but in other parts of just in paris but in other parts of france as well. there have been a lot of children arrested would have been demonstrating haven't they? what you have is a snowballing protest. it started with the yellowjackets testing your prices, and now it has spread to education because the french government is trying to form an exam for six plumbers, and what to teachers and people are saying these exams are elitist, and as a result there are fewer people able to get into university. so you have this extraordinary picture which you will have to hold up again, of riot police forcing these young children to kneel on the ground, and shouted at them saying this is discipline or something. i suspect it's going to inflame tensions, and the things i was thinking about is this goes
10:46 pm
right back to the middle background's problem. —— emanuel macron's problem. he slept on a young french teenager, and said you president, at that moment scales fell from your eyes, macron isjust like all the others, he is arrogant. he is not something other than the establishment. this weekend, paris bay boarded—up shops, not opening and the museum is being forced to stay close because of tourists staying away. that is the kind of situation where if he keeps going on, this is the fourth wicket in a row, on, this is the fourth wicket in a fow, once on, this is the fourth wicket in a row, once again to 5—7 there is a question about when this is going to stop. —— for the weekend in a row... —— fourth... they have picked up comments on facebook that demonstrators are planning to bring guns. others are talking about a
10:47 pm
presidential push. one of the leaders has said his followers should depose president macron. we have 1968 all over again. we have the bastille. it is so violent, and it affects families. many people are injured. anotherforeign it affects families. many people are injured. another foreign story, friends with the ft. i forget to hold up up up there is a new name in politics. the nickname is akk for short. she is merkel‘s protege is that she is more socially conservative apparently, although she is the economically more left—wing candidate. she was the long standing merkel and ami, who
10:48 pm
akk defeated in the final round. whoever was going to secede merkel, she will inherit the problems that she will inherit the problems that she is leaving behind and the reputation she was in the party. yes or most noble position has proved herundoing, and there or most noble position has proved her undoing, and there is a president who passed the civil rights act in the late 19605, and president who passed the civil right5 act in the late 19605, and it cost the democrats and the southern 5tate5 cost the democrats and the southern states for generations, but it was the greatest thing he ever did, and a transform america, lyndon b johnson. it will be, she will look back and say i did one good thing. thank you very much, we will look again at the papers at half past 11, but next the film review. hello there and welcome to the film
10:49 pm
review here on bbc news, and taking us review here on bbc news, and taking us through this week's cinnamon releases his mark. what have become for us this week. very very good week. we have the old man and the gun, which may or may not be robert redford's final on screen. we have sorry to bother you a social economic satire which is a hit. get off of me. and white boy rick a true story with a great cast. so the old man and the gun, and robert redford what is he 82? know he is 112. i met him some years ago. i was really impressed, but he the best thing about him as he looked like he is
10:50 pm
age. he wears it fantastically well. as far as age. he wears it fantastically well. as farasi age. he wears it fantastically well. as far as i can tell he described this as his left thumb. he's been acting for such a long time without this is based on a true story on american career criminal and a perennialjailbreak or, so he is the old man of the title fool when his accomplices robbed small banks, they do it in accomplices robbed small banks, they do itina accomplices robbed small banks, they do it in a way that is low—key and very understated, and some kind of polite, it's almost as if people don't notice it has happened, and certainly the law don't notice it happened. here is a clip. 0h,
10:51 pm
oh, don't cry. what are you crying for? this is my first day. there is alway5 for? this is my first day. there is always a first time for everything. cheer up. you're doing a greatjob. and he's doing a greatjob. cheer up. you're doing a greatjob. and he's doing a great job. he is, super sparkly and twinkly. it is sharp films. what happens is he is committing these robberies with two accomplices, one played by danny glover, and one played by tom without up is that the relationship without up is that the relationship with sissy‘s character. she's is what you do? he says if i told you what you do? he says if i told you what i did you would not want to be associated with me. he sort of tells her that he is a bank robber, so she kind of knows and does as well.
10:52 pm
meanwhile, casey affleck buzz about the detective starts to realise that all these jobs from the over the hill gang all have a similar mo, and he starts to be on the tale. the art fantastic and you completely believe in them. you completely believe in them and they're really affectionately drawn, the way in which they talk and spend time each other is beautifully done. it's an ensemble cast, great work from the likes of tom waits and danny glover. the best thing is, kind of got a special feel to it, look back to butch cassidy and the sundance kid, we've seen him doing this before and that the just some of that stuff from his back catalogue, very cleverly. i just thought it was lovely. really charming, it's got a bit of an edge to it and the whole thing about it is his character does the stuff because it's kind of in love with that. it's kind of addicted to it.
10:53 pm
why is he smiling all the time? because he seems to enjoy what he's doing. it's very gentle but it's not fluff, it's very gentle but there is real substance to it and you really believe those characters and i thought it was wonderful. i smiled the whole way through. it is his last film, it's a fitting tribute to a great film career. yeah, and never say never, you know, the fact is i'm sure he'll have a million offers to do something else. but it would be a great note to end on, it is such a great film. sorry to bother you. it is basically this kind of surreal satire, set in an alternative present oakland. there is a young man who is struggling for rent, he takes a job as a telemarketer and he is told by danny glover, who was his workmate, your problem is you need to use your white voice. he says, what's that? the white voice that sounds relaxed and casual and as the voice which your callers think that they want to sound like. he does this and suddenly he starts climbing up the
10:54 pm
latter which puts him at odds with his friends that are going on strike. what the whole film is about is on one hand it is a satire about capitalism and modern slavery and the story about selling out and when you sell out, what you lose and what everyone around you loses. it is very funny, but it shifts slowly during the course of the movie from being a satire, into something that is much more surreal, it's starts to drift into the territory of a horror and science fiction inflections. if you think of something like, oh lucky man, the film that starts off as a tea salesman, but then becomes really weird. or, there is a film by brian yuzna, but if anyone has seen society and they loved it, this is very much on the same wavelength. some say they can't take the shift in tone, but i thought he was executed consistent. right from the beginning, that's a very strange surreal twist in tone to it,
10:55 pm
very funny, but assertive, but it was really good. white boy rick which is the story of a teenager who became an undercover informant for the fbi. apparently, the fbi‘s youngest informant at the age of 11; in the early 80s. so, which was such a beautiful film of that period. and here to have him as the kid, matthew mckay as his father, his grandparents and at the beginning we are introduced to them as a kind of disparate, dysfunctional family on the streets of detroit. here's a clip. dad! oh, chri5t. keep going, i've got it under control. you don't need to stop the car, everything is fine, don't get out of the car. everything is not fine! a man just ran out of your house, you don't have a damn thing under control! i hate you! i've got this under control! ain't under control! it looks like richard is having a bad day. no mum, i'm not having a bad day. my son and i walked
10:56 pm
to the lions den walked out with the golden fleece. ain't that right, ricky? that's right. you're pathetic! both of you! and put some clothes on, will you? we're going for cu5tard! i love matthew. such a good actor. that whole ensemble, its out—of—control exec think it's great. for 71, brilliant implication of 70s, close to the 1980s detroit. the story is one of crime and guns and drugs, but what is primarily interesting is the family and the fact of the very beginning we are introduced to the young kid going into a gun show with his father and he is very much learned the ropes from his dad and passed on the skills, but these skills get them into a lifestyle which is very wracked with danger and misery. and what i liked about it was the film has a very kind of strange noodling field to the narrative. it is based on a true story. but you find yourself being more involved in the
10:57 pm
interrelationships between the characters than the actual gun sales in the drug sales so that sort of thing. terrific as the fbi see him on the street and think, we can use them. it's also very interesting and it takes a family with a dunk abuse very sort of talk of an accident with some pews very sort of talk of an accident if the characters are sympathetic. you do see the world from their point of view, there is one point where he says we have to do something. look at the way we live. he says crash the car. we have to do something to get out of this. it's not for everybody, it will struggle to find an audience, but that was pretty impressive. and that the use of a good director. best out at the moment. well, still shoplifters which is a film that was a prizewinner at cannes. and again, a story of people living in the margins of society in tokyo and again, it begins with what you think is a father and son, the father teaches the son shoplifting, why do you teach them to shoplift?
10:58 pm
because it's what i know. that's what i do and it very human and i really liked it, again ijust think about spending time with characters that you believe in. i thought it was a really good film with a very dark heart to it. i enjoy disobedience, which you recommended. yes, it's great. terrific performances the accent, you're not entirely sold on. variable. but overall, it was really good. and again, very difficult subject to put on film, and i thought they were completely convincing. i absolutely believed in them as well. well worth a watch. best dvd. mission impossible fallout, the thing is, who knew the mission impossible series is just going to get better and better? and... how many have there been by the way? ..i think seven now, but the thing about this is, it is not ironic. it is a proper nuts and bolts edge of your seat, action thriller and it's got fantastically executed set pieces but what i really like about it,
10:59 pm
it's very modern the way it's shot. it feels very physical and oddly old—fashioned for all its modern trappings and i just thought it was terrific. it moves like a bullet and it's a really good film and tom cruise is great in that role. i know he's not for everything and not for everyone, but he's really good in that role and he has seen this franchise from strength to strength. he's hurt himself so badly doing all the stunts. the stunt in which he hurt himself is in the film, and because he seen so much behind the scenes footage, we see it in the film, you feel the pain. mark, thank you very much. a quick reminder before we go you'll find more film news and reviews from across a bbc bbc.co.uk/ mark kermode. you can find our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that is it, thank you so much and goodbye from us. this is bbc news,
