And wonder, a very touching drama starring Jacob Tremblay. The disaster artist. Yes. Even watching the trailer as many times as i have now, even the trailer, youre sitting there like this. Have you seen the room . This is part of my question, you need to explain all this. Basically, its the dramatised retelling of the making of the room which tommy wiseau made in 2003. Its a film that was so bad that it spawned a whole cult following. People go along to join in the screenings, much in sort of rocky horror show style. Tommy wiseau basically wrote, directed, and starred in it and financed it. Now we have james franco, who plays tommy in the film, directing and producing this film based on a book by greg sestero, who was a co star in the room, who is now played by James Francos brother, dave. Were keeping up. Youre keeping up so far . Were keeping up. 0k. So essentially, greg is a model and an actor and we first meet him in a theatre studies thing hes doing a terrible version of waiting for godot and then suddenly, tommy comes up and takes one word from a streetcar named desire, stella and does this writhing piece. Greg is completely entranced. He said, this is amazing. Youve got so much talent, youre so uninhibited, how do you do it . And tommy says, well, ijust believe in myself. And together, they go to los angeles and they decide theyll make it and become stars but hollywood rejects them, and so tommy, who appears to have a, no fixed age, b, no fixed accent and c, untold wealth, no one knows where he comes from, writes his own movie. Heres a clip. The room. Nobody writes it yet. So today, you will be the first one. I cant believe it, man, you did this. And, of course, you play mark. You want me to play mark . Its a big role. Second lead. Yeah, its a huge role. Are you sure . If you dont want to do it, fine, im having johnny depp available. No, no, iwant it, iwant the role, ill take it. Its like you say, hollywood rejects us, then we do it on our own. And you have the money to make this . I have, its no problem. Youre really going to make this thing . No, greg, we are going to make it. Mark has just laughed about 20 times during that clip. Ive seen that film twice and both times. But heres the key to it firstly the fact that tommys such a strange character. He says hes from new orleans and his accent sounds like hes from outer space. But what i like about it, theres a film made by tim burton called ed wood about edward d woodjr, who made plan 9 from outer space, which was previously thought of as the worst film ever made. And the reason that film worked was you didntjust think ed was a terrible film maker, you thought he was a visionary you believed in the film even though it was terrible. Now, in the case of this, tommy appears to actually believe that the film hes making is a Tennessee Williams level drama and he really thinks that hes making some incredible piece of art, and the reason the disaster artist works is yes, the film making is terrible, yes, the endless takes of the same lines and the awful script and the bad acting and the awful direction thats in the room, yes, all those things are there, but it only works because you also believe that beyond it, there is something of pathos, there is something of tragedy, there is something of the dream about tommy that makes him acceptable. We see him behaving appallingly on set. The film doesnt shy away from the fact that on set he did behave, you know, really, really badly. Do you need to have seen the room to get the joke . I dont think so because i think. I mean, for a start, you see the room, it makes no sense anyway and when you see the individual scenes that theyre recreating, i mean, it makes sense because you understand that basically tommy. At one point seth rogen, who is playing the script supervisor, says its not to do with whether hes made a movie, has he even seen a movie . He genuinely has no idea how to do this. I thought it was really funny. I thought it was dark when it needed to be dark. I thought it had a strange sort of dreaming charm about it but, in the end, its a story of triumph over adversity, by making something thats so catastrophically terrible that it ends up getting celebrated. And it made me laugh twice all the way through. 0k. Well, im intrigued. You done that for me, im definitely intrigued. Happy end is that an ironic title . Its a Michael Haneke film. Its the closest hell get to making a farce. This is a Michael Haneke film about a bourgeois family who, behind the facade, there are foul lurking secrets and the cast includes isabelle huppert, Jean Louis Trintignant and tobyjones our very own tobyjones. As with all hanekes work, its engrossing, its creepy, its unsettling, but theres also a very strange sense of deja vu. Theres a thing early on with video phone footage that reminds me of bennys video, a very early film of hanekes. Theres some other stuff which has got surveillance type footage which makes you think of cache, of hidden. Theres also a strange kind of left turn referral back to amour and the weird thing about all those films ive just cited, when we first saw them they were startling, they were original, they were surprisingly. This isnt. Its well made. Haneke knows how to get brilliant performances out of actors, he knows how to make something feel creepy and strange without quite telling you what it is. But it did feel like we were retreading old ground. I think hes a great film maker but this is that weird thing. To me this felt like. And i never thought id use it, an incidental haneke film. Itjust felt like, 0k, there we go, thats the new haneke film. Thats it, thats it. And well move on. And it lacked that element. I remember when i saw amour, just thinking, i cant believe he just made that movie because its just so breathtaking and this isnt. Wonder what did you make of this . Ive read such divided things about this. Have you . I havent read other reviews so ill tell you up front, i liked it. Its adapted from rj palacios novel by stephen chbosky, whos best known for perks of being a wallflower. Story is Jacob Tremblay is a young kid, augie, who is really interested in science, really interested in space, and has spent most of his childhood being home schooled because hes had a series of facial operations as a result of a rare genetic condition. Now, as he becomes a fifth grader, hes going to school for the first time, so its a thing about going to school, which is difficult enough, also made more difficult by the fact augie understands that he is different to the people with whom hes going to have to interact, and its about, at the beginning, thatjourney. Heres a clip. Now, i gotta stop here because past this point is a no dads zone and you dont want to walk up with your parents because its not cool. But youre cool. I know i am, but technically most dads arent, so. Neither are these helmets. Hey, two rules first, only raise your hand once in class, no matter how many answers you know, except for science crush them all. Check. Second, youre going to feel like youre all alone, augie, but youre not. Check. Shall we lose this . Come on. Costumes are for halloween. Prepare for blast off. I love you. I love you, too. Have fun. Bye. So owen wilson, Julia Roberts and of course, Jacob Tremblay. You can see from that, lots of laughs in that clip and its also something that tugs at the heartstrings. Its also more complicated than it looks like. At the beginning, you think youre going to see from his point of view but actually what happens is the narrative fractures and you see the story from lots of different characters point of view. From the point of view of his sister, who feels that shes been neglected because all her parents attention have gone to her brother. You see the sisters friend, who is no longer a friend, and you find out her backstory. Even boys in the film are given context for their bullying. So i thought for a start its a much more complex narrative than people have perhaps given it credit for it has perhaps a kaleidoscopic structure. The other thing is the film made me laugh and the film made me cry, and those are difficult things to do. People take them very much for granted and think its very easy to do. Its not easy and it works because the performances are good, the script is well honed, and it felt like to me a film that was made with heart, with care, by people who were telling this story and they really cared about the way the story was. Yes, there is sentimentality in it but i think it is sentimentality that it turns. I mean, i cried a lot, i laughed a lot, i was really engaged with the story, and i went in slightly suspicious because id seen the trailer, which was a little bit. You didnt know quite which way it was going to go but i thought it was a pretty terrific piece of work. And Jacob Tremblay, hes a really, really talented young actor and i thought that the director handled it with exactly the right degree of schmaltz and seriousness. I laughed, i cried, it worked. 0k. Best out this week . Battle of the sexes. This came out last week and this is the fictionalised or the dramatised story of the tennis match between Billie Jean King and bobby riggs. It became called the battle of the sexes. There was a documentary about this almost exactly the same name in 2013. Again, going in to see the drama, the documentary was so great, will they be able to capture that spirit . And they do, they really, really do. Emma stone is great as billiejean king. Steve ca rell absolutely inhabits this clown, you know, male chauvinist buffoon role of bobby riggs. The texture of the film is great it feels like a film that was made in the 19705. Its got an important lgbt story at the centre of it, its got political relevance, its very, very personal. Again, its funny. It is a comedic drama and its all true. The weird thing is youre looking at it and you think, they must be making this stuff up and then you see the documentary and its absolutely true. Yes, fantastic. Quick thought about dvds for anyone who wants to stay in . My feral heart came out last week we werent on last week but this is a really, really great indie pic. One of my favourites of the year, directed by jane gull. Steven brandon is a young man trying to find his place in the world. Its a film that did brilliantly with the our Screen Programme in which people put on screenings in their own cinemas. It really found its audience. It was a film with a very, very low budget. Again made with an enormous amount of heart and it is terrific. Its called my feral heart and i defy anyone not to be won over by it. Excellent. I am looking forward to that one. Thank you very much, mark. Thank you. A really interesting week. Thank you. Just a reminder, of course you can find all film news and reviews from across the bbc online. And all our previous programmes are on the iplayer as well of course. And that is it for this week. Hello. As we are switching from saturday to sunday, it looks as though we have got quite a lot of clout to start the day once again. But things will be brightening up. If you are turning your attention a little further afield, it is warmer in adelaide but cooler than it should be at this time of year. Quite windy and there could be the odd shower initially but it looks dry with a few interruptions actually coming in a few days. A little sunshine today, this is ramsgate in kent late is to go into the day ahead, we will see brighter, less cold weather coming our way but we still have quite a bit of cloud to to clear away and of course it is oui to to clear away and of course it is ourfriend at this to to clear away and of course it is our friend at this time of year, overnight, because it stops the temperatures from falling and it should be largely frost free of atomic at a sunday morning at the weather fronts are giving rain across northern england, slipping southwards through the night. Behind a clearing skies so we could be a tad chilly in the glens but nothing like weve seen this week when it has been quite bitter. Eventually, it should feel a little less cold across southern england. Although quite gloomy first thing, great and murky, lots of low cloud trapped in the hills and headlands and fog but an improving picture. Bear with us. Patchy cloud and ran across northern ireland, the east face early brightness, the west late. The scotland, a tad chilly, some fog first things, a few showers in the Northern Isles but then the wind should let the cloud away from the south. Again, not excessively windy but helping it leased to brighten the skies. Rain at the same time trickling back to western scotland and Clearing Northern ireland but never really clears from western areas, it is always a little cloudy with an authentic with some sunshine despite that, cooler than it was today and mild as i mentioned in the south. A higher starting temperature for a start. Through the coming night, as we move into the rush hour monday morning, a little bit of mist and fog, central and eastern areas, but the least there was a child of the clears of seeing some sunshine we re the clears of seeing some sunshine were generally, the atlantic flow is coming in so it is bringing with it a lot of clout at the start of the week, some patchy rain and drizzle but it is like the most part, the nine conditions, temperatures are higher than they were last week because we have High Pressure and at this time of year, it tends to keep things fairly quiet. It gives the weather fronts at bay, the low pressure, weather fronts at bay, the low pressure , however weather fronts at bay, the low pressure, however as we head towards the middle of the week, you guessed it, but in the forecast, the low pressure area has a name on it, turning much more settled with heavy rain, strong to Gale Force Winds and behind that of the clears away thursday and friday, it turns colder again, the return of the arctic air and the wintry refills to make the most of the fairly quiet weather through the next few days.
