BBC Radio 5 Live - Kermode and Mayo's Film Review, 04/03/2011

Dame Helen Mirren on her role in The Tempest, and Marc Evans on new film Patagonia.

Simon and Mark talk to Dame Helen Mirren about The Tempest, Marc Evans about his new film Patagonia, plus top 10, reviews and lots of wittertainment.

Dame Helen Mirren tells Simon about her role as Prospera in the new film version of Shakespeare's The Tempest. She tells him what her costume involved, the change of tone that comes from a female lead rather than a male Prospero, and how Russell Brand is a poet. 

Marc Evans tells Simon and Mark about his new film Patagonia. It's a road movie in Welsh and Spanish and set in the South American location. He describes how he thinks Duffy is a really good actress, how it might be the first ever Welsh / Spanish movie and how he has enjoyed Colin Firth's success after directing him in Trauma many years ago.

In the second hour, reviews of this week's new movies, including The Adjustment Bureau, Archipelago, Ironclad, Patagonia, Rango, The Tempest and Unknown.
