i think this is my favourite film of this year and i think celine sciamma is my favourite director.h, i'm absolutely determined now. i thought it was beautifully made. the two little girls in it are extraordinary. genius. she is so clever with child actors. and it looks beautiful — wistful, but in a very gentle way. i think it is about children dealing with grief — that was perhaps the main thing i took away from it — but there is a lot to absorb. and i noticed everyone in the cinema just sat and watched all of the credits roll because i think we were alljust thinking and thinking about that and absorbing it all. and there's that wonderful use of that tune at the very end — the kind of, the kids anthem, which is just overwhelmingly great. i mean, there is nothing wrong with this film. it is as near to a perfect film as i have ever seen and i, i really... i'm so glad you loved it... i loved it, i loved it. ..because otherwise, we would've had to stop doing this programme. chuckles. quick final thoughts about dvd or streaming? on dvd, candyman, the new version of candyman, 2021 reboot

finish on a high note with my very favourite film of 2021, a modern fable from french film—maker celine sciammaakingly hopeful film about two young girls who share a magical bond will pierce your heart, broaden your mind and gladden your soul — even as you wipe away tears. just 73 minutes long and rated suitable for all by the bbfc, petite maman is a u certificate masterpiece that reminds us of the universal power of cinema to transform and engage audiences, transcending boundaries of age, gender or nationality. if we can have just one movie this good every year, then the future of cinema still looks bright. that's it from me for 2021. i hope you've enjoyed this round—up of the year in film. thanks for watching. stay safe and i'll see you in the new year. # what a life, what a night # what a beautiful, beautiful ride don't know where i but i'm young and alive... # don't know where i'm in five, but i'm young and alive... hello. the only thing that is tempering the exceptionally mild conditions today is the breeze. quite blustery across some southern and western areas. there will be outbreaks of
