ahead of it, to defy brussels and go ahead of it, or not, and finally, as they used to say, the times, magnificent picture of the tower of london with the flames, the tortures, but the story to end on is the storyjust above that. basically, diners are to blame for wrecking number of restaurants going bust. iam not sure for wrecking number of restaurants going bust. i am not sure if the chap who wrote this article lived there, because he appears to think there, because he appears to think there is a lot of pop up restaurants p°ppin9 there is a lot of pop up restaurants p°pping up there is a lot of pop up restaurants popping up that have specialist themes, like duck dishes and japanese pancake. i was born in glasgow at the last time i was there i don't recall that being exactly the causing of glasgow. why all of these are closing, 1000 have closed in the past year. we have seen problems with gourmet burgers, at jamie 's problems with gourmet burgers, at jamie '5 italian. there may be something here. these chains, they do things one way and it works or to

11:47 pm
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 drama from mike leigh. 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 injuries. and we get in this film is the lead up of the events, all the players of people
11:48 pm
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's going to be a big march. aye, mother, at petersfield. outside, not indoors. no. in broad daylight. yes. on a monday. on a monday? i know, it's daft. second monday in august. not go to work? aye, they'll have to make do without us. we'll get the staff. not if all the mills turn out. playing with fire. no, mother this one will be different. different how? well, there's hundreds going, women and children an' all. we're to turn out in our sunday best. oh, well i'd best get me darning needles out then. aye, you should, same of rest of the street will be.
11:49 pm
i know they will. but so will that naidan and his bullies, the swine. they'll have to get past them. aye, but people have been practising marching peacefully. aren't they, father? aye, up on kersal moor they say. do they? aye, whole families. it's a day out for everybody. we've to stand up for ourselves, esther. we can't go on being afraid. i know, love, but we've all got to be careful though. he has this large cast. in the first hour there are a lot of conversations and characters. everyone gets to have their say. some people might feel it is moving slowly to something we know is coming. but because you get to know the characters and the issues and everything aired so clearly, by the time you get to the third
11:50 pm
act when the massacre happens, it is terrifying. it has the impact of a paul greengrass movie and it has real epic sweep. some people have 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. certainly the screening i was at, 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 right 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
11:51 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 that this 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 put this heist together. 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 cast. this should walk off for that. the way they capture the location of chicago with extreme poverty
11:52 pm
and extreme wealth cheek byjowl. and it is co—written by gillian flynn who wrote gone girl. 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 who you 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 and real problems. i think it is terrific and you will love it. i know you are friends with someone didn't love it. stop being friends with them. mirai, a japanese anime fantasy. yes by mamoru hosoda, the story starts with a young boy who discovers he is going to get
11:53 pm
a baby sister and he is thrilled. but as the drama goes on he discovers jealousies and a fantasy world in his garden, which is a portal to different views of time on his life. 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 bugs. dragonfly! and then i'll show you how you can see things in the clouds. there's 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?
11:54 pm
fine! 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 anime now this has been simultaneously released in english and the original version. as a critic, 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 to a younger audience as well. i thought it was moving and enchanting. the style of the animation at the start is light and yet many of the themes it is dealing with are quite dark.
11:55 pm
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, that all her friends think he is fabulous. because he isjoining in with 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 fantasia 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 9 to 5 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. it is terrific. have you seen it recently?
11:56 pm
not recently. in the dim and distant past. it is so funny and incredible how well 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. i don't think it was seen by enough people in the cinema. at the moment it is my favourite film of the year. you're so positive. you love everything!
