Well have all the latest sports news in around 15 minutes� time, but first on bbc news, its the film review. Hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. Im filling in for mark kermode to review this weeks releases. The american actress aubrey plaza usually picks really interesting indie films. I loved safety not guaranteed and ingrid goes west. Her latest movie might be her most fascinating yet. Youre so lucky. What do you meant . Youve got a guy who cooks. I cant cook. Like at all. Like anything . Can you cook eggs . I can scramble an egg, maybe. What about a hamburger . Have you ever cooked a hamburger . Baked a potato . Uh uh. You never baked a potato . Black bear begins as a biting relationships drama and transforms into something much more complex. Its split into two parts, both set in a remote lake house and featuring three terrific lead actors aubrey plaza, sarah gadon, and christopher abbott. Orfour actors if you include a real black bear. Youre really hard to read. Yeah, you know what . I get that all the time. Part one, called the bear in the road, is an intense triple hander in which plazas Character Allison arrives to spend the night with a musician, gabe, and his pregnant partner, blair. The more the alcohol flows, the more the trios debates about modern life and feminism turn into full blown arguments, with allison apparently taking sides for sport. Its not i cant stand that you have thoughts about the world, its that i cant stand the thoughts about the world that you have. Its a darkly funny and uncomfortably credible depiction of a bickering couple. Writer director Lawrence Michael levine has a real handle on the way that partners can remember things differently and contradict each other in public. In part two, called the bear by the boathouse, The Story Becomes A Film Shoot featuring the same actors in slightly different roles. Whenever youre ready. Abbott is now a controlling director who plays mind games with actress allison, and its incredibly stressful to watch him torture her. Yet, as the shoot descends into near chaos, black bear is bitterly, brilliantly funny, offering convincing insights into the film making process. You are in love with her. You are. I know it. This explores and critiques the extremes that creative people can go to for their art and while the first part shows us what we already knew that plaza is great at sarcastic, Deadpan Comedy The Second Part demonstrates her talent as a serious dramatic actress. Its on digital now. Next up, a documentary about the man who gave star wars the green light and who suggested that the character of ripley in alien should be a woman. Hes the most influential Movie Executive youve never heard of. During his career, hes been an agent, a producer, an executive, and a studio head. With150 Academy Awards nominations and 50 Academy Award wins, hes one of the most prominent executives in the history of hollywood. Not that any of this impressed me much growing up. Just as my dad spent years trying to escape the shadow of his own illustrious father, i tried everything i could to do the same. Laddie, the man behind the movies, tells the story of the hollywood tells The Story Of Hollywood producer alan lader, known as laddie. Hes the Son Of Film Star alan ladd, and was a Big Short At Fox in the seventies before founding The Ladd Company in the eighties. During his career, lader has worked on 50 oscar winners, and his story is told here by his daughter, amanda ladd jones. Her goal is to understand more about the job that kept him away from her as a child. I think he really liked it. She speaks to his collaborators, including sigourney weaver, george lucas, morgan freeman, ron howard, and ben affleck. He said, i think youre really talented and i really loved american graffiti, and what else do you have . So i said, lets do it. I particularly enjoyed hearing from director ridley scott, who explains how laddie helped make alien, blade runner and Thelma And Louise a reality. Many women in the industry also explain how he gave them a chance when other studios wouldnt. At one point, hes described as gender blind. Why do all roles have to be made for men . Laddie himself appears much less comfortable talking about his career, perhaps unaccustomed to being in the spotlight, and, maybe inevitably, certain areas are skimmed over by his director daughter. At times, this feels like a premature eulogy, but its still a tribute to an impressive career, Loaded With Film Trivia and reminders of classics youll want to rewatch immediately. It is on Digitalfrom Monday the 26th of april. Now to a music doc, and the brilliantly named sisters with transistors. Technology is a tremendous liberator. It blows up power structures. Women were naturally drawn to Electronic Music. You didnt have to be accepted by any of the male dominated resources the radio stations, the record companies, the concert hall venues. Directed by lisa rovner and narrated by laurie anderson, its a riveting film about the Electronic Music pioneers you may never have heard of, perhaps because theyre all women. I was enthralled by the black and white footage of clara rock moore, a glamorous lithuanian violinist who amazed the world as a theremin soloist in the 20s. Theres also terrific Archive Material of daphne oram, bebe barron, pauline oliveros, and the late delia derbyshire, who arranged the doctor who theme tune in � 63. To make them of value for a musical piece, we have to shape them and mould them. This has plenty to say about how creative people are shaped by world events. Derbyshire describes being inspired by the abstract sound of air raid sirens. The history of women has been a story of silence. Sisters with transistors concludes with a compelling message about the male bias in Music History and demands a change in the way that students are taught. If you are after a fascinating Alternative History of Electronic Music, rent this and turn up the sound. Its in virtual cinemas now. Go to modernfilms. Com. Onto a film with absolutely no women in it, the oak room. A Concept Thriller Set in a bar in snowy canada. Im cleaning up the place. Guess who walks through the door . Out of the blue, he comes in here acting like a big shot. Based on peter genoway� s play, it stars breaking bads rj mitte as a lone late night punter, steve, whos clearly got history with the bartender, paul, played by peter outerbridge. Ive got Something Better than cash. Ive got a story. With time to kill, the pair trade stories, and so the Action Flashes to a Story Within A story. Steve ends up telling a mysterious tale about a guy walking into a bar in eerily similar circumstances to the one theyre in. As sure as im sitting here right now, im getting this bad, well, as sure as im sitting here right now, im getting this bad, bad vibe from this guy. The performances are variable. Some actors go for a more heightened comic tone than others. But i enjoyed the way that explores the art of storytelling, the dark sense of humour, and the Twilight Zone vibe. Its on Digitalfrom Monday, april the 26. When i was a kid, teenagers would write their romantic fantasies in their diaries, but Young Suzanne lindon has turned hers into a feature that was selected by the cannes film festival. She writes, directs and stars in Spring Blossom as suzanne, a 16 year old schoolgirl in paris who is monumentally bored. It is when she spots 35 year old actor raphael, she is smitten, and a hesitant romance begins during his time performing at a local theatre. This is a convincing portrait of a possibly inappropriate erotic obsession. I was torn between viewing it as a concerned adult and reminiscing about my own teenage crushes. Its certainly refreshing to have the story shown entirely from the Point Of View of the girl. Lindon was actually 15 when she wrote this, so it feels very authentic. Her performance is pleasingly quirky and her direction is tremendously assured. This captures the awkwardness of young romance and indulges in playful stylistic flourishes. It could almost be the work of a young, french miranda july, with an emphasis on the french. Suzannes on screen parents are terribly cosmopolitan and matter of fact about sexual matters. Its no surprise to learn that shes the daughter of actors, Sandrine Kiberlain and vincent lindon. Spring blossom is on Curzon Home Cinema now and it will be in cinemas when they open on may the 17th. Finally, a tribute to one of the worlds most famous fashion designers, pierre cardin. In the 60s, he decided that its ok to use a japanese person, its ok to use a person that looked like me with brown skin. What he was selling was not a colour of skin. The documentary House Of Cardin is a pacey, colourful insight into the work of cardin. He was actually born in italy but moved to paris in 1916. After working for christian dior, he launched the eponymous brand and didnt stop at the famous bubble dress, designing everything from glasses to aeroplanes. In archive interviews, the young cardin comes off as pretty pleased with himself. But hes rather endearing in his old age. This was filmed before he died last year at the age of 98. It is most remarkable for its eye popping footage of Fashion Shows that were way ahead of their time. Some of his futuristic designs look fabulously outrageous even now. It really is kind of amazing. This is an enjoyable portrait of a real self starter, with no shortage of Flamboyant Fashionistas to regale us with colourful tales. Famous faces include naomi campbell, sharon stone, and, most surprisingly, alice cooper, who tells an amusing story involving bianca jagger, Catherine Deneuve and a broom cupboard. House of cardin is on digital from the 26th of april. Thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith. Mark kermode will be back next week. Meantime, stay safe. You really dont need to prove anything to me. I prefer weak, sickly men. Now on bbc news its time for sportsday. Hello and welcome to sportsday. Its three in a row for england who win this years womens six nations. Chelsea win to keep their Champions League hopes alive as liverpool falter again. And back in the premier League Watford promoted at the first time of asking. Hello, and welcome to sportsday. Good evening. Plenty to get though. We start though with englands success in this years womens six nations, their Third Straight title coming after a hard fought 10 6 victory over france at the twickenham stoop. The two leading sides in europe topping their groups in a shortened tournament this year to reach todays final. Craig templeton reports. A different format for the womens six nations this year, but it was the same old foes fighting for the title. England and france, winner takes all, crunch time. In truth, the first half was more about the crunch with both sides of the line on defensive solidarity rather than attacking failure. When england did get the chance to put some points on the role commerce something
