heart and soul and a brave
11:56 pm
girl at the heart of it. a terrific story and beautifully told, and a cracking dvd for anyone who wants to stay in. more genderfluidity, a fantastic woman. it is about a transgendered nightclub singer in chile, who loses her lover and has to face society on her own without her lover. brilliantly played by daniela vega. she does stare at you. she is proud, enigmatic and fantastic. wonderful. thank you. good to see you. thank you very much indeed. a mixed bag. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you are getting up to. see you this time next week. thanks for being with us. goodbye. any other seeing some sunshine
11:57 pm
today. temperatures into the mid and even upper 20s. london at 27 celsius. there have been a few showers and storms, not very many compared with recent days. most of us compared with recent days. most of us have seemed like this. tomorrow's sunshine is going to be harder to come by. high pressure to the north of us, dominant for the first half of us, dominant for the first half of the week, at least. around that a gentle north and north—easterly flow coming into the uk. overnight and into the morning, skipping in a lot of cloud from the north sea and bringing it in land. it could well be cloudier by the time we get to the morning. this is how it is looking for early rises tomorrow. ten to 14 degrees. some clear spells in early sunshine. and these are the areas which will continue to see some occasional sunny spells during the day. a few showers developing in for northern ireland and western scotland there could be found thundery into the afternoon. by no means will everyone see those thunderstorms. eastern scotland,
11:58 pm
northern, central and eastern parts of england, a lot of that cloud will stay with us. a few brighter breaks and it could be a bit drizzly early on. essentially a dry day and with cloud much cooler compared to today. and in fact for much of the past week or so. still some warmth in sunny spells in the west. plenty of cloud monday night and into tuesday morning, and apart from some drizzle it is essentially drive. the nights getting cooler as well. more of us into single figures, even more by the time we get to tuesday night. and then during tuesday the big picture is pretty similar. we are keeping an eye on lower pressure to the south, and these weather fronts nudging northwards to the channel islands and the far north—west of england, with the odd shower and thunderstorm. for many of us are cloudy, rather misty and murky start oi"! cloudy, rather misty and murky start on tuesday. cloud across parts of southern england and wales into the afternoon, elsewhere it should turn sunny during the day. temperatures into the high teens and some spots the low 20s. a lot of quite a weather to come, with high—pressure
11:59 pm
close by. we will start to get a little bit warmer as the week goes on, more of us creeping into the low 20s, not as warm as it has been. we have had those soaking torrential downpours. later in the week the odd shower and thunderstorm, fewer than we have seen and probably not as intense but we will keep an eye on that. for much of the week many of us that. for much of the week many of us will be staying dry. it is certainly the case after tomorrow in scotland. that is how things are looking in the week ahead. many more details available on our website. we have the weather throughout the night on bbc news. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: china joins g7 countries in warning president trump against import tariffs. on allegations of collusion with russia, mr trump's lawyer says the president probably has the power to pardon himself but won't. pardoning himself would just be
12:00 am
unthinkable. it would lead to an immediate impeachment. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme: "love is stronger than hate". the message from london as it marks one year since the london bridge terror attacks, in which eight people died. and the nesting birds at risk from rats on a group of australian islands. we'll hearfrom a queensland ranger overseeing a three—week baiting
