that's all from sportsday. thanks forjoining us. stay with us for the film review. hello, and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. i'mjane hill, and to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode.

hi, mark, what have you been watching? fascinating mix this week. we have the phantom of the open, the stranger—than—fiction story of the world's worst golfer. we have paris, 13th district, the story of love in the modern age. and master, a creepy chiller. something for everyone. so let's start with phantom of the open. the story of maurice flitcroft. did you know the story before before the film? because you'd just seen it, as well. i've just seen it, and that's one of the things that really hold your attention. ok, so here played by mark rylance, he is a crane operator. he gets a colour tv, sees some professional golf on the television and thanks, "i could do that." and so decides that he will apply for the open championship despite the fact that his experience in golf is next to nil. here's a clip. good stuff, innit? he speaks latin.

what? "clothes of the gods." well, you only get the best, jim. i thought i wasjohn. john, yeah, john. good luck, john. those sandwiches look nice, jean. love, can you stop worrying about what you look like and finish filling in this form first? what does that mean, "handicap"? it must be me ailments, i suppose. oh, like your false teeth? lombargo, a touch of arthritis, should i put that down? aye, put that down. hello. all right, then. here you go, dad, get a load of that. what's that? money so you can practice on a proper golf course. . so, he applies — through a clerical error or a bit off budging, he manages to get into the qualifiers, where it's not a plot spoiler to say that he doesn't do particularly well. and the really interesting thing — i think there's something very british about embracing the idea of failure as a glorious thing. because certainly, the way that mark rylance plays maurice flitcroft is that he's wholly innocent character.

he's somebody who believes — he keeps quoting oscar wilde, you know, "you're in the gutter but you're looking at the stars." well, why shouldn't i, why can't i? well, there's a very good reason, you haven't been practising since you were seven years old. whereas everybody he's crossed paths with, they have all been practising for that long. but i think the film works because it's charming in the way i did tear up a couple of times because sally hawkins is his incredibly supportive wife who just says, "look, follow your dreams, do whatever it is". also you saw briefly in that clip, the twins, who their dream is to be disco—dancing champions. in the weirdest thing is, you think, the author of the book on the subject before hand, he must�*ve made this up, there's no way that can be true. and of course, all the best, weirdest details are all true.

it's directed by craig roberts, who does a very good job of mixing the down—to—earth stuff with the kind of elements of fantasy. there's a couple of scenes, where he is gazing at the stars and he literally flies off into the stars like a musicalfantasia. did you like it, did you enjoy it? i laughed and cried. there we go! which is one of my favourite things in any piece of art or entertainment. "charming" is absolutely the word. i wasn't quite so sure about those fantasy bits, where he looks up at the stars, i think it lost me a little bit at that point. but it would say, don't read too much about it, go and see it because the story itself... and another thing happens and yourjaw is still on the ground. and you think, no, no that can't have happened. and then, no, he really did that! it's remarkable.

at the end of the film there are little bits of actual news footage which you go, no, this did happen and this that you think can't possibly have happened did happen. i also think it's heart's the right place. there's a lovely moment later on in which he gives a speech about the things that are important to him. honestly, you'd have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by it. it's charming. i agree. some people might say it's "schmaltzy", but there's a lot in there about family and i liked that. and i like schmaltz — if it's done well, i like schmaltz and i like sentimentality. and like you, i like to laugh and i like to cry, and the film made me do both of these things. i really enjoyed it. so also paris 13th district,

which is the new film byjacques audiard. the french title for this is les olympiad, which are the blocks on 13th. this is an intertwining tale of love in the digital age. so it's inspired by short stories of american cartoonist adrian tomine. we have a science graduate living in an apartment that was owned by her grandmother, who is now in a care home, she's not going to visit her. we have a teacher who seems to be moving form one relationship to the next, we have a 30—something—year—old woman who arrived from bordeaux to resume her studies, and then suddenly finds herself in the centre of a mobile phone powered scandal. we have a cam girl who becomes a strange and unexpected friend. the director described this as being the "flip side of my night at maud's. he said, "we now live in an age in which intimacy often precedes the conversations, rather than the other way around". the thing i liked about it is it's presented in black and white, it has a very kind of manhattan edge to it, that kind of romantic view of the environment. and also what's nice is, it doesn't present technology as necessarily bad. it's not the "oh, now we're are all very distant because we've got mobile phones and screens". actually, some of the most intimate scenes in the film are through computer screens, or through a telephone line. i thought that was interesting

because it wasn'tjudgmental. one of the screenwriters on it is celine schiamma, who made my favourite film of last year. i thought it was again, it was much more enjoyable than i expected it to be. partly because i read a couple of reviews that said it's flimsy, it's whimsical. yes, it is, but it's done very well, and i believed in the characters. i liked it, ithink you would like it, too. 0k. master, am i going to like this? it's not a horrorfilm, jane, it's an eerie chiller. there is a touch of jordan peele about this. it's the feature debut from mariama diallo. regina hall is the first black woman to be appointed master of a posh ivy league college in new england. she plays gail bishop. the iv league college is very near to where the salem witch trials took place and there's still people around who dress as if that's the period. it seems like a greatjob, but the school is haunted by the spectre of ghosts, of witches, and also of racism. a new pupil, jasmine, has been told stories that somebody threw themselves to the death out the window. meanwhile, a new college professor is under investigation for unfairly marking a paper. here's a clip. i'm just worry about jasmine. yeah, i mean, who knows what she's gone through. | yes, everything else seems out of control. yeah, but that dispute could control

whether or not i get tenure. - do not be dramatic, all right, you'll be fine... look, i've never seen them so close to town. let's go, we shouldn't be here. come on. so you see, creepy rather than horror film. here's the reason i think that you'll like it. likejordan peele�*s movies, it's using that kind of unsettling format to talk about something that's real and down—to—earth. it's talking about racism, it's talking about the way in which history is always with us. it's talking the way in which people are kind of gaslighted into wondering whether what they're thinking isjust in their head, or whether they are actually in the middle of some strange conspiracy.

i think the best thing about the film is, the audience spends a lot of it feeling the same way as the main characters. like, "hang on, what exactly is going on? "i feel very unsettled, i feel very uneasy, i feel creeped out, "but i'm not entirely sure why." and i think it does a very good job of creating that atmosphere of unease. and that's why i say — i know you're not a fan of horror films, but i know that you are a fan of films which are dramatically gripping and have substance, and have great performances and ideas. yes, yes. and i think this is a film full of ideas. and that's interesting, yeah. there aren'tjump scares — actually, there are a couple... it's not a horrorfilm, jane! it is a substantial eerie chiller, and i'd be very interested to know what you think of it. it's in select cinemas, but also on prime video. you can watch it at home, so it would be interesting to know what you think. okey—doke — best out? i'm going for the batman. i've seen it twice — which is six hours, because it's three hours long.

i think robert pattinson is pretty good. it's a vampiric role anyway, it's a boy dressed as a bat. of course, he rose to fame through the twilight movies, which i love! i will not hear any bad words about the twilight movies. i love the twilight movies, and i think he was great as a shiny vampire in the twilight movies. and here, he's very good as a troubled, sort of, emo goth vampire. i like the way the film looks, it has a very, kind of, textured feel to it. it's not perfect, but after the nolans, where do you go? and i think this goes in an interesting direction, and i think the central performances are pretty decent. yes, and i do want to get around to seeing it. and your dvd choice takes us back to the wonderful person you mentioned earlier. petite maman, my favourite film of last year. 72 minutes long, absolutely perfect. it's so great! it's a fairy tale about these two girls who meet. there's a kind of time—travelling, fairy tale thing going on. and it's just beautiful and mysterious and wonderful. i think it's one of those things that remind you that at its very best, cinema can be

a transcendent, transformative experience. i actually think that you become a better person from watching petite maman. i think it's just — that moment with the pancakes. oh, yes, i mean, you are completely transported for 72 minutes. you just are, you're in another world. yeah, in another world, and absolutely bound up with it. it's heartbreaking and makes you laugh, it makes you cry. oh, it's just wonderful. beautifully made, yes. thank you very much. a really interesting mixed bag, lots to chew over. i'm glad you liked the golfing movie, it's really sweet. myjaw is still on the ground. thank you very much. enjoy your cinema watching whatever you choose to see this week, and streaming, as well. thanks for being with us, see you next time, bye—bye.

hello, here's the good news, the weather will stay settled and sunny all week long, that is if you like settled and sunny weather. the high pressure which is centred around poland and lithuania has really spread right across the continent, around it you can see the clouds rotating just clipping western fringes of the uk so skies hazy at times and there is a case of clear skies through the night with all night on the way, a frosty starting monday but it will be mostly sunny. here are the temperatures in most towns and cities, around freezing or even below and in rural spots of northern england and scotland, it would not be surprised if it falls to minus six celsius but that is the exception. a chilly start across many areas, sunshine right from the word go, there will be a build—up of a bit of cloud through the afternoon and then

pleasant temperatures across central and southern britain, 15—16 c, a bit cold on the north sea coast there off aberdeen, io celsius. in the days ahead, turning warmer, much more warmer weather spreading in from the southern climes all the way from spain, the mediterranean, across france and i think temperatures are likely to hit 20 celsius. we've already had 20 celsius this weekend in western parts of scotland but that was a very, very local effect with high teens and 20 degrees will be more widespread across this portion of the uk and in fact temperatures may spark off one or two showers across central and northern england come tuesday. a really pleasant, warm sunny day with temperatures above average for the time of year. the high pressure is then around the uk with light winds going around in most of the places themselves in centre of that high and you see it to the whole of the week and then

looked bright and sunny with are turning more and settled towards the end of the month. goodbye.

this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm lewis vaughan jones. our top stories... ten million people have now fled their homes in ukraine since the start of the war, more than a quarter of the population. among them children who escaped from besieged mariupol but are left with life changing injuries. all of these are victims of russian attacks. it isn'tjust the physical injuries though, many of these children have deep psychological trauma that they will perhaps never get over. russia has confirmed the first death of one of its senior naval commanders, in the southern port of mariupol. ukraine's president tells the israeli parliament his country is facing the threat of destruction

and compares russia's actions to those of hitler in the 1940s.
