it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, giles and lynn. next on bbc news it's the film review. to buy a paper in the morning, won't you? good night. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's releases is, as always, mark kermode. hello! what have you been watching, mark? well, we have downton abbey, which is the big—screen version of the tv series that i think everyone is aware of. we have honeyland, an extraordinary tale of beekeeping in macedonia.

and hustlers, for which people are already talking about a possible oscar nomination forjennifer lopez. i had no idea there was a downton abbey film out. there's so little publicity! if only they'd let us know somehow. here is the thing, i have never seen the tv show and i know you have... i quite like it, yeah, i've seen a lot of it. but the thing is, having never seen the tv show, you watch the movie and go, that is exactly what i thought it was going to be. the story is there is a royal visit to downton, which sets everybody in a tizzy. there is a conflict amongst the serving staff over who actually gets to serve the royals. there is a hint — a hint of political intrigue with the merest whiff of republican insurgence, and then there is a touching matter of an inheritance that may cross class boundaries. here's a clip.

how clever of you to find me. well, not really. i lived here 40 years. i assume this is your maid? yes, this is lucy smith. oh, good evening, smith. good evening, milady. shall i go? no, not for me, not for me. i'm delighted to meet you. i've heard so much about you. is there something you want? oh, just to see you're comfortable and to confirm our little chat for later. i live my own life now, violet, i'm not what i was. my father is gone, my husband is gone, i see no reason not to do what i want. it doesn't mean there is no reason, merely that you cannot see it. i think lady merton is right. we'll have it out once and for all. but now i must go to her majesty. oh, it's brilliant! you laughed all

the way through that. i'm just a little worried it is not quite camp enough! apart from that, it is terrific! there was an interview where hugh bonneville said gillian fellowes did think, why don't i make this about, give it social realism? about the general strike. no, let's do a royal visit instead. in fact, there is a joke about the general strike. somebody asks maggie smith's character, "has the strike affected you?" she says, "well, my maid is a communist and she has been a bit uppity." but beyond that, it is exactly what you would expect. it is odd to think that in the background of all this is gosford park, which was dark and satirical and had... and then, downton was sort of a spin—off and then became a thing of its own. now, it comes back to the screen with, i have to say, the rough edges taken off it. there is a very fleeting and throwaway subplot which has a thriller element and then they forget about it. then they get back to having conversations over cups of tea. does it need to be on the big screen? is it cinematic in that sense or is itjust a load of froth? it doesn't need to be on the big screen, but the fact is, i laughed. maggie smith is terrific.

it feels like a really comfortable armchair, and although i have never sat in that armchair before, i know exactly where we are with this. there is a lot of discussion about, well, the world is changing. is there still a place for us? to which the answer is, absolutely! and if we felt like coming back for another movie, let's do it. but why would you mess with the formula? people who go to see downton abbey, they know what they want. why would you mess with it? yes, and i saw the trailer for it in the cinema, and the frisson of excitement that went through the audience every time maggie smith popped up. it's quite something. may i hazard a guess it was an older audience? possibly a little older than me! even older than me, mark! it does exactly what it says on the tin, and as a 56—year—old man who had not seen the tv series, i knew exactly where everything was. so, onto something which really was surprising — honeyland, which is this macedonian documentary about a disappearing way of life.

we meet this woman who is in her mid—sos, who is harvesting honey from wild places. she is up on the side of a mountainous region. she reaches her hand into the rocks for the honey. half for me, half for them. it is a very traditional way. she doesn't have her hands covered, the bees do not sting her because they appear to know her. then we see her looking after her mother, who is very infirm. she is the sole carer for her. there is some discussion about why she never got married, why the matchmaker never found a match for her, but, clearly, she is there to look after her mum. and she has this very traditional way of life which then gets essentially messed up by the neighbours, who have a different way of doing things, and so it is about a lifestyle that is in retreat. it is a really, really moving documentary.

there is something profoundly mysterious about bees anyway. it is not surprising that there are so many dramas are made with bees at the heart of them. but it is very moving. it is not narrated, the story tells itself. a lot of the time, wejust look at herface. there are some incredibly intimate moments of her and her mother together in their house, and you feel the film—makers have done a brilliantjob of disappearing into the background. so, what you are seeing is unmediated reality. i know it isn't, i understand that everything is edited, but it seems realy, really real, very profound, very moving and you will not have seen a film like it this year. i think it is really worth checking out. very, very impressive. very clever film—making. it is. and again, third one. good variety. it is! hustlers, this comedic drama inspired by a new york magazine article about exotic dancers scamming their stockbroker clients. jennifer lopez, people are talking about her as a possible oscar nominee. she plays ramona, who is kind of the queen bee dancer who takes constance wu's destiny under her wing and says, "i will show you how this works." here is a clip. i was a centrefold once. no way.

'93. oh, my god! back when stevie wonder came in. how did stevie wonder come in? casey had him in the champagne room — swears to god he isn't blind. wow! how come you're so good? i see you with every single kind of guy and... i don't know, it's like you have them all figured out. i guess i'm just a people person. it is written and directed by lorene scafaria who made that strange little movie seeking a friend for the end of the world, and it plays out like a cross between the wolf of wall street and magic mike, with a bit of a movie that nobody saw called dancing at the blue iguana, which was again about dancers but it approached them as characters first.

this is very, very good in establishing all these characters, establishing the relationships between them, and you see why it is they decide, "look, the people we are performing for, they are crooks. they caused the financial crisis. why should we not take them for all they're worth?" there is a heist movie built into it. people decide, "look, this is the only thing we can do. we have to take desperate measures." it is a really interesting film because it is not in any way leering or in any way sort of... it is gritty, the life they lead is dark... but it is really funny. the characters are very, very vibrant. as i said, it's very, very well written and directed. there is a terrific central performance. the whole cast are pretty good, but it works because it has got a lot of chutzpah to it. it is a big, bold, brassy film, but it has got real depth and it has got real characters, and you really care

about what happens to them. and it is really funny when it needs to be. 0k, intriguing. a good week! and best out is a classic re—release. midnight cowboy is 50 years old, which is a terrifying thought, and so it is back on the big screen, it is a bfi reissue. this isjon voight and dustin hoffman probably at ca reer—best performances. famously, the only american x—rated movie to win best picture, although that's because the x rating came to mean something else. it is brilliant. an iconic score byjohn barry. a tale about a hustler and a con man who come together, and it is a strange buddy relationship. and it is so brilliant watching it again, because the reason this film has endured is because you absolutely believe in those two characters. you believe in the strange friendship that they have between each other, and moments like watching dustin hoffman walking across the road, nearly getting run down and banging the taxi, saying, "i'm walking here!" which apparently was an ad lib and now has become one of the most movie lines of all time, so really well worth seeing back on the big screen. if you've never seen

it in the cinema, go and see on the big screen. i was enjoying the period element of it and watching new york and its skyline, and i thought the two of them are just absolutely terrific. i am still slightly struggling with some of it, but there are things about it i like. ok, i think that long—lens photography is a winner. they look like they are out on the streets. yes, true that. and for anyone that wants to sit on the sofa... i chose this for you. john wick 3: parabellum. thanks, mark! i know you are a big keanu reeves fan, particularly in the ultra—violent john wick series. here is the thing i would say about this — think of it not as a violent action movie. think of it as a musical with well choreographed dance numbers thatjust happen to involve people hitting each other. i think this is the best of thejohn wick movies. really great action movies at their best are like musicals.

it is all to do with choreography. keanu reeves, whatever one may think about him, is a good martial arts actor. i don't say this ironically. he is very, very physical. i think this is the best of the john wick series and you should definitely check it out. i am very busy watching downton abbey. thanks for the idea! enjoy your cinema—going, whatever you decide to go and see this week. thanks for being with us on the film review. see you next time. bye— bye. hello. after a somewhat mixed bag of weather through the weekend at looks as though the forthcoming we will try to be dominated by an area of high pressure, giving largely dry glitches across the british isles was up there will be rain at homes for scotland. there will be some chilly nights. a chilly start to the day, northern england, much of scotland, northern ireland down to three in some locations. 14—15

across the south. a blanket of cloud overnight. some rain from that gradually pulling away further south. the best of the sunshine further north. doing a little bit for the temperatures, getting up to 15 degrees or so. it is this area of high pressure that creeps its way towards the british isles towards the course of the week. on tuesday, a lot of isobars there. the windpipe noticeable for north—eastern parts of scotla nd noticeable for north—eastern parts of scotland and down the north sea coast. elsewhere, variable cloud, dry weather, sunshine later on. the cloud in the north and western part of the british isles. take care.
