Hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases, as ever, mark kermode is with me, and what will you be telling us about this week, mark . Very interesting week. We have jackie, in which Natalie Portman plays the first lady. We have split, a psychological thrillerfrom m night shyamalan. And lion, the true story of a little boy lost. Well, jackie, how timely . Yes, extraordinary, isnt it . So this is directed by chilean film maker pablo larrain, and its the story of the assassination and aftermath ofjohn f kennedy, as seen through the eyes of Jackie Kennedy, played, as everyone will know, by Natalie Portman. Theres been an awful lot of interest in her performance, lots and lots of nominations, and the film plays out like a kaleidoscope. Its essentiallyjuggling a series of different time frames that are all meant to be representing her fragmented state of mind, so we have the motorcade in dallas, the aftermath in washington, we have the funeral, the huge sort of funeral arrangements, and we also have a wrap round which is Jackie Kennedy being interviewed by a journalist who, in the film is unnamed, but its obviously inspired by the Life Magazine interview. At the very beginning of the interview she says to him, just remember im editing this conversation. And he says, ok, its going to be your version of events. Heres a clip. Youll have to share something personal eventually. People wont stop asking until you do. And if i dont, theyll interpret my silence however they want . Her brow furrows, her lips are drawn. She holds back her tears but she cant hide her anger. Most writers want to be famous. You want to be famous . No, im fine as i am, thank you. You should prepare yourself. This article will bring you a great deal of attention. In that case, any advice for me . Yes. Dont marry the president. Are you afraid im about to cry again . No, id say youre more likely to scream . Scream what . My husband was a great man. And interesting, because people might think we know everything there is to know about that story, is there anything new in this, does it resonate . What it does is, it attempts to portray her, firstly as somebody going through an horrendous personal crisis, and we do have the assassination, and it is shocking, as it should be. But also somebody who, in the period immediately afterwards, is constructing the legacy, is basically building the camelot story, which then became the Story Everybody told aboutjfk. Jackie is portrayed very much as first lady of the televisual age, somebody who is a master of the printed word and also the moving image. Some of the things you may have noticed from that clip her performance is very arch, very stagey, very mannered, and when i first saw the film i actually found that alienating. It was only later on, and i have seen it twice now, i realised what it is alienated. She is alienated from her surroundings. Because the film has this kaleidescopic and necessarily fragmentary structure, it is possible that it may not gel, that it may not engage you emotionally. The key to it doing the emotional engagement is mica levis score, which is absolutely brilliant, and its one of those films in which the music is the thing that pulls it all together. Pulls all these different fragments, shards, elements together, and involves you in the story emotionally. I think Natalie Portmans performance is very peculiar, very strange, but its because she is performing a performance. She is playing somebody on a stage, also somebody in the eye of a storm. The music for me is what made it, you know, cohere, what made it gel, what made it into something other than just a kind of arch and slightly abstract exercise in revisiting history. Well, we will find out next week whether she has been nominated for an oscar, of course. Lets talk about split. James mcavoy, Great British actor back on the screen. Yes, so this is a new film from m night shyamalan, who i think is still best known for the sixth sense, and had a run of critically acclaimed films and then made some real stinkers, and kind of came back recently with a sort of stripped down found footage movie. This is, i think its an interesting story. James mcavoy plays somebody who has 23 separate personalities. At the beginning of film we see him kidnapping some young women, one of them is played by anya taylor joy, who was so brilliant in the witch, who realises pretty early on the key to her survival is going to be negotiating with different personalities that seem to be existing within this one warring character. Now, mcavoy has real fun with the role. He really enjoys it. On the one hand, he is playing someone who is a fashion designer, another is a young child with a lisp, and theres a very prim, proper woman called patricia, and all these controlling elements, and they keep talking about the beast, the beast, this thing called the beast, which may or may not surface. Shyamalan, i think, is not the is not quite the master of the genre that he once looked like being. Sometimes the screenplay is very clunky, some of the direction is a little bit creaky and the story is preposterous, but in a way which is but if you saw it as like an Old Fashioned b movie, when you kind of think, ok, its one of those films, it kind of functions 0k, but it is held Shoulder High by mcavoys performance, and also by the fact that if you accept that the set up is fairly preposterous, and what youre going to get shouldnt be taken too seriously, there are certain joys about it. It is much better than the films he was making a few years ago, when he really did seem to be somebody, who, having started with, you know, brilliant work like sixth sense, had then just gone completely out of control, and was making nonsensical Science Fiction movies. And described as horrorfilm when ive read about it. Is that accurate . Its a psychological thriller with some horror elements, yes. Thats probably the best way. I think he would like to describe it as a mystery. I would describe it as a clunky b movie, raised Shoulder High by the central performance, which of course is several central performances in one. Lion, based on a true story. An extraordinary true story. This whole thing about truth is stranger than fiction. The story of a young boy in the mid 80s, from kandahar, who got onto a train on which he was trapped, which then travelled 1600 kilometres, and by the time he got off it he was away from home, couldnt speak the language, didnt know how to describe how to get himself back home, and ended up in the hands of the authorities and ended up being adopted by a couple in tasmania. Decades later, the taste of an indian sweet food suddenly sends him into a reverie, which takes him back to his childhood and he suddenly becomes obsessed with trying to find the life that he lost, and had almost forgotten about. Heres a clip. Saroo you need to face reality. What do you mean, reality . Do you have any idea what its like knowing my real brother and mother spend every day of their lives looking for me . How every day my real Brother Screams My Name . Can you imagine the pain they must be in, not knowing where i am . 25 years, luce. 25 why didnt you tell me that was happening for you . We swan about in our privileged lives. It makes me sick. I have to find home. They need to know im 0k. I mean, hes a hugely likeable actor, dev patel. He is absolutely brilliant in this, and also the film itself does a very good job of not becoming what you think it might be, which is the film in which somebody looks something up on google earth. Its a film which has real emotional resonance. The opening scenes with the young boy, the five year old boy getting lost in the Train Station has a Spielbergy Element to it. The young kid with the enormous machinery of these Train Stations. Its heartbreaking stuff. It doesnt descend into melodrama. Nicole kidman as saroos adoptive mother does a very, very good job of an understated performance, which manages to show two things. Firstly anguish, but she also manages to demonstrate love, which is a really hard thing to act on screen, and i think she does it brilliantly. I have seen this twice now, both times i confess i have been reduced to floods of tears by it. I think you would have to be pretty hard hearted not to. It is a really, really moving story, and it is told in a way which is populist and accessible, but also, i think, profoundly touching, and even second time around, even when i knew, because the first time round i didnt know anything about the story, i saw it completely cold. Even second time round when i did, i found it a very overwhelming experience. Definitely one to see then. Best out i have a feeling i know what you might pick . Its la la land. The biggest problem la la land has is, everyone says la la land is brilliant, so now there is almost a backlash, people saying 0h, surely it cant be as good as that. It is, im sorry, it is. Its a modern musical that owes a debt to the Umbrellas Of Cherbourg and singin in the rain, but also to casablanca and new york, new york. And the big crowd scenes, the big numbers are quite something. And ive heard some people say oh, theres not a memorable tune in it. Theres lots of course there are. I could be singing that soundtrack endlessly since seeing the film. I thought it was really charming. I thnk Damien Chazelle has done an absolutely brilliant job. I would recommend anybody saw it. Its bitter sweet. It does have a strong poignant thread of sadness, which is what makes the joyful element morejoyful. I loved it. I absolutely loved it. Your thoughts about dvd. I dont know this one, i confess. So kubo and the two strings is an animated film, stop Motion Animation film, and, i mean, im a huge animation fan, not least because its such a diverse genre. What i loved about this is the animation itself is breathtaking, you canjust watch it over and over again, which is why its lovely to have it for home viewing. Its a lovely complicated multi layered story, which is told through words, actions, but also through music, and its one of those films i think genuinely audiences of all ages can watch, and a film which treats its audience with respect. It imagines that its audience is smart enough to keep up with the story, is emotionally engaged enough to understand the deeper themes of the story, and are also willing for the story to play out in its own time. I thought it was dazzling. I thought it was wonderful, and several nominations. I think its a film which really deserves repeat viewing. I can imagine, i have the blu ray of this, i can imagine going back to it time and time again, and every time you see it seeing something you missed the first time. Well, that is a recommendation.
