Thank you very much. Hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies now available for viewing in the home. Now cinemas may be closed, but movies can still transport us around the world. Take the county, an arresting icelandic drama set in a remote farming community. Recently widowed inga declares war on the local cooperative, which she believes has become a mafia like monopoly, controlling the industry, driving up prices and exploiting the very community it was set up to protect. Faced with the threat of bankruptcy and ever more suspicious of the forces which may have driven her husband to an early grave, inga finds her own voice, encouraging herfellow farmers to take back control of their lives through Facebook Blogs and milk spray protests, throwing shovel loads of manure at authority, both metaphorically and literally. In his 2015 film rams, writer director Grimur Hakonarson explored the feud between two sheep farming brothers who find themselves facing a cull that threatens both their ancestral stock and their entire way of life. Here he peels back another layer of icelandic culture, focusing on a woman making her mark in a very male dominated world. Theres a touch of Frances Mcdormands character from three billboards outside epping, missouri, and the rebellious figure into which inga transforms. Although anyone who enjoyed the 2018 icelandic hit woman at war may see closer ties with that films eco warrior heroine. Arndis hronn egilsdottir does a terrificjob embodying ingas gradual change from stoically suffering farm owner to Unstoppable Force of nature. A change that catches everyone by surprise, friends and foe alike. Pitched somewhere between a personal drama, a bone dry black comedy and a sociopolitical thriller, the county is a melancholy oddity, carried shoulder high by its central performance and framed in widescreen vistas that perfectly capture both the mystery and the loneliness of this landscape. You can find the county on curzon home cinema. Singing voice. Bell tolling. From iceland to bosnia via the netherlands, in take me somewhere nice, the arresting feature debut from ena sendijarevic. Sara luna zoric is alma, the dutch bosnian teenager who journeys from the home in holland that she shares with her mother to visit the hospitalised father whom she lost to nostalgia for his homeland many years ago. Shes been told that her cousin will help herfind her way but he claims to be too busy to take her anywhere leaving alma to be abandoned and kidnapped, helped and hindered, loved and hated by emir and his friend denis. Clearly inspired by the tone ofjim jarmuschs indie american road movie stranger than paradise, take me somewhere nice has a deadpan absurdist streak throwing its protagonist together on a seemingly aimless but actually rather moving odyssey. A coming of agejourney variously furnished with lost suitcases, heady encounters, and meagre coffins. The colourful Academy Ratio framing finds strange beauty in unlikely circumstances as action moves from derelict houses to magical theatres from the towns to the mountain tops exploring its central themes of migration and duality through the divided soul of alma who is at one point literally cut in half. And note that is not a plot spoiler. Its just another peculiar detail in a film filled with memorable images in which everything and nothing appeared to be happening simultaneously. Take me somewhere nice is now available on moopy. I first saw finnish director j p valkea paas film dogs dont wear pants at a Film Festival in strasbourg, and it was due to be playing in uk cinemas just as lockdown began in march. It is now available on a range of uk streaming services and its well with your attention. The story follows a middle age heart surgeon whose life falls apart in the wake of tragedy but who finds unexpected escape from pain in the rituals of bondage. Maintaining a remarkable balance between dry humour and deadening grief, valkeapaa who made the visitor and they have escaped, takes us tumbling down a rabbit hole into a wonderland world of sex positive wish fulfillment. Despite the title which in english at least has overtones of naff carried on style buffoonery, the result is sometimes shocking, often funny, but ultimately redemptive and uplifting. The same cannot be said of bad boys for life, the belated three quel to a franchise everyone thought had run its course back in 2003 but would return to cinemas earlier this year to surprisingly crowd pleasing effect albeit without michael bay who makes a fleeting cameo appearance. It is carnage. You didnt shoot anybody . Come on, cap, you know i shot some people. Yeah. Will smith and Martin Lawrence are back older but not necessarily wiser one longing for retirement, the other out for revenge. Its a one note gag that didnt tickle my funny bone although, in the interests of editorial honesty, i must confess that the rest of audience in the packed cinema i saw it in injanuary appeared to enjoy it enormously. Whether it will get the same kind of response in front rooms around the country remains to be seen. You can own it on dvd and blu ray from monday. Personally, id give the hollywood blockbusters a miss and check out something more adventurous like the orphanage which anna smith recommended here on the film review last week and is now available on mooby. The tale of a teenage boys life in soviet occupied afghanistan, this beautifully empathetic film has something of the true grit of a coming of age story that does not shy away from the grim realities of its central characters circumstances. But the use of bollywood inspired fantasy sequences is a masterstroke, expressing the inner life of these downtrodden youngsters with wit, dexterity and surprising sincerity. But my own pick of the very best film currently available for home viewing is never really sometimes always a brilliant drama from Eliza Hittman that addresses the urgent contemporary issue of reproductive rights through a coming of age story that presents a note perfect portrayal of female friendship. I saw you were not at school today. I went to the doctor. Are you ok . Yeah, im fine. Whats wrong . Girl problems. Combining the melancholy realism of midnight cowboy with humanism, this is a remarkable film from an oustanding film maker. It is honest, truthful and powerful. Do not miss it. I will leave you with a reminder that even though cinemas are currently closed, there is a whole wealth of movie heritage out there on the web with films like the third man coming to bfi player on monday, giving you a chance to catch up on all those classics youd always wanted to watch. Thats it for this week, thanks for watching the film review, and i will be back next week with more home viewing treats. Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do . What you gonna do when they come for you. No. Never. Yall will never do that again hello there.
