two—thirds of people through then putting the rest in m days of quarantine seems extreme and it will not make a substantial difference to the risk of infection. back to the daily telegraph for an amusing picture. a couple taking no chances, wrapping a plastic windbreaker around their heart. as you said earlier, that is what almost every english and british person has to do if they have a holiday in the country. that was my childhood, taking your windbreaker and wrapping it around you, with a howling gale. we will enjoy this as we eat our ham sandwiches. that couple, the plastic is around the sides, but viruses can kind of pop over the top. it is not exactly a foolproof method. it looks very blue peter, actually. are you planning a

holiday, in one sentence?” peter, actually. are you planning a holiday, in one sentence? i am not. i don't think i would wrap myself in a plastic transparent sheet. thank you both so much. the film review is coming up next. that's it for us. goodbye. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's home cinema releases. first up, little women. a beautifully crafted period drama from writer—director greta gerwig who gave us the wonderful lady bird.

i believe we have some power over who we love. it isn't something thatjust happens to a person. i think poets might disagree. well, i'm not a poet, i'm just a woman. and as a woman, there's no way for me to make my own money. not enough to earn a living or to support my family. and if i had my own money, which i don't, that money would belong to my husband the moment we got married. and if we had children, they would be his, not mine. they would be his property. so don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition, because it is. greta gerwig brings contemporary relevance to the classic novel set in the civil war, while preserving the spirit at its core. saoirse ronan isjo march, one of the four sisters. the film introduces us tojo as an adult who's living in new york and struggling to make a living as a writer before it takes us back

to her adolescent years when she's bickering and bonding with her siblings. emma watson plays the eldest, meg. eliza scanlon is piano—playing beth. florence pugh is the impetuous amy. laura dern is the mother, marnie. i will do the same, then. i hope you'll do a great deal better than me. gerwig's twist to fiddle with the timeline is bold. if you have not read the book, the structure can be confusing. the film jumps back and forth and it also takes us to amy's time in paris, with meryl streep as the withering aunt. current heart—throb timothy chalomet is cast as laurie and he perfectly captures the sincerity and spark the childhood friend. the film reveals some of the story's twists at the start and focuses on the characters. saoirse ronan‘s jo is complex and believable. she is funny and intelligent and full of practice very about a world that expects her to marry rather than earn a living.

i'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. i'm so sick of it. this little women is a feminist piece and a plea for neighbourly compassion which feels relevant in these times. it's available on digital now. this is a film school of sorts in which all the teachers are women — an academy of venus. many female film makers are sadly overlooked by film history, as shown in women make film, a new road movie through cinema. here is one of the most designed films ever made. a choir, painted sets, heightened colours, others, lovely cinematic likeness. then... a comic visual and rhythmicjourney that should be a christmas classic. but wendy toye's british film

is hardly talked about. a deep dive into the archives of female directors, written and directed by film critic mark cousins, and narrated by iconic actresses such as jane fonda and tilda swinton. the series breaks down the successful film—making components and illustrates it with examples from films made by women, not hitchcock or orson welles. how do you make a tracking shot magical? it's a smart way of making a simple point and it's hugely enjoyable. this is a0 chapters and 14 hours long, but it's worth it. you can find some of the films on the bfi player where woman makes film will be available from may 18, as well as on other streaming services and dvd.

now, for cassandro, the exotico! from french documentary maker marie losier. her fly—on—the—wall camera follows the eccentric somebody mexican wrestling beyond the ring and into the dressing room. marie losier has a background in the art world and brings a painterly style to this film. the cross—dressing star squeezes into spandex costumes to put on a show, he gets to cover his scars in both the literal and emotional sense of the word. i've been hurt and beat up because i was labelled gay or exotico. we learn about his broken bones and the many pins in his body. and witness and preparing for yet another operation. still, our luchadora goes back into the wrestling ring. he tells of abuse, therapy and weeping into his giant teddy,

this is a poignant film about a man who finds solace in an unlikely place. cassandro, the exotico! is on moobi from monday. right now i'd like to bring you a different kind of story. in its own way, it'sjust as dramatic as anything you can write up. it has to do with a new power source. this power source is the atom. documentary maker vicki leslie takes on a very different subject in the atom, a love affair. everything to buy at lily cole, the film explores humankind's complext relationship with nuclear power. from the start there was always ambiguity to it. always the idea of good radiation and better radiation. people know that if the good fairy gives you a gift, you have to be very careful how you use it. mixed with lively visuals and archive confidence, talking heads from all over the world explain the passion

they had for or against nuclear power. the electricity was a useful by—product. advertising campaigns promise a rosy nuclear powered future until the news footage from chernobyl shows us differently. the love affair is just about held together by the narration a clip from old romantic movies. but the strength of the film lies in the widely varied interviewees, from bitter hippie to the mother for peace. you felt very proud to be part of this thing that keeps the country's power going. it's on curzon home cinema now. the orphanage is based on unpublished diaries and it tells the story of a young boy who's sent to live an institution in kabul, afghanistan in the late ‘80s.

in this evocative drama, qodratollah qadiri stars as a streetsmart teen who processes life by imagining scenes from bollywood films. director shahrbanoo sadat makes wonderful witty work of these tributes to bollywood, combining them with everyday details that bring the story to life. it's a moving watch and the second in sadat‘s planned five—part history of afghanistan. the orphanage is on mubi now. finally, a film coming to dvd on monday.

bombshell stars charlize theron and nicole kidman. they are the fox news anchors who lifted the lid on the tv network's sexual—harassment scandal. if roger finds that you came to us, he won'tjust fire you, he will bang us with a million—dollar lawsuit, he will attack you personally. these men care more about their reputations and they do money. roger won't stop. i know. colleagues who you admire will say publicly you are a superior, ambitious woman who is suing because her career stalled. let 'em. pacy, slick and funny, bombshell starts with a public spat between newscaster megyn kelly, played by theron, and donald trump. nicole kidman, who visibly altered her looks for the role, plays gretchen carlson, who plans to sue her boss, roger ailes, for sexual harassment. no fingerprints. it's gripping to watch to ambitious profession of speaking and the pre—metoo era, and i enjoyed it margot robbie as an innocent new recruit. i don't wanna be on tv,

i wanna be on fox. there are questions over the film's accuracy but it shines a light on workplace bullying and harassment in a way that will resonate for many, and it features some of hollywood's finest actresses in top form. it's like we're telling women, "go on, speak up for yourself, just know the entire network is with roger." bombshell is out on digital now and on dvd on monday. thank you for watching the film review with me, anna smith. stay safe and we'll be back next week with more home—viewing treats. no—one makes their own way. not really. least of all a woman. you'll need to marry well. but you are not married. that's because i'm rich. hello. there is some wet weather and some warm weather in this weather forecast. first, most of the wet weather will be found across the northern half of the uk.

further south, it'll be largely dry, and quite widely it'll become very warm for a time around the middle of the week. the end of the week will feel a bit different. it'll be cooler, windier and more unsettled for all of us. now, you can see frontal systems which will be pushing across northern areas over the next few days, bringing cloud. yes, this cloud producing some outbreaks of rain, but it is to the south of those frontal systems that things will turn increasingly warm and increasingly sunny for just about all of us by wednesday. but, as far as monday goes, some rain to start off across northern scotland. that will increasingly become confined to the northern isles. the north of the mainland will brighten up, with some sunshine. we will see quite a lot of cloud persisting across southern scotland, north—west england and northern ireland. patchy rain here, which could become heavier from the west into the afternoon. further south, some spells of hazy sunshine. it will be a breezy day, quite a windy one, actually, across northern scotland. but as far as the temperatures go, well, 18 degrees in aberdeen, 17 in belfast, but a high of 2a across some parts of south—east

england. now, as we go through monday night into the early part of tuesday, we'll see more splashes of rain at times across northern ireland, northern england and scotland. some clear spells further south, but look at those overnight temperatures — ii, 12 degrees the minimum values for some. so a very mild start to tuesday morning. again we see a lot of cloud across northern areas, with some patchy rain at times. it's likely to be quite misty and murky for some of these western coasts, as well. further south and further east, that's where we see the best of the sunshine, and once again the highest of the temperatures. 25 degrees looks likely in london by this stage. now, as we move into wednesday, high pressure firmly in charge for the middle of the week, these frontal systems being held at bay for the time being. so i think wednesday is going to be the sunniest day of the week, even northern ireland and scotland brightening up by this stage. the exception — shetland here. you'll hold onto a lot of cloud, some splashes of rain, temperatures topping out at about nine degrees. further south, though, a high of 27 degrees is possible. now, things do change

for the end of the week. we could see some thunderstorms breaking out on thursday. it turns windy for all of us on friday, with some rain at times, and by this stage it'll feel a bit cooler.
