this man is a dissatisfied persimmon homeowner in harrow where he was sold his property leasehold while neighbours later bought their homes with a more valuable freehold. well, i'm not surprised. but i'm angry. i'm absolutely angry about this 75 million. basically this whole development is his bonus. if he can get a 75 million bonus, i don't understand why they can't give us a freehold for free. persimmon built the foundations for this pay controversy five years ago with a new long—term incentive scheme. for these bosses, the higher the share price the higher the bonus and, boy, did the share price soar. it was fuelled by the government's help to buy scheme which encourages first—time buyers onto the property ladder. it was this which helped push up demand, prices and persimmon‘s profits. there has been no comment from the company or mr fairburn today, though he has previously said he would donate some of his bonus to charity. with hindsight, saying so here might have gone down better than walking away.

talking us through this week's cinema releases as ever is mark kermode. what have you got for us this week? very interesting week. we have fahrenheit 11/9, a new documentary by michael moore. we have dogman, a cannes prizewinner from matteo garrone. and they shall not grow old, and extraordinary great war documentary by peter jackson. so, fahrenheit 11/9, michael moore of course a great polemicist. is this just trump in his line of fire in this film? not entirely. so the title is an inverted fahrenheit 911, which itself was a play on fahrenheit a51.

the 11/9 refers to drop‘s election. the film begins in the old fashion of how did we get here? what then basically does is investigate the way that both democrats and republicans have kind of abandoned a disenfranchised portion of america and what michael moore argues is that when that kind of thing happens, that's when you get the rise of trump. it's at its best when it is investigating specific examples such as he goes back to the flint michigan water crisis in which the pursuit of money essentially met the people ended up drinking poisoned water and politicians did not act well. in fact, there was what amounts to a cover—up. here is a clip. this is a april cook hawkins. she was asked to participate in cover—up. i was the case manager in michigan. all the results in regards to the blood levels, i put in those numbers and made sure all them are correct. while doing so, she discovered

that the government officials had cooked the books. my supervisor asked if i would go in and help them out with the numbers, and not showing certain things. if someone came in high the health department did not want that number to be shown. she began keeping falsified records and was afraid to show them to anyone. until she got them to me. is this an actual document? does it count as a piece of evidence? yes. the normal is 3.5 and anything above 3.5 is considered a high level. six, six, five, six, five, five, six, seven, ten, six, eight, six, six,14. not a single number that says 3.5 lower? no. how does this compare to michael moore's other films? it doesn't have anything like the impact of the film to which the title refers, which i think went on to become the biggest selling documentary of all time, and it's questionable as to what effect it will actually have. the interesting thing is, what i like

about it is, it has less grandstanding and less stunts than his previous documentaries have, which i think is sometimes borderline flippant. there was also some uncharacteristic soul—searching from michael moore. he talks about his own relationship with some of these figures. we actually get to see him on roseanne some years ago with donald trump in which he admits, i went really easy on him, i went soft because they asked me to. i think it is sincere, passionate. i think the most important thing is it suggests there is a younger generation of people coming through who will refuse to be mistreated, who michael moore suggests are the future of the country and the beginning of a brighterfuture but i do not think it'll have anything like the impact of the film to which the title refers. ok, now, we've also got they shall not grow old which is a film by peterjackson and we will come to that in a minute but let's do dogman as well.

tell us about that. this is from matteo garrone. the maker of gammorah. very gritty. a reality which is a very strange film about reality tv and tail of tells. this takes a little bit back to gamorrah. it is about a dog groomer who has a job on a desolate seafront. he wants to be liked by his neighbours, he wants to be liked by his daughter. he has an ingratiating smile but he also has the manner of a dog that has been beaten by headmaster and wants to please him but is also caring. he is believed by the steroid fahd who everyone knows is terrible, everyone knows they must do something about him but nobody will and in the end, marcello is the person who has to deal with him. what i really like about this, firstly, it has a brilliant sense of medication, it has real tragedy in it and real pathos.

at the centre of it, is the actor who won the best actor award at cannes, i think deservedly so. i think it is a really terrific film and he holds the whole film together and is really the emotional core of it. a very deserving best actor winner. they shall not grow old this is peterjackson, famously the director. you're interviewing him about this the other day and this is a fascinating project. yeah, so, the imperialwar museum had at him to do something new with archive footage for the centenary of the armistice. he looked at the footage and not actually the best thing to do would be to try and bring it up to date, take old black and white, silent footage and process it you make it look as contemporary as possible. what they did was, correct the speed, because you know old, silent films run at various speeds, often look a little bitjerky, cleaning up the image, then doing a colourisation process which is done with incredible attention to detail, and finally actually getting actors to lip sync... they got lip readers to sort to figure out what people on screen were saying at actors to fill in the blanks and then we hear, no narration but the voices of veterans that were recorded actually by a bbc archive and the whole thing comes together

in an extraordinarily vivid portrait of these events, which reflects notjust the horror of the war, but also, i think there is an important part of the documentary, the strange sense, at least at the beginning, of adventure. here's a clip. you lived like tramps. wore any uniform, bits that you like. all they were concerned with was that you are fit to fight. if nothing was happening coming to chat about where he came from, where he came from. everything was friendly. it was a terrific amount of kindness, in a way, to each person. when there was not a war active, it was really rather fun to be on the front line. it was not very dangerous, so like a public camping holiday with the boys, with a slice of danger to make it interesting. does the fact that it is sort of no longer stuttering black and white, does it make you empathise with these guys on the front line? i think it does exactly that. we are used to seeing... some of the images we have seen before, we're used to seeing them as black—and—white footage, historical document, but the speed thing is very important but also because it looks like old, grainy,

black—and—white footage but if you look the camera that the battle of the somme was shot on, it is a big wooden box. yet suddenly, with processing, it looks contemporary, and brings it all closer and the first time i saw it, there is a section that goes from black—and—white to colour the media and audible gasp in the auditorium. it is so much more than a gimmick. it is something that actually puts the humanity back into that footage. it is an extraordinary use of technology to to restore the human element to footage that we thought we had seen but then somehow comes alive. this trench footage that... it looks like it was shot yesterday. we see faces, you see the pictures of how young they are, you see the smiles and the frantic feel, they feel like real individual people, not just figures from archive footage. jackson said very clearly, this is not a documentary about war, it's a story of those men. it is emotionally overwhelming. i think it is a real passionate project and a real labour of love,

and either the interview with peter jackson when he played it and they were going to show it to schoolchildren, i think it'll have a huge effect. anyone who sees it will be really affected by it. it is like a compressed history of cinema, ridges of technology put together. what did he say about why he wanted to do this so much? he has been interested in the first world war for a very long time and it was the opportunity because the imperial war museum is evolving. he said the centenary is only going to come around once and he had this... what he did was, because peter jackson has worked so much with technology, he wanted to know what it could do. how could we make this with footage come alive? he said they did a test wheel and when they did that, they looked at it and went, that is astonishing. and it really... believe me, it is really breathtaking. you've never seen anything like it. it's an amazing artistic and technical achievement. yes, i thought so. stunning. so powerfully moving. 0k, thank you, mark. best at the moment? i love first man.

have you seen this yet? going to see it this weekend. here is the thing, it's not a movie about space, it's not a movie about the moon, it's a movie about the loneliness and grief that happens to have a spaceship in the middle of it and i thought it was... again, i thought it was wonderful. i know some people said why is it so downbeat? because it is an internal story thatjust happens to be about the moon landing. the other thing about it is, it really captures that sense that the space rockets were held together with rivets and screws, and old flicks switches, you are in a tin can on a massive amount of fuel. the bravery involved in it is quite extreme. incredible courage, yes. i loved it, really love it. ok, i'm looking forward to that. and best dvd? just briefly, the happy prince. i mention this because it is an interesting film. rupert everett directs and stars in a film about the last years and indeed days of oscar wilde. while i don't think it's dramatically perfect, every now and it again come easy a film and you think, this is made with passion and care, and something you can feel in every frame.

for all the things that are not... don't quite work in the film, i think it has a real sincerity and a real honesty about it. i mean, it is a slightly flawed work but i admire its intentions and you can tell it as a heartfelt project. i'd always rather watch something that looked like someone really year—end to make it than something polished but felt a little bit careless. mark, fantastic. thank you so much. a quick reminder before we go that you will find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc .co .uk slash mark kermode. you can find all previous programmes, of course the bbc iplayer. that is it for this week. thanks so much for watching. goodbye. hello. we've had some beautiful sunny skies across the uk. regularly
