penny, it is a pleasure. on cue and penny, it is a pleasure. on cue to both of you. —— thank you. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online this 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. thank you benedicte and penny. next on bbc news, it's the film review. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. what have you been watching, mark? a very mixed bag.

we have misbehaviour, which is a true life story of the disruption of the 1970 miss world. we have bacurau, which is brilliantly indescribable and very strange. chuckles. and my spy, a kind of updated kindergarten cop. so we start with a true story? so, yes, so misbehaviour, which i know you've seen as well. so based on real events. a kind of comedy—drama about the disruption of the 1970 miss world. it is amazing to throw your mind back to 1970 when miss world was a really big thing, it was on the bbc, everybody sat round and watched it. gugu mbatha—raw is miss granada, the dignified contestant who seems to have a chance of breaking the competition's white—only sort of, you know, glass ceiling. meanwhile, keira knightley and jessie buckley are the sort of chalk and cheese women's activists who decided that what they are going to do is to disrupt the cattle market of miss world by making their own way to the competition and then creating a spectacle that will draw attention

to the rising woman's movement. here's a clip. how do we actually get in without being caught? we buy tickets. laughter. unless that's too organised. and you lot, you'd have to blend in. communal clothes. laughter. woo! ooh, wow! oh, i love them! no, you look like a bag lady. what, i look like you? this is what you're wearing. this is your skirt. laughter. i am gonna win. look, could you...? god, i can't breathe. shoes. oh, love that one. laughing. lady—like. i look exactly like my mother. i look like my mother's sofa. now, the thing i really liked about this was on the one hand,

i mean, it is a remarkable true story. these two things converge, these two things happen at the same time. the second thing is what the film does tonally is it has a very good balance — in the same way as something like made in dagenham or, you know, more recently, battle of the sexes does — of taking a very important, you know, socio—economic story and putting it in a form which is really entertaining. yes. so there are great performances. there's stuff like, you know, rhys ifans as eric morley, who is kind of the guy in charge of the competition, you know, explains... he is really good, i think, yes! and he's also really, really enjoying himself. yes! he's having a great time. you've got greg kinnear as bob hope who is kind of the celebrity guest — although actually, i think the show is stolen by leslie manville as his long—suffering wife dolores, who has kind of seen bob hope be at these competitions before. and then, at the centre of it, you have this — i mean, it is actually pretty much historically what happened... yes, yes.

..but told with great wit, great humour. we heard a couple people say well, they thought it was a bit flimsy. i think what they meant by flimsy was strangely accessible because i thought actually, the story did grapple with some complicated... yes. you know, there are conflicts of interest. you know, there is — on the one hand, there is the story of the gugu mbatha—raw‘s character. on the other hand, there is the story of the growing women's lib movement. and the fact this dinosaur—like competition, which was welcomed into everyone's home. but of course, it's... i spent the whole film seething, thinking "oh, my god! we actually did this! this is only 50 years ago!" i mean, it's a very good historical reminder of how horrific it was. the most alarming thing is the moment when they do the turn. oh, yes! 0h! i mean, and it is cattle market—level. .. oh, i was literally cringing! yes, yes, yes. but i thought it was — i thought it was really entertaining, but i also thought it told the story well. yes, absolutely. it's hugely enjoyable. you could say maybe a couple — the keira knightley character jessie buckley character, although they're both terrific... and both historically... slightly — yeah, historically all accurate. maybe slightly, you know, not very well drawn characters, but the historical representation of the period is fantastic, i think.

my feeling about those — i mean, i think there is a certain broad strokes—ness to some of those characters, but actually, i — in exactly the same way as i didn't mind it with made in dagenham, i think that what it is doing is it's attempting to tell that story to the widest possible audience, because what you don't want is to be singing to the choir. you don't want to be make a movie about this subject that literally just tells a story to people who already know it. absolutely. what youn want to do is you want to tell it to the broadest possible audience. not least because you want to go "this really happened ! " yes! and millions of people watched! and it was really is remarkable. yes, yes. it is definitely worth seeing, i'd say. thumbs up from me, absolutely. yes. so, your second choice today? yeah, so bacurau. this is from brazilian film—maker kleber mendonca filho, who has co—directed it — i talked about aquarius on the programme about a year or so ago. this is kind of a political satire. it takes some inspiration from that story the most dangerous game, about hunting humans. it is a remote village that discovers it has effectively been

written off the map. their phone signal has stopped working, their water has been cut off, they discover that they no longer appear on satellite maps, so they have effectively been sort of deemed to not exist. and then a bunch of rich, armed tourists turn up, led by udo kier — which is never a good sign — and the film then goes from being on the one hand a kind of magicaljodorowsky—like satire into something which is a quite a grim and gruelling, brutal thriller. and what i liked about it very much was, for a start, it is hard to pigeonhole it. i am very aware that the more you know about the political situation, the more you can read from it, and i was thinking "we'll, i'm watching this as a cineaste rather than a politician, so i am getting half of the story" but it's very well directed, it's very unexpected. there are moments of real brutality in it and it's certainly one of those films that afterwards, you will have a very long discussion about what it all added up to. i thought it was an interesting piece. it's in cinemas for a couple of weeks, and then it's on mubi from the end of the month.

0k. and now my spy. yeah. so, you've seen this movie a million times before in otherforms. in this particular format, so dave bautista is this muscle—bound special agent who, at the very beginning of the movie, we see him doing a mission in which he just basically punches people and blows things up. they say "you're not great at being a spy. we're going to send you on a surveillance mission." of course, he ends up sort of falling for the person he is surveilling and, more importantly, getting wrapped around the little finger of the child who is also involved in the surveillance. here's a clip. 0k. you don't believe me? look, kid, you're just not the spy type. oh, isee. so i should just stay in my box and dream of maybe being a barista or a fashion designer or a wedding planner. or maybe an er nurse like your mother. you know, i was thinking of asking bobbi anyway. she seems more like the brains of the operation, whereas you're more the brawn. who are you calling brawn?

i was an analyst! she doesn't have an ounce of my training! if anybody's going to teach you, it's going to be... nicely done. don't do that again. you can hear the score coming in — they're going "this bit‘s funny!" laughs. here's the thing. it's perfectly fine. i — there was a couple of chuckles. it's basically kindergarten cop meets spy meets stakeout. it's a very, very well—trodden path. you know, dave bautista's funny — although he has actually done funnier stuff in things like guardians of the galaxy. i chuckled a few times. the screening i was in, there was one person who was laughing their head off all the whole way through and i imagined they were a big dave bautista fan, but it's — it's — it's kind of — it's the very definition of meh, it's all right. i mean, it's not — i've seen much worse, i've seen much better. is it in your category of i wasn't bored? yes. it's in my category of i wasn't bored.

i love that category. i wanted it to be funnier than it was, but i have seen far less funny things. laughs. that won't go on the poster for it. that is not happening! but you are probably all over the poster of a portrait of a lady on fire. and we both love it. it is the last week i'm going to do this, because i think it's probably the last week it's gonna be, you know... but it — i think this is one of the best films i have seen in ages. it's directed by celine sciamma, who i think is fantastic. a fantastic central performance adele haenel. it's, you know, a period drama but it's very contemporary. it's about the female gaze, but it's also a love story. it has the most extraordinary use of music, despite the fact there's very little music in it, and ijust thought it was — i — i loved it. it's beautiful. i think it's a beautiful film in every way. and also flawless. i mean, i can't think of anything that's wrong with it. i keep thinking there must be something that's wrong with it. nope, absolutely flawless. i think it's up there with parasite in terms of not a step put wrong. i'm with you on that one. and let's talk about dvd — there may be more a little more

people — a little more of us all sitting at home watching films in the coming weeks, so you'll need to come up with some goodies. exactly. dvds are gonna be very important in the coming weeks. so, le mans ‘66 — or as it was known in america, where it was nominated — surprisingly — for a best picture oscar, le mans ‘66 is the story — er, ford v ferrari it was known in america — so it's basically a kind of racing rivalry story on—track, off—track. two great performances — christian bale and matt damon. i have to say christian bale got all of the attention in terms of the acting. yes. i think matt damon had the harder role. i think that role was actually more complicated because it seemed to be the less complex role. and in fact, although it sounds counter—intuitive, it is often harder to play an apparently less complex role. i thought it was very really entertaining, i thought it was really good, terrific sound design. i mean, reminded me, to some extent — well, i remember going to see the original le man with my dad. everyone of my age was taken to see the original le man by their dad. but it was a great story, well told, very moving. i was just slightly surprised that it was up for best picture.

but, you know, it's a very good piece of entertainment, a very solidly made film. 0k, and we'll need lots of that. but it's not portrait of a lady on fire! so go and see that! go see that. go see that before they shut the cinemas! oh, i shouldn't tempt fate! don't say that! i know, i know! it breaks my heart to even think about it, it really does. ok, let's not — 0k. right. positive energy! thank you. thanks for being here. thanks for watching. fingers crossed we'll all be here next week. thanks. see you next time. bye— bye. chuckles. 0h! hello. a little bit of rain on the way for sunday. it's already raining across some parts of the country, particularly across northern and western areas. but the chances are that you will see some sunshine a little bit later in the morning and the afternoon. now, this is the weather centre that has been approaching us in the last few hours. it has brought wet weather to

parts of scotland, western areas as well. this is the rainfall through the early hours of sunday, you can see across parts of wales, the southwest as well. but here we have south—westerly winds, so it is not cold at all. around nine or ten. the wind is blowing out of the north and scotland, so a little bit cold and even cold enough for some wintriness across the hills of scotland, and the mountains as well, of course. now, the forecast for sunday suggest that rainfall will linger perhaps into the afternoon across the south—east and east anglia, but the vast majority of the country is actually on for a fine day, so the sun will eventually come out in places like birmingham, liverpool, york, newcastle as well, and certainly some fine weather on the way for many parts of northern ireland and central scotland. now, monday we see two areas of weather. on the one hand we have high pressure building in from the south—west, but also low pressure is sending weather front in our direction. but the high pressure will be more dominant across the uk on monday, and that means calm winds

and quite possibly scenes like this outside of towns. a bit of mr brown, western frost, across many parts of england and wales, but in the north—west of the country, it is a different story. low pressure influencing our weather, stronger winds, perhaps gale force in the western isles, and some outbreaks of rain. but the vast majority of us with a fine day on monday. that front is going to move through monday night into tuesday, and it is actually going to introduce cloud and possibly some rain across the west and north—west of the uk. a little bit messy, i think, forecasting the cloud amounts on tuesday, could be a bit of cloud here but more especially i think in the north—west of the uk. basically the north—west of the uk. basically the further south and east you are on tuesday, the better will the weather will be. and very mild. towards the end of the upcoming weekend into the weekend, it looks as though the weather is going to settle down, with high—pressure building. a lot of sunshine the way.

—— a lot of sunshine on the way.
