and have obviously got to go back and have obviously got to go back and have gone back in an incredibly strange way. wanting to get them back first because the younger the child is the worse it is if education is interrupted. it is difficult to understand why year sixes were chosen to go back. that la st sixes were chosen to go back. that last month of term there were not doing any learning, they have activities in deep and deeper not learning. i think parents are saying hang on, how did you choose this? why are you doing it this way and broadly it will not help get parents back to work because an awful lot of kids will still be off. will a children's parents get into trouble if they don't send their kids? government as quickly as saying that anyone that chooses not to send their children to school will not

get any fines or get any action. we also need to think about not the danger because of children going to school but the day of them going back to school. that's one of these very important years for children's schooling and if they are not it's not like they can catch up. it's very formative in getting up to speed with their reading and writing. kids of home have had more admiration for people daily.|i writing. kids of home have had more admiration for people daily. i think people have got to grips with the fa ct people have got to grips with the fact that actually teachers don't all finish at three o'clock every day and have long holidays, they we re day and have long holidays, they were working terribly hard. teachers don't forget, we still forget that teachers are teaching online right now because a lot of schools are

doing online lessons. if the working poor people are sitting on the beach oi’ poor people are sitting on the beach or driving delta county durham. we know it's going to be discussed tomorrow. that's it for the papers for this evening, thank you tojoe phillips, nigel nelson and john stevens. good to have you all with us stevens. good to have you all with us in these very peculiar times. thank you very much. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies now available for viewing in the home.

now cinemas may be closed, but movies can still transport us around the world. take the county, an arresting icelandic drama set in a remote farming community. recently widowed inga declares war on the local cooperative, which she believes has become a mafia—like monopoly, controlling the industry, driving up prices and exploiting the very community it was set up to protect. faced with the threat of bankruptcy and ever more suspicious

of the forces which may have driven her husband to an early grave, inga finds her own voice, encouraging herfellow farmers to take back control of their lives through facebook blogs and milk spray protests, throwing shovel loads of manure at authority, both metaphorically and literally. in his 2015 film rams, writer—director grimur hakonarson explored the feud between two sheep—farming brothers who find themselves facing a cull that threatens both their ancestral stock and their entire way of life. here he peels back another layer of icelandic culture, focusing on a woman making her mark in a very male—dominated world.

there's a touch of frances mcdormand's character from three billboards outside epping, missouri, and the rebellious figure into which inga transforms. although anyone who enjoyed the 2018 icelandic hit woman at war may see closer ties with that film's eco—warrior heroine. arndis hronn egilsdottir does a terrificjob embodying inga's gradual change from stoically suffering farm owner to unstoppable force of nature. a change that catches everyone by surprise, friends and foe alike.

pitched somewhere between a personal drama, a bone—dry black comedy and a sociopolitical thriller, the county is a melancholy oddity, carried shoulder—high by its central performance and framed in widescreen vistas that perfectly capture both the mystery and the loneliness of this landscape. you can find the county on curzon home cinema. singing voice. bell tolling. from iceland to bosnia via the netherlands, in take me somewhere nice, the arresting feature debut from ena sendijarevic. sara luna zoric is alma, the dutch—bosnian teenager who journeys from the home in holland that she shares with her mother to visit the hospitalised father whom she lost to nostalgia

for his homeland many years ago. she's been told that her cousin will help herfind her way but he claims to be too busy to take her anywhere — leaving alma to be abandoned and kidnapped, helped and hindered, loved and hated by emir and his friend denis. clearly inspired by the tone ofjim jarmusch's indie american road movie stranger than paradise, take me somewhere nice has a deadpan absurdist streak throwing its protagonist together on a seemingly aimless but actually rather moving odyssey. a coming—of—agejourney variously furnished with lost suitcases, heady encounters, and meagre coffins. the colourful academy ratio framing finds strange beauty in unlikely circumstances as action moves from derelict houses to magical theatres from the towns to the mountain tops exploring its central themes of migration and duality through the divided soul of alma

who is at one point literally cut in half. and note that is not a plot spoiler. it's just another peculiar detail in a film filled with memorable images in which everything and nothing appeared to be happening simultaneously. take me somewhere nice is now available on moopy. i first saw finnish director j—p valkea paa's film dogs don't wear pants at a film festival in strasbourg, and it was due to be playing in uk cinemas just as lockdown began in march. it is now available on a range of uk streaming services and it's well with your attention. the story follows a middle—age heart surgeon whose life falls apart

in the wake of tragedy but who finds unexpected escape from pain in the rituals of bondage. maintaining a remarkable balance between dry humour and deadening grief, valkeapaa — who made the visitor and they have escaped, takes us tumbling down a rabbit hole into a wonderland world of sex—positive wish fulfillment. despite the title which in english at least has overtones of naff carried—on style buffoonery, the result is sometimes shocking, often funny, but ultimately redemptive and uplifting. the same cannot be said of bad boys for life, the belated three—quel to a franchise everyone thought had run its course back in 2003 but would return to cinemas earlier this year to surprisingly crowd—pleasing effect albeit without michael bay who makes a fleeting cameo appearance.

it is carnage. you didn't shoot anybody? come on, cap, you know i shot some people. yeah... will smith and martin lawrence are back — older but not necessarily wiser — one longing for retirement, the other out for revenge. it's a one—note gag that didn't tickle my funny bone although, in the interests of editorial honesty, i must confess that the rest of audience in the packed cinema i saw it in injanuary appeared to enjoy it enormously. whether it will get the same kind of response in front rooms around the country remains to be seen. you can own it on dvd and blu—ray from monday. personally, i'd give the hollywood blockbusters a miss and check out something more adventurous like the orphanage which anna smith recommended here on the film review last week and is now available on mooby. the tale of a teenage boy's life

in soviet—occupied afghanistan, this beautifully empathetic film has something of the true grit of a coming—of—age story that does not shy away from the grim realities of its central character's circumstances. but the use of bollywood—inspired fantasy sequences is a masterstroke, expressing the inner life of these downtrodden youngsters with wit, dexterity and surprising sincerity. but my own pick of the very best film currently available for home viewing is never really sometimes always — a brilliant drama from eliza hittman that addresses the urgent contemporary issue of reproductive rights through a coming—of—age story that presents a note—perfect portrayal of female friendship.

i saw you were not at school today. i went to the doctor. are you ok? yeah, i'm fine. what's wrong? girl problems. combining the melancholy realism of midnight cowboy with humanism, this is a remarkable film from an oustanding film—maker. it is honest, truthful and powerful. do not miss it. i will leave you with a reminder that even though cinemas are currently closed, there is a whole wealth of movie heritage out there on the web with films like the third man coming to bfi player on monday, giving you a chance to catch up on all those classics you'd always wanted to watch. that's it for this week, thanks for watching the film review, and i will be back next week with more home viewing treats.
