THE ENIGMA OF KASPAR HAUSER BLANCANIEVES WADJDA 

THE BLING RING 

Good Weather is Bad Box Office 

As I gaze out over the Capital House car park, across the charmingly-monickered Chuckie Pend (the lane behind Filmhouse, aka Morrison 

Street Lane), it’s a glorious, blue-sky, June day. Whilst I would not wish to deny any of you some sunshine – heaven knows you’ve all paid 

your dues vis-à-vis the weather – my enjoyment of it is always tempered by the well-worn film industry adage at the top of this page. 

Maybe I need to get over it, leave such thoughts in the office, and enjoy the sunshine. Maybe I just need to get out more! But I suspect 

only your attendance in our darkened rooms can stop me worrying. My contentment, dear readers, is in your hands... 

By the time this programme kicks in, the awesome 2013 edition of EIFF will just have passed, and by no coincidence whatever we find 

ourselves showing a lot of films they brought to the city first! (Well, he’s a man of taste is EIFF director Chris Fujiwara.) First up is Sofia 

Coppola’s indictment of celebrity-obsessed society, The Bling Ring; Stories We Tell is Sarah Polley’s brilliant documentary about her 

family’s history, and in particular the actual question of her own parentage; from Iceland, The Deep tells the miraculous true story of the 

sole survivor of a fishing trawler wreck; Alex Gibney’s supremely timely (given arch-leaker Bradley Manning’s ongoing trial) and feisty We 

Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks needs little explanation beyond that given by its title; and Fire in the Night recounts what happened 

the night of the worst offshore disaster the oil industry has ever seen, on the Piper Alpha North Sea platform, some 25 years ago. 

The Goya (Spanish ‘Oscar’)-winning Blancanieves (Snow White) is, à la the Oscar-winning The Artist of last year, a stunning, delightful 

homage to silent cinema; Wadjda, as well as being the first film made entirely within the kingdom of Saudi Arabia AND directed by a 

woman, is also a winning, handsomely crafted, utterly charming coming-of-age tale about a young girl who wants a bike, in a country 

were young girls don’t ride bikes; Renoir takes a beautiful, atmospheric, pastoral stroll through the latter years of the great artist (Auguste), 

paying particular attention to his relationship with his yet-to-be great filmmaker son (Jean); and Blackfish exposes the very dark side of 

keeping killer whales, including the infamous Tilikum, in captivity. 

Delightedly, we’re also screening the BFI restoration/reissue of Werner Herzog’s The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, and the doyen of European 

cinema, Michael Haneke, gets a full feature film retrospective, which we are only able to do with the help of our very good friends at 

Drambuie. 

And lastly, does anyone out there know why Chuckie Pend is called Chuckie Pend It’s a question that crosses my mind just about every 

day… [Yeah, you definitely need to get out more. - Ed.]

NEWRELEASE 

Our Children À perdre la raison 

Mon 1 to Thu 4 Jul 

Joachim Lafosse • Belgium/Luxembourg/France/Switzerland 2012 

1h51m • DCP • French and Arabic with English subtitles 

15 – Contains distressing scenes 

Cast: Niels Arestrup, Tahar Rahim, Émilie Dequenne, Stéphane 

Bissot, Mounia Raoui. 

Based on a true story, celebrated director Joachim Lafosse’s 

intense, multi-layered dissection of an unorthodox family 

unit won Émilie Dequenne the prestigious Best Actress 

Award at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. 

Young and full of life, Murielle (Dequenne, Rosetta) has a 

promising future ahead of her when she meets and falls 

head over heels for Mounir (Tahar Rahim, A Prophet). A 

wedding soon follows, and the happy couple quickly set 

about starting a family. However, with family comes ties, 

and none come as tight as that between Mounir and 

his adoptive father Dr Pinget (Niels Arestrup, also in A 

Prophet). 

As the family grows, friction increases, and, helpless to 

extract her husband and children from the comfortable 

nest that Pinget has provided for them, Murielle is drawn 

into the unhealthy family dynamic. All sense of reason 

begins to abandon her, and there seems to be only one 

way out of this nightmare.

The Battle Of The Sexes 


James Erskine & Zara Hayes • UK 2013 • 1h23m • DCP 

PG – Contains mild language and sex references • Documentary 

“I wasn’t just playing for myself. This was for everybody.” 

Tennis star and women’s rights activist Billie Jean King 

won a total of 39 Grand Slam titles, but the biggest match 

of her career took place in 1973 against former men’s 

champion Bobby Riggs, a self-proclaimed male chauvinist 

pig who declared that, even at the age of 55, he could beat 

any woman in the world. A rousing and hugely enjoyable 

documentary with a great soundtrack. 

Fire in the Night 

Mon 1 to Sat 6 Jul 

Anthony Wonke • UK 2013 • 1h33m • DCP • 15 • Documentary 

The world’s worst offshore disaster remembered, 25 years 

on. 

In tense detail, this riveting new documentary explores the 

6 July 1988 disaster on the North Sea oil rig Piper Alpha. 

The film skilfully combines archival footage and audio 

recordings with present-day filmed interviews to recreate 

the suspense and horror of the disaster and to unfold the 

complex emotions of those who survived.

Taissa Farmiga. 

Sofia Coppola’s latest is based on an incredible true story.

Motivated less by greed than by a fascination with status 

brands and famous people, the gang target Paris Hilton, 

Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson, Lindsay Lohan and others, 

bragging of their intimacy with their victims. A biting, 

stylish take on celebrity culture.

Gilles Bourdos • France 2012 • 1h51m • DCP 

French and Italian with English subtitles • cert tbc 

Cast: Michel Bouquet, Christa Theret, Vincent Rottiers, Thomas 

Doret, Romane Bohringer. 

The Côte d’Azur, 1915. In his twilight years, Auguste Renoir 

is tormented by the loss of his wife, the pains of arthritic 

old age and the terrible news that his son Jean has been 

wounded in action. But when a beautiful young woman, 

Andrée, enters his world, the old painter is filled with a 

new, wholly unexpected energy. Back at the family home 

to convalesce, Jean too falls under Andrée’s spell... and, 

within weak-willed, battle-shaken Jean, a filmmaker begins 

to grow. 

Gilles Bourdos’s drama is a lyrical period piece with 

wonderful performances, based on real events and 

beautifully shot in the south of France.

Stories We Tell 


Sarah Polley • Canada 2012 • 1h49m • DCP 

12A – Contains one use of strong language and infrequent 

moderate sex references • Documentary 

Actor and director Sarah Polley’s first feature documentary 

is a beautifully-structured investigation into the history 

of her own family – in particular her mother, who died 

when Polley was eleven. Layering interviews with family 

members and friends with archive footage and a recording 

of her father’s witty and revealing memoir, Polley builds 

up an enthralling collage of fact, hearsay and memory as 

she strives to find out the truth about her mother, and, by 

extension, herself.

We Steal Secrets: 

The Story of WikiLeaks 


Alex Gibney • USA 2013 • 2h10m • DCP 

15 – Contains strong real images of violence and strong 

language • Documentary 

Exposing the truth behind exposing the truth. 

A young, unhappy American soldier presses a key on his 

computer and changes the world forever. Fascinating, 

frightening, and factual. Oscar-winning documentary 

director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron: 

The Smartest Guys in the Room) tackles the WikiLeaks 

phenomenon, adjusting the conventional focus to 

highlight crucial background stories whilst giving chase to 

the controversial website’s elusive, enigmatic figurehead, 

Julian Assange. 

After the 5.45pm screening on Tuesday 23 July there 

will be an open discussion on the issues raised by the 

film, led by a representative of the Humanist Society of 

Scotland. 

Humanism is an ethical stance which asserts that we 

can lead good lives guided by compassion and reason, 

rather than religion or superstition. Humanists are vitally 

concerned with issues that affect our world.

Cast: Alice Taglioni, Patrick Bruel, Marine Delterme, Louis-Do 

de Lencquesaing, Michel Aumont. 

Dreamy pharmacist Alice is totally obsessed with the works 

of Woody Allen. She surrounds herself with images of him, 

continually quotes lines from his films and even prescribes 

her customers DVDs of his movies to help alleviate their 

ailments; it’s little wonder she’s still single in her thirties! 

Alice’s increasingly concerned family hopes to cure her 

fixation by setting her up with a handsome Frenchman, 

but he quickly realises that he’s no match for the man of 

her dreams... A fun and brazenly nostalgic comedy which 

playfully pokes fun at France’s ongoing love affair with the 

acclaimed New York auteur.

Blackfish 


Gabriela Cowperthwaite • USA 2013 • 1h22m 

DCP • English and Spanish with English subtitles 

cert tbc • Documentary 

In the summer of 2010, Dawn Brancheau, an experienced 

and skilful SeaWorld trainer, died following an incident 

involving Tilikum, a 12,000-pound orca. Media reports 

called it a freak accident, SeaWorld said these things 

almost never happened, the animals were happy and the 

trainers safe. But filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite, who 

had recently visited SeaWorld with her children, wondered 

if there was more to the story than first appeared. Why 

would a highly intelligent animal attack its trainer – in 

effect, bite the hand that feeds it Investigating further, she 

was shocked to discover that Tilikum had been involved in 

an earlier incident at another marine park, and that attacks 

on humans by killer whales in captivity were actually fairly 

commonplace (though unheard of in the wild). 

This gripping and moving film, which includes distressing 

footage and emotional interviews, reveals how the 

treatment of these magnificent animals in captivity has 

turned them from sociable, loving creatures into potential 

killers.

Like Someone In Love 

Mon 29 July to Thu 1 Aug 

Abbas Kiarostami • France/Japan 2012 • 1h50m 

DCP • Japanese with English subtitles 

12A – Contains moderate sex references 

Cast: Tadashi Okuno, Rin Takanashi, Ryo Kase, Denden, Reiko 

Mori. 

Akiko (Rin Takanashi) is a beautiful, reserved young student 

who works as a prostitute on the side. Takeshi (Denden) 

is her client, an elderly academic who could be her 

grandfather. Noriaki (Ryo Kase) is Akiko’s verbose, insecure 

boyfriend, unaware of her double life. 

At least that’s who they are as Abbas Kiarostami’s Tokyo-set 

film sets up its narrative. Yet, as always with the Iranian 

master’s key works, identity is a slippery, mysterious thing. 

In Kiarostami’s universe – and in ours – relationships are 

infinitely elastic and subject to context that can twist 

unexpectedly, upending the meaning of who we are 

entirely. While the film progresses, its characters refuse to 

play out their roles in the usual manner. Even the director, 

you might argue, evades and resists his usual role.

BEHIND THE CANDELABRA THE STOKER THE ENIGMA OF KASPAR HAUSER 

MAYBEYOUMISSED 

Behind the Candelabra 


Steven Soderbergh • USA 2013 • 1h58m • DCP 

15 – Contains strong language, sex, sex references and drug use 

Cast: Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Rob Lowe, Scott Bakula, 

Debbie Reynolds. 

Before Elvis, before Elton John, Madonna and Lady 

Gaga, there was Liberace: virtuoso pianist, outrageous 

entertainer and flamboyant star of stage and television. A 

name synonymous with showmanship, extravagance and 

candelabras, he was a world-renowned performer with 

a flair that endeared him to his audiences and created 

a loyal fan base spanning his 40-year career. Liberace 

lived lavishly and embraced a lifestyle of excess both on 

and off stage. In the summer of 1977, handsome young 

stranger Scott Thorson walked into his dressing room and, 

despite their age difference, the two embarked on a secret 

five-year love affair. Steven Soderbergh’s sumptuous film, 

featuring wonderful performances from Michael Douglas 

and Matt Damon, takes a behind-the-scenes look at their 

tempestuous relationship. 

“Much more than a biopic about Liberace, this expertly 

assembled film recounts a true love story in a way we 

rarely see on screen: with honest humour, real feeling and 

startling insight.” - Shadows on the Wall

The Stoker Kochegar 


Alexey Balabanov • Russia 2010 • 1h27m 

DCP • Russian with English subtitles 

15 – Contains strong sex, violence and sexual violence 

Cast: Mikhail Skryabin, Yuri Matveev, Alexander Mosin, Aida 

Tumutova, Anna Korotayeva. 

A second chance to see Filmhouse’s first release as 

distributor, a fascinating, atmospheric, stylistic 

tour-de-force of idiosyncratic filmmaking.. 

Set in the mid 1990s outside St Petersburg, The Stoker tells 

the story of an ethnic Yakut, Major Skryabin, a shell-shocked 

veteran of the Afghan-Soviet War, who works as a stoker. 

Living in the incinerator room, the Major shovels coal all 

day, and fills his spare time writing a novel about a Russian 

criminal sent into exile in Yakutia in the XIX century, whilst 

turning a blind eye to his former military comrade-turnedhitman, 

the Sergeant, who arrives to dispose of bodies. But 

even our compliant stoker has his limits… 

This harsh, disturbing, minimalist, relentlessly evenly-paced, 

pitch-black comedy/drama gradually and steadily assumes 

considerable power, as Balabanov deftly teases our 

expectations, most notably, perhaps, with an ironic jaunty 

Latin-inflected, electro-folk score which works to perfection.

RESTOREDCLASSIC 

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser 

Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle 


Werner Herzog • West Germany 1974 • 1h49m 

DCP • German with English subtitles • PG 

Cast: Bruno S, Walter Ladengast, Brigitte Mira, Willy 

Semmelrogge, Michael Kroecher. 

The best by far of the various films about the full-grown 

man who turned up out of the blue in 19th-century 

Germany, barely able to walk or talk, and became a figure 

of fame and controversy among doctors, scientists and 

educationalists of the day. Wisely, Herzog hardly bothers 

about Hauser’s origins and mysterious fate, choosing 

instead to compare Kaspar – an innocent at the mercy 

of a society too sure of itself – with the mostly liberal but 

blinkered rationalists who determine to shape his new 

life. Bruno S, himself something of an outcast, plays Kaspar 

to perfection, while Herzog brings a rare lyricism to his 

account of purity imperilled by contact with civilisation. 

Arguably his warmest and most poignant feature. 

Screening in a new digital restoration.

The Paradise Trilogy

PARADISE: LOVE PARADISE: FAITH PARADISE: HOPE 

The Paradise 

Trilogy 

Austrian iconoclast Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy 

is an epic thematic tapestry telling the story of 

three women, whose stories delicately cross 

over between films, each finding themselves at a 

turning point in their lives while on a journey to 

find happiness. 

Paradise: Love Paradies: Liebe 

Fri 26 to Sun 28 Jul 

Ulrich Seidl • Austria/Germany/France 2012 • 2h • DCP 

German, English and Swahili with English subtitles 

18 – Contains strong sex and nudity 

Cast: Margarete Tiesel, Peter Kazungu, Inge Maux, Dunja Sowinetz. 

Paradise: Love follows 50-year-old divorcee Teresa, who 

sends her daughter to weight loss camp before heading to 

the Kenyan beaches for a vacation. There, a friend introduces 

her to the world of sexual tourism, where older women 

become ‘Sugar Mamas’ for strapping young beach boys. 

Uncomfortable at first, Teresa eventually meets Munga, a 

more sensitive suitor who seems to feel a genuine affection 

towards the older woman. But it soon becomes unclear 

who is the exploiter and who is the exploited. Seidl sets the 

tone for the trilogy with his signature blend of realism, social 

commentary, and warped humour. Giving a truly brave 

performance is lead actress Margarete Tiesel, who embodies 

the tragedy of a woman looking for true romance in a 

society where that is the one thing money cannot buy. 

Paradise: Faith Paradies: Glaube 

Fri 9 to Sun 11 Aug at 3.30pm + 8.45pm 

Ulrich Seidl • Austria/Germany/France 2012 • 1h53m 

DCP • German and Arabic with English subtitles • cert tbc 

Cast: Maria Hofstätter, Nabil Saleh, Natalya Baranova, Rene 

Rupnik, Daniel Hoesl. 

The second film of Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy follows 

Anna Maria (Maria Hofstatter, one of the director’s frequent 

collaborators), the fanatically religious self-flagellating 

sister of the main character from Paradise: Love, who 

decides to spend her vacation time doing missionary 

work in the suburbs of Vienna. With a foot-high statue 

of the Virgin Mary in tow, she travels through immigrant 

communities imposing her beliefs on those she meets. Her 

work is interrupted by the surprise return of her husband 

Nabil (Nabil Saleh), an Egyptian Muslim who has been 

absent for two years and is now confined to a wheelchair. 

He is shocked by the change in his wife, and the two soon 

engage in an abrasive theological face-off. 

With Paradise: Faith, Seidl gleefully examines the 

hypocrisies of religious zealotry through expressive 

confrontation, satire, and a shockingly explicit chance 

encounter. But the film also shows tenderness, as the 

relationship between husband and wife, fractured as it 

may have become, is their true saving grace. 

Paradise: Hope Paradies: Hoffnung 

Fri 23 to Sun 25 Aug at 3.30pm + 8.45pm 

Ulrich Seidl • Austria/France/Germany 2013 • 1h40m 

DCP • German with English subtitles • cert tbc 

Cast: Melanie Lenz, Verena Lehbauer, Joseph Lorenz, Michael 

Thomas, Viviane Bartsch. 

Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy concludes as it began, with 

divorced mother Teresa sending her daughter Melanie off 

to weight loss camp, but this final chapter has a lighter 

touch and a surprising sweetness. A chubby 13-year-old, 

Melanie (Melanie Lenz) is not at all excited about this drab, 

industrialised campground in the middle of the woods 

where dieticians and fitness coaches impose a boot-camp 

style regimen. That is, until she meets Verena (Verena 

Lehbauer), a ribald cabin mate who loves to share tales of 

her extensive sexual experience, and even sneaks Melanie 

into town for a spirited night of drinking and dancing. 

While Paradise: Hope contains all the hallmarks of Seidl’s 

distinctive and provocative style, here he fills the story with 

a sensitive openness, with Melanie as a particularly poignant 

heroine, that provides an unexpected and refreshing finale 

to the series, ending on a true note of hope.

10 Ray Harryhausen 

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS 

Ray Harryhausen 

Ray Harryhausen, visual effects pioneer and 

stop-motion model animator, died on 7 May 

2013 at the age of 92. Harryhausen’s influence 

on today’s filmmakers was enormous; Steven 

Spielberg, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, 

George Lucas, John Landis and Nick Park have 

cited Harryhausen as being the man whose 

work inspired their own creations. 

Harryhausen’s fascination with animated 

models began when he first saw Willis 

O’Brien’s creations in King Kong in 1933, and 

he made his first foray into filmmaking in 1935 

with home movies that featured his youthful 

attempts at model animation. Over the years 

he worked on some of the fantasy genre’s 

best known movies, and is perhaps best 

remembered for his extraordinary animation 

of seven skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts 

(1963), which took him three months to film. 

Harryhausen’s genius was in being able to 

bring his models alive. Whether they were 

prehistoric dinosaurs or mythological creatures, 

in his hands they were no longer puppets but 

became instead characters in their own right, 

just as important as the actors they played 

against and in most cases even more so.

bizarre wildlife – an enormous crab, a huge chicken, mansized 

bees – and begin to suspect they’re being watched...

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad 


Nathan Juran • USA 1958 • 1h28m • DCP • U 

Cast: Kerwin Mathews, Kathryn Grant, Richard Eyer, Torin 

Thatcher, Alec Mango. 

Sinbad is sailing to Baghdad, accompanied by Princess 

Parisa, his future bride. A violent storm blows the ship off 

course, and the travellers land on the island of Colossa, 

where they find the sorcerer Sokurah being chased by 

a monstrous cyclops from whom he has stolen a magic 

lamp. Sinbad fends off the cyclops, and with help from 

the lamp’s genie they are able to escape. But that’s just the 

beginning of their adventures... 

Harryhausen’s first colour film is also one of the greatest 

achievements in fantasy filmmaking since King Kong, 

featuring a baby roc and its giant mother, a fire-breathing 

dragon and a sword-fighting skeleton. 

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad 


Gordon Hessler • USA 1973 • 1h45m • 35mm • U 

Cast: John Phillip Law, Caroline Munro, Tom Baker, Douglas 

Wilmer, Martin Shaw.

the principal villain, Koura, is portrayed by future Dr Who 

Tom Baker. The plot sends Sinbad and his crew on a quest 

for a valuable and magical golden tablet. Harryhausen’s 

‘Dynamation’ highlights include a six-armed statue, a oneeyed 

centaur and a flying griffin.

of a rare artist.

The Seventh Continent 

Der siebente Kontinent 

Wed 10 Jul at 6.10pm & Thu 11 Jul at 8.40pm 

Michael Haneke • Austria 1989 • 1h44m • DCP 

German, French and English with English subtitles 

18 – Contains suicide theme 

Cast: Birgit Doll, Dieter Berner, Leni Tanzer, Udo Samel, Silvia 

Fenz. 

Haneke’s impressive feature theatrical debut follows 

three members of a middle-class family as their lives and 

relationships slowly disintegrate. A stunning examination 

of the effects of emotional isolation and the inability to 

communicate in the modern age. 

Benny’s Video 

Sun 14 Jul at 8.45pm & Mon 15 Jul at 6.15pm 

Michael Haneke • Austria/Switzerland 1992 • 1h50m • 35mm 

German, English, Arabic and French with English subtitles 

15 – Contains strong violence 

Cast: Arno Frisch , Angela Winkler, Ulrich Mühe, Ingrid Stassner, 

Stephanie Brehme. 

A chilling look at isolation, alienation and violence, and 

a critique of mass media effects on behaviour. 14-yearold 

Benny, largely ignored by his parents, spends his 

time watching violent movies and filming with his video 

camera. One day, on a whim, he invites a girl to his house, 

and records the events that transpire.

FUNNY GAMES CODE UNKNOWN THE PIANO TEACHER 

71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance 

71 Fragmente einer Chronologie des Zufalls 

Wed 17 Jul at 6.30pm & Thu 18 Jul at 8.45pm 

Michael Haneke • Austria/Germany 1994 • 1h40m • DCP 

German, Romanian and English with English subtitles 

12A – Contains moderate violence 

Cast: Lukas Miko, Otto Grünmandl, Anne Bennent, Udo Samel. 

A cool, cerebral meditation on violence and the media, 

71 Fragments follows a number of seemingly unrelated 

characters, gradually letting the audience know more 

about each one before revealing what connects them. 

The third film in Haneke’s so-called ‘trilogy of emotional 

glacification’, which began with The Seventh Continent 

and continued with Benny’s Video. 

The Castle Das Schloß 


Michael Haneke • Germany/Austria 1997 • 2h3m 

DCP • German with English subtitles 

12A – Contains moderate sex 

Cast: Ulrich Mühe, Susanne Lothar, Frank Giering, Felix Eitner. 

Haneke’s made-for-TV film of Kafka’s classic is faithful 

in letter and spirit to the very end. K, a land surveyor 

(or is he), turns up at a village and undergoes endless 

bewildering, frustrating and demeaning experiences at the 

hands both of a repressive bureaucracy (the Castle, which 

we never actually see) and of the strangely complicitous 

villagers. A strong sense of absurdity imbues the overall 

atmosphere of guilt, paranoia, misplaced ambition, desire 

and impotence, and Haneke’s cool, characteristically 

austere direction and the stark design lend the film a 

strange, mesmerising logic all of its own. 

Funny Games 


Michael Haneke • Austria 1997 • 1h49m • 35mm 

German and French with English subtitles • 18 

Cast: Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe, Arno Frisch, Frank Giering. 

Two psychotic young men take a mother, father and son 

hostage in their holiday cabin and force them to play 

sadistic ‘games’ with one another for their amusement. 

“It isn’t supposed to be a film you like. What I hope is that 

they [the audience] find it disturbing.” - Michael Haneke 

Code Unknown Code inconnu 

Wed 31 Jul at 6.00pm & Thu 1 Aug at 8.30pm 

Michael Haneke • France/Germany/Romania 2000 • 1h57m 

35mm • French, Romanian, English, German, Arabic, Malinke and 

French Sign Language with English subtitles 

15 – Contains strong language 

Cast: Juliet Binoche, Thierry Neuvic, Sepp Bierbichler, Ona Lu 

Yenke, Luminita Gheprghiu, Arsinée Khanijan, Alexandre Hamidi. 

Whereas much of Haneke’s previous work placed an 

extremely violent act at the centre, in Code Unknown 

the violence is more subtle and psychological in nature. 

In a kaleidoscope of tales, some interrelated, some not, 

Haneke delivers a sobering reflection on the nature of 

action and obligation. The events of the film are propelled 

by a fascinating opening scene where a triad of characters 

and stories intersect: an illegal immigrant from Romania, 

a man who lives in Paris with his African family, and an 

actress married to a war photographer constantly away on 

assignment. 

The Piano Teacher La pianiste 

Sun 4 Aug at 8.30pm & Mon 5 Aug at 5.45pm 

Michael Haneke • Austria/France/Germany 2001 • 2h5m 

35mm • French and German with English subtitles 

18 – Contains strong language, violence, sexual violence, sex 

and sado-masochism theme 

Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Annie Girardot, Benoît Magimel, Susanne 

Lothar, Udo Samel. 

In her late thirties, Erika Kahut is a piano teacher at the 

esteemed Vienna Conservatory. She is strict, intimidating and 

respected; however, her personality is a diligent construction 

and a painful response to her constricted life. She still shares 

an apartment with her mother and their co-dependent 

relationship is stifling and even violent. Erika’s twisted 

regimen and careful façade are completely obliterated when 

Walter, a younger student, decides to seduce his teacher. 

The Time of the Wolf Le temps du loup 

Thu 8 Aug at 6.00pm & Fri 9 Aug at 8.45pm 

Michael Haneke • France/Austria/Germany 2003 • 1h53m 

35mm • French and Romanian with English subtitles 

15 – Contains strong language and animal slaughter 

Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Béatrice Dalle, Patrice Chéreau, Rona 

Hartner, Olivier Gourmet. 

The opening of The Time of the Wolf recalls Haneke’s 1997 

film Funny Games. Anne (Isabelle Huppert) and her two 

children watch in horror as her husband is gunned down by 

a stranger who has invaded their holiday home. But there 

the comparison ends. As the remaining trio go on the run 

through the countryside, much of the first half of the film is 

shrouded in darkness. It’s only after they encounter a group 

of what appears to be vagrants that all becomes clear. 

SEASON CONTINUES OVERLEAF

16 Michael Haneke: Presented by Drambuie (continued) 

CACHE FUNNY GAMES U.S. THE WHITE RIBBON 

Caché Hidden 


Michael Haneke • France/Austria/Germany/Italy/USA 2005 

1h58m • 35mm • French with English subtitles 

15 – Contains strong violence 

Cast: Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche, Maurice Bénichou, Annie 

Girardot, Bernard Le Coq. 

Georges, a TV talk-show host, receives a mysterious 

videotape containing two hours of static footage of 

his house. More tapes follow, and Georges becomes 

convinced that a pivotal figure from his past is responsible. 

With Caché, Haneke elegantly interlaces the concepts 

that have long obsessed him – bourgeois complacency 

penetrated by strange invaders, the surfacing of 

subconscious guilt, the ripple effects of violence across 

generations. 

Funny Games U.S. 


Michael Haneke • UK/USA/France/Austria 2007 • 1h51m • 35mm 

18 – Contains strong sustained threat, humiliation and violence 

Cast: Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Michael Pitt, Brady Corbet, Devon 

Gearheart. 

Haneke’s English-language remake of his own 1997 film 

uses the viewer’s expectations against him or her. He 

makes a bold statement about how the indoctrination 

of mainstream thrillers has made violence and terror 

acceptable for entertainment by crafting a motion picture 

that is anything but entertaining. It gives you what you 

want and asks why you want it in the first place, and it 

does both those things superbly. It is cruel, cold and darkly 

thrilling. 

The White Ribbon Das weiße Band 


Michael Haneke • Austria/Germany/France/Italy 2009 

2h24m • 35mm • German with English subtitles 

15 – Contains child abuse references 

Cast: Ulrich Tukur, Susanne Lothar, Josef Bierbichler, Mercedes 

Jadea Diaz, Burghart Klaußner. 

With this dazzlingly intelligent drama, which won him his 

first Palme d’or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival (he won a 

second with Amour in 2012), Haneke returns to his classic 

themes of guilt, denial and violence as the mysterious 

symptom of mass dysfunction. In a secluded northern 

German village on the eve of the First World War, malicious 

incidents – some small, some not small – begin to occur, 

and the very structure of this small community seems to be 

under threat. Impeccably acted, shot in monochrome, and 

directed with the filmmaker’s icily exact rigour and severity. 

Amour Love 

Sun 1 Sep at 8.30pm & Mon 2 Sep at 5.50pm 

Michael Haneke • Austria/France/Germany 2012 • 2h7m 

DCP • French and English with English subtitles 

12A – Contains one use of strong language and distressing scenes 

Cast: Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert. 

Haneke’s deserving Palme d’Or-winner about an otherwise 

comfortably-off octogenarian couple, Georges and Anne 

(Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva), trying to 

cope when a stroke leaves the wife partly paralysed and 

speechless, is characteristically honest and unsentimental. 

The film takes place in the couple’s Paris apartment; as 

Anne’s condition deteriorates, so their world shrinks, and 

visits by their daughter and others merely distract Georges 

from the business of deciding what’s best for his wife.

night falls she returns to find that mum and dad have 

been turned into pigs, leaving her trapped in the spirit 

realm. Sent to work in a bathhouse for the gods, Chihiro

backbiting and betrayal among Manhattan socialites. 

Mary Haines (Norma Shearer) is the last to discover that 

her husband has been playing away with perfume salesgirl 

Crystal Allen (Joan Crawford). The subsequent outpouring 

of sympathy from her so-called friends is laced with 

venom: assuring Mary she has her best interests at heart, 

Sylvia (Rosalind Russell) forces her into a confrontation 

with the home-wrecking riff-raff, but the incident ignites 

public scandal. With her reputation in tatters and Crystal 

digging her stilettos in, Mary must decide whether to bow 

out gracefully or bare her claws...

Richard Fleischer 

ARMORED CAR ROBBERY VIOLENT SATURDAY THE VIKINGS 

Richard Fleischer 

The final three screenings in this retrospective, 

a collaboration between Filmhouse and the 

Edinburgh International Film Festival 

Fleischer directed some of the most distinctive 

and most enduring Hollywood classics over a 

career that spanned six decades and ranged 

from film noir to science fiction. His versatility, 

while enabling him to achieve commercial 

longevity, may also be a reason why Fleischer 

has been consistently underrated by critics 

and historians. Yet his films are in the best 

tradition of mainstream cinema with their 

deft interweaving of thrilling action and 

psychological complexity. 

We are hopeful that these screenings will 

be introduced by Chris Fujiwara, Artistic 

Director of EIFF – please check our website for 

confirmation. 

www.edfilmfest.org.uk 

Armored Car Robbery 


Richard Fleischer • USA 1950 • 1h7m • 16mm • PG 

Cast: Charles McGraw, Adele Jergens, William Talman, Douglas 

Fowley, Steve Brodie. 

This grim and relentless B heist film, a precursor to John 

Huston’s The Asphalt Jungle and Stanley Kubrick’s The 

Killing, shows Fleischer developing his mastery over plots 

in which diverse individuals become involved in a web 

of complex action. Psychopathic criminal mastermind 

Dave Purvis devises a seemingly foolproof plan to rob 

an armoured truck at Wrigley Stadium in Los Angeles. 

When things go inevitably wrong as a policeman is killed, 

the thieves fall out with one another and the dead cop’s 

vengeful partner takes charge of the case. 

Violent Saturday 

Thu 4 Jul at 6.15pm 

Richard Fleischer • USA 1955 • 1h30m • DCP • PG 

Cast: Victor Mature, Richard Egan, Stephen McNally, Virginia 

Leith, Lee Marvin. 

One of Fleischer’s most brilliant films, a mix of melodrama 

and heist thriller, set in a small American city where 

three mysterious strangers arrive to plot and execute a 

bank robbery. Sydney Boehm’s tight and elegant script 

interweaves the lives of several townspeople who become 

innocent bystanders, victims, or nemeses of the trio’s 

misdeeds, including an alcoholic war hero, his unfaithful 

wife, a peaceful Amish farmer, and a mine supervisor 

who has lost his young son’s respect. The whole cast is 

outstanding, and Fleischer uses CinemaScope to build 

continuously unfolding visual excitement. 

The Vikings 


Richard Fleischer • USA 1958 • 1h56m • DCP • PG 

Cast: Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine, Janet Leigh, 

James Donald. 

With the aid of a physically perfect cast and Jack Cardiff’s 

magnificent widescreen cinematography, Fleischer brings 

the 10th century to vivid life in this witty and eloquent 

action spectacle. 

Kirk Douglas stars as Einar, the son of Viking king Ragnar 

(Ernest Borgnine). Tony Curtis is a British slave who, 

unknown to all, is the illegitimate son of Ragnar. The 

two half-brothers become bitter enemies and rivals for 

a beautiful princess (Janet Leigh) but come together to 

protect their father’s kingdom. Maiming, mutilation and 

mayhem ensue. Fleischer: “During the shoot, by a strange 

alchemy, we were all possessed by the Viking spirit.”

Cast: Deon Lotz, Charlie Keegan, Michelle Scott, Roeline Daneel. 

The first Afrikaans-language film to be screened at 

Cannes, Beauty tells the story of François, a middle-aged 

man whose well ordered existence unravels. A chance 

encounter with Christian, the son of a long lost friend, 

ignites infatuation and lust within the unhappily married 

François, plunging him into a confusion of self-loathing, 

tinged with a desperation for happiness. 27-year-old South 

African director Oliver Hermanus has delivered a taut, 

seething character study, pulsing with pent up energy. 

A Late Quartet 

Yaron Zilberman • USA 2012 • 1h46m 

15 – Contains strong language and sex 

Cast: Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine 

Keener, Mark Ivanir, Wallace Shawn. 

A powerhouse cast brings vivid life to Yaron Zilberman’s 

engrossing drama about an illustrious string quartet, 

whose quarter-century anniversary precipitates a 

tempestuous release of repressed feelings, long-held 

resentments and painful betrayals. Peter (Christopher 

Walken), the group’s founding member, is diagnosed with 

a degenerative illness that forces him to confront the 

troubling question of who will succeed him. Meanwhile 

the marriage between second violinist Robert (Philip 

Seymour Hoffman) and violist Juliette (Catherine Keener) 

goes suddenly south when infidelity rears its head.
