i said, a lot of movement like i said, a lot of movement through cairo before that. their terms have been moved from place to place. they were housed in the iconic egyptian museum. hugely visited by tourists from around the world for the past century, and there we have it. and the mummies of the pharaohs and the greens have arrived. let's catch up the greens have arrived. let's catch up with our weather. it has felt fairly warm and the places where we have had the best of the sunshine today. some eastern areas of england have stayed pretty cloudy and it has

felt quite a lot colder. the satellite picture showers that cloud trying to break up but it has been quite stubborn in places. as we head through this evening and night it is where we had the clear skies that we will see the lowest of the temperatures. some stops underneath this clear zone will see a touch of frost and even then the centre of birmingham for instance will be down around freezing. some mist and fog patches around as well. a chilly start to easter sunday morning but a dry stop for many. and wales should see a decent amount of sunshine. cloud spilling into scotland. for northern scotland we will see a band of rain pushing in and behind that rain band up to the far north we should see some wintry showers starting to shower their hand. temperatures for most ii—is starting to shower their hand. temperatures for most 11—15 on sunday but by monday it is going to turn much, much colder and any showers that do turn up are likely to be wintry. the headlines: new rules for care home visits in england. two people — as well as babies

and young children — will be allowed indoor visits from 12th april. a woman who died after being attacked by 2 dogs who got into her garden through a hole in the fence, has been named as lucille downer, a great—grandmother from the west midlands. thousands of people are in central london, protesting against the government's �*police, crime, sentencing and courts bill'. france has just entered its third national lockdown , non—essential shops and schools across the country are now shut, after a dramatic rise in coronavirus cases. calls for peace tonight, after a night of riots in south belfast, 15 police officers were injured and 8 people were arrested. a polish catholic church in south london accuses the police of "brutally" exceeding their powers by breaking up a good friday service. the mummies of 22 ancient egyptian rulers, will be transported through cairo shortly.

crowds are expected to line the streets, to witness the historic procession. now on bbc news, the film review. hello, welcome to film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best new releases for viewing in the home while we look forward to cinemas reopening in may.

the brilliant french algerian actor, tahar rahim, star of the tv hit, the serpent, got his big break in the 2009 prison drama a prophet for which he won a best actor cesar. now he's up for a bafta for his lead role in the mauritanian, another tale of captivity, this time in the us�*s notorious detention centre at guantanamo bay. they made me. they made you as in they coerced you? what do you think? i don't know, you tell me, did they coerce you? shh! you've gotta tell me what happened, mohamedou. you're asking me to set fire to this place but i'm still sitting here! rahim stars as mohamedou salahi, upon who's real life prison diaries the fillm is based. having been subjected to extraordinary rendition injordan and afghanistan, salahi was held without charge in the american military prison in cuba for iii years. what if you're wrong? we're not.

what if you are? elsewhere in the star—studded cast — jodie foster is nancy hollander, the lawyer who takes on salahi's case with assistant terri duncan, played by big little lies star shailene woodley, and benedict cumberbatch is liutenant colonel stuart couch, tasked with tying salahi to terrorist atrocities. i've never been part of a conspiracy but i'm starting to think that this is what it must feel like to be on the outside of one. i'm sorry, what exactly are you accusing me of? one of the challenges faced by director kevin macdonald, whose career has shifted between fiction and documentaries, is how to make the mauritian's revelations of torture more dramatic, when many viewers will already be well aware of what went on at guantanamo. it's an endeavour in which he is hugely aided by rahim's riveting central performance, which lends a very personal edge to the proceedings, drawing us deep into the nightmare of salahi's individual ordeal, allowing us to see the world through his eyes. being here, i'm— i'm—

i'm like a statue! ironically, for all the horrors of his imprisonment, the mauritanian works best as a portrait of an unbreakable spirit, of someone who came through this ordeal and survived. while both the story and the filmmaking may be somewhat familiar, rahim's performance lifts this out of the ordinary. the mauritanian is on amazon prime video now. a couple of weeks ago i reviewed locked down, a heist caper made on the fly during the pandemic by director doug liman. it was fine, unremarkable, but kind of fun. the same cannot be said of chaos walking, a bloated sci—fi epic which liman originally shot back in 2017, and which is only now crawling out on digital nearly four years later, presumably in the hope that no one will notice. there was a terrible crash. adapted from a popular ya

source by patrick ness, author of the brilliant a monster calls, chaos walking plays out on a colonised planet where the men can all hear each other�*s thoughts. an interesting idea that owes a debt to the books and radio shows of douglas adams, but which is here visualised with a silly purple fog that looks like some kind of psychic body odour. woah! stop! don't come any closer! girl, girl. it's a girl. oh, my gosh. where are you from? you're a girl. no noise, are you from earth? girl! shut up. sorry, i'm sorry. i've never... never seen a girl before. onto this planet falls viola, played by star wars heroine daisy ridley, who teams up with tom holland's youthful renegade, todd. it was strange for me too not knowing what's going on in your head. legend has it that all the women in todd's tribe were killed during a war with the indigenous spackle — and yes, they really are called the spackle — stop laughing at the back. but one look at mads mikkelsen's sinister mayor tells you that foul deeds are afoot, which is fitting

since watching this is rather like stepping in a big pile of poo. get in the boat! todd, i can't swim! you won't have to! get in! originally scripted by a now uncrareited charlie kaufman, chaos walking was a chaotic production from the outset, beset by endless re—writes, reshoots, dismal test screenings and disastrous word—of—mouth. the result, which cost around $100 million, is simply one of the stupidest and most boringly inept sci—fi fantasies i have ever seen. a movie that makes the dystopian maze runner and divergent films look every bit as ground—breaking as blade runner. i'd rather stay with you, todd. i'd rather be with you. kiss me, todd. kiss me, kiss me. seriously, comparare to tom holland arguing with the animated purple haze of his thoughts, the sight of sean connery in a posing pouch climbing into a giant flying head in zardoz looks positively sensible. chaos walking is available

for premium rental on all digital platforms now. in the 2002 documentary lost in la mancha, bafta nominated producer lucy darwin captured the unfinished story of terry gilliam's ill—fated attempts to make his dream project — the man who killed don quixote. now in he dreams of giants, she re—teams with co—directors keith fulton and louis pepe to watch gilliam finally complete the project on which he began work nearly 30 years earlier. prepare to die, foul and fearsome giant! laughter boom! the lance pails the sail, boom, and quixote is wrenched from the rocinante, thrown...! there's a revised script and a new cast, withjonathan price as the man who believes he is quixote, and adam driver stepping into the shoes originally filled by johnny depp as the somewhat empty director who becomes sancho panza. as before, there are huge battles to be fought, not least with gilliam's

health, which at one point seems to fail him just as the finishing post is in sight. am i dying here? after all of this time, on the film, and i die before we finish it? yet, like werner herzog, gilliam has always been a good soldierfor cinema — someone who refuses to take defeat lying down and is willing to do whatever it takes to get their vision on screen. it's often said that drama is conflict and there's no shortage of conflict here as gilliam rails against the movie gods who seemed determined to thwart his efforts. but while it can be painful watching a filmmaker going through hell, he dreams of giants captures both the agony and the ecstasy of the creative process, offering what is ultimately a celebration of one of cinema's great mavericks. a modern quixote. towards the end, you're sitting there pondering, did you change the world? did you make a difference? you can find he dream of giants on digital platforms now,

along with gilliam's the man who killed don quixote, which is also available on dvd and blu—ray. now, one of this award season's big contenders is minari, a winning drama from writer—director lee isaac chung, with multiple nominations including best picture at the oscars and best film not in the english language at the baftas. david, look! they're wheels! steven yeun and yeri han are jacob and monica yee, a korean couple who relocate from california to arkansas where jacob dreams of starting his own farm. monica, however, is worried about the fate of their family, particularly young son david, who has a heart condition that prevents him from any form of physical exertion.

enter a scene—stealing yuh—jung youn as the grandmother who comes to live with the yee family and who rivals tsai chin's performance in lucky grandma as the screen's most lovably irascible 0ap. meanwhile will patton is paul, an eccentric korean war vet and religious fanatic who helps jacob on the farm between performing impromptu exorcisms and dragging a large cross up the highway. it's clear from the outset that faith will be a central theme of minari, which takes its name from a weed—like vegetable that can thrive in the toughest of circumstances and that significantly flourishes in its second season after dying and being reborn. that theme of rebirth runs throughout the film, which boasts the kind of trial by fire tests and everyday miracles beloved of best picture contenders. yet what makes minari more

than just another formulaic feel—good film is the grit with which chung evokes the hard—scrabble lives of these characters, balancing the dreamy elements of the drama with a naturalism that keeps it rooted in reality. aided by a superb score by emile mosseri that forms a bridge between the mundane and the magical realist elements. child squealing. minari is available on demand and through virtual cinema screenings now, and then in drive—in cinemas from 12 april. i'll leave you with news of godzilla vs kong — the latest instalment in legendary pictures' expanding monsterverse. dramatic music. this is our only chance. we have to take it. the plot, if you can

really call it a plot, finds kong being returned to his mythical homeland, crossing paths en route with the fire breathing lizard while a sinister corporation manufactures a showdown with a potentially even more destructive adversary. it's godzilla. of the previous series instalments, my favourite was kong: skull island — not least because director jordan vogt—roberts managed to wrestle a franchise behemoth into a weirdly sinny literate oddity that tipped its hat towards apocalypse now, hell in the pacific and even cannibal holocaust — like an indie movie thatjust happened to cost millions and millions of dollars. there's little of that quirkiness in this latest instalment helmed by adam wingard whose directorial cv includes you're next, the guest, and the 2016 blair witch reboot. the plot makes no sense, even by monster movie standards, the characters are paper—thin and the wanton destruction is so inconsequential that it becomes hard to care,

especially when viewed at home rather than on a massive cinema screen. while big creatures fighting can be fun, the biggest problem with godzilla vs kong is that it keeps reminding you of all the other films you'd rather be watching, from ishiro honda's original 1954 godzilla — still an atom—age classic, to guillermo del toro's pacific rim — the high watermark of giant mechanoids punching massive monsters. still, godzilla vs kong does what it says and it's available to rent from a range of vod platforms now. that's it for this week, thanks for watching the film review, stay safe and i'll see you next week. pretty boy! i'm not pretty, i'm good—looking!
