best movies for viewing in the best movies for viewing in cinema and in the home. there are several high—profile documentaries released this week including two very different portraits of two very different swedish figures. we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction, devastation of our great forests, toxic air production, lots of insects and wildlife and our oceans and bees are all disastrous trends. from the loan and the anonymity of her first school strike outside the

swedish parliament in stockholm to her speech to be un in new york where she upbraided the leaders of the world for failing to discuss the crisis that's destroying the planet. away from the spotlight to get glimpses of her more private life of the personal to all these public appearances have ta ken the personal to all these public appearances have taken from her and her homesickness and her longing to get back with her daughter and most importantly her experience of asked burgers which taught her to do with being unpopular when young and helped her to focus on a problem that others seem keen to face head—on. of course as greta herself said her own focus should not be on her but on climate change and an issue which perhaps sits uneasily with a documentary which makes very nature is about her. but there is no doubting that is what greta thunburg has become albeit at the cost of a normal childhood fruit. you can find iam greta normal childhood fruit. you can find i am greta in cinemas now.

from a swedish activist to a swedish film maker, the subject of the strange and wonderful documentary being a human person. having scored a hit with the first feature with a swedish love story he reacted badly to the success took five years to make a second film the party received after which he concentrated instead on commercials and shorts. setting up his own studio in stockholm he created a world in which he had total control and from which he had total control and from which he had total control and from which he produced his living trilogy. working this way is messy because

it's about raw feelings. it takes us inside the studio as he and his team played away at fm about aimlessness. as always in every detail of the film is constructed in the studio conjuring scenes in which nothing is left to chance but and who thinks the spam will be his last is also confronting his own demons in the form of alcoholism with which his collea g u es form of alcoholism with which his colleagues and family are losing patience. i am not very surprised but disappointed. negotiating a theme line between celebration and investigation, his melancholy documentary watching him at work observing both the perfectionism that he demands and the frustration of those who have to deal with his increasing unpredictability. inevitably there is a and being at play with anderson struggling to finish what's being called his final film and thereby confronting his own mortality. but scott does a terrific job of highlighting the humanism

that the heart of his absurd work exhibiting the same sympathy that i’u ns exhibiting the same sympathy that runs throughout his subject's a real tragic movies. you can find being a human person on home cinema and in theatres along with a touring retrospective of three of his features. imagine if you could offer a memory like sand. and whenever you wa nt a memory like sand. and whenever you want you could open it. it would be activating the moment all over again. the novel rebecca was first founded by alfred hitchcock in 191i0 with joan fontaine founded by alfred hitchcock in 191i0 withjoan fontaine as a young woman swept off her feet and installed in his palatial home as a second miss is winter. now, director of site fears and high—rise has rebated ——

we visited the novel by a screenplay impressive credits include kick as and the woman in black. in this new version in cinemas now on netflix from the 21st, lady james is the heroine haunted by the ghosts of the past while kristin scott thomas stepped into the role of housekeeper it previously and memorably failed byjudith anderson. it is the differences between best and they hitchcock that are the new films strongest suit unlike the predecessor the central character seems to have a little more agency in history, less of a helpless and of faith. it is also my passion and less of an age difference between maxine and his bride with early scenes of their blossoming romance containing a spark absent from

previous screen versions. but perhaps the most striking beef that is in the character for whom the director exhibits much sympathy despite her sinister reputation. i sympathy which way scott thomas praised deliciously. she was the level of his life. the results may not be a classic but it does at least sta nd not be a classic but it does at least stand in its own right am earning its place at a weighty adaptation of an endearing literary source rather than a poor imitation of somebody else's movie. just as rebecca has inspired a range of films and tv set —— tv shows and stage adaptations, so that the 19th century nevada spawning numerous spin offs

ta ke take herup take her up the stairs. in the new british movie carmila, german actress is the mysterious stranger who unexpected arrival at an english country estate in the late 18th centuries is a rebellious passions in nara played by hannah. to my eye anyway... this take on carmila sidesteps them more embedded source. instead it conjures a world in which oui’ instead it conjures a world in which our heroine donning sexuality is perceived as the real threats to be driven out by any means necessary. while this newcomer may bite i may be too restrained for this genre

being raised. it's the most natural thing in the world and the most sacred duty. written by a wide that —— the other lamb follows films like the liquor man and midsummer and its convincing indication of the everyday madness of cult life cut off from the mainstream society which shepherd describes as broken. but like the handmade scale to which there are echoes to the more familiar world in its depiction of a charismatic male charlatan leader for claiming his own divinity while lighting it up over his followers and inflicting his self—serving beliefs upon winning who he claims to read there but enslaves and exploits and abuses. does that sound familiar? you can decide for yourself by watching the other lamb

in cinema. matrons will be next month. they have absolutely no idea what it means to have a father in the house. what bothers even do. i will leave you with news of another documentary, at this one available in select cinema and amazon prime video. focusing on an african—american family and apart by imprisonment, time offers a very personal and intimate account of one woman's struggle to raise her children while her husband is serving a 60 year sentence for a robbery they both connected back in the 90s. —— they both connected. drawing on a wealth of home video footage to document the life robert was missing while behind bars, the profoundly affecting film investigates the toll that imprisonment has taken upon a mother and her children outside of those prison walls. there is a real poetry

to the monogram film making with superbly edited archives into cuts with contemporary footage creating a time—shifting montage that ebbs and flows a nd time—shifting montage that ebbs and flows and lyrical and musical fashion. the subject matter may be tough but this superb documentary is as uplifting as it is eye—opening. that's it for this week, thank you for watching the film review, stay safe, and i'll see you next week. hello. october has found a spell of quieter weather for the middle of month and although there have been some sunny spells around over the past few days, in fact, for a time it looked very nice on guernsey today, over the weekend, we can expect a lot of cloud and there is a ridge of high pressure that is extended across the uk. again, a lot of cloud around

and still producing a bit of patchy rain and drizzle at times, although not amounting very much. a flow of air coming down from the north, so, it is quite cool out there. now, as we look at things as we go through the night, we'll be seeing some breaks in the cloud today, and we are expecting the sky to fill in with cloud, maybe still a few breaks down towards southwest england, so some rural spots in the low single figures but for most of us, cloudy, damp and drizzly night and temperatures holding a good few degrees above freezing as we start the day tomorrow. but you can see all of the cloud across the uk tomorrow, again, some light rain or drizzle in places and more especially in towards scotland and northern england into the afternoon. only very limited breaks in the cloud so do count oyurself lucky if you get to see much in the way of sunshine, and a few heavy showers maybe affecting the channel islands towards cornwall and devon. these temperatures are a bit below average for the time of year, though the winds are very light. here's a picture for saturday evening, still damp in places, especially in parts of scotland and northern england, a few showers into northern ireland and for part two of the weekend on sunday, not much change, probably an area of thicker cloud

through parts of england and wales with some light rain associated with that, pushing a bit further north, may allow wales and southern england to brighten up a bit into the afternoon. or at least a bit milder here but a cooler day into scotland and northeast england. some rain maybe to end the day, parts northern ireland was in scotland in northeast england. some rain maybe in the day, parts northern ireland was once calendars are going to monday, perhaps due to the developing area of low pressure and these are the fronts are coming pattern, much more active in the next week and on monday, bringing in the rains for parts of northern england, northern ireland and breeze elsewhere. that technically turning a bit milder on monday but then again, not sure if that is particularly those areas that are seeing the rain. as with the rest of the week, low pressure remains quite close by, will be rainy all the time but there will be some rain at times and some that can be quite heavy and windy in places too. so yes, quite a spell of weather right now, but most of that if that's what you want, you change next week.
