between the past and present in between the past and present in between man and nature and people have memories that are not their memories and there are people who appeared to be dead but then they aren't dead and a lot of this is to do with her wondering if everything is in her own mind as she makes a journey into thejungle is in her own mind as she makes a journey into the jungle to discover some kind of ecstatic truth. i have to say i really liked it because i find this something meditative about this kind of cinema. look at things for a really long time, this is the opening shot before she even wakes up opening shot before she even wakes up and it's not for everybody. but if you are a friend which i am, this is a really intriguing film and in the third act it does something which is completely out of the blue. and i think some people will think this is ridiculous and some people think this is very important and others will think it's a bit of both. i love the fact that with his movies you never know where they are

going. the key to this is swinton. what you're doing is you are watching the world through her eyes. you are watching her befuddlement about the sound. what does it mean, where is it going? why is everything i know about the world suddenly uncertain? and when the film provides an answer or at least some of an answer you would either go below or you go but it's watching her respondent that really makes it work and it's in is on the and i thought it was really impressive, i really liked it.— really liked it. definitely intriguing- _ really liked it. definitely intriguing. it— really liked it. definitely intriguing. it is- really liked it. definitely intriguing. it is horror i really liked it. definitely - intriguing. it is horror movie time aaain. he intriguing. it is horror movie time again- he said — intriguing. it is horror movie time again. he said try _ intriguing. it is horror movie time again. he said try and _ intriguing. it is horror movie time again. he said try and sell- intriguing. it is horror movie time again. he said try and sell this i again. he said try and sell this horror movie. this is the scream franchise which is part sql part reboot in much the same way as the 28th in halloween, it was not called halloween. this is scream. and we

are back in modern—day winnsboro, the ghost face killings which have been immortalised in the film are starting up again and there's the usual cocktail of meta— textual gags because the whole thing about this cream franchises it's a scary movie which people talk about being in a scary movie but there is original cast members and there's also a fresh new blood. the co—directors and writer of this made a film called ready or not. it's a horror movie black comedy hybrid and i really like to. so i went into this with high expectations. they were not generally mats because the film is fine so if you've never seen the wes craven original in the cinema 0k fine they will be a new generation of people wanting to see this on the big—screen department is what you don't have is the fear of the original. the original scream scary. it was scary and also you don't have that an amazing thread of originality. i'm hoping i would say is if you are really interested in scream and you want to see something
5:50 pm
else go back and that at wes craven new nightmare which is the film before scream which is also the film that basically inspired matrix resurrections and every year that goes by that film looks better and better. this is fine and i have no doubt it will be a crowd pleaser but for somebody of my vintage it's there the first time around with scream and it feels a bit like show us a new trick. d0 scream and it feels a bit like show us a new trick.— us a new trick. do we need five of them? 0k- _ us a new trick. do we need five of them? 0k- a _ us a new trick. do we need five of them? 0k. a documentary - us a new trick. do we need five of them? 0k. a documentary for. us a new trick. do we need five of. them? 0k. a documentary for your third choice. it them? 0k. a documentary for your third choice-— third choice. it follows the life of a cow on a _ third choice. it follows the life of a cow on a dairy— third choice. it follows the life of a cow on a dairy farm _ third choice. it follows the life of a cow on a dairy farm and - third choice. it follows the life of a cow on a dairy farm and the . third choice. it follows the life of i a cow on a dairy farm and the cycle of her life is basically impregnation than birth, lactation, separation from times, largely within barnes fairly industrial barns but very briefly out in the open. here is a clip.

place within very confined spaces and it's very industrialised environment. in the remember this film which wasjust environment. in the remember this film which was just an observational documentary about a pig and what the director said he was trying to do is demonstrate the animals living and experiencing creatures but without a narration telling you about that. you get that here and it was shot in very elegant black and white. this is much more urgent hand—held, very up is much more urgent hand—held, very up close and personal and a lot of looking straight into the child's eyes. i have to say it's very well done and very upsetting. i eyes. i have to say it's very well done and very upsetting.- eyes. i have to say it's very well done and very upsetting. i was about to sa , is done and very upsetting. i was about to say. is it — done and very upsetting. i was about to say, is it upsetting? _ done and very upsetting. i was about to say, is it upsetting? it _ done and very upsetting. i was about to say, is it upsetting? it is. - done and very upsetting. i was about to say, is it upsetting? it is. it's - to say, is it upsetting? it is. it's not a film _ to say, is it upsetting? it is. it's not a film which _ to say, is it upsetting? it is. it�*s not a film which tells you what to think about where lecture is you but what it does is it says if you are partaking of the dairy industry you need to be aware of how it works and you need to know where to produce that's on your table comes from. and i think the thing that is really powerful about this is without

5:57 pm
start unfortunately pollution levels have been pretty high across london and the southeast because of the stagnant air but hopefully things will improve tomorrow. tonight for many of us it will be cold with frost and fog returning to many areas. particularly england and wales. the reason for that stagnant air it's because it's been very little or no wind trapped underneath this area of high pressure so we will see the mist and fog reforming for central and southern and eastern areas in particular and further north parts of scotland and northern ireland where the sky is clear you could see across the far northwest scotland holding up around two or three degrees. it ranges from freezing to minus two or 4 degrees. some areas having a hard frost and a cold start to our weekend. the mist and fog around with it so to clear in the day but where it does we will see plenty of sunshine. it could be a bit more crowded around generally on saturday pretty much anywhere and we will have a bit more of a southwestern breeze so that means the air quality should be better across the southeast. around five to
5:58 pm
8 degrees. then saturday into sunday the weather front works southeast and there are more as a bias so it will be a breezy day generally even quite windy across the northern half of scotland. this weather front will smooth southeast across england and wales for sunday with spots of rain on it but the sky is bright with plenty of sunshine and a few showers into the northwest and here it will be gusty with winds up to 50 or 60 mph and lower than that south. but breezy. temperature wise maybe ten or ii breezy. temperature wise maybe ten or 11 degrees across central and southern parts of england the word south wales. the weather front to a player away as we move into the start of the new weekend once again high pressure builds back in so it will be turning right there again and will start chilli with frost and fog in the south. another settled day with sunshine around as temperatures are off to a chilly start ranging from six to nine or 10
5:59 pm
degrees. forthis start ranging from six to nine or 10 degrees. for this time of year. high pressure and dominating the scene for the rest of the week. they will be dry weather and it could be turning colder i think towards the end of the week as we pick up cold northern wind around an area of high pressure.
6:00 pm
