if you think of the writings of irony than who wrote rosemary ‘s baby —— ira levin.creepy, it is a satire on a post—racial, liberal america, it has great depth and is sharp and scary when it needs to be. i know you are not a horror film fan, but it is a thriller. it is not a horrorfilm, fan, but it is a thriller. it is not a horror film, although fan, but it is a thriller. it is not a horrorfilm, although it is, but it isa a horrorfilm, although it is, but it is a thriller, you will enjoy it. if you want to stay in, we have a united kingdom. i love this. we have the heir to the throne of botswana planned and his relationship with a white british woman. like all of her films it takes the personal and political and it takes them and that is then together which is understandable and enjoyable and telling an important story. thanks very much, mark. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/mark kermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week. thanks f
