To bar girls from getting an education, simply because they are wearing a skirt, i think its Political Correctness gone mad. Pa rents Political Correctness gone mad. Parents agree and say the new School Uniform isnt cheap either. Weve all had to try to scramble to find trousers, none of the uniforms are in stock, its really expensive, its over £100 per student. The school could only see her in changing rooms yesterday trying on trousers, they do not fit her. Shes not comfortable in them. And the remarks that she says about her own body, as a parent, having to listen to that is really quite upsetting. Despite dozens of children being sent home today, students and pa rents say sent home today, students and parents say they will stage another protest next week. Putting pressure on the school to change its uniform policy. Well now im bbc news, its 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 . Very interesting week. We have rojo a film set in argentina about corruption. We have it chapter two, following in the footsteps of the biggest horror film of all time. And we have the shiny shrimps, a story about a Swimming Team with a difference. So, rojo, a director im not familiar with. Should i be . He has amde filns before, but this is a breakthrough feature. It is a story set in argentina in the run up to the coup. We open with a shot of a house being emptied of all is possessions and we are not entirely sure why. We then cut to a scene in a restaurant of a man who seems very cultured, he is a lawyer, he is sitting at a restaurant table waiting to have his meal, but his wife is late. Somebody says i need the table, because youre not actually eating. He says fine and stands up, he then proceeds to chastise the other guy, as he explains that he would only do that because he is rude and he eviscerates the man in front of a crowd. 0utside on the street afterwards, they meet. Here is a clip. I am already quite tense and i do not even know what happens. Unsurprisingly, the encounter does not end well. The central character is in quite a dilemma. Whether to do the honourable thing, whether to bury what has happened and try to pretend it did not happen. The film then becomes a story that is unfolding in a land in which people are disappearing. In which sinisterforces are at work, but the bourgeois middle class are pretending it is not happening. You get a collision between on one hand a satire of bourgeois middle class life, full of tennis and dinner parties, and on the other hand this creeping sense of real horror around the edges of it. A detective turned up to investigate a case in which the central character was involved. He is a tv detective, he is notjust a detective, he is a television personality. The whole film, what i really like about it, there is a knife edge between on the one hand it is chilling and on the other it is satirical. It obviously has a Strong Political undercurrent, but the best thing about it is you do not have to know that in advance. You not uses phase of the time, show do not tell do not have a film in which somebody gets up and explains the plot. 0r explains the significance of the plot. It is one of those films which creeps up on you. You could probably interpret it in many different ways, the story is told through what characters do, not what they say. I have always found that that is something, show do not tell, is key for me. Action is character, let the character tell the story. Wider implications become i think derry are based. They are very, very obvious. It is a drama with specifics, which expands much greater. 0k, sounds interesting. Number two. We know how this goes. Did you just ask me if i have seen that in all seriousness . You have gone to see horror films,. It was not particularly scary, it was a mainstream movie, but it was hugely successful. So now we have it chapter two. An adaptation of the stephen king novel. 27 years later, the losers club returns back to derry by the re emergent of it, the clown like shape shifter. The problem with this film, the first was a coming of age story with horror elements in it. I thought it was really well directed. This feel like something which is altogether more episodic, altogether more bitter. It is nearly three hours long. It has numerous strands and operates over two different timeframes with individual set pieces, you are saying one now, which are played out really brilliantly and well orchestrated. But for a movie which concentrates so much on memory, forgetting, on characters going underground and discovering what lies beneath, the film itself is much more about service. Its individual moments work in and of itself, when you put them together, they do not add up to a coherent narrative. My biggest problem is that i think for horror to work properly, you have to be emotionally engaged and i found myself 90 minutes into the nearly three hours of this thinking that is engagement is not kicking in. That is not to say it is not brilliant, it is clearly made by somebody who loves the story and the genre. But the problem is what it does not have is that emotional through line that the first one did. You should see the first one, because it is basically a coming of age movie thatjust happens to have scary stuff in it. I do remember you telling me that. Something that is three hours, it has to be worth that. That is an issue. I think there is no question. It starts to feel like a tv miniseries. Of course, it was all those years ago. You do wonder, why is this feeling so episodic . The third film. I saw a trailer for this in the cinema and i was the only one he chuckled. Oh, really . I think its really charming. The shiny shrimps, the professional swimmer who is interviewed by a tv interviewer he keeps saying you are past your prime, everything is going wrong for you. He then rebuts him with a homophobic epithet. He said something outrageous and immediately he is thrown out and told you have to make it up to the Lgbt Community and the way you have to do that is to become the coach to the shiny shrimps. A gay mens Water Polo Team he will take place in croatia. Initially he isnt thrilled but inevitably, as you see in the trailer, it all works together. Here is a clip. Kids, hey kid kid . Two minutes, copy that. You get a sense of something from that. Its full of cliches and stereotypes, nothing surprising about the script. You are referring to swimming with memories, its like swimming with men that come across with Priscilla Queen of the desert, the only thing i would say, you would have to be pretty hard hearted not to chuckle, not to be charmed by it. Because its not to chuckle, not to be charmed by it. Because its heart is solidly in the right place, and i think it is and it kind of clumsy way, its a rather charming film. It is rather a charming film, i enjoyed it. I do not think it is Ground Breaking in anyway, but it is good fun. Theres a lot to be said for fun in todays world. Markjenkins made this film about a fishing village in cornwall. It is about the battle between past, present and future. It is shot on clockwork cameras with 16mm black and white which which markjenkins developed in his studio. It is i think a genuine modern masterpiece that i think it is one of the defining british films of the decade. It has done so well in its opening week that they have expanded the number of cinemas in which it is playing, i think it is in twice the number of screens that it was playing in the first week, because the response has been great. It is notjust a film which critics are saying is great, audiences are loving it. I am struck by the fact that i have thought about it every day since i have seen it. I do not love everything about it, but i think it is extremely clever. I was really struck by the sound, as well. Something, i am afraid i do not always notice sound, there is something really unusual, in a good way, about that. Really haunting imagery and the way in which the sound bubbles up on the ground is really impressive. It gives you the sense that youre watching something that is completely organic and utterly in and of the place that it is set in. I really enjoyed it. Absolutely, it is a passion project for it is a labour of love and it is really wonderful. Quick thought of what else is around . Hi life is a really interesting sci fi film with robert pattinson. It is a film which goes into outer space, but it is really about inner space. It is about what is happening within, rather than about what is happening without. It is enigmatic, very strange and something that you really have to give yourself over to. It is really worth seeing. I really enjoyed it. Pattinson is brilliant. Really interesting week. Thank you very much. That is all for this week, enjoy your cinema whatever you decide to go and see.
