8:45 pm
with a record seven games to spare, so could more titles now follow? we can improve. what that means, i don't know. the consistency we showed, it's difficult to improve because it's just insane. as long as we stay humble, everything is possible for us, as long as we are ready to still write the stories we want to tell our grandchildren in the future. having arrived at anfield five years ago, the charismatic klopp has forged a special bond with the fans here. supporters whose long wait for league glory he's now brought to an end. it means absolutely everything to me. that's the only reason why we play football, we want to... this city is a very emotional city who went through a lot of hard times, like the club, and at this moment in time, the biggest crisis we've probably ever had, our generation ever had, it's so important that we don't forget that there are some things we're allowed to look forward to.
8:46 pm
the league was once the competition that defined liverpool, lifting it for the 18th time in1990. and although they've not been without silverware in the past 30 years, klopp also led them to a european crown last season, this was always the prize the club coveted the most. we waited so long. we knew we were going to get there in the end, so, in a way, you know, i'm happy that now it's over the line and i think it's been an absolutely amazing season. having found the perfect rhythm on the pitch, klopp led the celebrations off it last night. his — a club moving in the right direction. for many younger liverpool fans, they're either too young to have experienced or don't remember the last time in 1990 that liverpool won the league — judith moritz reports on just how much the victory means to fans. yeah! screams ofjoy. when liverpool last won the league, andrew dunbar was ten. now, he has a daughter of nearly the same age.
8:47 pm
they celebrated together as the final whistle blew and today, it was still sinking in. daddy was about the same age as you the last time they won the league. can you imagine waiting till you're daddy's age for it to happen again? no. yeah. we're going to win again, aren't we? yeah. this is it. we'll win every single time because they're just amazing. i thinkjurgen klopp, you know, he's started a dynasty. i think he's built something so good that, you know, i'd like to think this is the first of many that we'll get and again, we're back on our perch. at anfield today, they were busking in victory as well as sunshine, enjoying this new moment in their shared history. the long league drought has coincided with the years of grief which this community's suffered since 96 of its supporters were killed. liverpool is a club which has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. hillsborough happened the season before the team last won the league. they felt its impact personally,
8:48 pm
and there are those who believe it had a lasting effect on the pitch, as well as off it. it was meant for england, not liverpool, but when the lightning seeds sang about 30 years of hurt, the phrase could've been written for the club, triumphant in europe but eluded by league glory. the impact of hillsborough was felt, you know, in the terraces and on the pitch massively. it changed the whole ethos of the club. it tookjurgen klopp to... not... what he did i think that was great was he didn't try and reinstate that dream, hejust brought a new dream. i think everyone still had belief and, of course, we had some fabulous times in between with the european cup. there's no club in the world i would ever want to support more than that. win, lose or draw — i don't care, i love supporting liverpool. this is a time for the reds to savour. official community celebrations are on hold until the coronavirus risk reduces. but they've waited 30 years, a little longer won't matter.

judith moritz, bbc news, liverpool. now on bbc news, it's time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode. rounding out the best movies available for viewing in the home. the most fascinating and mysterious new release is the french drama, the girl with a bracelet. stephane demoustier‘s remake remake of the argentine film, the accused, which is available exclusively on curzon home cinema.
8:50 pm
number one is impenetrable and enigmatic as lise, melissa guers is impenetrable and enigmatic as lise, the teenager charged with the murder of her best friend who was found stabbed in her bed after a party sleepover. from the opening scene from which the police arrive on a beach to arrest her come up to the courtroom proceedings to which we hear that she is the only suspect in this terrible crime, or subject shows little or no emotion. when asked how she feels about the loss
8:51 pm
of her friend, she was reportedly angry with for posting on the video, she seems unmoved and strangely silent. and that she in shock, reeling from the trauma of the murder and the subsequent trial? or is it she simply a cold—blooded killer? that's a question the film wants us to answer for ourselves, offering only conjecture and speculation as to what really happened leaving us, like thejury, to weigh out the evidence. it's a precarious balancing act that the film pulls off with great aplomb challenging the rituals of grief and the displays of emotion through which we are expected to judge guilt or innocence. while the parents' turmoil is clear and present, their daughter remains coolly detached removed from the drama playing out around her. watching events unfold through glass. alone and inscrutable. # volcano man!
8:52 pm
there's nothing inscrutable about eurovision song contest: the story of fire saga. an entertaining romp starring will ferrell and rachel mcadams as the icelandic hopefuls who wind up representing their country and the music extravaganza after it terrible accident obliterates the competition literally. so we are in? yeah. # hey, baby when you look at me. it's easy to sneer at eurovision, but for those of us who love it and aren't afraid to say so, this good—hearted musical comedy strikes just the right note. approaching its subject with a mix of affectionate humour and appropriately outrageous camp pastiche. the plot may be ripped off an old episode of father ted, but there's plenty to enjoy, not least a bare chested dan stevens stealing the show as the beefcake russian favourite, a role which allows screenwriters will ferrell and andrew steele to take satirical
8:53 pm
swipes at the kremlin‘s homophobia while celebrating the inclusivity which lies at the very heart of eurovision. 0h there's a timely reminder that in the current climate, everyone hates the uk. the film is available on netflix now. democrats are getting their as is kicked. we need some way to road test a more rural friendly message. if you can't live your principles and the bad times, i guess they aren't principals, and just hobbies. nice. john wayne and a tractor have a baby, and all you can say is nice? from musical comedy to political satire in the form ofjon stewart's irresistible. no, no, no, that's a lie. that's a lie. no. you're lying. steve carell and rose byrne play warring campaign consultants who descend on a small midwestern town in an attempt to swing a mayoral election to their respective political advantage. chris cooper is colonel jack hastings, a veteran marine and salt of the earth farmer who seems to embody everything the
8:54 pm
democrats need but sorely lack. can i be completely honest with you, no bull? that would be nice. but carell‘s gary, he is bill clinton with impulse control or a churchgoing bernie sanders with better bone density. and so gary attempts to persuade jack to stand for mayor. yeah, we're the good guys. throwing behind him the kind of high—tech campaign that attracts national attention and national dollars. meanwhile, byrne‘s faith shows up to fight to the republican corner as a local election becomes a bellwetherfor greater things. pitched somewhere between the appointed barbs of barry levinson‘s wag the dog, and the fish out of water charm of bill forsyth's local hero, it is broad strokes fair. hardly radical, but still entertaining nonetheless. do you have a bottle opener? no, it's just a twist, twist off. yeah, yeah, yeah. i know. maybe he does need a bottle opener. use your vest. most importantly the nonpartisan action does not try to tie the sickness of american politics to one party oi’ another.
8:55 pm
instead, stewart who proved himself an astute political commentator on the daily show takes aim at a system in which money and power ride roughshod over the interests of ordinary people, whatever their party affiliations. worth noting that irresistible reminds us of the pitfalls of underestimating the so—called common people. who in capra—esque fashion proved more than a match for the elites who try to use them to play politics. drew was a young, powerful something who cared so much about this music. and so went defjam called me and was lax, russell simmons wants to offer you this job as a director of aand r at defjam i could not have scripted it better. if you want something more grounded in reality then why not check out on the record? an eye—opening documentary from kirby dick and amy kearing. i did not tell that many people about what happened with russell. following exposes of sexual abuse within the film industry, on the record centres on drew dixon's mistreatment
8:56 pm
within the music business. specifically at the hands of def jam co—founder russell simmons. i would never hurt anybody. having left a high—profile career in a and r, dixon is seen struggling with whether or not to go public several years later as other women come forward with experiences strikingly similar to her own. he said he looked at her the other day and realised my daughter is not a victim any more, she's a warrior. and i thought, i would like to be a warrior. i'm tired of being a victim. i've been a victim for 22 years. let me see with the other thing feels like. it's powerful, intelligent fare deftly negotiating the intersecting strands of sexism and racism which make it particularly difficult for these women to tell their stories lending an important voice to the metoo movement that had previously been silenced. dearly beloved friends, we gather here... sneeze
8:57 pm
..in this time of man's greay inn0cence. innocence? i will leave you with news that the thoroughly modern adaptation of jane austen's emma is now available on dvd and blu—ray. anya taylorjoy is excellent as the clever and rich hair emma woodhouse whilejohnny flynn clever and rich hair emma woodhouse while johnny flynn combines vulnerability with their weapons grade animal magnetism notably absent from austen's novel as mr knightley. such news! setting bringing up baby is an inspiration alongsidejohn bringing up baby is an inspiration alongside john hughes's me bringing up baby is an inspiration alongsidejohn hughes's me of age movie and they take flirtatious deliveries with austen's source. an approach that pays cloud in a crowd pleasing dividends as reduces the complexities to a caricature screen romp. that's it for this week,
