‘ tomorrow story, and also our leader tomorrow is talking more about, you know, the upcoming recession that we are going to face which is going to be the deepest recession this country has seenin deepest recession this country has seen in 50,60 deepest recession this country has seen in 50, 60 years possibly ever. it is kind of terrifying, and we have all distracted ourselves by this dominic cummings story, which is of course important, but there are other stories around. i think perhaps this is very bad for dominic cummings and boris johnson, perhaps this is very bad for dominic cummings and borisjohnson, but i think this story will run for a long time, partly because it is a good distraction. it is quite a nice thing for people to... not nice, but an interesting thing for people to dwell over and talk about over supper with their spouse. what do you think about dominic cummings? do you think about dominic cummings? do you think about dominic cummings? do you think it was defensible? blah blah blah. sol you think it was defensible? blah blah blah. so i think it is going to keep on coming. that is why it is important for us in the media to pull people's minds back to what else is going on, which is also obviously very important. henry, final word to you. does this one story give everyone in lockdown something to talk about? yes, absolutely, and i think people would

love to have concrete changes in the way life is going. they would love schools to have clarity, and schools, work, public transport, all these things. but that isn't really forthcoming. it is a very piecemeal approach. the testing is really piecemeal. this is something you can get your teeth into while all the uncertainty is going on. henry, you said we were are more obedient country than we thought. you are a more obedient panel than i thought. thank you very much. that is it for the papers tonight. 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 0utside epping, missouri —— ebbing, 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 of 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 captured both the mystery and the loneliness of this landscape. you can find the county on curzon home cinema. music over loudspeaker bell tolls from iceland to bosnia via the netherlands, in take me somewhere nice, the arresting feature debut

from ena sendijarevic. she is elma, the dutch bosnian teenager who journeys her home in holland she shares with her mother to visit the hospitalised father whom she wants to nostalgia for his homeland many years ago. she's told her cousin will help her find her way, but he claims to be too busy to take her anywhere leaving her to be abandoned and kidnapped, hated it had become a lot to hated by elia and his friend davis was inspired by the tone of the indian—american road movie stranger than paradise, take me somewhere nice has a deadpan street throwing its character on a seemingly aimless but actually rather moving 0dyssey. a coming—of—age journey variously furnished with lost suitcases, heady encounters and meagre coffins. the colourful academy ratio framing finds strange beauty in unlikely

circumstances as the action was from derelict houses to magical theatres, from the towns to the mountaintops, exploring its central themes of migration and duality through the divided soul of elma 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. in this film at a film festival in strasburg, 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 is 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, the director takes us tumbling down a rabbit hole of sex—positive wish fulfillment. despite the title, which in english at least has overtones of 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 threequel to a franchise everyone thought runs chorus back in 2003,

but would return to cinemas earlier this year to surprisingly crowd—pleasing affect albeit without director michael bay who makes a fleeting cameo appearance. it is carnage. i didn't do all this. you didn't shoot anybody? oh, come on, you know i shot somebody. will smith are back but older are not necessarily wise for someone along for a time revenge most. it's a 0nenote gag didn't tickle my funny bone, but in the interests of editorial honesty, i must confess that the rest of this in my i saw within january appeared to enjoy it enormously. whether it will get the same kind of response in front of rooms in the country remains to be seen, you can own it on dvd and blu—ray through monday. personally, i would give the hollywood blockbusters a miss and check out something more

adventurous like the 0rphanage, which anna smith recommended here on the film review last week and is now available. the tale of a teenage boy's life and 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 services is a massive stroke express the inner life of these downtrodden youngsters with wit, —— youngsters with wit, dexterity and surprising sincerity. but my own pick of the very best film currently available for home viewing is never rarely sometimes

always, a brilliant drama from eliza had meant that addresses the urgent contemporary issue of reproductive rights through a coming—of—age story that presents a note perfect potrayal of female friendship. i saw you were not at school today. i went to the doctor. are you 0k? yeah, i am fine. what is wrong? girl problems. combining the realism of midnight cowboy, this is a remarkable film from a remarkable film—maker. it is honest, truthful and powerful. do not miss it. i will leave you with a reminder that even the cinemas are currently closed, there is a whole wealth of movie heritage out there on the web with films

like the third man know my coming coming on monday. that is it for this week. thanks for watching the film review and i will be back next week no. never. y'all will never do that again. hello there. it has been an improving picture through the day across much of the country. the early morning cloud continues to melt away with increasing amounts of sunshine as high pressure built back in. tonight, it looks like it's going to be dry for most with light winds as high pressure moves across much of the uk. you can see widespread clear skies for england and wales into northern ireland, lots of scotland as well, though it will stay fairly cloudy and breezy across the northern isles. but with the lighter winds, the clear skies, it could be a little bit chillier tonight than what we've had the last few nights. temperatures down in single figures

for many, a little bit of mist and fog developing across some south—western areas. for monday, high pressure is back in the driving seat, but these weather fronts will come into play later in the day across the north—west. a little early mist and fog with tend to clear away very quickly and then it's a sunny day for most. cloud and breeze will start to pick up across western scotland, northern ireland, the rain will pile in here into the afternoon. so temperatures around the mid teens celsius here because of the cloud, the rain and the wind. further south and east you go, very warm, around the mid 20s celsius across the south—east. that band of cloud and rain across the north—west moves its way south—eastwards as we head through the course of monday night. it will be lying across central areas by the end of the night, and because there will be more cloud cover, then temperatures perhaps a little bit up, in double figures for most. into tuesday then, we've still got high pressure largely dominating the scene, but this weather front will be lying through central areas to continue to bring that band of cloud. it will be a very weak feature, barely anything on it. it will start to move south—eastwards, skies brightening up again behind it across scotland and northern ireland. it will be a little bit fresher i think generally across scotland

and northern ireland for tuesday, around the mid teens celsius here, but we've still got that warm air mass across southern and eastern areas, so, again, 25 or26 degrees despite there being a bit more cloud around. on wednesday, we see a new weather front push into northern ireland and into central western scotland. this could bring further outbreaks of rain here. but again, much of england and wales, another dry, sunny day thanks to high pressure and another warm one too, closer to the mid teens for northern scotland. a little bit higher, though, for northern ireland. that's because our area of high pressure will be shifting eastwards and starting to draw up southerly winds in the near continent. that will drive the warm air northwards into scotland and northern ireland, so i think thursday and friday look warmer across the board, low 20s in the north, mid—20s further south.
