available in cinemas and in the home. back in 2001, director rob cohen's street racing actioner the fast and the furious proved that nuts and bolts exploitation pics still had a place in the modern movie market. inspired by a magazine article and shot in and around la, it made a healthy profit on its modest mid—range budget. two decades later, the fast and furious franchise has become one of the highest grossing film series of all—time, mutating into a globe—trotting mission impossible style spies and heists behemoth, spawning sequels, feature spin offs and an animated tv series, and raking in more than $6 billion. with money like that, it's no surprise we now have fast and furious 9, aka f9, in cinemas, with further

instalments in the fast saga hot on its heels. you're a natural. of course i am. family is at the forefront once again with the plot centring on a sibling rivalry between vin diesel and john cena, troubled toretto brothers torn apart by tragedy whose lives took very different directions. while diesel�*s dom became a world—saving legend, cena's jealous jakob reinvented himself as doctor evil, planning to fritz all the world's computer systems with what looks like a giant lighty—up rubiks cube. to stop him, our heroes must drive very fast and very furious, wreaking explosive havoc wherever they go, trashing everything in their wake, with no concern for consequences.

so, how do y'all wanna play this? fast. directed by returning series regularjustin lin, this latest instalment turns everything up to eleventy—stupid. with locations ranging from tbilisi, tokyo, london, edinburgh, and outer space. no, really. there's even a sequence that appears to take place in the gap between this world and the next, meaning that if fast 10 is going to top it, they're gonna have to get the whole cast to drive through a black hole and start racing each other in another dimension. screams. i don't wanna die! as for the action, it's high on octane but low on intelligence, merrily dispensing with basic laws of physics, gravity and most importantly, drama, in search of evermore empty spectacle. i mean, once you've watched vin diesel slingshot his car across a canyon on the end of a piece of string while another car is caught midair by a plane, it's hard to believe any of these characters is in any realjeopardy, especially when one character who died in a previous instalment

suddenly turns up miraculously alive because, er, twitter. well, that was new. indeed so farcical is the core team's captain scarlet—like ability to survive being shot at, blown up, burned, drowned, crushed, smashed, bashed, dropped and pummelled — that their invisibility actually becomes a running gag. as for everyone else, well, civilian casualties don't seem to count in the fast universe, meaning that anyone who isn't a movie star winds up being disposable cannon fodder. hey ho. for emotional heft, you have to make do with diesel doing that peculiar mouthy pout thing that is his one dramatic expression, used to signify pain, loss, happiness, grief, excitement, boredom, agitation and probably indigestion. other than that, there's a bunch of cameos, an end credits teaser and a whole lot of product placement for a popular mexican beer. believe me, after nearly 2.5 hours of this brain pummelling nonsense, you'll welcome an adult beverage or two. fast and furious 9 is in

cinemas everywhere now. for something a little less bananas and a little more substantial, check out the korean historical thriller the man standing next in which director woo min—ho revisits the events leading up to the assassination of president park in 1979. lee byung—hun is kim, director of the kcia, whose predecessor is in the us, spilling secrets. sent to silence his friend and retrieve the manuscript for his tell—all memoir, kim finds himself in the middle of a labyrinthine web of intrigue in which no one is to be trusted and everyone is a potential threat. all this plays out against

a backdrop of mounting protests in korea against park's dictatorial regime and pressure from the us to do something about the president. a slick blend of fact and fiction, the stylist political thriller was south korea's entry for the best international feature oscar at the 93rd academy awards. it may not have made the oscar shortlist, but don't let that put you off. the man standing next is genuinely gripping fare, fuelled by the same kind of 70s paranoia that underwrote american hits like the conversation and the parallax view, but given a distinctively chilly, sinewy edge by director woo. it's available in virtual cinemas now and on digital download from july the 5th. from korea to poland with sweat, which boasts an outstanding central performance by magdalena kolesnik as fitness instructor and social media star sylvia.

in public, sylvia is an insta icon, an influencer beloved by her fans, but in private it's a different story, with sylvia's sense of rejection bolstered by everything from the disapproving coldness of her mother to the sinister attentions of a stalker. the only really intimate relationship sylvia seems to share is with her phone, posting personal messages to the virtual world. yet even here the cracks are starting to show, with on—camera tears merely increasing sylvia's celebrity, ironically adding to her state of isolation. written and directed with propulsive energy by swedish film—maker magnus von horn, sweat paints a compelling portrait of a modern malaise.

crucially, sylvia remains in ambiguous figure throughout — her apparent narcissism counterbalanced by a subtle sympathy for her predicament, with kolesnik and von horn leaving it up to the audience to decide how and whether tojudge her — a very impressive balancing act. sweat is in cinemas and on curzon home cinema now. in the �*60s horror classic rosemary's baby from ira levin's satirical novel, mia farrow plays a pregnant woman who believes that her nearest and dearest are conspiring to trap her and her baby in a satanic plot. there's more than a hint of rosemary's baby in the new british chiller kindred in which tamara lawrence's pregnant charlotte finds herself imprisoned in a stately mansion by the mother of her partner, ben. we've, er, we've decided that we are moving. well, that's good. but we're moving to australia.

...excuse me? fiona shaw is margaret, the creepy matriarch who insists that her grandchild will be born in her house despite charlotte and ben's plans to move to the other side of the world. jack lowden is thomas, whose devotion to his stepmother would provoke in approving smile from norman bates. someone help! we did everything we could. i'm sorry. from suspicious cups of tea to a sinister local doctor, so much of kindred seems familiar that it would be easy to dismiss it as simply a modern knock—off of a timeless classic. but director and co—writer joe marcantonio manages to breathe new life into these old riffs, hinting at the supernatural through threatening murmurations of birds, but keeping the drama firmly rooted in reality, suggesting that everything charlotte fears may be in her mind. you're not well. you don't even seem to realise that. plaudits to lawrence

for conveying her character's mounting sense of claustrophobia, drawing us deep into her panic—inducing helplessness. as for shaw, she's terrific as the imposing figure who can be grieving one minute and grievous the next. you can find kindred on sky cinema and now tv. i'll leave you with news of supernova, in which colin firth and stanley tucci play long—time partners sam and tusker. you always seem somehow to get your own way, don't you? come on, it's cosy. no, it's ridiculous. it's nice. you're in the middle of the fair. i'm on the edge. now i'm more on the edge. laughter. having been diagnosed with young onset dementia, writer tusker has neglected to bring his meds on their campervan holiday, to the exasperation of musician sam, who has a recital ahead of him. after the concert, sam

intends to call it a day and dedicate his every waking moment to tusker, but tusker has other plans, determined to be the master of his fate, taking matters of life and death into his own hands. i want to be remembered for who i was and not for who i'm about to become. actor turned writer—director harry macqueen, who made 2014's hinterland, described supernova as an attempt to make a film about what we are willing to do for the people we love, and how we live in a love and laugh even as we near the end of our time. and that's where the milky way is. that may sound toe curling, but supernova has plenty of low—key charm and humour, thanks in large part to the effectively natural and crucially understated performances of the leads. for all its apparently awards—friendly subject matter, supernova is more of a bittersweet break—up movie than a hot topic illness—of—the—week drama. a love story that lifts its entertaining riffs from rom—coms

and odd couple end—of—the—road movies with engaging results. supernova is in cinemas now. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe. next week, it's anna smith. i'll be back in a fortnight. i don't even know why i do it because it really isn't even satisfying any more half the time anyway. so, why do you do it? because of the other half. hello there. most parts of the uk can expect plenty of dry weather on sunday, but that is not the case everywhere. across the south of england in the far south of wales, the potential for some pretty heavy bursts of rain. that rain feeding up from the near continent. across the channel islands into south england to the morning, the odd shower running ahead of that and more persistent rain lightly to extend

into the far south of the afternoon. northern england and ireland and scotland should be largely dried with sunshine. thicker cloud into the far northwest. temperatures between 15—22. there sunday, this rain still affecting southern parts. the midlands and wells, the odd rumble of thunder possible. the northern ireland and scotland staying dry with clear spells, temperatures between 10—16 . we will see further rain across southern parts at times, further north it will be drier right across and warmer —— brighter and warmer.
