but we begin of the battle and every year there is a golden baffle lifetime achievement award to someone in the film business this year it goes to the british actress helen mirren who's made over 60 films from playing against a small opposite hoskins in the long good friday to that memorable oscar winning performance in the queen and she is in my mind one of the greatest living actresses around us i wonder what. on this subject thinks film critics got rocks for a downtown at the festival snow arm a little bias but how do you write the mr and as an actress. yeah i mean how do i write her as an actress my lord she's obviously the queen you know won the oscar for the queen but i put her above that i put her as that as an empress of british that about world cinema i mean this is

a woman who's who's the who's range is incredible she's won the triple crown of acting out of the the emmy the oscar the tony and it's played everything from queen elizabeth the 2nd to jason state thems gangster mother in a fast and furious movie i mean the woman has incredible range and i think it's because she though she seems to take her acting her craft incredibly seriously just take herself that seriously she's still remains very very down to earth i think that's what gives her particular charm she has i think the exact right mix of of class and sas if you are couldn't agree more you know she doesn't take too seriously but her acting seriously great now you've just seen another film in competition this year days from the renowned time when he's directed signing yeah. now i've seen business looks very slow paced. yes very very so i bet it passed the furious this is slow and well ponderous maybe perhaps but it's incredibly good i mean this. is

a master of slow cinema almost the creator of the term slow cinema and he's a real master of the long take he is basically pushing back against the whole idea of hollywood cinema with this sort of western concept that narrative is important or that dialogue is important this is a 2 hour movie with no dialogue with a series of long slow takes i mean he himself has said that he wants cinema to be a temple not a shopping mall and if you imagine hollywood cinema as being sort of like the mcdonald's this is much more of a delicate dish that takes a while to enjoy but it's really worth it ok scott stay with us. we'll be joining scott in a minute will be the director of this next movie it's being hailed as one of the movies to see if she has been in on all screening acts joaquin phoenix's it's a great off history it's poetic it's heartwarming it heartbreaking and his main

stoss are large family pigs. chances are you've never seen pegs this way before. director victor casa cobbs key puts us on a high level with his unmerited documentary going to. the film's protagonist a norwegian pig named to go and enjoys a lot more freedom than most farm animals but there are still limits such as collector fan since. the hour and a half long documentary also follows goodness piglets is there were used for slaughter. animal rights film doesn't appeal to us with facts sort of figures there's no mention of the hundreds of millions of peer. killed each year raised on factory farms instead he shows us a family of social individuals. as chicken

and cow neighbors deliver their own compelling performances as the movies supporting cast. intriguing now will go straight back to scott who has the direct victor cross across the with him over to you skull. yeah thanks rob yes victor thank you so much for joining us thank you so much for this movie 1st me this is an animal documentary unlike any i've ever seen before there's no no dialogue no voice over no musical there was music on that clip there but in the film itself there's no music why did you decide to take star radical approach in telling the story can i pick up what you just said a minute ago you said you caught that scene in ways it temple not a shopping mall you know they're writing a book of said i want my rigorous become. yours and if i continue this i would say on my view just become for the most worse. why did it

i guess is so obvious that you should not. kill. it's actually read them do not care what i serve why you are still killing and we already agreed we shouldn't cure people that i. grieve with you shouldn't have slavery where is your deeds or did you reason is wrong realities you have reason to be you have to be we have to accept that some people have different sex. and we have to agree that we already agreed that 3 men has same rights for his man so we should agree that not to kill animals you know victor victor why then did you choose to pick the setting in a pig in a quite nice farm relatively and not in a factory because this because main if else was making in slaughter house or sand from. didn't make jokes right so if people watch it but people don't want to seem to bother people block people book people decided not to seem to party every time

you eat every time you or the people your they do you know use have to ask yourself what you eat was just few minutes ago in life and so so just briefly what do you hope people take away from this film what would you hope that they do after seeing some readings in a living with good story easy series we can do better look at us we really if you don't really are not caring about kind of us anymore right we can't ignore slavery anymore right you're not kidding me it really is how he did 70 s are growing the busiest client we can do where we can store became a meter even their doctors came in from our life or have and he gives them. the right to leave it just by the same as read to we are not the most important creatures in the world no we are sharing a planet is assholes and that's all it's so simple i'm i should be dickless if they have to repeat it just so or well definitely after seeing this movie don't think
