so disgraceful you ought to be in politics. that was impersonal. are you pro—german? no, i'm pro human. we are not here to discuss humanity, that is religiousi fear of operation. and what of morality? i think it's such a good performance. so the film looks at his life in wartime, after the war in which she surrounded, and later on his marriage in later years he's played by peter capaldi. at the time he's played by peter capoldi he's basically become very, very embittered and you know, feelings of failure and desolation. and what's interesting about the film is, i think that terrence davis has found in the life of siegfried sassoon a number of elements that chime with his own preconceptions. there is a story about a character

who is conflicted about his sexuality and that is something in which terrence davis has addressed indirectly in his films before. there's the issue of religion. siegfried converted to catholicism later in life and terrence davies kind of famously. turned his back on the church after feeling abandoned by it. and so what you have is an artist, a poet of the cinema making a film about a poet whose life encompasses and social changes but at the centre of it it is a really kind of heartbreaking story about somebody who can't be who they are, isn't sure who they are, isn't certain that the art they are making is actually as good as it ought to be and seems to be trapped in a situation when they want to change the world, they want to change themselves and they are constantly thwarted. it's like a collage, it flips backwards and forwards in time and we get different actors playing the same characters. as always with terrence davies

movies, is beautiful to look at, he is a real poet of cinema. but the best thing about it is, it's a personalfilm, you can feel the film—maker talking to you through the film. i think that terrence davies is one of our great treasures. he makes films like four or five years, he doesn't churn them out. but every time he does, they are worth stopping and watching. if you are a terrence davies fan you go, 0k, fine, great it's a terrence davies film. if you're not, i think this is a very good way in because it's accessible. people know the story of siegfried sassoon to some extent. they know the story, they know the parameters. this is a way of looking at that story. it is emotionally exhausting. it's not a bunch of laughs although there are laughs in it, strangely enough. but i just thought it was...

yeah, this is what film poetry looks like and let's have more of this, please. okay. right. let's talk about emergency. so, as i said, tag line, "it's not what it looks like." what it looks like is a frat boy comedy. so two best friends who are set to become the first black members of their college and in epic seven parties in one night, which is my idea of hell, frankly. they have to go back to their house and they discover an unidentified white girl passed out on the floor. one of them was to call 911, the other one says, "no, we can't do that. if the police turn up, look at us and find her, what will they think? " and so through that logic that only ever works it films, they decide to put her unconscious into their car and take her somewhere else, which at this point her sister who realises that she's missing starts tracking her on a mobile phone. so it goes from being a comedy, a kind of animal house frat boy comedy to being something... tense, it's making me feel tense. yeah, fine. so, it's about police brutality, it's about the racism of the white liberal middle classes, it's all those things but he keeps

looking like it's a frat boy comedy. the weird thing is, ifound that the comedy and the horror elements worked against each other. there is a sort of jordan peel —type satire in there somewhere but it was fascinating to discover that this began life as a short film. and you know, sometimes you see a feature and you go, ok, but it was overstretched and then you discover that it was a really successful short film. and you go, ok that would've made sense. i suspect that it would have worked better as a short film. not to say there aren't good things in it. there are. it's in theatres now in its own prime video from the 27th. but i felt it didn't succeed overall but it does have some interesting ideas in there is one moments, a loss of innocence moment in it that looks like it's from another film because it so well done. but, yeah, elements pulling in different directions, doesn't quite work but in interesting idea. okay. right. let's talk about the innocents. where you stand horror films? i like to be frightened by a horror film. ok, i think you like this.

co—wrote worst person in the world was a huge success. four kids between seven and ii stumble upon the knowledge that they have telekinetic abilities, their minds are linked and they can move objects with their minds. at first it seems like a lot of fun and then it takes a darker turn. here's a clip. now, ifound this really atmospheric.

firstly, the english language title evokes turn of the turn of the screw, the innocence, film adaptation, the turn of the screw. the plot, young people with powers is a bit x—men but it's also go a bit village of the damned. it was the village of the damned? no. it reminds me of stranger things a bit. stranger things a bit. yes, there is an element of that although it's actually much more properly darkly sinister. i'll tell you why. although the characters are younger, it's an olderfilm. and what i mean by that is, by director has said that as far as they are concerned, kids are beyond good and evil. they are not little angels but they are born, and this is a quote, "without any sense of empathy and morals and we have to teach them that. " what the film is about is that kind of innately chilling idea of people having powers that they don't know what to do with put up at the same time as

they are attempting to make sense of the world which is fundamentally really confusing. you know when your kid, i'm nearly 60, this is a long time ago, everything was overwhelming, every tiny thing was overwhelming. imagine that in a circumstance in which it turns out that you then have a power that perhaps it supernatural because for a long part of the film you not sure it's happening, you not sure whether they are even imagining all of this. and there is cruelty, there is cruelty and there is cruelty in childhood and there is a couple of passages in this in which that cruelty is in the film. what i thought was really well done about it however, the atmosphere of it makes... your mesmerize watching you, terrific performances by the young cast, incidentally. because they are all playing it completely believably, it's not some great big overblown schreeky melodrama.

what it is is a low—key story about kids discovering the world that happens to be amped up by the fact that they have this borderline supernatural power. i mean, there's an argument about telekinesis but... i was really, really engrossed. not least because i spent a lot of the film thinking, "where is this going, how dark is this gonna get, what's it going to turn into? " and the director kept me guessing all the way through. and the kids performances were really good. it's kind of heartbreaking as well. but it's chilling, and the director was asked, is it a horror film and they said well, i love horror and so if they say they are frightened by it that i take that as a compliment. i'm a huge horrorfan so i liked it very much. it's in cinemas and on digital platforms if you get it chance to see it and cinema i think it's kind of worth it because it's got a real cinematic feel to it. i think it will work at home as well but it does have a real cinematic feel to it. is it for teens or young adults or is it too scary?

is up and it's too scary. i think it means more the older you are. it's like one of those things, the further you get from childhood the more... if you think about celine see mars films, i am nearly 60 years old and she makes films about young people who i've got nothing in relation to but i understand the films. you don't look at. less than a minute to tell us about the last bit for the quiet girl which is a beautiful irish film that you must go and see, so fabulous. young girl is sent to stay with relatives discovered perhaps for the first time what it's like to be loved and what it's like to be nurtured. it's so gentle and kind and human and beautiful score. it'sjust, it's pretty near perfect, actually. i don't know anyone who's seen it who hasn't loved it. that's my best out in cinema. also a quick note for re—issue, robocop. have you seen robocop?

no. okay. robocop is back in cinema in 48 restoration. robocop is a breakthrough movie. i remember seeing robocop when it first came out way, way, way back. i thinking, "i've never seen anything like this before. this is just, wow." and back in cinemas with 48 restoration. if you had a chance, go see it. will do. that's it for this week. thank you very much for watching. hello. we've got some sunshine on the horizon for tomorrow. at least many of us have, not everybody but i think overall the weekend isn't looking too bad at all with sunny spells and scattered showers. we got quite a few showers around at the moment. after what's been a really wet day across many southern parts of the uk put up the thick reindeer and cloud is now cleared out into the north sea but in its wake we also have these widespread showers

affecting parts of scotland and northern england. i think through the small hours of saturday it is going to eventually dry out, they will be clear spells. not particularly cold first thing on saturday, around ten in glascow and ii saturday, around ten in glascow and ii in london. the forecast for tomorrow shows find weather across the bulk of england and wales, in fact may be a little bit of clout here and there at times and the odd shower. but the bulk of the cloud will actually be further north. this is around four o'clock in the afternoon, lovely weather across many southern parts of the country, central england and wales to come at temperatures around 18 degrees or so. then we get to northern ireland and also scotland, weather fronts brushing here coming off the atlantic and i think at times it really will be quite overcast with outbreaks of raid, particularly across western and central scotland. aberdeen share probably getting a little bit of brightness during the day. here it should cloud over. what day. here it should cloud over. what day and that was in aisles and parts

of scotland where as for the south it stays dry right until the days end. the forecast for sunday shows a weather system still very close by in the northwest where as many parts of england under the influence of the high pressure. actually, the air will be coming and generally from the soul so i think the temperatures will bump up a little bit during the course of sunday, we could see almost the mid—20s across the southeast. but again, in the northwest and western areas of the uk often cloudy and breezy with showers and longer spells of rain here in the western aisles. pretty chilly are our friends in stornoway, only 12 celsius was up then 24th degrees in the southeast was or how about the outlook into next week was back it looks as though the weather is looking fairly settled again across london, the southeast was up i think that's where the best of the weather will be. many of the country will be quite often cloudy with showers at times. that's it. have a

good weekend.
