That's at 6:30pm tonight. Hello and welcome to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
cinema releases is Mark Kermode. We've got Tale Of Tales starring | :00:22. | :00:38. | |
Salma Hayek among others, then we got The Conjuring two, the sequel to | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
the hit horror film. This time, it takes place in Enfield in England. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Then we got The Violators, a gritty, British flick. From Enfield to | :00:49. | :01:00. | |
Birkenhead. Tale Of Tales is from Matteo Garrone. This is his first | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
English-language film although it does star and international cast. It | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
is based on 17th-century fairy tales which inspired the likes of Hans | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Christian Andersen so you might recognise some of the themes in it. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
There are three different stories told in tandem. Salma Hayek must | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
heed the heart of a sea serpent to errant the heart of a child she | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
claims, then he lusty king who was to bed every whim and in the | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
obsessed with his pet the but also obsessed with his pet the but also | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
marrying off his daughter. -- flea. Have you found something to please | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
you? They are also beautiful. Why did you send me them? You want to | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
look beautiful on your wedding day. So I am to be married? Of course. | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
You were right, Violet. This time we found you a husband. I understand | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
you are bored living with us at the you are bored living with us at the | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
castle and this way you can venture forth and discover new places. It's | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
what you want. Who will my husband be, father? Well, he will be braver | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
than the most valiant knight and wiser than our own court doctor. | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
Thank you. What is his name? Not even I know his name yet. How can | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
that be? Do you not know him? As an avid reader, you know that the | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
husband of a princess can only be discovered through the tournament. | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
What if I don't love him? You will love him, Violet. You will. That's | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
weird! You haven't seen anything yet! There's a lot of weirdness in | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
this film. There is weird body horror which we can show you here, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
but Toby Jones brings a lot of levity and humour. He is such a | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
great comic actor and it is a strange relationship he has with his | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
daughter and she learns very much that happy endings aren't | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
inevitable. This is not a fairy tale you want to take your children to. | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
Toby Jones is great fun and Vincent Cassel is very amusing. This story | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
was beautiful, Salma Hayek eats the heart of a sea serpent. It wasn't | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
very gripping. This is a long film and a bit slow in parts. When it's | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
good, it's great, but you have to be in it for the long haul. I'm | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
surprised this is the director of Gomorrah which is about the Mafia, a | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
gritty, realist film. You can smell the streets of Naples in that film. | :03:59. | :04:12. | |
Completely different. I saw it in Cannes last year. It's mainly filmed | :04:13. | :04:13. | |
in Italy and I think it is what in Italy and I think it is what | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
going through for the top spots. It also reminds us that faded hills, | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm are not really think | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
you want to share with children. Some of them are very scary. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Particularly the last one, Shirley Henderson comes in as one of the old | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
ladies that Vincent Cassel's King ladies that Vincent Cassel's King | :04:34. | :04:46. | |
falls far. -- for. There is a horror to their desire to appear young. The | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
Conjuring two. This was a big hit a couple of years ago in the states | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
and I'm glad they brought the action over to the UK because it is an | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
American series. They follow the same couple, Ed and Lorraine. These | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
were real-life paranormal investigators and the idea is that | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
they did actually come over to Enfield in 1977 to investigate the | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
alleged hauntings which we've heard about recently, there was a | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
television series about it. The young adult Janet claimed that she | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
was possessed -- young girl. There was a photo of her levitating or | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
jumping up and down on the bed. My problem with this is because it is | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
based on a true story which was labelled a hoax and the address that | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
in the film, it takes away from what could have been a very interesting, | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
claustrophobic haunted house film where you get to suspend your | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
disbelief. It's an interesting concept and you can see why The | :05:55. | :06:08. | |
Conjuring it will. -- did well. Is it not too late, after the Omen? | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
That is something retro about it but That is something retro about it but | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
it has that feel to it. I like it because I'm not a fan of torture | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
movies or social media horror movies and it has a nice, vintage appeal | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
and it looks fantastic. There are jumps gears and a sense of | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
claustrophobia but it jumps away from the action in Enfield too | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
often. There is also a sub John of horror films like Babadook when | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
you're never sure who is head the horror is taking part in. This feels | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
more generic. The Violators, this is the first film she has directed. | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
Lauren McQueen plays a 15-year-old girl who lives in a Birkenhead | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
council estate. Because of her circumstances and her family being | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
in prison, she has to bring up our brothers and she encounters and | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
older girl who wants to be friendly with her. She invites her over and a | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
bit of a mystery evolves as to what is going on with this girl. Let's | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
have a look at the clip. What did they exclude you for? What makes you | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
been something bad. One step away been something bad. One step away | :07:36. | :07:45. | |
from an open prison. You're not exactly a convent girl, are you? I'm | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
not being funny, but I've got somewhere I need to be. So what | :07:52. | :08:08. | |
about you? I've got my A-levels in a few weeks. I'm studying English, | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
Greek, chemistry and physics and politics. What can you do with that? | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
Who knows? My dad is telling everyone I'm a dead cert for | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
Cambridge. You can see it's about class. It's about these two girls | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
from different worlds thrown together and it tells the story of | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
the young girls' friendship with an older man, a local pawnbroker who is | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
offering protection and help, but at what cost? These are stories play | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
out and you're following her very closely. It's not a cheerful watch. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
There are issues of abuse, but I think it is well done. It is | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
possibly over ambitious because it tries to go further still approach | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
to hard at the end and I just like it when it's doing kitchen-sink | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
realism. The writer and director, is this based on one of her novels? No, | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
it's an original story but it has a lot in common with her novels about | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
emerging sexuality and strong young women. It's a low-budget British | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
film but it's great to see a new female director in Britain, looking | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
at working-class young girls who are struggling with sexuality. Your Best | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
of the week is the Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Something fun at the cinema if you want a laugh. I was impressed with | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
the comedic abilities. It is a different 1977 than The Conjuring | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
too-mac! This is the pornography scene in Los Angeles where a private | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
investigator tries to solve the case. It's not about the case, it's | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
about the action and the comedy and about the action and the comedy and | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
camaraderie between these two guys. Inherent vice is more like it. It's | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
completely incomprehensible but that's because the entire cast of | :10:11. | :10:21. | |
characters are on dope. The little sister is a Japanese manga book. | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
They grow up together and invite their half-sister to live with them | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
and it is veering towards sentimental and melodramatic but it | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
is a lovely story. It is a bit brighter than Chekhov. Almost | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
anything is brighter later than Chekhov! | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
We've had a real mix of weather types once again today. There has | :10:49. | :11:14. | |
been some sunshine, some hefty showers but the sun was breaking | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
through the clouds in Belfast in | :11:17. | :11:17. |
