The film review on bbc news. To take us through the cinema releases this week is james king. Good to see you. You too. What have you been watching . There is some romance amongst the ruins in the italian love story call me by your name, an awards contender, that one. The god of thunder goes down under. There is a distinctly antipodean feel to marvels latest, thor ragnarok. Claire foy and Andrew Garfield battle the odds in breathe, there will be tears. Lets start with call me by your name. I feel like ive seen the trailer for this ten times, do the producers think its an awards contender . We are heading to awards season, so you will hear the same titles over and over again over the next few months. I do think this is one of those. The director is luca guadagnino, arguably the most stylish and chic director at the moment. I am love, Starring Tilda Swinton is a recommendation if youve never seen it. Written by james ivory, formerly of merchant ivory fame. Its a love story set in the early eighties in northern italy over one summer. It is about a 17 year old boy called elio. Elios father is an academic and he invites from america, a student, an intern to help him overfor the summer. Elio falls in love with the intern. We have timothee chalamet, a real rising star, as elio, and armie hammer as the intern. Here we are. Thank you so much. My goodness, you are bigger than your picture i couldnt get all of me in the picture its very nice to meet you. Elio you must be exhausted. Laughter every single one of these will elio, oliver, oliver, elio. You must be exhausted come, come. Should i take your things to your room . My room. Follow him. It is set in the 1980s. In italy, his mother was french which is why he also spoke french. Language is an important part of the film. Its about this young boy finding out who he is, his own personality and finding his own language. Thats why there are a lot of different languages going on in the film. I just loved it. It looks gorgeous, its mainly set in lombardia and lake garda, and it looks fantastic. Its a young love story, a coming of age story. Its about the grey areas. It not one of those cliched movie love stories where everything seems neat. Its about the complexities of it and growing up. Thats what resonated with me. Perhaps it meanders a little but its about a teenager on their Summer Holidays which is when you meander. I certainly remember meandering a lot got a lot of time on your hands in those days. Exactly theres a real sense of waiting for things to happen. Set in the 1980s before the internet and mobile phones. You are in the dark as to what is happening. You really get that sense. I thought it was beautiful. Wonderful, it certainly looks beautiful. Yeah. Does thor look beautiful . It actually does. It looks very stylish. Its the third Chris Hemsworth thor outing. Its stand alone. There is more comedy in this one, even though the subtitle, ragnarok, relates to the destruction of thors homeland, quite a bleak premise. Its a very funny film. Two reasons for that. The success of the guardians of the galaxy franchise, another marvel comic book franchise, cheeky and funny. It seems that thor has been given a guardians of the galaxy makeover. Secondly, i mentioned at the top about the down under thing. The director is a guy called Taika Waititi who has had a lot of success in new zealand with his comedy dramas. He did the hunt for the wilder people and what we do in the shadows. He brings a lovely, deadpan, antipodean sensibility to the whole thing, as well as casting Cate Blanchett and carl levin in there, and of course Chris Hemsworth. I love the comedy of it. Its really funny and marks it as different from the others. There isnt much depth to it or threat to it, but you will laugh a lot. Thats what people are really picking up on. And theres a lot to be said for that. Absolutely. The final selection for this week is breathe. Based on the true story of robin cavendish. A man in the late 50s, he was 28 years old. He was disabled by polio and this is the story of how he chose to live as full a life as possible, often using quite unconventional methods, and how he was supported by his wife, diana, throughout. Directed by andy serkis, a directing debut for him, and claire foy and Andrew Garfield star in this. Lets have a look. How do you feel . Much better. Diana, what happens if there is a power cut . You are working with a hand pump. Its a nifty bit of kit. Look whos here oh, look. There you go. Ooh. Look, jonathan. Its daddy. Hello, jonathan. Hello, dear boy. A proper tear jerker . Absolutely, not so much tugging on the heartstrings as yanking on them you will blub. There are some funny moments but for me, mainly in the second half of the film. It was the funnier moments, or the more peculiar moments that really resonated. Sometimes it is a little by the book and predictable, and inevitably, it will be compared to the theory of everything, the movie about steven hawking from a few years ago. Maybe it doesnt have the charisma of that. But behind the camera we know andy serkis is a great actor and clearly hes a very good director. From now on after this we will see him directing as much as acting. He has a very confident style. Thats a really interesting development. Superb actor, he is a fantastically versatile actor. It is striking that he has chosen something thats a real tear jerker as his first film . He said he read the script. Its actually his production partner its the story of his parents. His production partner is jonathan cavendish, but when andy serkis read the script he said it was the most emotional thing he had ever read, he had to make it, and it is an emotional watch. Lets go onto something completely different our film of the week. My goodness, i loved death of stalin. Right, lets talk about it, then. Isnt itjust clever satire . What i love about it, so much, was i watched it and laughed. So, a couple of weeks ago when i saw it. And in the fortnight since, what has really stayed with me is how chilling the whole thing is. I absolutely agree. Of course its an absurd situation these people find themselves in after the death of stalin in 1953 but then you see the backstabbing and the desperate clamouring around to hold onto some sort of power. And the things people will do which affect millions of their citizens in russia. Its chilling. And he never lets you forget that people were taken out of their bedss in the middle of the night and thrown into prison, or worse. Its important that that has to be in the film but its done cleverly. You laugh at the ridiculousness of it but then you go, hang on, theres a dark side to this, which is classic satire. You can see there are five great people in the poster behind you but its an ensemble cast. They are all fantastic but Simon Russell beale really stood out for me. He plays beria, the head of security in the secret police. A chilling performance. Hes great but they all are great in it. Yes, arent they . Fantastic. And a quick thought on the dvd, for anyone who doesnt want to head out . My cousin rachel, based on the Daphne Du Maurier thriller set in victorian era, cornwall. Sam claflin stars he suspects his cousin rachel has killed a mutual relative. But the only problem is, as well as suspecting her, he is also falling in love with rachel, hes also seduced by her. Hes in an odd position. We never really know whether she did it or not. You are kept guessing by the film. The rachel of the title is played by rachel weisz and just keeps her cards close to her chest throughout. Its a subtle performance and you are really kept guessing. Excellent. James, its good to see you. Thank you for being with us. Thats all from us for this week. Enjoy your cinema going. Goodbye now the weather. Some big swings in temperatures day to day. It is cold are firmly in place that has come down from the arctic targeting scotla nd down from the arctic targeting scotland and parts of Northern England.
