V FOR VENDETTA
BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET
This 2006 Wachowski Brothers movie is a somewhat seditious selection by BBC America, since it’s all about a futuristic totalitarian British state overthrown by rebel forces tied to that country’s history of anarchy. Hugo Weaving stars as the freedom fighter who goes by the name of “V,” and Natalie Portman plays his eventual protégé – whose schemes include donning a particularly provocative costume to entice and distract a devious, deviant adversary.
