what do we have this week? we have "john wick three: pa rabellum". keanu reeves prepares for war. birds of passage, a very impressive drama from columbia. and beats, a return to ‘90s rave culture. so why‘s it called "parabellum"? 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, where he's about to be excommunicated from the secret society of killers, which once he is, everybody will be trying to kill him, and there's a $14 million price tag on his head. he can't trust 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's received by the concierge? yes sir, mr wick. good dog. so he gets the dog to safety so that he can engage in the main business of the film, which is fighting two, three, ten, 20 people at a time. sometimes in a library attacking them with books, and sometimes in a moroccan bazaar, in which dogs are involved. sometimes in a glass office entirely

filled with glass cases, entirely filled with glasses skulls into which people can be smashed at regular intervals. and the interesting thing is — it's very violent but in a 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 keanu reeves‘ acting, but he's a great physical actor — if you look at things like the matrix. he is really good at this stuff. 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 that happens to involve the fighting. the same way that sam raimi made the evil dead — he said, "it's not a horror movie, it's a three stooges movie with blood and guts standing in for custard pies." and although it's a film that's full of destruction, it's cinematic, stylised destruction. i must say, i think it was really good fun. be honest, do you get bored of that kind of violence?

i did not. in the previousjohn wicks, i have not enjoyed them as much. in the case of the matrix — which started at this really high point and tailed off — i actually enjoyed this the most. there's a couple of lulls, a couple of moments where you think you're getting exhausted with the sheer levels of fighting. but actually, one of the things i like about it is it takes its physicality very seriously. they play out in quite long shots. i like martial arts movies anyway, and i like the attention to detail. i like good fighting. i struggle to think of another movie which involved "death by book". it's interesting — there's kung fu, horse—fu, and dog—fu. so it's all the forms of fighting you can imagine. and book—fu? there you go. 0k, birds of passage — about the colombian drug trade? a terrific drama from the makers of embrace of the serpent. it's a film with the epic sweep

of the godfather, but also — as with embrace of the serpent — it's about indigenous people. it's about how the emerging drug trade changes the lives of the people in northern columbia. it starts with a young man who's asked for somebody‘s with their hand in marriage and told he needs to get the dowry, by which 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 tone poem. it has a narrative, but as you watch it, the tones of the film — there's an earthy, natural tone at the beginning, with bright and very vibrant colors. but as the film goes on, those are kind of replaced by garish polyester shirts, the glint of guns, and the sound of gunfire. it's also a film the opens and closes with song. there's a singing shepherd that is singing the story trying to remember this cultural story.

much as i was talking before aboutjohn wick owing a debt to musicals, this has a brilliant soundtrack that seeps up from the ground. it's really rich and a really richly textured film, and you can see it as a drama about the two people, or about extended family — or you can see it as a wider story about a country changing during this period. it's dark, and it is about the culture being lost, but i thought it was really — i think you'll like it. it's a really smart film. it's on my list already. now, beats — 1994, rave culture. were you a raver? no. me neither. laughter. school disco, does that count? well, i don't dance at all. it's about two teenagers in 1994 having one last rave—y 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 impromptu meetings featuring music that consisted of "a succession of repetitive beats". that's how the law defined it. let's have a clip. to be governed is to be at every operation, noted, registered, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, authorised, admonished, prevented, forbidden corrected, watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked. in other words, listeners, sisters, brothers — 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 one...

i dearly hope you will make it yours too. join us. wendy! 0i—oi! here, drink that. try to keep it together, all right? right. it's adapted from a stage play and being rewritten by the author, and 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 what the film manages to do is — as with birds of passage, it's a love story about these friends that will be torn apart. and on the other hand, it's a wider thing about the changing political landscape. what it does is it manages to show you what's attractive about the rave. you saw that was in black—and—white — there's a section when the music takes over it and goes into this explosion of colour, which reminded me of the hallucinogenic sequences from the ken russel‘s film,

altered states, which i love. and it also has the grit of a shane meadows film — you believe in the characters and their lives, they‘ re really well played. and also had something to do with — it's set at the end of — 1994 is the dog end of rave culture. so it has that melancholia of withnail & i. it's really well done and very affectionate. like i said, people who know anything about rave culture say it's spot—on in terms of its detail. for me, as someone that was outside of that — the criminaljustice act of 1994 actually amped up the video recordings act, which if you are a horror movie fan, was a big deal. this was very well directed. it is all in black—and—white? it is, except when they are in the — when the music is playing in the rave, it suddenly goes into this explosion. it's really great because — for the first time, i understood the music. i thought, "ok, i get it". it does notjust sound like,

to quote the law, "a succession of repetitive beats", it's something much more ecstatic than that. best out? there is a re—issue of dr strangelove — we talked about a clockwork orange being back out in cinemas. there's a kubrick retrospective at the british film institute, there's an exhibition on at the design museum. dr strangelove‘s a satire about the end of the world and insanity of nuclear weapons, and the madness of international politics. made in 1964? 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, "gentlemen, you can't fight here, this is the war room". but it's a really terrific movie. does it have anything to say about today's world at all? worryingly so. that's always terrifying. you look back at it and say, "wow, that is relevant". the design of the film is brilliant. best dvd? i like mary, queen of scots. i'm a fan of the movie, it didn't get universally good reviews.

it's got great performances by margot robbie and saoirse ronan, and it has great directing. aside from one sequence that feels theatrical, it's really cinematic and has a really lovely score by max richter. you know how a great film score can really lift the drama ? it was one of those things that i thought the score was very subtly filling in so much detail. i thought it was a really good piece of work. my editor who studied history was very cross because elizabeth meets mary, and that never happened. that is the one scene that's very theatrical. they meet in what appears to be a laundry in the middle of nowhere. like a laundrette? it's like an ancient laundrette, they're wafting between sheets. i know many historians are very cross about that, but that's the one scene that strikes a wrong note. artistic license. thank you very much, indeed. good to see you. that's it for this week, thank you so much for watching, and it's goodbye from both of us.

hello there. quite a bit of cloud around today and some showers as well, similar weather picture really as we start off the new working week. the temperatures at least over the next few days not doing too badly at all. back to those showers, well we are seeing some really heavy once forming ina seeing some really heavy once forming in a line from dorset across parts of the midlands and on towards lincolnshire, these are being caused by converging winds, those are the winds bashing together in this zone, forced to rise, that's where we are seeing these heavy downpours along this line of convergence, underneath those heavier showers, we see some really torrential downpour is actually across parts of the midlands. it also reports of a funnel cloud into lincolnshire, so the storms i've been pretty active today. overnight tonight, many of those showers will fade away, it will stay murky around our east coast, with fog patches for eastern

england from eastern areas of scotland, and a few showers continuing across the northwest, will be a close night with all of that cloud around, temperatures between 8—11dc. it does seem again, for monday, that for many of us it will be a pretty copies start to the day, the mist and fog patches lifting, although for most of us drive through the morning, for their showers will develop, a couple of these convergence zones that are expected to set up. one across eastern scotland, and another one running down into eastern parts of england, so those are the zones where you are most likely to see heavy showers, it will become foundry and slow in nature, one or two elsewhere. for example in parts of wales and northern ireland. between the showers, not feeling that in the sunshine. temperatures reaching a high of 20 degrees. now for monday into tuesday, we have a wea k for monday into tuesday, we have a weak weather from moving for monday into tuesday, we have a weak weatherfrom moving its for monday into tuesday, we have a weak weather from moving its way into northern scotland, that will bring a change in the weather here with some rain. high—pressure brings further west bringing quieter weather, building pressure for northern ireland for parts of western england and wales, probably the mid winds as well, it should be

largely dry with some sunshine. temperatures reaching a high of 21, across northern scotland, some thicker cloud here, slightly cooler weather, and a threat of a bit of rain around as well. into wednesday's forecast, an area of high pressure builds in further. so wednesday should be a quiet day for most parts of the country. a lot of dry weather with sunshine, the exception for northern scotland, where rain will work into the northern aisles. further southward, seeing highs up to 20 degrees. that's your latest weather. goodbye 00:14:31,173 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 for now.
