adaptations you know star studded whodunnit here you've got daniel craig jamie lee curtis michael shannon all these these these amazing actors packed into this room in one of the beds of dead and then a guy with a ford name in a weird accent comes this is a tactic to try and solve it this case played by daniel craig but usually whodunits for me don't work because they've been done to death you know we see hundreds of versions on film and on t.v. but what ron johnson does with this is he sort of plays with the genre he has a lot of fun with it and he almost makes it almost a satire but in the end it still works as a proper style whodunit watching this film had the feeling like this is the kind of movie that if agatha christie got stoned and wrote a new mystery this is what might come out it's a lot of fun and if you're a fan of the old school i think christie's have a lot of fun with this. go to lot of target just tell me there's also a lot of talk about one particular bio page a beautiful day in the neighborhood starring tom hanks what did you make about what

. yeah this is quite interesting a female director here there's a lot of people directors in this year this is a biopic but with a difference it's put stars the nicest man in hollywood tom hanks playing the nicest man in t.v. fred rogers or mr rogers the late children's t.v. presenter and what's interesting about this it's not really the story of fred's rogers but it's the story of the life of someone who can influence namely a cynical journalist who tried to find the dark secrets about fred rogers but spoiler all he found was more wonderfulness this film is like a big warm hug and maybe just the right thing for these sort of talks at times scott always a mine of information great to talk to scott roxboro in toronto thank you. now in our continuing series 100 german must read featuring great books from german all being translated into english we're looking at a book that shed some light on how family life was in the form

a communist east germany in times of fading light oil you can rule go offers a view of life on the wrong side of the. another family gathering from how the mom could smash the sun doesn't even show up on the 90 year old birthday boy that grandpa probably knows of that happening. and . everyone in or going to his novel in times of fading light knows the old man's and dementia but it's probably for the best otherwise he'd realize the country he's helped build is about and just like his life it's october 1909 a few weeks before the east german regime collapses. and. what is going to look it was 57 when he made his debut with this novel tells the

history of east germany through the eyes of a family his own family. the author's alter ego alexandre hates growing up in the country his grandfather believes. he would never hear the rolling stones live would never see woodstock never even see west berlin with its new demos and student riots it's free love because between the small narrow world where he would have to spend his life and the other big wide world where real true life was lived there was a border and it was the one that he likes on their own it's our turn to have to guard. in times of fading light is about the failure of a whole country written without accusations or justifications read it if you want to understand what made people build communist east germany and why their dream was doomed to fail.

the western german city of ball was big van beethoven. where he spent 4 months of years of his life as a beethoven fast and in a featuring many of his works of course but then self was a great innovator so i'm sure he would have approved of a festival features contemporary music and lots of dance as well it got underway at the weekend with classic. music in the am the beethoven fest in bonn kicked off with one of its annual favorites a live screening of the opening concert of the market square and on. it features beatles from symphony number 6 also known as the pastoral symphony conducted by hugh capet kind of sadness and the family answering. sitting outside experiencing this with other people i really like the conductor it's

exciting to watch him but it's the you don't like it when you listen to this it's a force of nature fantastic. one last rehearsal at dawn's world congress center playing the pastoral symphony and beethoven's hometown is a special experience for the $94.00 musicians and the conductor. well it's a unique symphony of course and also inform his own and kind of bets on how this kind of. idea about what nature means to people actually i think that's the kind of the most important point of view. every year of the festival picks a motto in connection to beethoven's life and work this year it's moonlight a romantic theme that's based on the composer's moonlight sonata and fits in well with the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. and for the men life is simply a chanting makes us want to dream more human and this is the man on the moon

monument everything seems possible and this feelings of love and longing seems all these is connected to the theme of moonlight the moon changes the contours of the real world in very late. over the next few weeks the beethoven fest will stage around 50 performances among this year's highlights is a joint concert offer german vocal ensemble and a south african a capella group and there's more with ballet experimental works and works for me as also taking the stage. i want to present something special at the beethoven fest it's just bizarre it's not just about the old masters like i was so he left this world why do while we go so we don't just own of the old masters we want to show what contemporary musicians do with that extraordinary heritage fantastic album. this is why the

opening concert is not just about beatles pieces from the trendy of century i included like beloved bach talks the miraculous mandarin. talk beethoven was a main source of inspiration. because there are so kind of obvious reasons to to play better from here but i think it's a very good idea to try to juxtapose the battlefronts. heritage. how it kind of reflects and music off to bed hopefully. this was the opening concert of this year's be 2 contest next year it's the 250th anniversary of the composer's birthday gone both celebrate the special occasion which not one but 2 festivals. and the 1st one gets underway next march rentier at all francis welcome dr all of beethoven's 9th symphony much mall on the web site as
