to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. 50 mark, what do we have this week? very interesting week, we have maquia, a visually stunning animation. in the fade, a sociopolitical thriller with a brilliant performance by diane kruger. and overboard, the remake no one was asking for! i am looking forward to that. let us start with something i know literally nothing about this and i know you are a big fan of animation. i knew nothing about this, it opens on wednesday next week, maquia, full title, maquia: when the promised flower blooms. written and directed by mario caddo. there is a mystical plan of celestial weavers who do not appear to age, their idyllic land is invaded by mortals and one of them

is kidnapped and forced to marry eight kane—macro and another discovers a mortal child, a young baby who is taken from their mother and decides to look after them mortal child. it is a story about mothers and sons, a story about mortality and immortality and also film in which we have spectacular visual set pieces and very small intimate scenes, one of which is here. on the one hand you have that, on the other hand you have these extraordinary visual set pieces with huge great big cities in the sky with marauding action, flying these, it isa with marauding action, flying these, it is a 15 certificate, for fairly strong violence. what i liked about it, i knew nothing about the story, it, i knew nothing about the story, it worked because it is very over cranked in its emotions, all the emotions i turned up high and the score that tugs at your heartstrings and one of the things it is about, mothers and children, it is also

about crying and trying not to cry. there are few things more cinematically winning than someone saying they are not going to cry, particularly when you're in this genre. it is not up there on a level with your name, which i thought was really wonderful. i thought this was really wonderful. i thought this was really interesting, i did not know anything about the story, i thought it had real tenderness and there are certain moments in it that are breathtaking. it is a little bit contorted narratively speaking, it does have several endings, like return of the king. i was swept along by it, because it seemed passionate and it had a real intensity to it and when you go to the pictures, you want but, you want something that engages you emotionally and it did that.” something that engages you emotionally and it did that. i think that will make me cry. i think

crying and cinema is one of the greatest joys in life. crying and cinema is one of the greatestjoys in life. clearly it needs to be seen on a big screen.” thought so. i thought that was how i wa nted thought so. i thought that was how i wanted to see it, but when it comes out on dvd, i will argue from the other side. i am out on dvd, i will argue from the other side. iam nothing if not inconsistent. i am really fascinated by in the fade, it was quite a head at the cannes film festival, i think it got the golden globe. diane kruger won the best actress award in 2017. the story as she is a mother and wife in germany and there is a neo—nazi attack in which she loses people very close to her. the film thenis people very close to her. the film then is about the way in which the legal response is firstly to turn on the community that had been attacked and then the way in which the legal system attempts and perhaps fails to deal with what has happened to her. on one hand, it is an arthouse movie, a serious sociopolitical thriller, but on the other hand, it does have one foot in the kind of

revenge exploitation genre that dates back to things like death wish. if you think of night moves and death wish, but the film is uneven, but her performance is so convincing that you forgive it for the things that are perhaps less structurally convincing about it. during the court room scenes, which are shot with a gliding camera, and it is one of those depictions of the legal system in which i struggle to remember and more reptilian performance by a defence attorney, he was doing a hearse bowl of the live quite literally as the legal system let her down. we have seen a version of this story before, but she is brilliant and the thing that holds it together. but in what is seen holds it together. but in what is seen for diane kruger. overboard, which i remember from seen for diane kruger. overboard, which i rememberfrom my teenage yea rs, which i rememberfrom my teenage years, did they need to remake this? no. i cannot think of anyone crying

out saying do you remember that goldie hawn kurt russell film that we all kind of enjoyed? let us do it again. this time it is a gender swap. in the original, kurt russell convinces her that she is his wife. she is a millionaire and has an easier and he was to get his own back on her. this time anna faris goes to clean someone's yacht, they are horrible to you and she gets pushed overboard and then he becomes an amnesiac and she figures the way to get her own back is that i will tell him that he is my husband. here isa tell him that he is my husband. here is a clip. is any of this ringing a bell? nope. not a thing. we dated every time i docked. we would get frozen yoghurt and watch the sun set. that is where we fell in love. sounds like you are a romantic, leo. look, look, look, iadmit that there are many things that i have forgotten,

but from the depths of my soul, i know i am not married to this woman, so, unless i see some real proof, i am getting a slice of pie at the cafeteria. good luck, crazy lady! wait, wait. wait, honey... i didn't want to say this, because i know it embarrasses you, but you have a tattoo of a cartoon mouse on your right butt check. no, i don't. you're really my wife? for better or worse, baby! it is hard to believe, it is all that funny. it is a remember a thing. i watched this in a fairly packed screening and there is nothing louder than the sound of people not laughing. at a comedy. there is so much learning going on

on screen, so much there is so much learning going on on screen, so much mugging and yet the comedy... the key reason is they have zero chemistry, and so consequently you end up worrying about the plot and thinking, i did not think this is the first time around but now that you mention it, this plot is really creepy. there is something... it is notjust that it doesn't make any sense, it is creepy. not funny, real shame. doesn't make any sense, it is creepy. not funny, realshame. some talented people involved in it, but none of their talents being used. did we need a remake? really? now. why do they do this? let us find a producer and asked them sometime. am i going to love this? it is not to merrily about dogs. i love the director. i think he is a one of the kind film—maker and the story is

based on a play which is based on real—life story about a russian child who at the age of four left his apartment and was thrown out of his apartment and was thrown out of his apartment and lived on the streets of moscow with dogs. this is almost like a futuristic fantasy, this guy has grown up, and he remembers his life with the dogs and it is about a number of things, identity, primarily about time, about the way in which the past and present and future all coexist. it isa present and future all coexist. it is a very difficult film to describe, as with all the films of andrew kotting, it is the only way to describe them is to say you have to describe them is to say you have to watch them. i think it is really remarkable and i think andrew kotting is one of those film—makers that we should celebrate. you will really have to seek this out, it is touring around the country, it will not be delaying in your local multiplex and going up against overboard, unfortunately, but it is really something and there are dogs in it, but it is not turner and

hooch! i like that movie. you dvd of the week, it is an extraordinary film that you think about afterwards. phantom thread. i thought was amazing and beautiful and so well made without necessarily enjoying it. here is the thing with phantom thread. the final performance for daniel day lewis, apparently. i have now seen phantom thread seven times. five of them in the cinema. the first time i saw it, i liked it, the second time i loved it, the third time i thought, this is overtaking punch—drunk love, i am thinking i am weirdly obsessed with it and perhaps i'm not completely rational. a lot of people love it and there is something so striking about it. some people absolutely

hate it. i think it is... the first time you saw it, you admired but did not like it. i found it lived with me and! not like it. i found it lived with me and i take that as a positive and i love the performances. i have been neutral about daniel day lewis but i thought he was outstanding. here is my advice, watchet six more times and you will find it will really get its claws into you. that is my weekend sorted. thank you very much indeed. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/mark kermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week though. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello there. if you are choosing a

weekend to watch the same film six times, this might not be the one. it might be the weekend to get out and about and enjoy the sunshine because there will be plenty of that. that is how it looks in durham and that was the scene in glasgow, a bit of extra cloud, but not a bad day overall and look at what the temperatures do. i picked manchester just burn example. those temperatures getting into the high 20s going into next week, some spots could hit 30 degrees but with that, we not expecting any desperately hot nights, night—time temperatures will climb, but should not be too humid 01’ climb, but should not be too humid or sultry, not for the time being but back to the here and now, we have had a lot of sunshine today. there is that extra cloud that we saw in glasgow, extra cloud moving across northern ireland as well. temperature wise, those temperatures will hold up nicely between 16 and

22 degrees at seven o'clock. heading into this evening, once the sun goes down, it will turn cool and fresh, just like last night. you can see the green hues spreading across our temperature chart, towns and cities getting down to around seven, eight, 9 degrees that in the countryside, some spots could get down to one or 2 degrees. if you are out and about early on saturday, chilly start, but with high pressure firmly in charge, it will turn into another beautiful day. i say that, the far north of scotland will look different, that weather front dances through and it will bring more cloud, outbreaks of patchy rain at times, more of a breeze here, but

further south, we will see more sunshine. some areas of high and wispy cloud floating row, turning that sunshine hazy, but it should not spoil things, temperatures of between 17 and 22 degrees. perhaps 24 between 17 and 22 degrees. perhaps 2a in the south—east. not great news for hayfever sufferers, high pollen levels expected on saturday and sunday will be no different. less cloud in the far north, on sunday, more sunny cloud in the far north, on sunday, more sunny skies, i say enjoy, if you do not like the warmth too much, head to the coast. you can see from the temperature chart, the way the colours are lighter close to the coast line that shows that it will develop a sea breeze and slightly cooler air blowing onto some of the beaches but coming inland, 21 degrees in edinburgh, 2a or 25 in london trend continues into next week, some spots getting up into the high 20s, perhaps 30 degrees. that is all from me for now. tonight at 6:
