is time for The Film Review. Hello and welcome to | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
cinema releases is Mark Kermode. We have hail Caesar, the new movie | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
by the Coen Brothers which I know vow have been looking forward to. We | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
also have London has fallen, which I think you have been looking forward | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
to slightly less. And time out of mind. Richard Gere on the streets of | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
New York. I love the Coen Brothers. I haven't | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
seen this one. I went into this with high expectations because I has seen | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
the trailers and laughed like an idiot. I thought I'm going to be | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
disappoint. I wasn't. The film starts, 30 seconds any am laughing | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
and I laughed all the way through. It is like a breezy slip side to | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
Barton Fink. He is this playwright. Goes to Hollywood to make art, he | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
makes wrestling picture, this is 1950s Capitol Pictures, they have a | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
prestige picture being made called hail Cesar. However, their star | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Baird Whitlock is kidnapped by a group called the future. Meanwhile | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
Eddie Mannix he is a studio fixer, it is his job to go round fixing the | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
problems the studio have dealing with their stars, and one of the | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
problems they have is that Ralph Fiennes is this very testy British | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
director, who is making a sophisticated drama, called Merrily | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
We Dance he doesn't have a leading man. He has been given Hobie Doyle | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
who is what they refer to as a dust actor. Here is a celeb. Say your | :02:00. | :02:14. | |
line just as I am about to do. Sure. Were it so simple. Would it were so | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
simple. Simple. Who do you say that? You say say it like I said it. | :02:23. | :02:38. | |
I am trying to say that. We can use Christian nape, Lawrence is fine, | :02:39. | :02:58. | |
just as I call you Hobie. Trippingly. Trippingly. Say the line | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
trippingly, don't say trippingly. Tell us more. So that refers to the, | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
I can't stand him sequence from Singin' In the Rain. The plot is | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
completely all over the place. It involved red scares and herring and | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
atomic bombs and people being kidnapped. It is there to string | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
together a number of set pieces. There are aquatic scenes which are | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
reproduced, a loving homage to 1950 Hollywood. We have this biblical | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
epic, with a hint of cheese. There was an American review that said it | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
is another one of the film of the Coen Brothers hating the movie | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
industry. It isn't. It is a film that works because it loves the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
thing that it is dealing with. At the same time is Eddie Mannix, he | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
has a better job offer from someone else who say work for us, we are | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
serious, you don't have to deal with the frivolity but he has underneath | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
it a belief in the frivolity. He loves the industry. I feel the same | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
way about the Co-operative Bank brother, I thought the performances | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
were universally terrific. Hobie Doyle is wonderful. And it is one of | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
those movies which it is no just it is funny and you are laughing at the | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
jokes, it is in between the jokes you are smiling. It, you know, I | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
just grinned like a loon all the way through the film. It was, it was | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
made for me, and I loved it. I think you will like it too. Comedy. Were | :04:34. | :04:45. | |
it so simple. London Has Fallen There was Olympus and fallen and | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
White House down which were the same film. This is the sequel to him puck | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
has fallen. We have Gerard Butler bringing his bargain basement Bruce | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Willis impression to London. We are told sequel to him puck has fallen. | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
We have Gerard Butler bringing his bargain basement Bruce Willis | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
impression to London. We are told by a news report that "An attack has | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
decimated most of the capital's known landmarks." OK, fine, it | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
hasn't. What are unknown ones? They are fine, the decimation has | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
happened by a series of kind of super imposed explosions of the kind | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
most video game manufacturers would be embarrassed about. The effects | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
are treble. The script is laughable but not in that good way. Do you | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
remember team America world police, imagine that with all the jokes | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
taken out and acting more wooden that the puppets. To call it meat | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
headed would be to do a disservice to meat. Am I right that Americans | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
saves a British democracy? How did you guess that? Was Donald Trump | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
involved? I don't want to give away what happens but it is true that | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Americans going round kicking people is apparently the answer. Right. | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
Time Out of Mind Richard Gere, last week it was a Richard Gere movie in | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
which he played a millionaire with homes to give away. Now we have | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
this, which I think was made in 2014 and the story is, that he is a man | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
called George, he wakes up in the morning in a bath. Gets thrown out | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
of an apartment and he sort of wanders the streets of New York and | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
he slowly comes to the realisation that he is homeless. He has slipped | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
through the crack, the movie is shot with long lens, constantly you sigh | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
him through windows, across a crowded street, what this does is it | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
places him in the landscape, and forget what you are watching is a | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
famous movie star, you is that right to believe that what you are | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
watching is somebody who has got lost in the system, and is now | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
trying to redigs cover his identity. Here is a clip -- rediscover. | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
Where did you live last? I... I have been moving round for while. No, | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
sweetie, where did you come from, before here? Where was the last | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
place you resided. Sheila's. Where is she? Queens, I don't know. Could | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
you go back there and stay? No, she was evicted. She didn't say goodbye, | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
she didn't do anything stupid cow, she knew I had no place to go. So no | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
staying with the cow. Have you got family? If I say I have family, does | :07:31. | :07:40. | |
that mean I can still is a stay here? Yes, unless they would be | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
willing to take you in. I don't have family. Come on darling. You would | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
much rather stay with your family than stay here. You understand what | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
I am saying? Please, trust me on that one. What What happens is you | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
come to trust his character, more important you come to trust the | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
people round him. Ben Vereen's character who is streetwise. Richard | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Gere's character doesn't talk very much. Over the course of the running | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
time of the movie, it is slow, it takes its time. You get a sense of | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
the hardship of the lives they lead but the diversity of the lives they | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
lead. I thought it was really well done. I thought Richard Gere was | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
much more convincing, I have always liked hip: But there is that thing | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
people go a Hollywood actor doing this stuff. He is slumming this. He | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
is not. This is a pet project. This is something he has produced. I | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
thought it was very intelligent. Very sympathetic and something which | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
really, I mean you come out of it feeling you know, that need for, for | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
a night's sleep and he keeps saying all I want to do is sleep. I need to | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
sleep. He can't. He has been moved from place to place, train stations | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
and hospitals and I thought it really got under his skin but the | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
characters round him. I think this humanises it very well. Let us move | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
on. Your best of the week isn't what many people would suspect. But | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
actually, one of your interests. It's a documentary called Hitchcock | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
triumph foe. In the early 62, triumph foe did a series of | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
interviews with Hitchcock. He was trying to get him accepted as an | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
auteur, the interviews made up a book which was very important to | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
film-maker, this documentary uses audio tapes and photographs from the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
original interviews but speaks to people like Martin Scorsese and Wes | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
Anderson, it is fascinating, as an insight into the way film-makers | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
talk to other, secondly, about the idea that somehow the book becomes a | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
work which is on a par with the rest of triumph foe's film catalogue. I | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
think it is entertaining and anybody who is interested in cinema, anyone | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
who is interested in it should watch it. You would enjoy it. And a couple | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
of the biopics have portrayed Hitchcock the monstrous side of him. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
This is talking about the craft. This is two film-makers talking | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
about the craft and the specifics of the craft. The specifics of visuals. | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
It is really really, it is very engrossing. Your DVD is The Lady in | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
the Van. It is lovely. Maggie Smith, fantastic performance at the woman | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
who parks on van on Alan Bennett's drive and stays for is a years. It | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
is funny, as a lot of comedy, but it is touching and move, not in a | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
sentimental way but it is a really richly rounded dam what. In the | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
middle this fantastic performance by Maggie Smith who is dynamite. | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
A quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
and reviews from across the BBC online, including | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
That is it for this week. Enjoy the movies. And goodbye. | :11:01. | :11:17. | |
The worst of the snow is now over across northern parts of the UK. | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
There is still a bit of wintriness round but most is turning to sleet | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
and rain. Of course across the south of UK we never really had the snow | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
clear blue | :11:31. | :11:32. |
