hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? we havejohn wick chapter three. birds of passage, a very impressive drama from columbia. and beats, a return to 90s rave culture. drama from columbia. and beats, a return to 905 rave culture. it called cerebellum ? return to 905 rave culture. it called cerebellum? because if you wa nt called cerebellum? because if you want peace prepare for war and most of what happens in thejohn wick movies is fighting. this picks up, have you followed the first two movies? no. this picks up at the end of the second one which is about to be excommunicated from the secret society of killers which once he is everybody will be trying to kill him, and as the $14 million price tag on his head, he cannot trust anyone except his dog. here is a

fairly low— key anyone except his dog. here is a fairly low—key clip from the film and it's one of the very few low—key moments. new york public library. you got it. change of plan. the continental. can you see that he is received by the concierge? yes sir, mr wick. good dog. good dog. so he gets the doctor safe so that he can engage the main business of the film that is

fighting two, three, ten, 20 people ata fighting two, three, ten, 20 people at a time. sometimes in a library attacking them with books and sometimes in a moroccan bazaar which dogs are involved. sometimes in a glass office entirely filled with glass office entirely filled with glass cases, entirely filled with glasses goals into which people can be smashed at regular intervals. in the interesting thing is it's very violent but in any movie violence kind of way. at one point there is an image of harold lloyd and actually it's like that kind of harold lloyd slapstick, it's physical performance. some people are sniffy about his acting but he's are sniffy about his acting but he's a great physical actor if you look at things like the matrix. the fight sequences are choreographed like a hollywood musical. if you ever saw the raid it's the same, it's like watching a musical dance number and happens to involve the fighting. the same way that sam raimi made the evil dad, it's not a horror movie is a 3—story —— stooges movie. it's a

film that's full of destruction. cinematic stylised destruction. i think it was really good fun. you get bored of that kind of violence. idid get bored of that kind of violence. i did not. in the previousjohn wick movies i have not enjoyed them as much, in the case of the matrix, i actually enjoyed this, there's a couple of locals. a couple of moments where you think you are getting exhausted with the sheer levels of fighting but actually one of the things i like about it is it ta kes of the things i like about it is it takes the physicality very seriously. they play on long shots. i like martial arts movies anyway andi i like martial arts movies anyway and i like the attention to detail. i like and i like the attention to detail. ilikea and i like the attention to detail. i like a good fighting. i struggle to think of another movie which involved death by book. there's kung fu, there's horse and dog. birds of

passage. about the colombian drug trade? a terrific drama from the makers of embrace the serpent. it has the epic sweep of the godfather but also as with embrace the serpent it's about indigenous people. how the emerging drug trade change the life of the people in northern columbia. starts of the young man who has asked for somebody‘s with their hand in marriage and to get their hand in marriage and to get the dowry he sells marijuana and discovers he can make a lot of money doing it. but with that wealth comes change, and everything comes at a price. the brilliant thing is it's almost like a poem. it has a narrative, but as you watch of the tones of the film, there an earthy natural tone at the beginning but as the film goes on those are kind of replaced by polyester shirts, the

glint of guns and the sound of gunfire. it's also a film the opens and closes with a song. there is a singing shepherd that is singing the story trying to remember this cultural story. much as i was talking before about john cultural story. much as i was talking before aboutjohn wick owing a debt to musicals, this was a brilliant soundtrack that seeps out from the ground. it's really rich and a really richly textured film, and a really richly textured film, and you can see it as a drama about the two people were about extended family, or you can see it as a whiter story about a country changing during this period. it is dark, and it is about the culture being lost, but i thought it was really... i think you'll like it. it is on my list already. beats. 1994, rave culture. were you a raver? no. me neither. school disco, does that count? willl don't

me neither. school disco, does that count? will i don't dance at all. it's about two teenagers in 1994 having one last hurrah before life ta kes having one last hurrah before life takes them different ways. timing is very important because 1994 was the criminaljustice act that sought to outlaw illegal raves and referring specifically to property meetings featuring music that consisted of a succession of repetitive beats. that's how the law defined it. to be governed is to be at every operation, noted, registered, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, authorise, admonish, prevented. corrected, watched, inspected, spiked and directed, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, in other words, listeners, sisters, brothers we they want us to get in line, but we they want us to get in line, but we won't cover the one is to be

afraid of each other but we are not. we are better than this. the only good system is a sound system and if i can't dance to it it's not my revolution. this is my revolution, listeners. this is. this one, this one, i dearly hope you will make it yours too. join us. one, i dearly hope you will make it yours too. join us. wendy! here, drink that. right. it's adapted from a stage play and being rewritten by the author i thought it was impressively done not least because i know nothing about rave culture and nothing about the music, i've never been to a rave but with the film manages to do is, as with birds of passage is a love story about these friends that will be torn apartand on these friends that will be torn apart and on the other hand if a wider thing about the changing political landscape. what it does is

manages to show you what's attractive about the raven. you so that was in black—and—white and when the music takes over it goes into this portion of colour which reminded me of the hallucinogenic sequences from the film altered states. and you believe in the characters. there really well played. and also had something come up played. and also had something come up with at the end of them, 1994 is the dog and of rave culture. that melancholia. it's really well done. people who know anything about rave culture say it's spot on in terms of its detail. for me it's as someone that was outside of that and the criminaljustice act amped up the video recordings act which if you area video recordings act which if you are a horror movie fan was a big deal. this was very well directed. it is an all black and white except when they are in the, when the music

is playing it suddenly goes into this explosion. it's really great because for the first time i understood the music. i thought 0k it does not just understood the music. i thought 0k it does notjust sound like to quote the law a succession of repetitive beats, it's something much more substantive. best out. there is a re—issue of doctor strangelove, we talked about clockwork orange being out. in the exhibition on at the design museum. a satire about the end of the world and insanity of nuclear weapons in the madness of international politics. it stars peter sellers in many roles and it's, i think it's really great black comedy. it has one of the best comedy lines of any film ever which is general, you can fight here, this is general, you can fight here, this is the war room. and to say about today's world? terrifyingly. it is

releva nt. today's world? terrifyingly. it is relevant. if the brilliant design. i like mary queen of scots. did not get universally good reviews. it's got great performances and has great directing. aside from one sequence that feels theatrical it has a really lovely score. you know how a great film score that can really lift a drama? is one of those things that i thought the score was very su btle that i thought the score was very subtle and filling in so much detail. i thought it was a really good piece of work. my editor that studied history was very crass because elizabeth meets mary... that is the one seen meets very theatrical they meet in what appears to bea theatrical they meet in what appears to be a laundry in the middle of nowhere. it's like an ancient laundry there walking between sheets. i know many historians of rate cross about that but that's the

one scene that strikes a wrong note. thank you very much indeed. good to see you. that's it for this week, thank you so much for watching at its goodbye from both of us. good evening. what a lovely date has been again across the northern half of the country and scotland where we see the highest apertures, more cloud and things for the south. it will be unsubtle for all areas and mixture of showers and warm spells of sunshine, it's not going to be a wash—out by any means. for tonight it looks like they will see the weather from moving after the it looks like they will see the weatherfrom moving after the north sea to bring a wet second half of the night and for the south apart from a few showers around should actually be a dryer with temperatures across the board no lower than eight or 9 degrees. very

different feeling day across the northern half of the country for saturday bricks of rain quite damp a picture here. for the south the best of the sunshine in wales it will feel quite warm but temperatures as the reach the high teens could spark ofa the reach the high teens could spark of a few heavy showers and it will feel cooler. similar picture on a sunday and will be a bit warmer with 20 degrees possible in the south.

for the conservatives and labour, trying to end the deadlock over brexit. theresa may could now ask mps to vote on the best way forward, as both sides blame each other for the collapse of negotiations. in particular, we haven't been able to overcome the fact that there isn't a common position in labour about whether they want to deliver brexit or hold a second referendum which could reverse it. the differences within the conservative party mean it's a government that is negotiating with no authority and no ability that i can see to actually deliver anything. but can parliament deliver a way forward with the house itself split on how best to handle brexit? also on the programme: despite a change in the law, cannabis—based drugs for severe epilepsy have been prescribed to just
