a very good reporter, steve burt on a very good reporter, says there is one every a0 minutes into an english jail. says there is one every a0 minutes into an englishjail. so lags says there is one every a0 minutes into an english jail. so lags are looking for more ingenious ways to get out ofjail. here is one of them, they are being taken out in an ambulance, really. again, it kind of relates back to the story in the observer, where there are problems in society. this is a big problem in society. again, on the outside, but ironically, on the inside as well. and rehabilitation schemes are in pressure short supply? it is another example of a knock—on effect because the prisons are not being adequately resourced and run and so you get a knock—on effect on to the health service and so the cost gets worse, actually. yes. and the human cost as well. indeed. that was the papers, don't forget, you can watch the front pages our website. if you missed the programme
11:46 pm
any evening, and i know you would not, but you can watch it later on the iplayer. martin. john. lovely to see you both. the full review is next. good night. the film review is next. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is anna smith. it is nice to see you, president of the critics' circle. what have you been watching? this week is an interesting week. we are starting with cold war, taking place in poland and paris and an interesting story of a troubled relationship between a musician and singer. then we are off to sanjose with searching, a missing person
11:47 pm
thriller told entirely on computer screens. and we have yardie, idris elba's long—awaited directorial debut. much excitement about that one. let's start with cold war. it looks beautiful. this is the arthouse choice of the week, if you want to see a quality film. i always look forward to the work of pawel pawlikowski. he isa he is a tremendous director. last resort was wonderful. my summer of love, where we first met emily blunt. yes, a fantastic film. and he recently worked on ida, which is similar because it was also shot in black and white. this is shot in black and white and is the story of a relationship between a musician and younger muse who catches his eye when doing auditions for a folk troupe touring
11:48 pm
the eastern bloc in the late ‘a0s, early ‘50s. they are separated and come back together over the years and the film follows the progress of their relationship and drops in and out of the tumultuous relationship. there are moments when there is a lot of action in the film. most of the time, it is bleak, but this clip gives you a lively sense of the personality of zula. rock around the clock by bill haley plays. a few too many martinis! she is good at playing drunk. imust i must say, she is very good at that. the main actress trained as a musician and music was her background and i assume this is a reason she was chosen. she ended up on a polish tv competition which is how she gained her fame and this echoes that because she is part of this grim x factor in postwar poland. the action moves to paris and it gets more interesting and lost me a little bit, because i always need to feel invested in a central romance. i need to believe they belong together.
11:49 pm
i need to lie their relationship. , buy. she is stunningly beautiful and many people will be falling in love with her, but it is very much from the male character's point of view. maybe that is a reason i was not won over. these are selfish people, who do not help each other in relationships. they make self—serving and mysterious choices. but it is beautifully shot. and a deliberate policy to be black and white, i mean, i know it runs from the ‘a0s to ‘60s. very deliberate. i think it was a stylish choice. i walked out of the screening and suddenly the world looks strange in colour. it was so evocative. i am interested in the next one, an interesting idea. does it work? searching is shown entirely on computer screens. whether it's laptops, phones, facetime which has happened before in the horror movie genre, but this is not a horror movie. you know me well!
11:50 pm
this is a thriller about a missing child. it starts off giving you a lovely montage of an asian american family in sanjose, who sadly, the mother passes away, and the daughter grows up and goes missing as a teenager and the father is given the task of looking online, trying to find out... looking at her search history, what might be going on, whether she has run away, was she hanging out with unsavoury characters online? every parent's worst nightmare going through his head. an fbi agent helps to track her down. it was remarkably effective, and you sort of forget you are watching one computer screen in the main. it is like looking over someone's shoulder at something interesting on the computer. does it last for the duration of the feature film? it does. i have seen it twice and it got me both times, first time you enjoy the story,
11:51 pm
it is a tight thriller. it is not a violent thriller, which is great. there are things that look like jokes, but they are great big clues, so keep your eyes peeled. we must talk about idris elba, people are excited he is turning to directing. i would love to say it is fantastic. it is a so—so one from me, but he has not done too badly, a solid debut. yardie the book was a cult hit in the 90s when people sold it from record shops and the back of vans. it is about 1970s jamaica and moving into 1980s hackney. aml ameen is terrific in the lead role. we will see in the clip that his character, d, comes to the uk to deal drugs but falls back into family life with his ex—girlfriend and child. ah.
11:52 pm
that good. i never tink i would feel the sun on mi face again, you know. d, the first time i come this cold place, mi think mi just shrivel up and die. go on, i'll take you back home. yeah, i mek enough money i could buy a house for the tree of you. d. any of them you like by the sea, any of them. d. come now. this place is not like home at all, but mi feel safe. here? here. (siren wails). i won't go back. not even for by the sea. not even for that. come, we're going home. but i want to stay! mummy has work, vanessa. she can stay with me. by the sea. he—he! decent performances and a nice sense of time and place. i found some of the dialogue a little bit too straightforward and the film relies on drama than clever touches or comedy. it is worth seeing and
11:53 pm
wonderful he has done this. and something we do not see much on film but a long way to go in terms of directing. very much recreating the hackney he grew up in. it is nice on a human level he recreated his life story. and it will go down a storm in hackney, definitely. idris elba's directorial debut. now, best out. i have not seen this. i have seen the trailer. even the trailer, i was slightly cringing. even though kate mckinnon is talented. i would agree because i saw the trailer and thought i was not looking forward to. it is of the few better than the trailer. kate mckinnon is brilliant, from ghostbusters. all of these surrealist sites that
11:54 pm
she doesn't really filthy humour but really human humour. it is mila kunis who finds out her boyfriend was a spy. they go on the run and they have various missions. hence the spy who dumped me, that is the title, after all! what i liked about this, they are two women you believe are friends. their characters and relationship drives the film, and on that level a lot of fun and better than you think. that is going on the poster! i suppose that is a fun thing about it. how often do we have two women as the central characters in this style of film ? and a female director in the form of suzanne vogel. looking forward to see what she does next. and dvd? tully will keep you guessing. i really enjoyed it. they worked together on juno, which is the pregnancy one and this is the motherhood one.
11:55 pm
juno was one of my favourite films! charlize theron needs a night nanny. and the night nanny comes in and it is about a charismatic nanny that comes in, but what is she up to? is there an element of the hand that rocks the cradle? they are all talented. that is a winner. that is your dvd for the week if you fancy staying in. nice to see you. enjoy your cinemagoing whatever you decide to see. an interesting week and plenty to go and watch. see you next time. goodbye. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello.
