to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? it is a packed week with peterloo, the epic draw ma from mike leigh. —— drama. widows, which is an update of the miniseries from the 80s and mirai, a charming animation. peterloo, a massacre back in 1819. interestingly, mike leigh said one reason he wanted to make the film is not enough people knew about it. he said he wasn't taught about it at school. it was a peaceful demonstration, people demanding suffrage and better conditions, which was attacked by cavalry and there were deaths and terrible injurives.

and we get is a beta but the event in this film. all the players of people who will be at the march and the protest. and the forces ranging against him. it starts on the battlefield. we see a traumatised soldier return to his home land and finding famine and he said we want a speaker to address the meeting. but his mother is sceptical that doing this is going to have any practical effect. here is a clip. there is going to be a big march? there is going to be a big march? the i... there is going to be a big march? thei... in there is going to be a big march? the i... in broad daylight who's who yes. agreement on a monday, that is staffed. second monday in august. get the sack! playing with fire
8:48 pm
grisons this one will be different separate different how? hundreds of people going, women and children. rory mcilroy i best get my needles out then send us a mistress history will be stopping i know they will but so will those bullies, the swine. they will have to get past them. people have been marching peacefully. it is a everybody. we must stand up for ourselves. we can't go on being afraid. must stand up for ourselves. we can't go on being afraidli must stand up for ourselves. we can't go on being afraid. i know love but we all have got to be careful though. he has this large cast.
8:49 pm
in the first hour there are a lot of conversations and characters. everyone gets to have their see. some people might feel it is moving slowly to something we know is coming. because you get to know the characters and the issues and everything aired so clearly, by the time you get to the third act the massacre, it is terrifying. it has the impact of a paul greengrass movie and it has real epic sweep. some people have said some people said mike leigh is famous for dramas which centre on single characters. you forget mr turner or topsy turvy of the gilbert and sullivan operas. i thought it was powerful. people came out at the end and were stunned by it. i think it is interesting that mike leigh said he wanted to tell this story, because it is an important story people should know about and what it manages to do is make the past seem very contemporary and he puts you there in the middle of the situation. although it is true it is a movie that takes its time and is quite wordy, when you get to the final
8:50 pm
act, you understand why. i'm definitely going to see it. one of my friends is it in. he is a cavalry officer. widows, i remember the tv series. it was riveting. is this as good? i think it is better. everyone was surprised when steve mcqueen said he would update this story. he updates it to present—day chicago with a group of women whose husbands are involved in crime and they have died and the women have the plans for a heist that didn't happen. now they will see if they can pull this sky stuff. i love so much about this. firstly, it has a cast who are brilliant. viola davis is stand out. but the entire cast is brilliant. some some award ceremonies they have an award for ensemble companies.
8:51 pm
the way they capture the location of chicago with extreme poverty and extreme wealth cheek byjowl. the screen writing is sharp. it is not overly explanatory. but it is really riveting. i like a good heist movie. i did a tv programme about heist movies. but this turns it on its head. like that film set it off, it gives you a group of characters we would not expect to be front and centre in a heist movie and you get to know their lives and situation and these are real women with real lives. i think it is terrific and you will love it. i know you are friends with didn't love it. stop being friends with emthis.

—— them. mirai. yes by mamoru hosoda, the story starts with a young boy who discovered he is going to get a baby sister and he is thrilled. but as the drama goes on he finds jealous sis and a fantasy world in his garden, which is a portal to different views of time on his life. —— he has jealousies. at the start all he wants to do his show his sibling the world. here is a clip. i'm your big brother, so i'm going to teach you a lot of different stuff, ok? first i'll take you outside and i'm going to teach you the names of all the birds. dragonfly! and then i'll show you how you can see things in the clouds. a scorpion! see? and that one... she's too little to take her outside just yet. you can take her when she's a bit bigger, all right? fine!
8:53 pm
the witch and mr moustache. "the witch was woken up by mr moustache so she got mad and chased him. and mr moustache ran. he got away byjumping on a train on the line. then the witch tried to follow him byjumping on a different line on the km line but the two trains went in different directions at the stakes and they got stuck for ages." knock it off! that is the english language dub. like many this has been simultaneously released in english and the original version. i tend to prefer the original language version, but there are many good versions for seeing the dubbed version. some people do not want to read subtitles and it opens up a younger
8:54 pm
audience as well. i thought it was moving and enchanting. the animation at the start is light and yet many of the themes it is dealing with are quite dark. there is a beautiful portrayal of the mother and father and this slight tetchiness between them. the father is trying to to be a good father, but he is not doing as much as he should and the mother is annoyed with him, but all her friends think he is fabulous. because he isjoining them in the childcare but he is not doing anything as much as she is. i also think if you have kids you will recognise the rivalries between the siblings and it is the fine line between imagination and fantasy and it is grounded in things you recognise as being real. so i really liked it. jolly good. best out? the bfi have a season called comedy genius and reissuing nine to five and some like it hot, that is considered by some to be not just the best comedy ever made, but the best movie ever made.
8:55 pm
it is terrific. have you seen it recently? no. in the dim and dispant past. it is so funny and incredible how it holds up. it is so sharp and very racy and very on the edge of what you think that kind of movie can get away with. i think it is terrific. worth another look. best dvd? leave no trace about a father and daughter living off grid and being found by the authorities and how they then react to being found and brought back into society. i thought this was wonderful. it is made be the same film maker who made winter's bone. i love when a film explains itself without somebody saying, "this is happening here." that never happens in leave no trace.
8:56 pm
