Or nine mini stations, effectively. Build them, and once they were completed, we moved onto the next bit, demolished it, built the new bit, the new bit was running alongside the old bit. It is the largest concourse in the uk. It is twice the size of Liverpool Street station and actually bigger than the pitch at wembley stadium. The station canopies themselves curled up in the centre to create what we call an eyebrow, but thats to actually allow north light and a component of south light down into the station and make it a day lit concourse. When the light streams down through and hits the wood, it creates a really lovely environment. I also love the western arcade, the link between the new concourse and london underground. We put in concrete arches which match the existing brick ones, which is actually the site of the first viaduct built in 1836 at the station. We get people coming in here, coming to lunch now, to meet other people. For a social thing, not even getting on the train. Its just. Its amazing. Thats the word i can only use.

Now, it is time for the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. So mark, what do we have this week . We havejudy, we have judy, in we havejudy, in which rene Renee Zellweger plays judy we havejudy, in which rene Renee Zellweger plastudy garland. We havejoker zellweger plastudy garland. We have joker with zellweger plastudy garland. We havejoker with a performance by Joaquin Phoenix. And good posture, little indie pick directed by dolly wells. So, from bridgetjones tojudy garland. This has been in the works a long time, adapted from the stage play called end of the rainbow. The end ofjudy garlands life, when she was playing at the talk at the town, she is low on money so she has to do the gig so she is not entirely certain she can do it. She is mentally the kids in america but you have to earn the money and the film catches up with her very much like with stan and ollie, that sadly hollywood stars finding themselves working and not ideal situations. When she has to go on stage, because she has had pills and booze problems in the past, she doesnt think her voice is up to it, she doesnt think her voice is up to it, shes not sure that she can do it butjessie buckley is actually insisting that it is time to go on. Whats the matter . I cant. What . What you mean you cant . There is an audience out there waiting to hear you sing. My mouth is dry and it could fall apart. Listen to me. I cant. Youll be fine. Now, on you go. Applause and cheering. The show must go on. It was a very tragic life story, wasnt it . It was, the film does a lot of flashing back to her childhood, onset at the wizard of oz, being bullied. She is not allowed to eat anything. We see a heartbreaking moment with Mickey Rooney where she says, are we dating . And he says, no, werejust pals. The film is fairly on the nose about that sort of thing. It says this came from that and this led to that. It is stagey in its construction and at the heart and it is this performance by Renee Zellweger which i neverforgot that i was watching Renee Zellweger performing, allegedly, it wasnt like watching Joaquin Phoenix in walk the line, orjerry lee lewis played by dennis quaid. But the more i thought about it, perhaps that performance fits the film, there is line the film where she says, im onlyjudy for like an hour and the rest of the time i am somebody else. So, not of the film is about her the role ofjudy, and in a weird way, watching Renee Zellweger giving a performance as judy watching Renee Zellweger giving a performance asjudy kind of fits. The other thing is the film does have a lot of darkness in it and other thing is that joy, have a lot of darkness in it and other thing is thatjoy, that sparkle, thatjoie de vivre that you got from judy garlands performance. There are two characters who are fa ns there are two characters who are fans who absolutely love her and one reason they have been written it is because they stress how important she was to the Lgbt Community but also i found that through them, watching her on stage, you saw in his face thejoy watching her on stage, you saw in his face the joy that you should have been feeling from the performance. It is an interesting film, it is very strong performance, a strange performance but very strong. You mention Joaquin Phoenix, we are going to talk aboutjoker, shrouded in controversy. It opened ata shrouded in controversy. It opened at a festival and gets a standing invention standing ovation, then it is told it there is a backlash and people say it is cruel and nasty. It is thought, some say, it could inspire violence. The story is about a character made byJoaquin Phoenix, arthur fleck, who wants to bea stand up phoenix, arthur fleck, who wants to be a stand up comedian but doesnt understand what anybody else finds funny, is living an embittered life with his mother, he gets beaten up and abused, and he turns. Very much in the style of Something Like death wish, or more something more recently like falling down. Because he is dressed as a clamp, that inspires an uprising. It is a film which is dealing with uprising, it is also made by the director of the hangover movies which never dealt with subtlety of kind is very much. My with subtlety of kind is very much. My question is this, it is an origin isa my question is this, it is an origin is a film aboutjoker, what do people expect it to be . At the centre of it, you have a mesmerising performance byJoaquin Phoenix. The film, its prime frame of reference is Martin Scorsese darkest comedy ever made. De niro plays a guy who kidnapped his way onto television. Here, Robert De Niro plays a character who is a smarmy tv talk show host, so it is reference points, Martin Scorsese, nothing about it is subtle, it is a nasty, dark, difficult film. Is it very violent . No more than any mainstream cinema. In the end, it is a character study, it is a very dyspeptic view of the world. That is what it is meant to be. I came out thinking wow, who thought the guy that made the hangover movies could make that movie. Good posture. A com pletely make that movie. Good posture. A completely different independent picture written and directed by dolly wells. Grace van patten is a young woman who finds herself needing somewhere to live, she ends up needing somewhere to live, she ends up living in a house in which lives a reclusive author played by Emily Mortimer. She has to do chores and make dinner but they hardly see each other but they develop strange relationship by reading and writing each others journal. The tale about to be living in the same house. He was a clip. Here is a clip. What . Lilian, might be something there. Getting don stoned first night in our home, desperate for affirmation, scared of women, feral, chewing gum on the steps, footprints on the wall. Toothpaste all over the mirror. So, you get a sense from that. It is an indie film. What i liked about it was many of the characters in it are quite difficult and annoying. She is called and is referred to as an oath. The writer played by Emily Mortimer is frosty and is referred to as an oath. The writer played by Emily Mortimer is frosty in difficulty, which is playing com pletely difficulty, which is playing completely against type for Emily Mortimer. It raises the question, can you like a film with unlikeable characters . The answer is yes. This is an indie film in which somebody produces a ukulele. I have a rule which is dont produce a ukulele u nless which is dont produce a ukulele unless you do something interesting. And actually it did. I did laugh a lot, it was very funny. Also, it has that thing about it has got a knife offbeat strange off kilter feel to it. The relationship between people who are not likeable and in many ways you could take against them and find them irritating but it doesnt mean you find the film irritating. Mark kermode ukulele will. The to know that real. The best out that the moment . The farewell. It is like enhancing and charming and about the anticipation of death but also it is funny and it is very, very honest about families and this range of relationships between families. Somebody is a terminal diagnosis and they are the only one who doesnt know because their family thinks they should know. Great performance. I went to see it knowing nothing about it other than a title and i was competing uptown. |j about it other than a title and i was competing uptown. I have been to see your best dvd which i absolutely adore. Rocket man. It is so worth seeing twice or even three times to get the most out of it. It is really layered, brilliantly directed by dexter fletcher, who took over the direction of bohemian rhapsody, and i think you said that them. Also, burn it all been played byjamie bell, who currently is also in cinemas playing a tattooed neo nazi skinhead. The range is extraordinary. Its a proper musical. Like tommy. I think it owes a great debt to that film. It is one of my favourite films of the year. You were told that whether you believe Renee Zellweger wasjudy garland but although it is quite different in some ways from elton john, you do believe it is him. |j absolutely do. It is that weird thing about whether when you are watching somebody performing a performer, where do you think you are watching a performer or sing the real person. I think sissy spacek in the coal miners daughter is something where completely lose it. When he was cast i thought it was interesting but five minutes into the film, you think it is fine, everything, the stance on a mixture of the bare chested bravado but also that kind of rabbit in the headlights found ability. It really made eltonjohn headlights found ability. It really made elton john one headlights found ability. It really made eltonjohn one of the most interesting performers of the glam rock either era. And eltonjohn loved it. Who wouldnt hes got good taste. Thank you very much. That is it for this week. Thank you for watching. Goodbye from both of us. Scotland yard is heavily criticised for its investigation into false allegations of a vip paedophile ring in westminster. Carl beech is now serving an 18 year jail sentence for lying after fabricating stories about prominent public figures. False and highly damaging claims were investigated but the independent review uncovered dozens of failings in the way they were dealt with. I am deeply, deeply sorry for the mistakes that were made, and for the ongoing pain that these mistakes have caused. I promise we will do all we can to prevent them happening again in the future. Also on the programme tonight. Two weeks to strike a deal or the Prime Minister will send a letter to the eu, asking for a brexit delay, say government
