i love the grand budapest hotel. and who could not love that? i love grand budapest hotel. he has extraordinary filmography, you watch a couple seconds of the film you know you're watching a wes anderson film. this is set in the fictional town which chronicles the last edition of the the french dispatch. the publisher has just died. it's in the mould of the new yorker. as an incredible cast with frances mcdormand becoming involved with timothee chalamet�*s young radical. she's writing about the student uprisings. the assignment also involves reading, proofing and improving his manifesto. here's clip. i'm naked, mrs krementz. i can see that. why are you crying? teargas. also, i suppose i'm sad. please turn away, i feel shy about my new muscles. go tell your parents you're home, they're worried. . i'm expected back on the barricades. i didn't see any barricades. well, we're still constructing them. ah. — what are you writing? a manifesto. i told them not to invite paul, by the way. maybe you are sad, but you don't seem lonely to me. exactly! i saw you at the protest on top of a bookcase taking notes. is there a story in us? for the people of kansas? maybe. now, you laughed twice during that clip. it's a comedy and it's meant to be funny, you can see that it is very wes anderson. you arejumping ahead of me. it is funny. that clip is in black—and—white, it flows between black—and—white, colour, 4x3, widescreen, between live—action. and it breaks into animation. the whole thing plays out in very wes anderson fashion like a metronomic music box. everything is choreographed to within an inch of its life. if i have a reservation about it, and i do, it's that sometimes the film can seem a little bit like... the only description that works for me is imagine a box of fondant fancies, you open them, they look absolutely fabulous but after you've eaten three of them, that's enough. and there's still another three sections of the film to go. i suspect — you're giving me the evil eye now — it is a very, very wes anderson film. it is the most wes anderson film i think he �*s ever made. wes anderson fans will love it, i needed a bit more of a way in. i needed a little bit more of engagement. it's very funny, very full, very quirky. itjust felt a little bit impenetrable but i think a second viewing would change that. i'm not entirely sure i have the patience for it. i will come with you. 0k. we'll do that and then i will make you agree with me. i like the fact the synopsis says it's a love letter to journalists, and franklyjournalists need a little bit of that. i think that's one of the reasons why it's getting such good reviews because those reviews are written journalists. you cynic! dune, have you read dune? no, of course i haven't! this is the unfilmable science fiction novel. david lynch did it, not very well. this is part one. they've broken the story into two. we don't know whether there is going to be a part two. it is filmed by denis villeneuve. timoth e chalamet in his second—starring role of the week and he is perfectly fine. i'm not a huge fan but he's perfectly fine in the central role. this is what i like about this, it looks fabulous. it has a real sense of awe and spectacle to it. the giant worms of the novel, they're in the david lynch film, huge worms actually are brought to the screen in a rather brilliant and awe—inspiring way. the whole thing makes sense which is astonishing because the david lynch version makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. that's david lynch though, a bit. i think david lynch tried to make dune make sense and he discovered what denis villeneuve discovered, wwhich is you cannot do the book in one film, you have to break it in two. i went into this feeling very sceptical about it because dune has floored so many film makers in the past, i think this is pretty spectacular and even if you haven't read the book, you would still find very much to enjoy. and the giant worms are really impressive. are they friendly giant worms? no, and they are really giant. i didn't think they would be. they are quite big, these worms. now, the next one. dear evan hansen. now, this is gone from the stage of the screen. yes, and it hasn't been well received on screen but well received on stage. the story is a young socially awkward high school boy told by his therapist to write letters to himself. here's a scene with ben platt who starred in the original stage production and julianne moore as his mother. so you just didn't eat last night? i wasn't hungry. you're a senior in high school, you need to be able to order dinner for yourself. you can do it all online, you don't have to talk to anybody? 0k, well, that's not true, actually, you know, because the credit cardi has expired so you have to meet |the delivery person at the door. | you know, you have to pay them with cash at the door, _ you have to greet them. you know, you have to figure out the right, the right... _ the proper greeting. 0k. this is what you're supposed to be working on, sweetheart. with dr sherman. have you been doing those letters he wants you to do? dear evan hansen. i definitely... i've been trying to. those letters are important, honey. you have to keep working. you can't go back to where you were last year, right? you have an appointment this afternoon. i'm working till six, so you are going to have to take the bus. hey. i thought you could go around and ask all the other kids to sign your cast. perfect icebreaker, right? so the plot is one of the letters he writes to himself ends up in the pocket of somebody else at school who dies. it is then taken that it was a letter written to evan hansen, and they were friends and that he plays along with this because initially he does it to be kind to the parents but when he discovers it brings them social acceptability which he didn't have before. it's been criticised for two things, first that the plot works on stage and not so much on screen. i agree with that, there's some things that big stage productions, big bold gestures, on screen not so much. others have said that ben platt, who is in his 20s, is too old to be playing a high school kid, to which all i can say is, 0k, greece. everyone in greece is, you know, approaching bus pass age. dean was in his well into his 20s at that point. if we start not liking teenage high school movies because the people in them look too old, you are going to have to wipe out most of those movies. i haven't seen the stage show, i know people that have seen it prefer it, i thought the plot was contrived and it cried out for you to weep. but i actually rather liked and it did move me, and i did cry because i... you know, it worked. you don't admit that very often. oh, i love crying in the cinemas. it's of my favourite things to do. do you? absolutely. when i take you to see french dispatch, don't cry. no, i won't cry because it's a wes anderson film, it's not there to make you cry, it's there to make you go, "hm." i won't have you making those noises sitting next to me. now, best out, venom: let there be carnage. would it surprise you to here this is not on my list? here's the thing, it wasn't on mine. i didn't like the first venom, this is the second event, which is so much more fun than it had any right to be. tom hardy has two faces, one of them is the alien parasite living inside him. it's directed by andy serkis, who really knows how to special effects on the one hand and performances on the other. i laughed so many times, so much more in this than i have in many alleged comedies. i did not go into this thinking it's going to be really good fun, and it was a roller coaster ride. it is alien meets all of me. and i think that's a movie pitch that weirdly works under the tutelage of andy serkis, who is just great. is it meant to make you laugh? yes, it's an action comedy. i wasn't laughing at it i was laughing with it. i just didn't know... the title doesn't really lead you to believe it's a comedy. it's a cartoon character with a lot of humour. and a parasitic alien? which let's face it is always funny. finally, best dvd, the sparks brothers. this is the entire discography, is it? it's a documentary, were you a sparks fan? i did rather like them, yeah. even a sparks fan, i'm a sparks fan, loads of stuff i didn't know. stuff about the film projects they worked on, they ended up opening at the cannes film festival. it goes through every single record that they made and shows how they reinvented themselves all the way through. it is directed by edgar wright who made baby driver and his new movie is coming out next week. it's got interviews, animation, it's gotjokes, it has slapstick. it's over two hours long and itjust flew by for me. some people think it's for sparks fans only but i think this is the kind of doc, if you didn't love sparks before you would watch this, you would out and want to buy all of their albums. you can pause for breath now. that was very, very, very insightful. you know, try something new. and i should try dune, maybe. anyway, that's it for this week. lots to see, isn't there? thanks to mark. thank you. thanks for watching. bye—bye. the weather front which brought wet weather to scotland and northern ireland in the night will be fragmenting as it continues to journey eastwards across england and wales today, eventually reaching the south—east after dark. elsewhere, sunshine, showers, some may be heavy and thundery. it will be fairly mild, despite the breeze, temperatures 15 or 16 celsius. sunday night, it stays breezy, clear spells, showers across northern and western areas, the heavily one, generallyjia'e across eastern areas. freshman scotland and northern ireland. has been made through the new week, lies in the south, southern airways will hold onto dry and brighter weather, always a bit more unsettled across the north. see you later. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. investigations into a fatal shooting on the set of an alec baldwin movie. the film director injured in the incident speaks out for the first time. italy's former interior minister, matteo salvini, goes on trial, charged with kidnapping — after refusing to allow a migrant rescue boat, to dock two years ago. covid infections in the uk rise — as a prominent government adviser says he's fearful about another "lockdown christmas." and greta thunberg — the high profile environmental activist — talks to the bbc — about where she thinks world leaders are failing on tackling climate change. instead of trying to find solutions, real solutions that
