The greta effect again. How dare you 7 you have the greta effect again. How dare you . You have stolen my dreams, my childhood. We are always told that youths are engaged in politics. In the last election, it is thought that young people turned out to vote in their biggest numbers in 25 yea rs. In their biggest numbers in 25 years. So it makes sense that the parties are making big green promises chase them. Its the brexit bit now, isnt it . Right, i know we got this far without mentioning the b word. But.

So Climate Conversation up in the air, good or bad. 50 more Unanswered Questions around brexit just what we all needed. After all that, is this the first climate election . Hard to say, but this is definitely the most prominent its ever been as an issue. Until next time. See you. And this matters is available on the bbc iplayer weekly throughout the election campaign. Lets show you some life pictures coming to us from southern brazil. The former brazillian president Lula Da Silva has been released from prison in the past couple of minutes. He left the federal Police Department in the city of pratibha. He had beenjailed for eight department in the city of pratibha. He had been jailed for eight years, he was jailed last year on corruption charges, and you can see the supporters that have been gathering, those crowds have really built over the last few hours, supporters of the left wing workers party, the flags flying there. I dont know if you can see him in those crowds, a bit of facial hair wearing a dark jacket. Those crowds, a bit of facial hair wearing a darkjacket. But this follows a ruling from the Brazilian Supreme Court which voted to end. Convicted prisoners to go to jail after living a micro losing their first appeal. They overruled that, saying those prisoners could now be free. Not just saying those prisoners could now be free. Notjust him, of course, former president. This is affecting thousands of prisoners. There he is, you can see him with his grey hair smiling and being cheered on and greeted by supporters of the workers party. Now on bbc news, its time for the film review. Hello, welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks releases as mark kermode. Mark, what do we have this week . A very mixed bag. We have the good liar, which is a super ripe drama starring helen mirren and ian mckellen. We have the irishman, Martin Scorseses netflix film which is playing in cinemas. And luce, a very intriguing psychological thriller. We start with the good liar with helen mirren and ian mcallen. They are silver surfers who meet online. In the opening sequence, they are filling out the Online Dating forms, and they are both fibbing about themselves. And we learn early on that he is a con man, helen mirren is looking for companionship, but a relationship forms between them. But her grandson does not trust ian mckellen and frankly, neither would i. Heres a clip. The size of your estate, thered be a windfall every week. Stephan . I thought you were in spandau. 0h, did you . They let me out early. Stephen, why didnt you let me know you were back . You should have called. What have you got her doing . He moves in here with his skinny leg, and the first time i leave you alone with him, hes got you giving him all your money . Thats not whats going on here thats jumping a few fences. You know what . This isnt your house. Hes an intruder. Can you see that . Youre embarrassing me in front of mr halloran and roy, who i. Dont touch me, dont. So this is adapted from a novel, and at the beginning, we are being set up for a twist which i must say if you didnt see this coming, you were asleep on the job. There is then a second and third twist that made me go, oh for heaven sake if you are to enjoy this, the best way to do it is to enjoy the sight of helen mirren and ian mckellen chewing the scenery for all they are worth. I mean, it is preposterous toss. But that does not mean it is not without its enjoyable i know several people who have enjoyed it for all its ridiculousness. Apparently the novel seems slightly less fanciful. Its kind of a weird cross between miss marple sunday afternoon tv and something slightly more sweary than that. It makes no sense whatsoever. The pleasure in it is seeing two actors enjoying themselves although i must say i never believed they were anything other than to actors enjoying themselves. You never actually believe in the characters as they were. Its an odd film that falls between several stalls. Its directed by bill condon, a very good director, and it has a very fine cast. But it is absolutely ridiculous nonsense. Is this an opportunity missed . The world is full nowadays of conmen trying to wrangle people out of their savings. But heres the thing at the beginning, the premise is being sold as the good liar. Who is the good liar . That is a nice little idea, and obviously one expects there to be twists and turns, which it does exactly what you expect. But then it goes into the realms of the other ridiculous. But theres a certain pleasure in seeing a very fine actors having fun. It doesnt make any sense. Any sense, no sense i think we got that message. Lets move on to the second film, another film with fine actors, the irishman. This is martin scorsese, joe pesci, robert de niro, al pacino. Robert de niro is back working with scorsese and making the kind of movies like goodfellas and casino. Its made from netflix but has a brief theatrical window of 21 days. Its the story of frank sheeran, spanning six decades. Al pacino plastimmy hoffa, the union leader. Joe pesci is being very, very underplayed. Stephen graham is playing the kind of character that joe pesci would have played in a previous incarnation. Theres been a lot of talk about the films digital de ageing technology. We see the characters go from the 1940s through on. And theres lots of question about it being distraction i didnt think it was. The only distracting thing is occasionally, their bodies move like old men, although their faces look young. But in a three and a half hour movie for that to only be occasionally distracting is pretty good. Its a very interesting story, its well told, there is realfilm making brio, there is a terrific soundtrack. The performances are all solid, and it does it takes full advantage of the fact that it is a netflix film, 3. 5 hours long, which is the thing that might make people think they will stay and watch it at home. But i watched it in the cinema, and the run time flew, by with the exception of the last act, which felt like they were with the exception of the last act, which felt like they were making it for a home audience. But i thought it was entertaining and the digital de ageing bothered me much less than expected. And frankly, if they could digitally de aged me in that way, id be very happy. I dont like the idea of that. Its well done, its just digital makeup. Its like performance capture with digital costumes. Digital de ageing is just digital makeup if you use it properly. Its going to put a whole profession out of a job. You still need to use ordinary makeup, as well. Older periods where they do the standard ageing thing. But i think it is the future, you just need to be careful of the technology. It is not the tail wagging the dog. We need to move on to the next one, luce. This is based on a stage play. Naomi watts and tim roth are a liberal White American couple who adopted a child who grew up in war torn eritrea. Now he is a model student, fantastic at sports and debating. But one of his teachers has started to have worries about him. Is something up to him, or does she have a hidden agenda . Heres a clip. What are the criteria for evaluating what is a valuation of privacy . Is privacy a civil right . I think so. Maybe the law isnt so sure. If i went through your desk without your knowing, would you feel like your privacy was violated . Yes, i would. Feelings arent a legal argument. In the newjersey case, the teacher assumed the girl was guilty because of her feelings. Thats called a reasonable suspicion. Thats all the police need to search your car. So its about whats reasonable . Thats what courts are for. But its really about people though, right . Whether they can conform to what we think they are . Its not that simple. Nothing ever is. Thats kind of the nub of it. And i was thinking of the first film, and there are twists where you can see them cominga million miles away. The great thing about this, although feels a bit stage y all the way through, you are kept guessing as to what is actually going on. Doesnt it tell you at the end . In my opinion, it is impressively unresolved. Things get solved it to a certain amount, but it is a film of great ambiguity. Theres a terrific soundtrack by geoff barrow and ben salisbury, whose soundtrack all the way through is telling you this is awkward and off kilter strange things are at work here. What i really liked about it is that its actually hard to sustain a movie in which, right until the very end, you are questioning peoples motives and characters. But you also start to realise the film wont tie itself neatly up. It will leave questions unresolved. I thought it was very, very well played, a great performance by kelvin harrisonjr, Octavia Spencer is terrific. It is a very satirical take on the middle class couple and their presumption about things. The white saviour stuff . Yes, but one of the things it does also is wrong foots the audience. It plays to the audiences expectations, or does it . All the way through this, i kept thinking, this has the sense of ambiguity and uncertainty that the film before didnt have. I dont think it will have a huge cinema audience, but it was well worth seeing. My only reservation is that it is quite stage y. But i thought the story was really well told. 30 seconds for best out . Best out is monos. This extraordinary film which, on the one hand, is a story about child soldiers, but so much more than that. It is a modern day lord of the flies. Extraordinary soundtrack by mica levi, one of the weirdest soundtracks have heard all year, and a brilliant ensemble performance by a cast who are either very well known or completely unknown. Brilliantly disturbing, overwhelming, and wonderful. That sounds incredible. Best dvd . Yesterday. The story is everyone has forgotten the beatles except for our protagonist. What would it be like if you woke up and where the only person who remembered heyjude . Its really fun, im a sucker for Richard Curtis anyways, its really well played. Its one of those things where you either love it or you go, for heavens sake, this makes no sense. I really enjoyed it. I laughed, cried, and watched it twice. The second time around, it was just as powerful. Im a sucker for really well done sentimentality, and this was like a great pop song. Thank you, mark, i still need to see that. Youve made me want to watch it. Thats it for this week. Thanks for watching us. Goodbye. Hello. Temperatures are dropping away quite quickly. Its a widespread frost on the way tonight at least for most places it will be dry. Still a few showers to work their way south across south east england but ahead of this next rain band coming towards Northern Ireland later in the night, it will be dry and clearfor most that widespread frost setting in. There will be some freezing fog patches developing in some spots and chance of ice on untreated surfaces, too. Temperatures recover in the west later tonight. As cloud and rain moves in, looks like a really wet day across the eastern side of Northern Ireland tomorrow. 20 30 mm could bring some disruption. Notjust rain but hill snow to relatively modest hills in wales so dont be surprised by that. Some of the higher parts of the midlands may well see some snow too as this wet weather moves in pushing east across southern england. Looks like the worst of the rain is going to avoid the areas seeing the worst of the flooding at the moment. Much of the north and east of the uk will stay dry with some hazy sunshine. A chilly day. A mainly dry sunday is on the way. This is bbc world news today. Im nancy kacungira. Brazils former president luiz inaio Lula Da Silva walks free from prison.
