but we clocks back by one hour." but we will be putting our clocks back by one hour tomorrow. one o'clock ought to look like? two o'clock. that is it for the papers denied. —— tonight. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. hello, mark. hi. we have a very, very interesting week, we have the last black man

in san francisco which is a sundance film festival hit. we have monos, an extraordinary feature from alejando landes. and black and blue, a thriller starring naomie harris. there is quite a lot of talk about all of these actually. there has. 50, san francisco features? this was a film that was funded initially by crowdfunding, they appealed with an idea and they did really, really well. it is co—written by and stars jimmie fails who plays a man who is desperate to retrieve his family home in the upmarket filmore district of san francisco. he has a very good friend who he tours around the city with and they have been pushed to the outskirts, and visit this house regularly which is now lived

in by a white couple. he believes they don't look after the house properly, he turns up and starts painting the windowsills. they're going, "go away! it's and he says, "well, you're not looking after it properly." he arrives there one day to discover they themselves have been thrown out of the house, there has been an inheritance problem so the house is now empty. he decides we're going to move back in and he goes to see his aunt to get all the furniture that used to be in the house before they moved out, here's a clip. your daddy didn't send you here, right? no. you sure? i swear to god. because i hope he's done dragging you into his schemes. auntie, this is for us. i'm proud of you. i really am. i miss that city. you still look good though, baby. you still look good. what i love about this, and i think you get a little sense from that, is it has a surreal comic

element to it but it also has a lot of pathos and element of tragedy about it. on the one hand, it is about how place changes through gentrification because the whole thing is his grandfather made the house and they want to get back to it. on the other hand, it is about how any place changes depending on the way you look at it. there is a lovely thing about the two main characters skateboarding through the city and you see the city passing by them but you also see the bond between them, because one of them has to put his hand on the other‘s shoulders, in orderfor them to skateboard together. and it is about how people and places are intertwined. the director described it as a love story between a man and a house. it is partly about history, partly about personal relationships. it has the most wonderful score by emile mosseri who i hadn't come across before. this score lends a fairy tale aspect to this story. on the one hand, it is a story about a prince being exiled from his castle.

it could be quite an angry film because gentrification makes some people, you know, quite upset. yes, and it absolutely isn't, although there is a thread of anger in the narrative but what is lovely about it is it's actually strangely gentle, strangely serene, almost dreamy. i spent a long time watching it thinking the real genius of this — on the one hand, the music is fabulous, and it has this look about it which is you get into the rhythm of the piece, you learn to slightly slow yourself down and attune to the frequency of the film. it is very rich, often very funny but also it has a real tragic comic dark heart to it. it is about a very real thing, something changing, about memory, about history and about gentrification, but also it is kind of a fairy tale. it was made from the ground up for very little money and it was backed by brad pitt's plan b. it's really remarkable.

interesting. i don't even know how to begin to describe the second film, thankfully you're here! i haven't seen it yet. i am bemused trying to read about it. monos almost defies description by words because it is a audio visual experience. it is directed by alejandro landes who is a colombian ecuadorian film—maker. it is a story about teenage guerrilla soldiers in an unnamed location on the top of a mountain above the cloud line where they are being trained and looking after american prisoners. we don't have geopolitical details of where they are, even when this is and how this got there. at the beginning they are being trained by somebody called the messenger who leaves them to their own devices. there is a motive in the film of a pig's head on a stick which immediately makes you think lord of the flies. there is a lot of lord of the flies. there is a lot of heart of darkness and by extension,

coppola's apocalypse now. also, this reminded me of a strange movie about child soldiers called johnny mad dog which is very hallucinogenic, very moving, very upsetting and horrifying. i also saw echoes of other films. it is a film which is so kaleidoscopic that despite the fact it is about, on the one hand, child soldiers, it is about so much more. it is a coming of age story. it has this universal feel because you never know where the story is taking place or when. it is about the group dynamics between this cast fracture and splinter. the cast is made up of, on the one hand, people who have never done any on—screen work before and on the other hand, at least one cast member was a regular on hannah montana and is the comic lead in kings of summer, which is my favourite coming—of—age movie, and who i did not recognise until halfway through the film. it has a score by mica levi, that is quite the most astonishing thing i have heard in years. it is brilliant, it is absolutely brilliant and indescribable. i was about to say defies description. yes. the third choice, naomie harris, i love her. she is great. tell me it's great, please. she's the best thing in it. it is a very nuts and bolts

thriller with a nice set—up. she is a rookie policeman, there is racism in the force. but the film is called black and blue, and she is told she has to decide between being black or blue. now she is blue, she is a policewoman. very early on she sees her colleagues committing an appalling act which she accidentally films on her body cam. then they are after her and she is in an area in which the criminals are after her as well. she is on the run from everyone. here's a clip. hello? it's me, it's me. the hell is going on? is that blood? i need sugar. look, i don't know what's going on but you can't be in here. i've been shot.

what? what do you mean? can i use your phone? who shot you? can i use your phone? you got to go. i don't want no part to this. the police is riding around here all the time, they'll help you. it was the cops that shot me. that's a great set up and she is really terrific and she elevates it from being essentially a nuts and bolts b—movie thriller into being something more than that. narratively there's a weird echo of — do you remember that film set in belfast called 71, about a british squaddie who is suddenly separated and finds himself trapped in this area where he doesn't understand the situation, doesn't understand the landscape. it takes place over one night. this has a similar sort of claustrophobia to it. it is very efficiently put together, there are some very tense set pieces.

as the narrative goes on, it becomes slightly more and more unbelievable and in the end it becomes rather ridiculous but all the way through it, you believe in her. because you believe in her, you believe in the story. i am a real suckerfor a well executed picture. a well executed stripped down picture which is what this is. it may well be more at home on dvd or in streaming. i don't think it will be a huge cinema hit but i think she is really great and it is done efficiently by someone who understands. the director comes from a horror thriller background, and that is a great thing, that's a really good training ground, and i think she really elevates it to the next level. ok, best out is probably something we all need to cheer us up in these dark times. 90 minutes of pure goodness, the shaun the sheep movie, farmageddon. i am a huge aardman fan anyway. me too. ijust smiled and laughed and giggled all the way through.

it is a shaun the sheep movie with a kind of et twist. it doesn't matter what age you are, it is just so charming and funny and moving and made with real care and love, and i am a huge silent movie fan. there is no dialogue in it. so much is to do with silent movie humour. incidentally, the combine harvester is a setup for a gag which i laughed about for about three minutes. honestly, it will make everyone feel the world is a better place, it is so lovely. i think we should have that on prescription then, the whole nation. really should, don't feel very well, see farmageddon you will feel better. quick talk about dvds. very quickly, brightburn did not take a huge amount of money in cinemas. it is a dark take on the superman origins myth. i do not know much about it and consequently i really enjoyed it. i like the idea of taking a story that people know quite well and flipping it. it is not the most original thing in the world, it takes a lot of influences from predecessor writing and also films, but i liked the strength of its convictions and it seemed to take itself seriously enough to work. it is a dark take on the

superman origins myth. i know you have a certain fondness for superhero movies. i'm certainly married to someone who loves all of that. that will be on our shelf. exactly. but farmageddon, farmageddon, farmageddon. double bill, farmageddon and monos, your mind will be blown. that's my weekend sorted, thank you very much. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you see. really, really interesting week. thanks for being with us, see you next time. bye— bye. hello once again. at last, we're going to see a significant change in weather type across england and wales. after release wet spell of weather, thanks to the influence of that weather front which is now showing signs of wanting to move

away to the near continent and following on behind, we have a much colder, fresher regime which is their across the northern parts of scotla nd their across the northern parts of scotland but through sunday, you will notice the difference in weather type across the southern half of written but it's not all bad news. it's a cold crisp start today, some pockets of frost across the southern counties of england with the skies of been clear. at least as drier, at least it's sunny and that goes for much of northern ireland, the southern half of scotland but further north, plenty of showers on the north—westerly wind. those of the north—westerly wind. those of the daytime maximum. 8—13 and that's the daytime maximum. 8—13 and that's the way we continue into the start of the forthcoming week. drier, sunnier yes but noticeably colder by day and by night, thanks to the influence of that big area of high pressure extending its ridge of high pressure extending its ridge of high pressure down across much of the british isles. it will be a cold start, widespread frost the commute. a bit ofa

start, widespread frost the commute. a bit of a difference through the south—western quarter. enough cloud and breeze here as well for there to be some showery bursts of rain, made devon and cornwall. wanted to showers with dry, fine unsettled weather. 7—8d, ten or 12. not a great difference from monday and tuesday. still that ridge of high pressure. into the south—western quarter with a noticeable east— south—east wind to keep it on the raw side down here and despite the present —— presence of the sunshine, it does nothing for the temperatures. the odd passing drizzly shower but essentially, a lot of dry and settled weather. when do things change. it may well be we see the first signs of frontal systems more active in this easterly set here trying to push their way across the british isles. some

uncertainty about the timing but it will change during the week.
