Now, it is time for the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. So mark, what do we have this week . We had a new version ofjourneys end. Helen mirren in winchester, the ghost story chiller. And an oscar nominated Denzel Washington in romanj israel, esq. Journeys end, is it a tough watch . I was very impressed by it, it is directed by a man whose previous film was about world war ii. This is set in the trenches of world war i, a terrific ensemble cast, toby jones, paul bettany. Jones, paul bettany. And essentially what the film does is ca ptu re essentially what the film does is capture the sort of day to day squalor and struggle and comradeship of people in those trenches in the middle of that terrible war. My my darling joan. When you read this, i dont imagine that for one moment you will feel bitter and resentful. But you will find comfort in the thought that i went down fighting for my country. You are too clear headed for that, my darling. There is a job to be done. It ought never to have arisen, but that is not the point. I have had so very much out of life. And all these youngsters do not realise how unlucky they are. So new are they to their very existence. Paul bettany, paul betta ny, capturing paul bettany, capturing the understated power of the drama. This isa understated power of the drama. This is a story that everyone knows, but i think they bring something new to it. There is a palpable sense of terror, as the fact that we are waiting for a german attack, it hangs heavy over the drama. I think the director cranks up the tension, while all the time reminding us that this is to do with the characters, their day to day life, that strange mixture of on the one hand grinding boredom and on the other hand imminent terror balanced very nicely. You get a raw sense of being there in that trench environment. I think what this film manages to do is take a classic text and make it com pletely releva nt, is take a classic text and make it completely relevant, it is very cinematic. The performances are terrific, there are laughs as well, and there is real vibrancy in it. But i find it very moving, very powerful, very harrowing, and a very sort of potent reminder ofjust what was at stake in what was sacrificed. I thought it was really good, it was a really good adaptation. You are a horror film fan, you are a horrorfilm fan, argue . Winchester is not going to scare you. This is inspired by the true story of sarah winchester, the widowed heiress of the winchester rifle fortune. Some people said she was haunted by the spirits that have been killed spirits of the People Killed by the firearms. Is she crazy, is she haunted, is it all in her mind . This sounds like a great set up, no, all that ambiguity goes out in ten seconds. The house goes bang, there are lots ofjump scares, the movie shout at you. 0k, fine, it is an interesting setup, but once you are into it, it is like the most mechanical roller coaster ride. None of it is scary. Dame helen mirren does a brilliantjob of keeping a straight face why did she say yes to this . She said it is in the tradition of great japanese ghost stories, it is nothing like that it is like twister. At no point, at any point, didi twister. At no point, at any point, did ifeel there twister. At no point, at any point, did i feel there was any ambiguity, any uncertainty, and it was not scary. You are completely safe with this. I cant see it you have sold it. Denzel washington, 30 years after his first 0scar Denzel Washington, 30 years after his first oscar nomination, he plays a savant law attorney, very dedicated to civil rights causes, but is absolutely terrible with people. So for most of his career he has been the person in the backroom, who does the book work, then the partner he has been working with suddenly finds himself in hospital, and he has to step up and do the interaction, and he cannot do it. Heres a clip. My client is interested in discussing a deal. Refresh me. Convenience store shooting, a man was killed. The shooter in this case was a fugitive. My client may know his whereabouts and might be willing to testify. He will deliver on that . If you waive all objections on appeal, and he is willing to cooperate, we will drop the assault and kidnapping, and drop murder1 2 in the assault and kidnapping, and drop murder 1 2 in voluntary manslaughter, ten years. It is a good deal. Im sorry for taking a nanosecond of of your Rubber Stamp Assembly line existence. Hello . so he cant do any of the interaction stuff, but he needs money. So he sells out. The beginning is him accusing himself of having sold out. It is an uneven drama, it tries to cram a huge character arc into a small period of time. But he is really watchable, you do believe in his transition between somebody who is very idealistic to somebody who is selling himself out, even if you dont quite believe the drama around him. It is quite often funny, sometimes the town is uneven to the point of not working, and i have to say it really loses its way in the third act. The town is uneven. And ultimately it is not hang together, but wouldnt you rather look at a movie which tries to do Something Interesting and doesnt quite pull it off, rather than something that is quite down the line . It is held together by his performance, which is immensely watchable. And he is so likeable, i so liked Denzel Washington, but i guess you want it to be better. Was it created just as a vehicle for him . Look, i think it is it created just as a vehicle for him . Look, ithink it is a it created just as a vehicle for him . Look, i think it is a film that is trying to do a very complicated character arc, in a very compressed period of time, and it doesnt quite hang together. But it has such a strong lightning rod performance at the end of it, that you cant forgive it for the things that are wrong with it. Phantom thread. This is the new paul thomas anderson. I think it is his best film since punch drunk love. Daniel day lewis is obsessed with rituals, everything in his life has to be one way. Lesley manville is his sister, and some suddenly his life falls apart. He falls in love with a woman. Firstly it has a brilliant score byjonny greenwood who has been oscar nominated. In the music is wonderful. I do think Lesley Manville is going to win for best supporting actress. I have no seen this four time, and every time i see it it looks like it is a different film. I have now seen. The more i watch it, the more it becomes a fairy tale, like a powell and pressburgerfilm. Becomes a fairy tale, like a powell and pressburger film. But becomes a fairy tale, like a powell and pressburgerfilm. But it is becomes a fairy tale, like a powell and pressburger film. But it is also about a woman entering a film a world that is like bluebeard. The art world that is like bluebeard. The a rt ventures world that is like bluebeard. The art ventures out into the forest, strange mushrooms that have extraordinary powers. The art ventures. 0lynn it is odd it is beautifully made. Wright it is beautifully made. That is such a backhanded compliment i loved the first half hour so much, and there is such attention to detail, with the music and the costu mes, detail, with the music and the costumes, but the relationship between the two of them just got weirder and weirder. But it is a fairy tale, it is a mythical allegory. It is a horror what it really is, it is a ghost story about him being obsessed with the ghost of his mother. If you want a ghost story, forget about winchester, go and see this. Very quick thought about dvd, im curious as to whether, should blade runner even be watched on dvd, isnt it made for the big screen . runner even be watched on dvd, isnt it made for the big screen . I saw it first on a huge imax screen. Heres the good news, it does stand up, because big beyond the extraordinary visuals, it is a film that has substance. It is about something, it is about what Artificial Intelligence is and what it means to have a soul not have a soul. It isa soul. It is a very different experience on home viewing, but even if you saw it in the cinema and loved it, it is going to work again on dvd or blu ray. And though it is really divisive for some people, but i think it is great. Mark, thank you very much. A quick reminder before we go that youll 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. I think it is the week to go and see phantom thread myself. Goodbye. Staying cold as we move into this weekend. Where we have clear skies to begin with, the temperatures will fall away and a frost will fall, but the clyde will increase from the west. Bringing outbreaks of rain, some of which will fall is still on high ground. A few patches of ice not out of the question, and a cold night to come, these are the temperatures in towns and cities, but in rural areas it will be colder. That weather front of the west will gradually move eastwards as we move through the day, the rain becoming increasingly patchy. Brightening up in the north west, but across the board a cold day to come with highs of six celsius. So a cold start of the day on sunday. Frosty for many, there will be some brighter intervals particularly in the west, but it wont feel particularly warm, and there could be some wintry showers in the south east. Theresa may refuses to be drawn on exactly what kind of trade relationship she wants with the eu.
