back in the early �*70s, diana ross earned a best actress oscar nomination for playing jazz legend billie holiday in lady sings the blues. now, rise up singer andra day is following in ross's footsteps, shaping up as a possible contender for the forthcoming oscar nominations for her standout performance in the united states vs billie holiday. woman: i love you, billie! i'm not nervous up here tonight. all these reporters keep asking me, "billie, why you do the things you do?" or, "why don't you be like this person or that person?" this is what i tell them. music. applause. taking its title from “181947 court

case which resulted in holiday being sentenced to a year and a day for possession of narcotics, the movie paints holiday as the target of a vindictive campaign by racist war—on—drugs bureaucrat harry anslinger, played by garrett hedlund. # there ain't nothing i can't do or nothing i can't say...# believing her performances of the lynching—themed ballad strange fruit to be a call to arms, anslinger sets agentjimmy fletcher on holiday's case, with instructions to infiltrate her inner circle and bring her down. you've heard those lyrics. they provoke people. # blood on the leaves # and blood at the root...# written by pulitzer prize—winner suzan—lori parks and directed by lee daniels, who made precious and the butler, this retelling of holiday's story imagines a relationship between the singer and the federal

agent sent to spy on her, understandable when he's played by the broodingly handsome trevante rhodes, who made such an impact in moonlight. it reminds them that they're killing us. yet focusing on this speculative conflicted romance ironically undercuts the more powerful narrative about holiday's role as of a voice of civil rights activism and the authorities�* desire to silence her by any means necessary. # ..the twisted mouth... it doesn't help that daniels, who's always been a gleefully unruly director, throws the audience several stylistic curveballs, careening wildly from stagey interviews to hallucinatory horrors and audacious musical interludes, giving the drama a disjointed episodic air. # ..that sudden smell... what saves the film from falling apart, however, is day, whose performance in the title role is utterly mesmerising. while the movie itself may be chaotic, she keeps it grounded in reality, perfectly capturing both the elegant poise and raw power of her character. #..crop...

the united states vs billie holiday is available now on sky cinema. # identity is the crisis, can't you see?# from one revolutionary musical figure to another, with poly styrene: i am a cliche, a moving and engaging documentary presented and co—directed by the punk icon�*s daughter, celeste bell. everybody�*s looking desperately to our child, identifying them with one thing instead of themselves, and that's what that's about. born of anglo—somali parentage in bromley in 1957, mariannejoan elliott—said was a young wannabe fashion designer and pop reggae singer whose life was transformed by seeing an early sex pistols gig on hastings pier. reinventing herself as poly styrene, she put an ad in the paper for musical young punks and formed x—ray spex, who had a string of hits

like germfree adolescents and the day the world turned dayglo, but it was the anthemic oh bondage up yours! which became poly styrene's battle cry, a thrillingly catchy burst of rage against oppression which would inspire a generation of post—punk riot grrrls. i find a kind of solace in retracing her footsteps. when poly styrene died at the age of 53, celeste found herself the keeper of her mother's legacy, a role she initially resisted, but in this terrifically intimate documentary, we find her sifting through the pages of poly styrene's life — from her incarceration in a psychiatric institution to her time with the hare krishna movement and her growing relationship with her daughter, with whom she worked on her acclaimed album generation indigo. i want to go back to africa and find my heritage. with rare archive material and diary entries read by ruth negga, i am a cliche, which takes its title from one of poly�*s songs, is fascinating fare,

offering a thrilling and sometimes heartbreaking account of a trailblazer who was hailed in tony parsons' and julie burchill�*s obituary of rock and roll: the boy looked atjohnny as punk�*s reigning queen, blessed with the finest imagination of her generation. do you trust white people? laugh. on the strength of this doc, that's no overstatement, although the film manages to balance the cultural impact of poly styrene's public image with more personal tales, with very affecting results. glasgow film festival hosts the world premiere of poly styrene: i am a cliche on saturday the 27th, and it's released across the uk and ireland through virtual cinema screenings from march the 5th. now, back in 2003, the unashamedly stupid �*70s slasher throwback wrong turn served up a bunch of youngsters getting lost in the remote forests of west virginia, where monstrous, inbred cannibals proceeded to kill and dismember them, kind of like deliverance meets the hills have eyes, but the only brains on the menu

were those being eaten by the locals. it's gory fun, but not much more than that. astonishingly, wrong turn spawned not one, not two, but five sequels and prequels, to which another instalment has now been added in the shape of a reboot penned by original screenwriter alan b mcelroy. thunderclap. it's a story people here know, but don't talk about, except in whispers. anyone who goes up there... what is this place? guys?! ..they don't come back. in this shiny new incarnation of wrong turn, youngsters hiking the appalachian trail, who clearly haven't seen any of the previous instalments, decide to ignore local warnings to stick to the path and head off in search of a civil war fortress in the forests, where they are terrorised and tortured by antler—wearing isolationists who call themselves the foundation.

meanwhile, matthew modine plays the worried parent who goes in search of his missing daughter and finds himself stumbling into a hillbilly remake of midsommar. whoa! shot in muted tones that recall the washed—out rural look of wes craven�*s last house on the left, this wrong turn is certainly more thoughtful than its predecessor, allowing its characters to discuss themes of racism, class prejudice, sexuality and the politics of barbarism, before crushing their skulls with tree trunks, throwing them in pointy animal traps and skewering them with red—hot pokers. come on, help me pull him out. while none of this could be described as original, it is at least pleasantly diverting, in a squishily unpleasant way. ok, so the plot makes no sense whatsoever and there's little of the genuinely disturbing violence—begets—violence themes of the �*70s classics to which this pays homage, but director mike p nelson does pull off a few haunting set pieces and charlotte vega makes a convincing final girl foil to bill sage's beardy cult leader. wrong turn is available

on digital platforms now, with a blu—ray release scheduled for may. cheering. new york! if you're looking for a smart blu—ray purchase right now, then check out the bfi's release of mogul mowgli, starring and co—written by the great riz ahmed. # what's it gonna be? # don't you wanna try? he plays zed, a rapper who is struck down by a debilitating sickness on the brink of his first world tour and who finds himself facing a future as uncertain as the identity he struggles to define. i'm outstanding because i stand out, and where i'm standing is going to be great! ahmed has called mogul mowgli a "sufi horror musical with elements of comedy", and it's every bit unusual as that description implies. this is an impressively unpredictable hybrid that grabs the audience's attention and draws us deep into the world of zed's highly personal experience.

it's well worth your attention. # all i can eat while i'm on this vacation # all you can take �*fore it breaks him...# i'll leave you with news of another blu—ray release, the criterion collection edition of wes anderson's 2014 gem the grand budapest hotel. of wes anderson's 2014 gem hold it. of wes anderson's 2014 gem who are you? of wes anderson's 2014 gem i'm zero, sir, the new lobby boy. of wes anderson's 2014 gem zero, you say? of wes anderson's 2014 gem yes. — of wes anderson's 2014 gem well, i've never heard of you, never laid eyes on you. who hired you ? mr mosher, sir. mr mosher! yes, monsieur gustave? am i to understand you surreptitiously hired this young man in the position of a lobby boy? he's been engaged for a trial period, pending your- approval, of course. 0h... perhaps, yes. thank you, mr mosher. you're most welcome, monsieur gustave. - featuring terrific performances by a cast that includes ralph fiennes and tilda swinton, this brilliantly oddball affair contains everything you'd want from a madcap anderson caper — art theft, murder, love, prison breaks, steam trains,

cable cars, occupying armies, dead cats, a clandestine order of fraternal concierges and elaborate cakes. and you think i did it. hey! it all comes with a host of extras, including commentaries and behind—the—scenes footage, although personally i prefer tojust lose myself in the movie, which is one of anderson's funniest and most tightly—wound confections. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe, and i'll see you next week. if i learn you ever once laid a finger on my mother's body, living or dead... i go to bed with all my friends! 0h! hello. the weather's been pretty good across most of the uk lately, and there's every reason to believe that's how it's going to stay over the next few days. there is a possibility that we'll have some rain in the south of the country come wednesday, but not for now.

that's a big area of high pressure that's sitting on top of the uk. it's dominating the weather across much of western and central europe as well, so it's notjust us enjoying the sunshine. so, through the early hours, a lot of the uk is clear. there will be a touch of frost, but milder in the north west of the country. i think in belfast and glasgow, around five degrees first thing, whereas parts of central england, around freezing early in the morning. now, i will point out it may start off cloudy, at least in the morning, even foggy in places, even spots of drizzle in the south east and east anglia. but eventually, the sunshine will develop. i think especially out west, we're in for a beautiful sunny day. that's it from me. enjoy.
