marches on in Madrid. That's Sportsday at 6. 30. Now it's time | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
for the Film Re`view. Hello. Welcome to the Film Review. | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
To take us through the cinema releases, Mark Kermode. It's a very | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
good week, Frank, a film inspired by but not based on the character of | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
Frank Sidebottom. We have Next Goal Wins, the football team who tries to | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
drag themselves up from the bottom of the world league. And we have The | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
Wind Rises, which we are assured is the final film from Hayao Miyazaki. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
Frank with Michael Fassbender with a mask. Basically, this is inspired by | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
Jon Ronson's memoir of his time playing key board in Frank | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Sidebottom's band. He used to wear a head and do come dip songs. Jon | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Ronson wrote an article about this. This has been turned into a | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
fictional film and the character played by Domhnall Gleeson wants to | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
be a pop star. Led by his character, called Frank, who has an American | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
accent and is probably closer in character to Daniel Johnson and they | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
ask him to join the band. The next thing he finds himself with the band | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
for a year whiems they rehearse and record their new album. During this | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
whole period never once does Frank, played by Fassbender farction take | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
off the head. `` Michael Fassbender, take off the head. Can I ask you | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
something? Sure. Why do you wear that? You think it's weird? Kind of. | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
Normal faces are weird too, so, the way they're smooth, smooth, smooth | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
and then, bleurgh all bumpy and holes. What are eyes, like a science | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
fiction movie. Don't get me started on lips. Like the edges of a very | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
seriousserious wound. True. Your head is still sort of intimidating. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Underneath that I'm giving you a welcoming smile. Would it help if I | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
said my facial expressions outloud? Well, maybe. Welcoming smile. | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Delighted look. I giggled awe the way through that. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Are you sure it's Michael Fassbender? He's made a lot of play | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
of that. Is it you all the time? Actually I was at the hotel! But | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
he's a physical actor and it combines the fidgety finger thing | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
with the tack tillity of Daniel Johnson. Although it is absurdly | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
comic and has terrific music by the band playing the Music Live, Maggie | :03:01. | :03:12. | |
Gyllenhaal playing It moves into something tragic and very moving. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
The genius of it, by Lenny Abrahamson, a story of these two | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
outsiders, a bit waiting for Goddo, what this has is really inventive | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
musical score, a brilliant job with the score. Great performances not | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
least with Michael Fassbender wearing that head. The mask being | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
liberating rather than being imprisoning. It's a genuinely | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
exceptional and unexpected pop movie. It reminded me in the tone of | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
Todd Haynes' superstar or that strange movie Brothers of the Head. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
It starts as a grinning farce and then moves into something all | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
together more moving, more poignant and tragic. It is a unique film. You | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
will not see anything else like. It I know it's not for everything. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Three women in the office have already said to me, Michael | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Fassbender in a mask, that doesn't do it for them. Maybe not a selling | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
point. It's very brave to take Michael Fassbender and cover his | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
head for the entirety of the film. Lenny Abrahamson is the man for the | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
job. Jon Ronson has done a great job. It's one of my filmles of the | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
year now and I will be surprise today it isn't at the end of the | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
year. Now Next Goal Wins. The American Samoa team lost 31`0 to | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Australia. They were labelled the world's worst football team. This is | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
a documentary in which they get in a coach to get them off the bottom | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
when it comes to the World Cup qualifiers. It's a really moving | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
piece of work. I don't care about football. But watching this, for the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
first time ever, I punched the air when the goal were scored. The team | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
are inspirational. The real man of the match is this transgender | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
character, who is a really wins the trust and the respect of Thomas | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Rongen, who is the coach, who has all this dark stuff in his | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
background, he's overcoming personal tragedy. The whole thing about Next | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Goal Wins, it's about OK, it doesn't matter who scores the most goals, | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
it's a film about triumph over adversity with people who are really | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
decent, really interesting and really interesting in playing a | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
sport for the best possible motive, which is to do better at it. If this | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
doesn't win you over, you are hard hearted indeed. The Wind Rises. The | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
last film apparently from Hayao Miyazaki, that he says he's | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
retiring. Though he has said that br. It's a fictional film, partly | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
inspired by the life of a plane designer in. His dreams, as a young | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
boy, he meets the Italian plane designer and dreams of flying, | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
flying is his ultimate ambition. Here's a clip. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Which world will you choose? I just want to create beautiful aeroplanes. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Like that? Very graceful. I have a long way to | :06:03. | :06:25. | |
go. I don't even have an engine or cockpit yet. | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
Bravo. A beautiful dream. It is actually dream`like. It is. Zbli was | :06:36. | :06:47. | |
drifting off there. That is a dream sequence. The film mixes fact and | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
fantasy. It is a film about the love of a single ambition, which he says | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
dreaming for something too beautiful is too much. It is a love story, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
which keeps it grounded. The animation is extraordinary. It's a | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
more grown up film than a lot of Miyazaki's work. He always makes | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
films with extraordinary age appeal. In this case, this is more grown up. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
It feels like a final statement. There's been controversy in Japan | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
about whether or not it deals with the issue of making planes, which | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
were then used for warfare, but there's a moment in it, when a | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
character says rather a world with pyramids than one which doesn't. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
It's not Meyer's best work, but it's very poignant. More grown up. You | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
can see, the animation is breath taking. Looks joyous. It is also | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
tragic. Pick of the week, I was checking out some facts about this, | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Blue Ruin. It was funded by a kickstarter target of $38,000. That | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
shows what you can do with not a lot of money. It's an extraordinary use | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
of that money. More and more people are make movies for little budget. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
That re`lies on great script, great performances. Blue Ruin has all of | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
those. It's like an anti`revenge movie. It has a powerful performance | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
by Macon Blair in the central role. A terrific watch. Who prefer Michael | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Fassbender without a fask on `` mask on, your DVD of the week is 12 Years | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
a Slave. Michael Fassbender's character is the gnattiest character | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
in the `` gnattiest character in the nastiest character in the film. | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Steve McQueen turns out to be a great story teller. This is an | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
important film. You need to see. It You do indeed. Mark, thanks very | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
much. A quick reminder, you will find more film news and reviews from | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
Mark on his BBC blog: That's it for this week, thank you for watching. | :08:58. | :08:58. | |
Goodbye. It's a beautiful evening out there, | :08:59. | :09:17. | |
if only it would stay that way. By dawn it will be wet and windy for | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
most. The rain | :09:21. | :09:22. |
