Mark kermodes film review is next. Goodbye for now. Hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies available for viewing in the home. The most fascinating and mysterious new release is the french drama, the girl with a bracelet. Stephane demoustiers remake remake of the argentine film, the accused, which is available exclusively on curzon home cinema. Melissa guers is impenetrable and enigmatic as lise, the teenager charged with the murder of her best friend who was found stabbed in her bed after a party sleepover. From the opening scene from which the Police Arrive on a beach to arrest her, to the courtroom proceedings to which we hear that she is the only suspect in this terrible crime, our subject shows little or no emotion. When asked how she feels about the loss of her friend, she was reportedly angry for posting an online video, she seems unmoved and strangely silent. And that she in shock, reeling from the trauma of the murder and the subsequent trial . Or is it she simply a cold blooded killer . Thats a question the film wants us to answer for ourselves, offering only conjecture and speculation as to what really happened leaving us, like thejury, to weigh out the evidence. Its a precarious balancing act that the film pulls off with great aplomb challenging the rituals of grief and the displays of emotion through which we are expected to judge guilt or innocence. While the parents turmoil is clear and present, their daughter remains coolly detached, removed from the drama playing out around her. Watching events unfold through glass. Alone and inscrutable. Volcano man theres nothing inscrutable about Eurovision Song Contest the story of fire saga. An entertaining romp starring will ferrell and Rachel Mcadams as the icelandic hopefuls who wind up representing their country in the music extravaganza after a terrible accident obliterates the competition literally. So we are in . Yeah. Hey baby when you look at me. Its easy to sneer at eurovision, but for those of us who love it and arent afraid to say so, this good hearted musical comedy strikes just the right note. Approaching its subject with a mix of affectionate humour and appropriately outrageous camp pastiche. The plot may be ripped off an old episode of father ted, but theres plenty to enjoy, not least a bare chested dan stevens stealing the show as the beefcake russian favourite, a role which allows screenwriters will ferrell and Andrew Steele to take satirical swipes at the kremlins homophobia while celebrating the inclusivity which lies at the very heart of eurovision. Oh theres a timely reminder that in the current climate, everyone hates the uk. The film is available on netflix now. Democrats are getting their asses kicked. We need some way to road test a more rural friendly message. If you cant live your principles in the bad times, i guess they arent principles, theyrejust hobbies. Nice. John wayne and a tractor have a baby, and all you can say is nice . From musical comedy to political satire in the form ofjon stewarts irresistible. No, no, no, thats a lie. Thats a lie. No. Youre lying. Steve carell and rose byrne play warring Campaign Consultants who descend on a small midwestern town in an attempt to swing a Mayoral Election to their respective political advantage. Chris cooper is coloneljack hastings, a veteran marine and salt of the earth farmer who seems to embody everything the democrats need but sorely lack. Can i be completely honest with you, no bull . That would be nice. But carells gary, he is bill clinton with impulse control or a churchgoing Bernie Sanders with better bone density. And so gary attempts to persuade jack to stand for mayor. Yeah, were the good guys. Throwing behind him the kind of High Tech Campaign that attracts National Attention and national dollars. Meanwhile, byrnes faith shows up to fight to the republican corner as a local election becomes a bellwether for greater things. Pitched somewhere between the appointed barbs of Barry Levinsons wag the dog, and the fish out of water charm of bill forsyths local hero, it is Broad Strokes fare. Hardly radical, but still entertaining nonetheless. Do you have a bottle opener . No, its just a twist, twist off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Maybe he does need a bottle opener. Use your vest. Most importantly the nonpartisan action does not try to tie the sickness of american politics to one party or another. Instead, stewart who proved himself an astute political commentator on the daily show takes aim at a system in which money and power ride roughshod over the interests of ordinary people, whatever their party affiliations. Worth noting that irresistible reminds us of the pitfalls of underestimating the so called common people. Who in capra esque fashion proved more than a match for the elites who try to use them to play politics. Drew was a young, powerful something who cared so much about this music. And so went defjam called me and was like, Russell Simmons wants to offer you this job as a director of a and r at defjam i could not have scripted it better. If you want something more grounded in reality then why not check out on the record . An eye opening documentary from kirby dick and amy kearing. I did not tell that many people about what happened with russell. Following exposes of sexual abuse within the film industry, on the record centres on drew dixons mistreatment within the music business. Specifically at the hands of def Jam Co Founder Russell Simmons. I would never hurt anybody. Having left a high profile career in a and r, dixon is seen struggling with whether or not to go public several years later as other women come forward with experiences strikingly similar to her own. He said he looked at her the other day and realised my daughter is not a victim any more, shes a warrior. And i thought, i would like to be a warrior. Im tired of being a victim. Ive been a victim for 22 years. Let me see with the other thing feels like. Its powerful, intelligent fare deftly negotiating the intersecting strands of sexism and racism which make it particularly difficult for these women to tell their stories lending an important voice to the Metoo Movement that had previously been silenced. Dearly beloved friends, we gather here. Sneeze. In this time of mans greay innocence. Innocence . I will leave you with news that the thoroughly modern adaptation of Jane Austens Emma is now available on dvd and blu ray. Anya taylorjoy is excellent as austens handsome, clever and rich heroine Emma Woodhouse whilejohnny flynn combines vulnerability with a weapons grade animal magnetism notably absent from austens novel as mr knightley. Ms woodhouse such news citing bringing up baby as an inspiration alongside john hughes coming of age movies, rock photographer and music video veteran de wilde takes flirtatious liberties with austens source. An approach that pays crowd pleasing dividends as it reduces the complexities of the text to a caricature screen romp. Talking over each other. Thats it for this week, thanks for watching the film review, stay safe, and i will be back next week with more home viewing treats. Fight for your dream of a life with her, fight like a viking sorry to disturb, but you two do know that iceland is into the eurovision finals . What . It certainly feels like summer has come to an abrupt end, hasnt it . Notjust the outbreaks of rain and fresh air but also the blustery winds and more of the same to come on monday and then through the course of the week perhaps thundery showers on the way. This is what it looks like on the satellite picture. A big low pressure sitting top of us, there for a little while and it will stick around through most of monday and the weather front spiralling into the centre of that low pressure, a lot of isobars there, a big Pressure Gradient that means the wind races into the centre of that low hence it is gusty out there. And this is what looks through the early hours of monday. The heaviest of the rain has been around the north west of england, cumbria, lancashire and parts of the pennines they got a real dose of rain, a Flood Warning in place around keswick. Over monday we will see further heavy spells of rain in the north but in the afternoon it looks as if that will give way to sunshine and showers and another blustery day as gusts of wind in some places will reach a0 miles an hour, near gale force for the time of the year. Temperature is below the average. Around 15 degrees there for glasgow and possibly reaching 19 in london. On tuesday, the jet stream pushes another system in our direction, an area of low pressure not quite as developed as the one we have across right now but it will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain in the morning in the south and to the north i think this is where the focus will be as far as weather goes, heavy showers, some of them thundery across parts of scotland and maybe the north of england. Temperatures again for many of us around the mid high teens. That was tuesday and this is wednesday. Outbreaks of rain in the morning and the south clearing away giving way to sunshine and then showers will start to develop quite widely across the uk during the course of wednesday afternoon. Temperatures around 17 20 celsius with the wind a little lighter from tuesday onwards. This is the summary for the week ahead. A mixed bag across the uk. Sometimes brightness and showers and the temperatures may gently creep up towards the end of the week. This is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world.
