also look weekend for that we will also look ahead to the women's rugby union cup which starts in new zealand injust a few hours�* time. that�*s all out on sports day at 630. now on abc it�*s time for the film review. i�*m jane hill. and taking us through this weeks releases, as ever is mark kermode. hi, mark. hi. so we have three very different movies, the lost king, the true story of sir richard iii. we have vengeance, the story of life, the universe and podcasts. and amsterdam, a star—studded new movie directed by david 0 russell. 50, lost king. the lost king. sally hawkins stars and, honestly, a stranger than fiction tale of finn langley his quest to find

and retrieve the remains of king richard iii, famously maligned by history and playwrights like shakespeare, who she comes to believe the bones are under a car park in leicester. so the film reunites the team behind philomena. so the director and writers and costars steve cooper, who plays philip is x. who plays philip is ex, john. in real life philippa langley felt she was guided to the burial spot and got goose bumps while standing on it by something not quite normal, i suppose. take a look.

5:48 pm
for her great discovery. the film i think does portray them in a pretty harsh life of philip lightly said she did feel sidelines and marginalised with up they said it�*s an unfair portrait. the thing you have to do is look at it as a dramatic construction. in the drama out this is a story about somebody who isn�*t taken seriously, fighting to be taken seriously, fighting to find their place. and that feeling that she is being guided is dramatised by visions of theatrical version of richard, who she sees leading her around the world and around less and indeed around the locations. i think the stuff that works is, i like sally hawkins, i think she�*s got a very good way of doing that for that tremulous on the bonham but steely resolve underneath. i think as the story of a characterfinding her voice it works well. unless convinced that it works well. unless convinced that it works as a piece of modern history

for that its cereal, egg, as i say it�*s from the team that gave us philomena, the serious subject but also did have a kind of quite quirky turn to it as well. this is very quirky. turn to it as well. this is very uuir . , ., g turn to it as well. this is very iuir . , ., , quirky. using a jew. quirky is the word. i quirky. using a jew. quirky is the word- i find _ quirky. using a jew. quirky is the word. i find it— quirky. using a jew. quirky is the word. i find it quite _ quirky. using a jew. quirky is the word. i find it quite hard - quirky. using a jew. quirky is the word. i find it quite hard to - word. ifind it quite hard to analyse as a film because this is recent history. we remember all the news items of the body being found and dug up. because it�*s an extra ordinary story. in the story is remarkable. i thought it was good to be really irritated by the idea that you see in richard leigh by harry lloyd and i thought, this is going to annoy me. in the end that didn�*t annoy me nearly as much as i thought it would. it�*s a very slow burn, takes a very long time to get anywhere. isuppose takes a very long time to get anywhere. i suppose it would say that�*s because she had to fight for a very long time to be taken seriously. i suppose i struggled because i know what�*s around all the current narrative of academics at university who aren�*t happy. that�*s difficult i sometimes disassociate

them from the actual film the key thing is, it is in a documentary, it�*s film put up date it feels like a piece of drama. it it's film put up date it feels like a piece of drama.— a piece of drama. it feels like a very constructive _ a piece of drama. it feels like a very constructive narrative - a piece of drama. it feels like a very constructive narrative that| a piece of drama. it feels like a - very constructive narrative that she is on the money in this lone voice in the establishment... ads, is on the money in this lone voice in the establishment. . ._ is on the money in this lone voice in the establishment... a lot of men not taken the _ in the establishment... a lot of men not taken the woman _ in the establishment... a lot of men not taken the woman seriously. - in the establishment... a lot of men not taken the woman seriously. she | not taken the woman seriously. she wasn�*t hidden in a lot of men not taken the woman seriously. she wasn�*t hidden historian, wasn�*t an archaeologist with up truth i�*m sure that�*s true. i archaeologist with up truth i'm sure that's true. . ~ that's true. i 'ust think the devil is in the that's true. i just think the devil is in the detail— that's true. i just think the devil is in the detail sometimes. - that's true. i just think the devil is in the detail sometimes. ok, | is in the detail sometimes. 0k, vengence, again which you�*ve also seen for the written and directed by bj novak who has to go to texas when somebody he has hooked up with quite casually dies. and they family think that he is the boyfriend so he goes to the funeral, he has these dreams of making a podcast with everybody wants to make a podcast out that when he gets it he discovers that the family actually think that the daughter was murdered. he thinks this is a podcast about strange people in a strange fertile land that i don�*t really know and they�*re
5:51 pm
all talking about vengeance and conspiracy and this is a podcast. the stuff i liked about this is, the satire about everybody thinking they�*ve got a great podcast, which i think it is topical. this is a podcast. the stuff that works less well for me is i think it finds it less hard to get the balance between the comedic elements, it is comedy. the underlying story that he is going to the funeral of the daughter of a family who are grieving one minute in the next minute appear not to be in grief at all but sort of being quirky and a bit strange. because of that you never take any of it very seriously. and since you don�*t take any of it seriously it fails to engage in the wager. interesting as this sort of voice of the voice of the piece, running these recording studios and everything is about recording for them and there are so many voices and was only voices how can... ? that�*s an interesting message. it kind of gets lost in this thing that

and the other art and satirical. there is also a covert report of businessmen who are trying to get robert de niro his character to front their endeavours, which are very sinister. casting includes ronnie malik, chris rock, michael shannon and mike myers. everyone is in it. there are enough people in this film to start at five different movies, which is good because it feels like five different movies happening at the same time. there is at the centre of it a really interesting story inspired by real life which i knew nothing about. kind of emerges about two thirds of the way of the film but amidst all the way of the film but amidst all the zany tapering and the wide angles and the close—ups in the buckeye performances and everything being slightly mallet. a lot gets lost with him interesting that christian bale said in an interview that david or russell at about 12 versions of the script at one point put up and you go yeah, he had about 12 versions of the script when it got finished with him it would be impossible to watch this and not find stuff in it to be impressed

with there�*s so much in it. it was it not very coherent because? not very coherent is a polite way of saying it. it�*s not to say it isn�*t entertaining. it is but it�*s kind of frustrating, it needs to be half an hour shorter, frustrating, it needs to be half an hourshorter, it frustrating, it needs to be half an hour shorter, it needs to have at least three of the plots removed, at least three of the plots removed, at least as far as ahmm... somewhere in the middle of it all there is a film thatis the middle of it all there is a film that is really interesting. so much stuff going on around it you kind of get lost. at least the last king has got a clear path. you get lost. at least the last king has got a clear path.— got a clear path. you know exactly where it's going. _ got a clear path. you know exactly where it's going. 10096. _ got a clear path. you know exactly where it's going. 10096. best - got a clear path. you know exactly where it's going. 10096. best al? | got a clear path. you know exactly where it's going. 10096. best al? i where it's going. 100%. best al? i know what you think is best out. a really brilliant film. here�*s the thing, if you don�*t like peter stricklin, i know you�*re not a big stand, you�*re not can it go for this because it�*s the most peter strickland film, however if you like peter strickland. i think it�*s as funny as film. you said last week some you found funny but you didn�*t realise it was meant to be funny. it is meant to be funny but it�*s super

your cinema going. we will see you next time. bye—bye. hello. after a week of changeable weather it�*s looking fairly promising for most of us this weekend. certainly not for everybody. in fact, after a sunny saturday we�*re expecting wind and rain to sweep into northern ireland and scotland. in england and wales should remain drive through most of sunday. you can see the weather systems sweeping across the country right now, that heavy rain that swept into northwest england in the midlands in the last few hours. high pressure is now building in. that will settle things down, at least temporarily. lots of clear weather on the way for tonight, light winds. the band of heavy rain that swept across the uk will be exiting our shores and reaching the near continent through the early hours of saturday. behind it there is a brisk wind off the atlantic and we will
5:58 pm
have a few showers out towards the west. generally speaking, it is looking clear. quite chilly first thing on saturday, even in towns and cities temperatures will be around five or 6 degrees. you can imagine in the countryside it will be colder than that. the weather for saturday, very little if any wind at all across southern and southwestern areas a bit of cloud building up in the afternoon but that�*s pretty much it. it should feel pleasant in the sunshine, around 15 or 16 degrees with a bit of cloud building up in the afternoon but that�*s pretty much it. it should feel pleasant in the sunshine, around 15 or 16 degrees. more cloud in the the next band of rain is approaching. as a high pressure slips away after that sunny saturday in a low approaches in a weather front brings wind and rain to northern island the morning, eventually western scotland. through the day it mayjust about brighten up the day it mayjust about brighten up before sunset here in the very far northwest filled up i should think it will turn wet and windy around the irish sea coast later in the day on sunday for the elsewhere
5:59 pm
sunday is looking fine. monday, if you�*re wondering about that, that weather front is out of the way and we�*re back into an area of high pressure, settled weather with temperatures between 13 in the north and around 17 in the south. let�*s have a look at the outlook into next week. it stays fine across the south of the country. it is a london and cardiff they are enjoying that settled weather with temperatures in the high teens for the further north it will be a little more changeable with temperatures close to the mid teens. bye—bye.
6:00 pm
