A builder s accident that turned into a fantastic discovery. They we re into a fantastic discovery. They were doing some work. Theyve been doing big River Management for a museum. They went through a wrong bet they found what seemed to be a hidden chamber. Big refurbishment. This is the ultimate selfy stick. They could turn a mobile phone into a whole, and discovered a hidden stairway, and in the stairway. There were 30 lead coffins. And these are quite a lot of archbishops of canterbury, dating back to the 17th century. How could you misplace your archbishops . Thank you misplace your archbishops . Thank you for that. That is such a mystery. Thank you jo and nigel. It has been a pleasure as usual. Thats it for the papers tonight. Coming up next its the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks Cinema Releases is james king. What do we have this week . First up, fast cars and tight t shirts. It is the return of vin diesel in the fast and the furious 8. From the ridiculous to the sublime, Park Chan Wooks glamorous and amorous the handmaiden. And broadbent and rampling re live their teenage years in the pensieve the sense of an ending. So fast furious 8. Have you seen the other seven . A couple. So we are onto number eight but still an impressive cast . Impressive cast, Impressive Box Office returns. This is such a huge franchise, this one will be huge. The interesting thing about the franchise is where they go with it. They have to give audiences what they want, which generally speaking are the big Action Scenes which is the car chases. The Big Point Of Difference this time round, is that vin diesel who plays dominic toretto, the lead character has gone rogue. He has gone to the dark side. He is hooked up with a superb criminal Called Cipher played by charlize theron, who is a hacker extroadinaire. He is playing the bad guy again. We have a clip of them. This is what vin diesel does for most of the movie which is looked puzzled. Here he is. Let me ask you something, dom, what is the best thing in life . Family. No, it is not. Not if you are being honest. It is the ten seconds between start and finish when youre not thinking about anything, no family, no obligations, just you, being free. I got to tell you, this whole saving the world, robin hood nonsense you have been doing recently, it is not you. Be who you are. Why live only a quarter of a mile at a time when you can live your whole life that way. I think we get a sense there. Im just looking at the cast list, helen mirren . Helen mirren playing Jason Stathams mum, who would have thought it . I dont think helen mirren ever thought it, judging by her performance she is actually funny in it. It is a deliberately over the top Cockney Sparrow performance from her. Jason statham provides the best moment of the film. It is a scene where he is fighting the bad guys on a plane, at the same time as trying to save a baby in a carrying cot, so he has to punch people one second and the next second look after the baby. It is like something jackie chan would have done. It is almost like ballet. It is an entertaining scene in the movie. A lot of it is car chases. That is fine, that is what people want. Is it doing anything that different to the other ones . I am not sure. There is a formula and it is sticking closely to it. What will number nine look like . I hope number nine will shock us. I hope it will take more risks. I enjoyed number eight, it did a good job but the problem i had is, it was occasionally treading water and i wanted more surprises. Although this will be massive, i hope the next one will take more risks. Lets talk about the handmaiden. It was clear in your introduction, this is a film you really like . This is great. It is inspired by The Book Fingersmith by sarah waters. There was a bbc adaptation of it. A Victorian English setting. Now it is directed by Park Chan Wook who is south koreas most respected film director. He has moved the action from Victorian England to 19305 japanese occupied korea. But the story is generally the same. A young girl from a criminal background goes to work for the lady of the manor but she is actually there to swindle her out of her fortune. Unlike the book, it really relishes the power of storytelling, in other words, it is the twists and the turns, it is the horror, the comedy, the romance, it throws everything into the mix and does it in a really luxurious and lush way. I want to call it a romp but that sounds throwaway and it is not. It is a Costume Drama . A Costume Drama but heartfelt. Although it is fun to watch because there is so much going on, it is intelligent and heartfelt and tender. Ultimately, it is a romance. It is a beautiful, tender love story. Absolutely beautiful to watch, highly recommended. And a major twist . At least one . At least one. I had read the book so i knew the twists. The end of the handmaiden, the movie was different to fingersmith. Even though i knew the twists, it was still a joy to watch. Lets move on to the sense of an ending. Another literary adaptation. Julian barnes wrote the book which won the booker prize. In 2011. Now we have the movie with Jim Broadbent. He plays tony webster, who is semi retired and works in a camera shop. Out of the blue he gets a letter saying the mother of his Ex Girlfriend from when he was a teenager has died and he has been left something in her will. This gets him reminiscing and thinking back to his teenage years when he was at school and college and that girlfriend and her mother. In the present day, that Ex Girlfriend is played by Charlotte Rampling so here isjim and charlotte getting to know one another again. Lets take a look. Are you married, itake it . Not married. Never . Mysterious to a fault. Im divorced, in case you were wondering. I wasnt, but i am sorry to hear that. 0n the contrary, very happily so. The best decision we ever undertook. In fact, she recently accused me of having built a shrine to you, no less. A shop, when i told her that it was you who gave me my first leica. And what did you say . A remarkable cast. The only criticism i have read about the sense of an ending is a criticism of the ending it is certainly a story that deals with quite subtle and nuanced arguments about memory and the past and subjectivity, so in a way it can never have a big punch of an ending. In a way, the ending had to be slightly anti climactic, because that is sort of what it is about, but when you have performances like Jim Broadbent, Charlotte Rampling who does stern and mysterious better than anyone else, when you have that calibre of performers in a movie, however subtle and nuanced and slow the story is, and it is slow, you are automatically drawn in. I liked that it dealt with quite abstract subjects. And it goes back to the 605 . That is an easy transition . It takes awhile to get to know the story if you have not read the book already, so it takes awhile to work where the penny will drop but for me that is part of the joy of the film that you have to work a bit to get into it. And with Jim Broadbent and Charlotte Rampling you will not go far wrong . Jim broadbent is more of a curmudgeon in this movie but he does it row well. Now, you have chosen raw. Mark waxed lyrical about this. It is an arthouse cannibal movie. He would be upset if i did not mention it again this week i really liked it. It does have an unwavering commitment to unsettling the audience. It is set in a Veterinary College about a teenage girl who discovers her taste for flesh, her taste for cannibalism, and it is genuinely creepy and weird. The lighting, the music, the performances, it has this Sort Of Industrial Brutalist backdrop and surreal moments, and it is not often with horror films you can say ijust havent seen anything like it before, and it genuinely disturbed me. But raw did that and did it in a beautiful way. It is an elegant film. She starts as a vegetarian she starts as a vegetarian but things happen at college which make her realise she is perhaps not quite as vegetarian as she thought. On the squeamish scale, it sounds like something, where would you pitch it in taste . That is the wrong phrase it is squeamish because it is beautifully done. Because of the elegance that makes it more horrific. Sometimes if it is straight out blood and guts slasher movie it is so in your face and there is nothing to it. When it is more subtle, that is actually creepier. Lets move on, please to dvd. This is sully, the story of the pilot who managed to land his plane on the hudson river. It is directed by clint eastwood. It was raved about at the time. And i will still rave about it. Tom hanks stars as sully. Although you expect it to be about the Crash Landing in 2009, it is in there, you see that, you experience that, but it also shows you what happened before. It also shows you sully afterwards. It shows you the investigation which happened afterwards. He has to prove that he did the right thing, that he is a hero, and of course tom hanks can do the everyday down to earth reasonable hero probably better than anyone else. So it is not perhaps the movie you would expect but i think that makes it all the better, because it does delve a lot deeper. And it is that quiet unfussy. Unfussy is a great word for it. Clint eastwood does that very well. He brings movies in on budget and on time. He does the job intelligently and you see all of that in this movie. James, always a pleasure. Thank you. James king there. That is it for this week, thanks for watching. Goodbye. Good evening. Most of the showers have faded. But we actually have wet weather on the way to night, making a different day for many of you tomorrow. Wettest in northern ireland, parts of south west scotland.
