Welcome to The Film Review on BBC News. What do we have? We spread | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
around the world. This is Neil Jordan's latest wealth into deep | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
vampire genre, Byzantium. We are off to South America. We go to | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
Argentina for a tale of two Viggo Mortensen, playing with twin | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
brothers. Finally, we're back in Britain for | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
a tale of corrupt cops played by brothers, Paul Bettany and Stephen | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
Graham up in a Brad James Girling. -- Blood. This was filmed in | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
Hastings? Spooky turn. The British seaside it is a sort of location | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
deep film director has films before. Mona Lisa had that British seaside | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
element in the 80s. It reminded me quite a lot of that film which was | :01:32. | :01:41. | |
one of my favourite in that era. It is a vampire movie. Gemma Arterton | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
plays a mother vampire with her daughter, or Saoirse Ronan. They | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
are quite close in age, this mother and daughter. They are up to 100 | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
years old, at least. They are looking very good. They are living | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
in a bordello called the Byzantium. Saoirse Ronan is going to school, | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
trying to learn how to be a vampire. She writes essays to head teacher | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
:02:22. | :02:26. | ||
about her vampire identity. This is worrying to the teacher. She caused | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
the mother to see what is going on. I was hoping to arrange a much more | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
official meeting. What is the problem? Eleanor wrote her life | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
story. She is quite insistent that it is true. I do not expected to be | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
flattered by tears. She described here as a sort of vampire. She has | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
got a great imagination. I hope she gets top marks. Who else has read | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
:03:08. | :03:09. | ||
it? You have sole care of her, don't you? I am doing just fine. | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
am a big Neil Jordan fran. I loved Mona Lisa. He did Interview With A | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
Vampire. Vampire movies, there are so many. What does this have? | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
problem is I do not know the rules anymore. It used to be crosses and | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
garlic and sunlight. Now the rules have changed. Every film has the | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
new rules. I was not quite sure what the rules were in this one. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
The two leaves, Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan are terrific together. | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
It is sexy, kind of wild. It has the visual that Neil Jordan is | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
known for. Those things are very striking. I am not sure what they | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
meant. There is a flashback structure where Jonny Lee Miller | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
plays old swashbucklers. He first turned Gemma Arterton into a | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
Corazon and sentenced her to a life of being a vampire. -- courtesan. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
It does not make sense. It takes away from what is rather a good | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
:04:27. | :04:33. | ||
movie. It is different. Everybody Has A Plan they do, apparently. | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
Viggo Mortensen's plan is to take the place of his twin brother. He | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
plays a board doctor in Buenos Aires. He gets a visit from his | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
brother, who is caught up in some shady business in the delta where | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
:04:59. | :05:00. | ||
they grew up in the jungle. He decides to take Pedro's place. It | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
gives Viggo Mortensen a chance to play brothers and to show what the | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
fact he can speak very good Spanish. He was born in Argentina so he | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
speaks the dialect of the region. Everyone has a twin? I am resistant | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
to twin the movies. It is one of the West dings and ageing can save. | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
-- worst thing as an agent can save. This is a boring tour in. That is | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
the worst one? There is a lot of atmosphere. The Ripper is stagnant, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
but it mirrors the plot. It is quite bogged down. Viggo Mortensen | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
is very handsome but he is prone to gazing into a mirror a lot. He | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
realises he is becoming his twin. It gets bogged down, unfortunately. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Might give that one a miss. Brad James Girling is also about | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
siblings. -- bladder back. We have siblings played by Paul Bettany and | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
Stephen Graham. I did not know on what planet these two could ever be | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
brothers. One is from Liverpool and the other is from London. By no | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
stretch of the imagination can be his brothers beat Madden brothers, | :06:27. | :06:36. | |
except in this cop thriller. -- beat blood brothers. Stephen Graham | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
does a London accent in tears. They played cop brothers to have been | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
mired in corruption because they covered up a murder. Their so | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
mismatched as siblings. They have to get Paul Bettany to stand low on | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
:07:00. | :07:28. | ||
the stairs. Good morning. D he mean? -- do you hear me? Joe Mercer | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
as she wants to get married. are getting married? Gemma has | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Hi, I'm Claudia-Liza, live with your late night check on the | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
Saturday sport. finally given a fighting you off. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Ruler of the World was on top of the world at Epsom. The horse, | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
:07:54. | :07:54. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds | :07:54. | :08:40. | |
He concede the grandeur of the City Hall. -- you can see. It is a kind | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
of Greek tragedy. There are a lot of ideas but it is hampered by this | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
mismatched brothers. Your best of the week is Beware of Mr Baker. I | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
would like to see this but I did not want to meet Ginger Baker. | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
is not a great human being. The man who made the documentary, at the | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
sound of the mid-, at Ginger Baker acquits him by smashing a walking | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
stick straight into his face for inquiring about him. It is still a | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
very fine and music documentary. He is a brilliant drummer who played | :09:18. | :09:28. | |
:09:28. | :09:29. | ||
with Cream and Fela Kuti. Quite extraordinary. It was an | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
extraordinary fusion, rock drummer. I think he might be Animal from the | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
Muppets. I think he is based on Ginger Baker. I thought it was a | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
real-life the Spinal tap. It is also about the sadness of the man | :09:47. | :09:51. |
