Grand Prix. All that and more at 6. 30pm. Now, it's time for the Film | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Review. Hello and welcome. To take us | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
through this week's releases, Mark Kerr mode. What have we got? Captain | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Amercia ` The Winter Soldier, which is the new film in the on`going | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
franchise from Marvel and 20 Feet From Stardom, which shines the | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
spotlight on backing singers. And we have The Past, the new movie from | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
The Winter Soldier, saving the The Winter Soldier, saving the | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
world. The story, he was deep frozen and awakened by Austin Powers and | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
comes to the terms with the new world, the internet and all that | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
stuff. What happens in this film is he starts to question the authority | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
to which he's arguable. Shield and the Government are in league to set | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
this sky`bound surveillance system which will enable them to predict | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
crimes and wipe them out before they happen. As he says, that's not | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
freedom, that's fear. And the way you know there's something | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
particularly dodgy is at the top of the tree is Robert red Ford playing | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
against type as a corporate suit. Here's a clip. Busy in there? | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
Nothing that some marks can fix. I'm here to ask a favour. I want you to | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
call for a vote. The project has to be delayed. It's not a favour, that | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
is a subcommittee favour? Probably nothing. I just need time to make | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
sure it's nothing. Fine. But you got to get iron man to stop by my | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
niece's birthday party. Thank you Sir. Not just a fly`by. He's got to | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
mingle. That's how it works? You get them to come for favours? Yeah. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
That's the smarter end of the movie and red Ford is well `` Redford is | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
well cast, and that runs throughout the film. The problem with it is | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
that although that's going on in the background, most of the movie is | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
overrun by the running, jumping, shooting and blowing things up | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
action sequences, which after a while start to feel out of place | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
with the subject. What I wanted was more of the character development. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
There are too many characters. There are too many individuals that never | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
are tied up. None of the characters develop. We get the Black Widow and | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
there are kicks and backflips and we get a whole range of different | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
characters meeting in various circumstances, but almost always | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
interspersed with overextended action sequences. When you have seen | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
what Joss can do, and you get all the sequences and all the stuff you | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
want from this, but you also get solid character development and you | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
care about them. In this it's a problem and `` The target audience | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
perhaps wants a lot more of people flying around and getting shot at? | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
There's no doubt it will take a whole bunch of money. It's a shame | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
since test set up the 1970s paranoia, we are the enany and since | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
that's set up early on, you have higher expectations. This is 21st | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
century now. Somebody is watching us. It's very modern. As you have | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
seen, it's got great reviews. People have been giving it four and five | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
stars. It's fine. It's too long and runny and jumpy and shooty. 20 Feet | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
From Stardom. Backing singers. It's a warm documentary about backing | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
singers and it investigates the idea that that 20 feeT from the front of | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
the stage can be unbridgeable. You have Donald Love performing the | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
vocal performances and worderful footage from ieBG and Tina Turner | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
and you have `` Ike and Tina Turner and you have Stevie Wonder and | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
people talking about how it's sometimes really hard for somebody | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
who is very talented, better singers than they are to make that progress | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
to being a star. The fit many is about being one removed from | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
stardom, but being musically adept. A lot of the time the interviews and | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
conversation spills over into song and people break naturally into | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
song. I saw it in a packed cinema and the audience loved it. They | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
laughed at all the jokes and tapped their feet along with all the songs. | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
A really great feeling. There is no bitterness, because when you see it | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
Dion Warwick or Aretha Flanklin. And they talk about it? The documentary | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
talks about it, the fact that you're talks about it, the fact that you're | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
more talented mean you are more famous and the answer is no. There | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
is talent and there is something else, which is to do with perhaps | :05:19. | :05:32. | |
drive, perhaps ego and it's interesting hearing like Bruce | :05:33. | :05:32. | |
Springsteen saying they don't have the ego. My only criticism of it | :05:33. | :05:33. | |
this ` it beats the act of killing this ` it beats the act of | :05:34. | :05:33. | |
to the best documentary Oscar and to the best documentary Oscar and | :05:34. | :05:33. | |
that's a mistake. Act of killing is an extraordinary piece of work. It's | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
good enough and warm hearted enough to forget and forgive. Now The Past. | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
You are a big Asghar Farhadi fan. What is interesting here is you have | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
at the centre Berenice Bejo. She is a woman in a state of flux in Paris. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
She is just coming to the end of one mare reasonabling and separated `` | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
marriage and separated from her husband. She's living with a new | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
lover and dealing with various situations and a situation which is | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
nothing, if not fractious. Here's a clip. | :06:13. | :07:21. | |
This is tough stuff? It's great. Berenice Bejo is terrific. We saw | :07:22. | :07:32. | |
her in the Artist. It's a rigorous physicality. This is people caught | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
between one marriage and another and what has happened is she hasn't | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
quite separated from her husband, but she has now a new lover and he | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
is married to a woman who in a coma and her coma becomes a problem in | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
the film. Asghar Farhadi has it's a state of between life add and death. | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
It's between sing `` life and death. It's between sing laRT and couple | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
dom. It's gripping and sometimes it plays out like a thriller and at at | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
centre is the performance from Berenice Bejo. She is just dynamite. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
Anybody who has been fixing their plumbing or painting their house | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
they're in trouble. It's a sign of mental dislocation. When her | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
husband, soon to be ex`husband arrives, she is redecorating and | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
trying to cover up the memory but it's not succeeding. He manages to | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
get paint all over his clothes. You can read as much into it as you want | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
or see it just as a very, very convincing domestic drama. It's | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
extraordinary seeing Asghar Farhadi working in this genre. Everything | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
rings true. He seems to me to be a genuinely international filmmaker. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
With a great eye for the foreign? He's a foreigner in France? Yes. | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
This is not his language that he's working in and does it well. All the | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
actors benefit from rehearsal processes. It's based in theatre. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
You should see it. Terrific. Now Under the Skin, but my friends | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
really love this or hate it. Can't understand what you're on about. | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
Divisive. Scarlett Joe Hanson is an alien. And I think it's one of those | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
things that it doesn't work entirely, but the level of ambition | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
is so high and the sing Lafferty of vision is not `` sing laRT of vision | :09:32. | :09:43. | |
is not playing to everyone. I love to see a film that is singular and | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
ambitious. For those who have not seen Philomena, it's a great watch. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
It takes certain liberties with the true story, but they work. The idea | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
of turning this journey into a road trip, it works and it's got a great | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
script. Very, very likeable central performances. Coogan and Dench. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
Chalk and cheese? They are. Very good thing about it, it's funny and | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
serious and I think it's very moving. Definitely worth a watch on | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
DVD. Now a quick reminder that you'll find more film news and | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
reviews from Mark on his B C blog. That's it for this week. Thank you | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
for watching. Goodbye. | :10:27. | :10:29. |
