but don't forget that you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, rob merrick and anne ashworth. from all of us, thank you for watching. next on bbc news it's time for the film review. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases, mark kermode. hello. hi. mixed bag this week. we have tell it to the bees, which is a new british drama. we have the lion king. is it live—action or animation? and varda by agnes — a film maker looks back on her life and career.

let's start with tell it to the bees, which is adapted from a book by fiona shaw which i confess i have not read. i know you have seen the film... i have not read the novel either, actually. we are both working on just the basis of the film. holliday grainger is lydia, who is raising her son on her own in rural scotland. she finds herself homeless, and this new doctor — actually, returning doctor, jean, played by anna paquin — offers her a housekeeperjob because she doesn't have anywhere else to live. so she moves in, and the two women become very friendly. this kind of story is seen through the eyes of the young son. in the beginning, there is a voiceover of what did he see, what didn't he see? he becomes particularly fascinated by the fact, in the garden there is a hive of bees, and he's really interested in the way in which the bees live together in their society, and he is told by anna paquin's character, you tell your secret to the bees, which i think is where the title comes from. the bees sort of seem

to serve a larger role which is both mirroring and, in some cases, actually moving on the story. here's a clip. oi, oi! get off! oh, it's on me! get it off me! stay still. no. we mustn't. what did you do to the bees? no, nothing, i, erm... so... and this is the ‘505. it's a period drama but i do think it still has some relevance,

because it talks about some pretty tough subjects. it talks about homophobia, it talks about racism, it talks about domestic abuse. it does all of those things quite frankly. it is sort of upfront about them. there are a couple of scenes in the film that did make me wince because they are kind of tough. my problem is this. i didn't that it's very well—intentioned, and i think it's solidly played. i'm not entirely sure that, on the screen, the bee metaphor works, because up to a point, there is this idea of the discussion, you're telling your secrets to the bees, the hive mind. it's fine. there are moments, however, in which the bees to start to play an active part in the narrative, in which i did think this is falling apart... it was a bit peculiar, that point, wasn't it? the bee element was quite lovely with the little boy at the beginning, and then towards the end, you think, not sure where this is going! the more it was kind of happening in the background, as a counterpoint to the main story, the better it worked. when it actually became part of the story,

it was less successful. that said, i think its heart is in the right place, and i think it is at least striving to tell a story in an adventurous way. i would rather watch something try to do something and fail then just simply play it safe. i think some of the performances are not quite as great as they perhaps ought to be, i think that's partly due with actors wrestling with accents which are not their own. yes, i agree. i kind of wanted to be... i wanted to be better! but i think there are still things, and there are individual moments in it which i think, oh, they work really well. individual moments of real electricity and spark, and kate dickie‘s in it, and i love kate dickie in absolutely everything. she is fantastic. she is flinty in this for them. very, very stern. she is aggressive and we don't mess with her. no, you don't. the lion king. why? why is it being remade?

explain. well, i think the most obvious reason, live—action disney remakes are making a tonne of money. they are doing really well. in the case of this, this is kind of billed as live—action. it is not live—action. it is animated. everything you're saying on the screen is animation. the whole thing is done in a virtual reality environment in which the cameras are moving around in virtual reality but it is all completely computer—generated. it's photorealist animation. and what this does is, you can create a photoreal version of an antelope or a lion, or a lion cub. the only thing is, they look like real animals but they are talking in singing, and i have a slight conceptual problem with this. if you see a cartoon talking and singing, it is fine because you understand. if you see the stage production of the lion king, your mind is filling some of the gaps. you cannot fault it technically. it is breathtaking. the environment is the best sort of realised environment on screen you can possibly imagine, but it is... it's like a david attenborough documentary, and they're all singing. it's just weird! i am personally a great fan of old, traditional animation. i never watched an old

animated film and thought, i wish it was more real. this is something very new and it is kind of ground—breaking. this is real cutting edge stuff, and it's made byjon favreau, who made jungle book, which did have a human character. it is very strange. i am not entirely convinced by it. people might think they would only like if they're obsessed with cinema! i don't know anyone like that! this is varda by agnes. it's agnes varda's final film, looking at her life, her extraordinary career. she's talking sometimes to an audience, sometimes she's talking to the camera, and so we get clips from her films. we get encounters of people who remember working with her, and how tough she was. when you see the film, what comes across as her generosity of spirit, her enthusiasm forfilm, her enthusiasm for the medium and also her great love of beaches. and she says this thing about "a beach is the opposite of a wall," which is a phrase which wins me over. here's a clip.

it's so enchanting, and i did not actually expect to be enchanted, but there's something really... did you think it was going to be hard work and sort of...? i thought you would have to be really, super knowledgeable about her work to get some thing out of it, and you don't have to, because i am not. and yet, she is delightful to listen to. it shows you just as much as you need of the clips to make you think, i want to see that film — particularly the

robert de niro film. she said, it's so great i got robert de niro. the film flopped, doesn't matter — i got robert de niro for a day! she says this thing about all film—making comes down to three things, and its inspiration, creation and then sharing. inspiration is where the film comes from, creation's how you make it and sharing is showing it to the audience. i love the fact she loves cinema, she loves the audience engaging with the cinema. she does these artworks, installations — did, herfinalfilm — you get a portion of somebody, her enthusiasm, her intelligence, her empathy. i thought the film was great fun. there's many laughs in it. it's really funny and playful and witty. i thought it was really, really charming. an absolute delight. best out this week? i really, really love only you, which is the debut feautre by harry wootliff. i think she has done a greatjob of telling this story. about a relationship between two people, a slightly younger man, a slightly older woman. the woman thinks that their relationship is going to be unbalanced, out of sync, but he is the one who thinks, i think we should start a family. about what happens when something which is an idea turns into a demand. brilliant. i love the performances. fantastic, yes. it feels so intimate! and so honest! i absolutely believed in the characters! you loved it, too, right? not quite as much is you, and we don't have time

to explain why, but the performances were fantastic. fantastic. captain marvel. i've watched it! this will surprise you. captain marvel, i did. i married someone who loves superhero movies. what was their verdict on it? she loved it. i loved it for about two thirds of it and then went, oh, is it still on? it felt a little bit long. when it came out, a lot of people saying, it cannot work, it has not enough blokes in it. and how dare they! and of course, it's been a runaway success. the reason i've chosen it on dvd is, i want to see it again. in cinema, i thought it was fine. i felt the same thing as you. two—thirds of the way... but i want to see it again because it's been such a runaway hit. i think there's stuff in there that i probably missed first time around. brie larson was good. brie larson is great! i think brie larson is really good, and i think she's got a great sense of humour as well. thank you very much. see you again soon. that is it for this week. see you next time. bye— bye.

the many schoolchildren it is the first week of school holidays and all eyes on the temperature the next few days because things are turning hot and few days because things are turning hotand humid. few days because things are turning hot and humid. a few days because things are turning hotand humid. a bit of few days because things are turning hot and humid. a bit of rain around particularly in the north—west. later, some thundery downpours with all that heat and humidity. we've got high pressure anchored out towards the east because the area is rotating around, this hotair around continental europe and in paris, temperatures possibly of 42, the hottest temperature ever recorded in the french capital. we got this cloud streaming in from the atlantic. some outbreaks of rain earlier on across parts of northern ireland and across parts of northern england. quite windy in the north.

further south, it stays mostly dry but fairly cloudy through tonight. monday morning, murky first thing but mild from the world go. not quite as muggy and humid as it will be overnight. starting monday, the rain will clearfairly be overnight. starting monday, the rain will clear fairly quickly but will sit across the western half of scotland. bringing some localised flooding but for the rest of the uk, the sunshine breaks during the afternoon. a bit less breezy than it was. temperatures 28 or 29 and the warmest spots. for northern ireland and scotland, 22— 25 celsius. by the time we get to tuesday, we will have lost that rain. lots of sunshine, gentle southerly breeze. all that hotair, we are likely to see the temperatures in the low to mid 30s.

it's not just hot temperatures in the low to mid 30s. it's notjust hot by david overnight as well, if you are heading to bed about ten o'clock, look at these temperatures. not far off 30 celsius. you may also notice a few heavy showers, particularly a few more later in the week. temperatures will continue to rise by the time we get to thursday. these thunderstorms are fairly hard to pinpoint so over the next few days, keep your eye on the next few days, keep your eye on the forecast.
