he got the military cross for conspicuous gallantry. and then he famously wrote a soldiers declaration, which was published in the press and read in the house of commons, in which he accused his superiors of turning a war of defence and liberation into one of aggression and conquest. here's a clip. i wanted to state my position regarding the conduct of the war. it is not your place to question how the war is being prosecuted. - your duty lies in obeying orders. duty? that word covers a multitude of sins. in the face of such slaughter one cannot simply order one's conscience. one can do better than that, one can ignore it. _ that reply was so disgraceful you ought to be in politics. that was impertinent, lieutenant. are you pro—german? no, i'm pro—human.

we're not here to discuss i humanity, that is religion's sphere of operations. 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 he surrounded by others and later on his marriage. in later years he's played by peter capaldi. and by 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 davies 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 davies 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 these huge political 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 flits backwards and forwards in time and we get different actors playing the same characters. as always with terrence davies movies, it's beautiful to look at, he is a real poet of cinema. but the best thing about it is, it's a personal film, 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 to complete an epic — which is 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 wants 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 in 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 it 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 ofjordan peele—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 and on prime video from the 27th. but i felt it didn't succeed overall, but it does have some interesting ideas and there is one moment, a loss of innocence moment in it, that looks like it's from another film because it's so well done. but, yeah, elements pulling in different directions, doesn't quite work, but an interesting idea. okay. right, let's talk about the innocents. where do you stand on horror films? i like to be frightened by a horror film. ok, i think you'll like this. this is by eskil vogt, who co—wrote worst person in the world, which was a huge success. four kids between seven and ii stumble upon the knowledge that they have telekinetic abilities, that 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 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 a bit

village of the damned. have you seen the village of the damned? no. it reminds me of 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 older film. and what i mean by that is, the 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, at the same time as they are attempting to make sense of the world which is fundamentally really confusing. you know when you're a 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's

supernatural because for a long part of the film you not sure if it's happening, you not sure whether they are just imagining all of this. and there is cruelty, 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... you're mesmerized watching it, terrific performances by the young cast, incidentally. because they are all playing it completely believably, it's not some great big overblown shrieky 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 horrorfilm 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 a chance to see it in the 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 and young adults or is it too scary? it's not that 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 sciamma's films, they mean a lot to me. 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 it. less than a minute to tell us about the last bits. 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 a 4k restoration. robocop is paul verhoeven�*s breakthrough movie. i remember seeing robocop when it first came out way, way, way back. i was thinking, "i've never seen anything like this before. this is just, wow." and back in cinemas

with 4k restoration. if you had a chance, go see it. will do. that's it for this week. thank you very much for watching. bye— bye. hello, there was a north—south divide, weatherfronts brought divide, weather fronts brought cloud, divide, weatherfronts brought cloud, some showery outbreaks of rain. high pressure hanging on in across england and wales, the cloud did develop as we went through the afternoon with some warm sunshine, london saw a high of 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. but where the cloud and rain lingered across the highlands, we had half an inch during the day, a fairly grey affair at times and that rain is still sitting there, chiefly to the north—west of the great glen but certainly more cloud along western fringes, quite a murky start to the day with a few isolated showers here and there as well. the

best of the sunshine, the best of the warmth, if we draw a line from cardiff towards norwich, anywhere south and east of that could potentially see highs of 23 degrees, with the wind direction light and coming from the southerly. a little more cloud and spots of rain in wales and the north of england, showers into the north of ireland and north—west of the great glen, so here are a bit fresher, 13—17 the overall high. those weather fronts will ease away as we move through the latter stages of sunday, weakening all the time. but something worth bearing in mind is this where the front that's going to push up from the near continent. it mightjust bring some sharp showers across the far south—east corner as well and also worth bearing in mind, the wind direction changing to more of a north—westerly. there were cooler feel. of a north—westerly. there were coolerfeel. it of a north—westerly. there were cooler feel. it will push the warm air we've seen away from the south—east corner as well so a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather potentially on monday. we need to keep an eye on those showers. there is a level of

uncertainty how far west the showers are likely to be but there could be some sharp showers, maybe some saharan dust mixed in. a cloudy day on monday with a few scattered showers elsewhere and noticeably cooler as well. top temperatures 12-18. as cooler as well. top temperatures 12—18. as we move out of monday and headed to tuesday, that low pressure eases away and we see through the middle part of the week after sunshine and showers on tuesday, more wet weather moving in. things stay on the cooler side and a little more unsettled tuesday into wednesday, but high pressure is set to build once again and temperatures will start to recover for the start of the weekend.
