the fifty shades of grey and many other famous films. there are no rules in fact the only rule is that there are no rules i try to make my mind blank when i first see the first images of the film as blank as i can and it's more like what comes into my mind if i could make it totally blank. this man started the austrian success story one indiana must start and i moved to hollywood in the night nine hundred twenty s. they developed the technology used to record for the schools including in chess it's like gone with the wind and casablanca. and next to it was the beginning of all of it and it was like a revelation this music from beginning to end in the music is telling us the story and the music tells us there's suspense and the music tells us there's fear in the music tells us there's romance and from that moment on. music was part of film. insensitivity in the old recording studio was brought back to life i think one stage by musician and filmmaker how that took months. to quiet the rundown facility once owned by the production company fi

a whole section is dedicated to the silent film metropolis it was the first science fiction feature film and first shown in one thousand nine hundred twenty seven. other highlight is the special exhibition that one for history of a brand to offer is one of the oldest film production companies in europe and was particularly successful in the thirty's and forty's a serious competitor to hollywood. nirvanic curates the exhibition he shows me a special piece from the molina diddlers collection per morning rob from the blue angel and often. it was established in one nine hundred seventy at the end of world war one germans felt they were lagging behind other european countries when it came to using. propaganda to motivate their own population to go to war. that was a major reason the author was founded. to produce dynamic and appealing propaganda films part of their. support can you name some. of the first as metropolis by fritz lang from one nine hundred twenty seven there may be during the nazi era in one nine hundred forty two. as most successful films if it i don't have the exact numbers i

the films change as well and the nature of the films that we are watching eventually shift. tant thing is ultimately the important thing is ultimately the stories and the way they get told and viewed will also change. as critics have to listen to fresh perspectives equally. we must return to you, look who is with you. iamjoined by to you, look who is with you. i am joined by the writer and director of three billboards 0utside ebbing. how was itjuggling all the elements of pain and anger and incredibly dark humour in this film? i guess writing wise most of my stuff is like that, it veers between darkness and comedy so it is natural for me. but when you have got the best actors around and you let them get on with it, they take care of that for you. where did the inspiration come from? that for you. where did the inspiration come from ?|j that for you. where did the inspiration come from? i saw something similar to what we see on our billboards about 20 years ago in the southern states of america and it stuck in my mind and i thought if it stuck in my mind and i thought if it wa

time for the film review with jane. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. good to have you with us, what have you been watching? this week we go to sacramento, an ordinary town where saoirse ronan stars as lady bird, dreaming of romance and not serving coffee anymore. we set sail on the oceans with colin firth single—handedly taking on the world in an around the world yacht race, starring as donald crowhurst in the mercy. and there is more water as sally hawkins stars in guillermo del toro‘s fishy fairy tale the shape of water, and an unlikely relationship with an aquatic alien. it is a very interesting week. oh, i loved lady bird, i loved it! i'm glad you did. of all the films this film season lady bird has given me more pause for thought than any of the other ones. i have seen it three times and it has taken that long for the subtleties and emotions to sweep over me. it is a film told from greta gerwig's point of view, the writer and director. it stars saoirse ronan. women crew the film. i

they have the answer i started with advertising films with the and then i made short propaganda films with your proposals and with ludwig schmitz. that you. think would but i don't wouldn't even if i am for the first problem would go through. all of. you. to finish as a tale of us if i look at the image of you it was decorum all the men wore dark suits white shirts and silver ties and ones who got caught. in the young eagles going to played an apprentice scheme to build cockpits for bombers. but not my kind of life because. you know. the young hottie crew played an equally enthusiastic role. in a propaganda film from pure and simple. like yelling and shite and going to tidy. it to get. to the concert haven't read it or put it in public before the one who has no such thing. we were all about sixteen tough i met was gung leave a night out and said when we're done here i have to go to the hitler youth training camp he said i'll give you a contract maybe that'll help us and that's how i got a contract not because i was such a good actor for such a keep me from military service full of it

the director of the film said he wanted to make the story as accessible as possible. t has slapstick comedy, music sequences, laughs, romance and tension. it is a joyful and uplifting film. it is telling the story, which has its roots in a real—life story. it is a fictionalised version of a real—life story, but it does stick close to the truth. it is charmingly done and playing to the widest possible audience, and succeeding in taking that story and making it completely accessible, and it is charming and uplifting. another hit. fantastic, wonderful story. based on a true story, which is more than can be said for 50 shades freed. we do have twilight to thank for this. the story is, having tamed christian grey, anastasia must see if she can find independence and happiness within their marriage. here is a clip. you do want to have kids someday, right? someday, sure. you don't really sound sure. you know what i am sure about? that's great steak. christian... do you not want to have kids? of course. one day, just not now. i'm not ready to share you with anyone. he doesn't w

the entire film team won silver barrel boards at the berlin ali film festival but it didn't win the oscar for best foreign language film that went to his friend focus learned off with the tin drum the marriage of maria brown became one of the key films of german post-war cinema and it was fast and does greater success one daily paper wrote the marriage of maria bond is the film that brought people back to the cinema. city said the cervix of the securities thing about this film is that there are so many people who have a positive image of money and bone and they push everything that doesn't fit that narrative out of their minds he saw it as spirited a sick family that key to the war they use this woman as a role model who just takes she knows how to reach our goals and make miracles happen yeah. name. it. but they ignore her don't side. to this day people particularly women come to me and say you don't know how much you influenced my life with money are ball and. circuses everything must be they don't know of any of except maybe. in one thousand nine hundred two fassbinder finally received

not in the way films were made was transforming. dembski tall makers would get together and discuss how they were going to do things differently from those before them they took that cues from the filmmakers co-operative in new york and london that gave them the confidence to make and distribute films in their own way. is the daughter of filmmaker going for nelson. a lyrical film and expressionistic avocation of childhood. me destroyed cellulite. a flickering crackling study of its actual physical attributes film reduced to its most basic form old ergativity bill gates and venom hollywood deeply radical. they were more like visual artists the heinz knew that before they could tell a story they had to strip narrative to its essence. resistance and revolt in the streets of berlin a red flag carried a loft by students including holder minds who would later become a terrorist. and a short film making agents of political change are triumphant. because the couple of the red flag is raised on the balcony of city hall and then he doesn't att

and hiding the. film was very successful in germany because on the one hand this woman embodied a turning point in german history but on the other hand she was also a popular character a self-made woman who gets to the top under her own steam. that woman the film is a message of hope but also showed how hard life was in post-war germany the young instructed you'll deny a play i think it. is a good that's when you see six. shots out that's how i want to share so. it's just easier to shake just shake it is not actually visual i want to compliment that makes it a calling to give a talk to. the schmetz and see. us when the scene here playing black market dealer met hannis a girl or acting school in one nine hundred sixty five in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven i joined the action theater in munich a protest there to that fassbinder soon took over he wrote directed and acted in critical plays that confronted german society head on. seemingly emain scene of it but he was very sensitive and although he di

both on the film and the t.v. show themselves the film is beautifully pro-trade giving a balanced view and it showcases the very real struggle space by such a venture i loved the t.v. show i cried along with it even if one family has influence it's a step in the right direction she goes on to say mary is doing much more than just empowering women he's trying to change the mindset of people who've had an upbringing or women are not seen as equals or a burden so need i know you're back with us you hear this praise for the film is this part of the reason why you decided to follow on her in the first place. i think the story of the film of course. of the. work but the real story stories of women in india and. and the power of one bollywood star. so i think it was well you know one person who can. you know do something about you know if you think oh i have a daughter let me just you know think in a different way. or in a way that was not the right word but it you know. i think that's very very important thing here how

to see through the lump of decaying film the precious pictures within.r problem, the film was too big to be x—rayed. they had another problem, the film was too big to be x-rayed. the only thing you could do would cut the film into little pieces and scanned one piece at a time. i didn't expect them to say yes to cutting up the film, but given the alternative was watching this just rapidly disintegrate, he said ear, let's do it. we were using an infrared laser which generates a lot of heat, makes flames, at the best we had a little debt of damage at the edge of the frame, at worst we lost whole frame. gram took 5000 images of each chunk as it rotated 360 degrees to make a 3-d as it rotated 360 degrees to make a 3—d model and at that point they started to seep what was on the film for the first time. when you first start seeing those pictures of eric morecambe and his stereotypical pose, you can't help but smile and think yes, this is, ear, this has to be done. once the scans were finished they had loads of data but they also had a new problem. the next dif

the film struggles to take that on board. irth does some of the best acting in years. he's really challenged by this. it might be something to do with the water. it brings the best out of colin. fascinating! i'm sensing it wasn't quite the film you expected it to be? it is a film of two halves. david thewlis is good. rachel weisz does not have much to do apart from answer the phone and look worried a lot. but colin firth is tremendous, really, until he gets too wet and then the film gets bogged down in its own mysteries, but they are true mysteries. no one knows what happened in this movie. it drifts rather to a climax, to use a nautical phrase. we won't give anything away. the shape of water, now this is a curious film and i mean this in a good way. i really enjoyed it, but you do get to the end and think, i'm not sure what it is about. i'll try to tell you what it's about. it is about sally hawkins who plays a mute cleaner called elisa and she has a job in an american underground nuclear facility which i think peppered the u

the shape of water, this is a curious film and i mean this in a good way. ou do get to the end and thing, i am not sure what it is about. it is about sally hawkins who plays a mute cleaner called elise and she has a job in an american underground nuclear facility which i think peppered the us in the cold war in the 50s and 60s. a creature is brought in rather like the roswell incident. they bring it in in a tank to do experiments. they suspect it can help them defeat the russian somehow and win the space race. can help them defeat the russian somehow and win the space racem is never clear. they mistrust this creature entirely about from one mute outside clean—up played by sally hawkins who strikes up a strange relationship immediately with this creature in the tank. how was your trip? just one number please. security, call security. head of security. moaning noise.. get them out. michael shannon's agent strickland glowering as only michael shannon can do. that clip gives the impression it is all foreboding and dangerous and scary but a lot of it is not. it i

i think the critiques of the film are valid. so think the -- the sense that a disney movie is going to be the vanguard of an accurate portrayal of spiritual, emotional revolution -- i don't think that is going to happen. what i wrote about when i wrote about the film in "the new york times," was not about the movie. i wrote it before i saw the movie. i wrote about the moment. this movie happens to be the vanguardrd of the moment currrrently, but not at all the only thing in a moment. there's "a wrinkle in time" coming which is a film that centers women. i spoke to the director for this beast. what i see happepening, when i wrote what i write about the film, i was not writing about the film but t the factct this moment is happening in afro -futurism. and what that means for us as a people at this point in our experience w was the amy: : lete quote from your piece as you write about afro-futurism. you write -- it is the idea that we will have won the future. >> that is correct. this is an offering into that. this film with all of i

the belly not a would be unthinkable without an iranian film. the concept of it which is a closet. this year's director money had looks at states blacklisting film directors pick is an ironic turbulent comedy. refugees and migration will be true in themes at this politically charged film festival gemini's christiane pets sot tells the story of a refugee during world war two reflected in the fate of those who off today. movie lovers can choose from a total of three hundred eighty five films over the next ten days. with it serious on toast or popcorn entertainment standing in line for the tickets is more than worth the wait. let's get more now on the berlin wall and joining me here in the studio is my colleague sara harmon who is following everything as always you are always down there at the red carpet what can we look forward to when it when it opens tomorrow yes so plenty to look forward to retouch on it there in the piece i love dogs as animated feature from wes anderson is opening the competition category and this is really interesting sarah because it's an animated film as far a

the shape of water. this is my favourite film in the cinema at the moment. this film, its guillermo del toro's best film since pan's labyrinth, and i think pan's labyrinth is the best film of the 21st century so far. the shape of water is on one level, the creature of the black lagoon meets splash, which sounds like it shouldn't work, and yet it does. there is something magical about it. super performance by sally hawkins, doug jones is brilliant as the creature, and the thing guillermo del toro always does is he has this great love of what other people think of as monsters. the real monster in this film isn't the amphibious man, it's a very human character, it's set against the backdrop of cold war paranoia and the space race, there are moments when it bursts into song and there is a song and dance routine suddenly in the middle of this. i just loved it, it made me laugh, it made me cry, i thought it was beautiful. i think guillermo del toro is a modern—day orson welles and i love this film to pieces. and to look at as well, it is stunning. you should see i

as far as i can remember has never opened the berlin film festival is a bold choice wes anderson of course is no stranger to the festival i believe he has had four films there he's very beloved here in berlin viewers or a member of grand budapest hotel the world tenenbaums this is a little different you saw a taste of it in the. court it's an elevated film about this group of dogs that go to japan but it's also quite serious so i don't think it's fair to say this is a film intended for kids we're going to get our first taste of it tomorrow everyone of course hoping to see the star studded voice cast turn out on the red carpet. it looks really different i feel like i've never seen anything like that before and that is exactly what berlin now is going for they love to find those films that surprise you that make you go oh what is that we heard the organizers mentioning me too as well are we likely to see anything different on that front of the berlin ellis specifically it's a question a lot of people are asking right now we've heard so much about me to

and dark river, the new film by clio barnard. finding your feet, even the poster looks like a quintessential british gathering. the poster doesn't do it any favours, it's aimed at the same audience that made best exotic marigold hotel a huge hit. the story begins with imelda staunton as lady sandra abbott on the eve of her retirement. she has her retirement planned out, she leads a very posh life and discovers suddenly that her husband has been having an affair. here is a clip. what the hell's going on? we were just... it's not what it looks like, sandra. sandra. sandra! sandra, wait. get off me. how long's it's been going on? let's not do this here. how long, mike? since we all went to sorrento. 0h, bloody hell. that's nearly five years ago! i've had enough of all this hide and seek, mike. how could you do this to me? you're supposed to be my friend. we even took you to the palace. i didn't mean for this to happen, sandra. oh, really? you knew precisely what you were doing! now, please calm down, sandra. rememberwhere you are. i

the film struggles to take that on board. it might be something to do with the water. it brings the best out of colin. fascinating! i'm sensing it wasn't quite the film you expected it to be? it is a film of two halves. david thewlis is good. rachel weisz does not have much to do apart from answer the phone and look worried a lot. but colin firth is tremendous, really, until he gets too wet and then the film gets bogged down in its own mysteries but they are true mysteries. no one knows what happened in this movie. it drifts rather to a climax, to use a nautical phrase. we won't give anything away. the shape of water, now this is a curious film and i mean this in a good way. i really enjoyed it, but you do get to the end and think, i'm not sure what it is about. i'll try to tell you what it's about. it is about sally hawkins who plays a mute cleaner called elisa and she has a job in an american underground nuclear facility which i think peppered the us in the cold war in the ‘50s and ‘60s. we're setjust on the cusp of then. th
