very interesting week. we have rojo a film set in argentina about corruption. we have it: chapter two, following in the footsteps of the biggest horror film of all—time. and we have the shiny shrimps, a story about a swimming team with a difference. so, rojo, a director i'm not familiar with. should i be? he has made films before, but this is a breakthrough feature. it is a story set in argentina in the run—up to the coup. we open with a shot of a house being emptied of all is possessions and we are not entirely sure why. we then cut to a scene in a restaurant of a man who seems very cultured, he is a lawyer, he is sitting at a restaurant table waiting to have his meal, but his wife is late. somebody says i need the table, because you're not actually eating. he says fine and stands up, he then proceeds to chastise the other guy, as he explains that he would only do that because he is rude and he

eviscerates the man in front of a crowd. outside on the street afterwards, they meet. here is a clip.

i am already quite tense and i do not even know what happens. unsurprisingly, the encounter does not end well. the central character is in quite a dilemma. whether to do the honourable thing, whether to bury what has happened and try to pretend it did not happen. the film then becomes a story that is unfolding in a land in which people are disappearing. in which sinisterforces are at work, but the bourgeois middle—class are pretending it is not happening. you get a collision between on one hand a satire of bourgeois middle—class life, full of tennis and dinner parties, and on the other hand this creeping sense of real horror around the edges of it. a detective turned up to investigate a case in which the central character was involved. he is a tv detective, he is notjust a detective, he is a television personality. the whole film, what i really like about it, there is a knife edge between on the one hand it is chilling and on the other it is satirical. it obviously has a strong

political undercurrent, but the best thing about it is you do not have to know that in advance. i use this prhrase all the time, show do not tell do not have a film in which somebody gets up and explains the plot. it is one of those films which creeps up on you. you could probably interpret it in many different ways, the story is told through what characters do, not what they say. i have always found that that is something, show do not tell, is key for me. action is character, let the character tell the story. wider political implications become i think very obvious. it is a drama with specifics, which expands much greater. 0k, sounds interesting. number two. we know how this goes. did you just ask me if i have seen that in all seriousness? it was not particularly scary, it was a mainstream movie, but it was hugely successful. so now we have it: chapter two. an adaptation of the

stephen king novel. 27 years later, the losers club returns back to derry by the re—emergent of it, the clown —like shape shifter. the problem with this film, the first was a coming—of—age story with horror elements in it. i thought it was really well directed. this feels like something which is altogether more episodic, altogether more bitter. it is nearly three hours long. it has numerous strands and operates over two different timeframes with individual set pieces, you are saying one now, which are played out really brilliantly and well orchestrated. but for a movie which concentrates so much on memory, forgetting, on characters going underground and discovering what lies beneath, the film itself is much more about service. its individual moments work in and of itself, when you put them together, they do not add up to

a coherent narrative. my biggest problem is that i think for horror to work properly, you have to be emotionally engaged and ifound myself 90 minutes into the nearly three hours of this thinking that is engagement is not kicking in. that is not to say it is not brilliant, it is clearly made by somebody who loves the story and the genre. but the problem is what it does not have is that emotional through line that the first one did. you should see the first one, because it is basically a coming—of—age movie thatjust happens to have scary stuff in it. i do remember you telling me that. something that is three hours, it has to be worth that. that is an issue. it starts to feel like a tv miniseries. of course, it was all those years ago. you do wonder, why is this feeling so episodic? the third film. i saw a trailer for this in the cinema and i was the only one who chuckled. oh, really? the shiny shrimps, the professional

swimmer who is interviewed by a tv interviewer who keeps saying you are past your prime, everything is going wrong for you. he then rebuffs him with a homophobic epithet. he said something outrageous and immediately he is thrown out and told you have to make it up to the lgbt community and the way you have to do that is to become the coach to the shiny shrimps. a gay men's water polo team he will take place in croatia. initially he isn't thrilled but inevitably, as you see in the trailer, it all works together. here is a clip. you are late. follow me now. two minutes, copy that.

so, you get a sense of the movie from that. it is charming and funny. it is also full of cliches and stereotypes. there is nothing surprising about the narrative whatsoever. you can tell from the first ten minutes where it is going to go. the best way of describing this is like... swimming with men crossed

with priscilla queen of the desert. you have to be pretty hard—hearted not to chuckle at this. the heart of it is in right place. it is rather a charming film, i enjoyed it. i do not think it is ground—breaking in anyway, but it is good fun. there's a lot to be said for fun in today's world. let's talk about best are. —— best out. markjenkins made this film about a fishing village in cornwall. it is about the battle between past, present and future. it is shot on clockwork cameras with 16mm black and white which markjenkins developed in his studio. it is i think a genuine modern masterpiece that i think it is one of the defining british films of the decade. it has done so well in its opening week that they have expanded the number of cinemas in which it is playing, i think it is in twice the number of screens that it was playing in the first week, because the response has been great. it is notjust a film which critics are saying is great,

audiences are loving it. i am struck by the fact that i have thought about it every day since i have seen it. i do not love everything about it, but i think it is extremely clever. i was really struck by the sound, as well. something, i am afraid i do not always notice sound, there is something really unusual, in a good way, about that. really haunting imagery and the way in which the sound bubbles up on the ground is really impressive. it gives you the sense that you're watching something that is completely organic and utterly in and of the place that it is set in. i really enjoyed it. i felt you could tell that he was so passionate and it comes through. absolutely, it is a passion project for it is a labour of love and it is really wonderful. quick thought of what else is around? hi life is a really interesting sci—fi film with robert pattinson. it is a film which goes into outer space, but it is really about inner space.

it is about what is happening within, rather than about what is happening without. it is enigmatic, very strange and something that you really have to give yourself over to. it is really worth seeing. i really enjoyed it. pattinson is brilliant. really interesting week. thank you very much. that is all for this week, enjoy your cinemagoing, whatever you decide to go and see. thanks for watching, goodbye. i hope you've managed to enjoy some of the decent weather that the weather —— the week and provided because from the word go on monday, it is going to start on a pretty wet note. anywhere near this weather front some of the rain could be quite heavy. water and spray around if you're travelling. please know that in mind. it won't be raining everywhere right from the word go, out of northern ireland will be dry

and aggressively bright. some of the wayne apache to the eastern side of england in the first part of the day. come the afternoon, some of that rain fizzling away, look cow that rain fizzling away, look cow that behind, a bit of brightness, it won't reduce the intensity of the rain in parts of the south—west and into parts of wales as well. it will bea into parts of wales as well. it will be a cool day and as we get on through the night, as the cloud and rain pulls away, the skies begin to clear underneath the ridge of high pressure so clear underneath the ridge of high pressure so it be a chilly start to the day on tuesday. at least it's going to be a dry and bright one for many. it stays that way for the most pa rt across many. it stays that way for the most part across the greater part of eastern scotland, much of england and wales was top it turns wet and windy across western scotland and northern ireland to finish of the day. top temperature is a bit of sunshine, back towards 20 degrees. look at the number of isobars here, do the rest of the night and on into the first part of wednesday, this is going to be quite a windy spell of weather and a white one too. a couple of inches of rain for some

overnight on tuesday. in some of the gust of wind up to 60 miles an hour overnight. wind is a feature throughout the day, the rain something its way intending to fizzle it was —— as it works its way to the south—eastern corner. a bright blustery day with the breeze coming in from the west and south—west, not a cold one, 19 in the eastern side of scotland, 21 in the eastern side of scotland, 21 in the south. this whole academic energy here was the remnants of the tropical storm gabrielle. it sat around in the minute they do, didn't make headlines, thankfully. but it will spread more warm and moist tropical air back towards western scotland, the north—west of england, through northern ireland. but at least with all of that coming from the minute they do, top temperature of the day with some sunshine across the south—east, 22 or 23 degrees. 0nce the south—east, 22 or 23 degrees. once it is a high pressure builds on friday and for many of us for the weekend, too, settling things very nicely.

i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: the taliban says the us has the most to lose after president trump pulled out of peace talks to end the afghan war. the head of a us aid agency says hurricane dorian has left parts of the bahamas looking like they were hit by a nuclear bomb. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme: another crunch week for borisjohnson and brexit. he says he is sticking to his plan, despite a new law against no—deal and a high—profile resignation. and the power of pompoms.
