NEIGHBOURING SOUNDS LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED A LATE QUARTET 

ON THE WATERFRONT 

If you see only one film this month... you’ll miss a whole load of great cinema. 

I am occasionally, in the course of my duties here at Filmhouse, asked to meet students on related courses to talk to them about my 

job, how we work, the film industry and all that stuff. Hopefully, they get something out of it – I know I do, for there’s nothing I like 

more than talking about myself for an hour... Anyway, the other day I was asked how many films I watch in the course of a year, and 

I’d no idea of the number. So, I’ve let my OCD take over for a while and have decided to keep a note of all films I watch (I once knew 

someone who kept ALL his ticket stubs...), for both business and pleasure, as it were, for a year from 1 March 2013; and, at the risk 

of appearing self-absorbed, will report back as the year progresses – if I remember to. I’ve no doubt some of you watch more films 

than I do, though you may struggle to keep up once the festivals I attend come around – gauntlet duly thrown down! I’m on eight 

so far (it’s 11 March today) which have included catching up on Zombieland (great fun), Iron Man 2 (I think I’ve had it with Hollywood 

blockbusters) and, top of the pile, the Brazilian Neighbouring Sounds, which can be seen at a cinema near you (ie. this one!) in April. 

Ah yes, April... A Late Quartet is an old-fashioned, beautifully performed gem – very much in the Woody Allen mould sans the 

comedy – set in the rarified world of a NYC string quartet, as one of their number (Christopher Walken as you may not have seen him 

before) announces his retirement. Cue the surfacing of previously buried resentments... Susanne Bier’s Love Is All You Need stars Pierce 

Brosnan (as a fruit and veg tycoon living in Denmark!) in an irresistible, beautiful, mostly Sorrento-set romantic comedy set around 

the wedding of an unlikely couple’s son and daughter... And, getting serious, if I may, for a minute, the revelatory documentary The 

Gatekeepers is the fascinating story of the Israeli internal security service (Shin Bet) as told by the men who ran it from 1948 to the 

present day. Incredible stuff. 

The Italian Film Festival returns for its 20th edition and features the best new Italian cinema plus two restorations of Roberto Rossellini/ 

Ingrid Bergman collaborations, Stromboli and Journey to Italy; also celebrating its 20th anniversary is the weekend-long celebration 

of all things horror, Dead by Dawn. Daniel Day-Lewis gets a small/perfectly-formed Drambuie®-sponsored retrospective of his finest 

performances (including his three Oscar®-winning ones). There’s a few digital restorations rating a mention too: Max Ophuls’ elegant 

Madame de..., Pasolini’s mysterious Theorem, and Elia Kazan’s masterful On the Waterfront, simply one of the best American films ever 

made, and featuring Marlon Brando at the absolute peak of his considerable power. And if you fancy a bit of good old 35mm, a brand 

new print of John Boorman’s awesome Point Blank will be with us shortly after its debut at the BFI Southbank...

GOOD VIBRATIONS IN THE HOUSE A LATE QUARTET 

NEWRELEASE NEWRELEASE NEWRELEASE 

Good Vibrations 

Showing until Thu 11 Apr 

Lisa Barros D’Sa & Glenn Leyburn 

UK/Ireland 2012 • 1h43m • Digital projection 

15 – Contains strong language, once very strong, and drug use 

Cast: Richard Dormer, Jodie Whittaker, Dylan Moran, Andrew 

Simpson, Adrian Dunbar. 

Begrudgingly accepting the title of Ulster’s Godfather of 

Punk, Terri Hooley was responsible for discovering The 

Undertones and, through his Good Vibrations record shop 

and label, along with the gigs he promoted, he enabled 

alternative music to be heard and to flourish in Belfast 

during the darkest days of Northern Ireland’s Troubles. His 

self-promoted legend is a wild mix of naivety, a refusal to 

compromise and a deep love for rock’n’roll, and it is vividly 

bought to the screen in this biopic from filmmakers Lisa 

Barros D’Sa and Glenn Leyburn. 

Good Vibrations evokes 1970s Belfast avoiding clichés and 

angst, and its fine cast, led by Richard Dormer as Hooley, 

is wonderfully committed. In celebrating the music of the 

time, the film dares to make an unfashionable case that 

pop music matters, that it can change lives, that it can 

be transcendent. It celebrates Hooley as truly heroic for 

making that same case all his life. (Michael Hayden, LFF 

programme) 

In the House Dans la maison 

Showing until Thu 18 Apr 

François Ozon • France 2012 • 1h45m 

Digital projection • French with English subtitles 

15 – Contains strong language and sex and a scene of hanging 

Cast: Fabrice Luchini, Ernst Umhauer, Kristin Scott Thomas, 

Emmanuelle Seigner, Denis Ménochet. 

François Ozon follows the glorious camp of Potiche with 

this superbly controlled, coolly ironic adaptation of Juan 

Mayorga’s play ‘The Boy in the Last Row’. 

High-school literature teacher Germain (Fabrice Luchini) 

lives a beige, repetitive life; his despair at the state of 

contemporary education has given way to apathy and he is 

barely conscious of his curator wife’s (Kristin Scott Thomas) 

boredom. Unexpectedly, he discovers a student in his class 

whose compelling sense of prose and voyeuristic eye for 

detail stir his long dormant enthusiasm for his work. The 

daring and talented Claude (Ernst Umhauer) inveigles his 

way into the lives of a petit-bourgeois family, developing 

a particular fascination with the mother (Emmanuelle 

Seigner), and serialises his encounters in essay form 

under the increasingly voracious guidance of Germain. As 

Claude’s incursions become more audacious, the ground 

imperceptibly shifts, and the borders between reality and 

fiction become indistinguishable. 

Both a knowing ode to the art of storytelling and a 

scathing class critique, In the House sees Ozon return 

to the territory of Water Drops on Burning Rocks and 

Swimming Pool, not only in the precision of his form, but 

also in his flagrant admiration for the disruptive intruder 

with ambiguous desires. (Clare Stewart, LFF programme) 

A Late Quartet 

Fri 5 to Thu 25 Apr 

Yaron Zilberman • USA 2012 • 1h46m 

Digital projection • 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 

(and potentially explosive) 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 

– and what his legacy will be. The marriage between second 

violinist Robert (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and violist Juliette 

(Catherine Keener) goes suddenly south when infidelity 

rears its head; while brilliant, headstrong and steel-willed 

first violinist Daniel (Mark Ivanir), already engaged in a 

battle over first chair with Robert, brings tensions to a boil 

when he falls into the arms of Robert and Juliette’s beautiful 

young daughter Alexandra (Imogen Poots). 

As the ensemble’s ageing patriarch, Walken has never been 

better, brilliantly etching Peter’s turbulent indecision and, 

finally, clear-eyed resolve about the right path to take. 

Not to be outdone, the rest of the cast rise to Walken’s 

challenge, and Zilberman never missteps, guiding us 

gracefully through those painful inevitabilities of ageing 

and change that contrast so movingly with the timeless 

beauty of music.

NEIGHBOURING SOUNDS CAESAR MUST DIE LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED 

NEWRELEASE 

Neighbouring Sounds 

O som ao redor 


Kleber Mendonça Filho • Brazil 2012 • 2h11m • Digital projection 

Portuguese, English and Mandarin with English subtitles 

15 – Contains strong language, sex, and nudity 

Cast: Irma Brown, Sebastião Formiga, Gustavo Jahn, Maeve 

Jinkings, Dida Maia. 

A dazzling ensemble drama, Neighbouring Sounds is 

set among a handful of residents in a middle-class street 

in the northern Brazilian city of Recife. Focusing on the 

appearance of a gang of private security guards who offer 

householders the promise of protection, writer-director 

Kleber Mendonça Filho offers revealing fragments of a 

society frayed by paranoia. A young man wakes up to 

find his girlfriend’s car has been broken into. A mother 

struggles to sleep, disturbed by the barking of guard dogs 

next door. An ageing patriarch seeks refuge from the 

tumult of the ever-changing city in the rural peace of his 

one-time plantation hideaway. The results thrillingly defy 

categorisation, but what emerges under Filho’s precise, 

quietly virtuoso direction is a film of novelistic richness 

and sly provocation; a kind of urban horror story about 

the fear of violence that ripples under the fragile poise of 

everyday middle-class life in Brazil. One thing’s for sure: this 

is a directorial debut of astonishing assurance. (Edward 

Lawrenson, LFF programme) 

NEWRELEASE 

Caesar Must Die Cesare deve morire 

Fri 19 to Mon 22 Apr 

Paolo Taviani & Vittorio Taviani • Italy 2012 • 1h16m 

Digital projection • Italian with English subtitles 

12A – Contains one use of strong language 

Cast: Cosimo Rega, Salvatore Striano, Giovanni Arcuri, Antonio 

Frasca, Juan Dario Bonetti. 

Winner of the Golden Bear at the 2012 Berlinale, Paolo and 

Vittorio Taviani’s Caesar Must Die deftly melds narrative and 

documentary in a transcendently powerful drama-withina-drama. 

The film was made in Rome’s Rebibbia Prison, where 

the inmates are preparing to stage Shakespeare’s ‘Julius 

Caesar’. After a competitive casting process, the roles are 

eventually allocated, and the prisoners begin exploring 

the text, finding in its tale of fraternity, power and betrayal 

parallels to their own lives and stories. 

Hardened criminals, many with links to organised crime, 

these actors find great motivation in performing the play. 

As we witness the rehearsals, beautifully photographed 

in various nooks and crannies within the prison, we see 

the inmates also work through their own conflicts, both 

internal and between each other. 

NEWRELEASE 

Love Is All You Need Den skaldede frisør 

Fri 19 Apr to Thu 2 May 

Susanne Bier • Denmark/Sweden/Italy/France/Germany 2012 

1h56m • Digital projection 

Danish, English and Italian with English subtitles 

15 – Contains strong language 

Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Trine Dyrholm, Kim Bodnia, Paprika Steen, 

Sebastian Jessen. 

Pierce Brosnan, Trine Dyrholm and Paprika Steen star in this 

sparkling romantic comedy from Academy Award® winner 

Susanne Bier (Brothers, In a Better World), about two very 

different families brought together for a wedding in a 

beautiful old Italian villa. 

Returning from her final, successful chemotherapy 

treatment, Ida (Dyrholm) arrives home only to find her 

boorish husband in a compromising position with a ditzy 

co-worker. Stricken, she takes off to Sorrento alone to 

attend the wedding of her daughter Astrid to Patrick. Also 

attending is Patrick’s no-nonsense father Philip (Brosnan), 

a dashing but brooding widower who seems less than 

pleased with his life, his son, and his soon-to-be in-laws. 

When the young couple’s future happiness is suddenly 

jeopardised, Ida and Philip are brought together to try to 

set things right – and find that life might have a second 

chance in store for them as well. 

“Love Is All You Need has been made for an audience 

rarely catered for by the film industry: intelligent adults 

who enjoy perceptive and good-hearted drama.” - Robbie 

Collin, The Telegraph

THE GATEKEEPERS LORE STOKER 

NEWRELEASE 

The Gatekeepers 


Dror Moreh • Israel/France/Germany/Belgium 2012 • 1h41m 

Digital projection • English and Hebrew with English subtitles 

15 – Contains images of real dead bodies • Documentary 

The Gatekeepers tells the story of the Shin Bet, perhaps the 

most active and certainly the most secretive of Israel’s security 

forces, and it tells it from the perspectives of its leaders who, 

more than anyone, received the trust of the country’s political 

elites. In a series of candid interviews, six former heads of 

the Shin Bet talk openly about the major events that marked 

their tenures, and muse about the morality of torture and 

terrorism, arrests and assassinations. The citizens they swore 

to protect may have been safer as a result of their actions, but 

was the country any closer to peace? 

If Israel lies at the heart of the global War on Terror, the 

Gatekeepers’ confessions challenge the conventional 

wisdom of how that war should be waged, whether in Gaza 

or Guantanamo, Palestine or Pakistan. Theirs is the ultimate 

cautionary tale of what happens to people and nations 

alike when they try to answer violence with violence. 

After the 6.00pm screening on Tuesday 30 April 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.

Lore 


Cate Shortland • Germany/Australia/UK 2012 • 1h49m 

Digital projection • German with English subtitles 

15 – Contains gory images, brief strong sex and nudity 

Cast: Saskia Rosendahl, Nele Trebs, André Frid, Mika Seidel, 

Kai-Peter Malina. 

The long-awaited follow-up to her exquisite Somersault, 

Australian director Cate Shortland’s adaptation of the 

novel ‘The Dark Room’ by Rachel Seiffert is a sensual and 

complex story that explores the tribulations faced by the 

young in the aftermath of World War II. 

When their Nazi SS parents are taken into Allied custody, 

five siblings are left to fend for themselves. Teenager Lore, 

the oldest, takes charge, and the children set out to join 

their grandmother in Hamburg, some 900 km away. Along 

the arduous journey, the children encounter a populace 

suffering from postwar denial and deprivation, and for the 

first time are exposed to the reality and consequences 

of their parents’ actions. With food hard to come by, and 

the journey becoming ever more dangerous, the children 

meet Thomas, a young Jewish survivor who helps them 

negotiate their way through tricky situations. Lore is both 

repulsed by and attracted to Thomas. All that she has been 

taught leads her to believe that he is the enemy, but his 

industriousness, generosity and physicality prove alluring. 

A coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of a 

changing world, Lore shows new life emerging out of 

darkness, and does so with great intelligence and subtlety.

After India’s (Mia Wasikowska’s) father dies in a car accident, 

her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), who she never

unstable mother Evelyn (Nicole Kidman). Soon after 

his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious,

RESTOREDCLASSIC 

Point Blank 

Thu 18 to Sun 21 Apr 

John Boorman • USA 1967 • 1h32m • 35mm • 15 

Cast: Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, Carroll 

O’Connor, Lloyd Bochner. 

One of the best, toughest, and most grimly cold-blooded 

mystery noirs Hollywood has given us. Lee Marvin’s 

bullet-headed gangster is an anachronism from the 50s 

transported to the LA and San Francisco of the 60s, a world 

of concrete slabs and menacing vertical lines. Doublecrossed 

and left to die, Marvin comes back from the dead 

to claim his share of the money from the mysterious 

Organization, only to become increasingly puzzled and 

frustrated when he finds there is no money. 

Dazzling, sexy and unsettling, with a powerful and 

mesmerising central performance from Marvin. 

Screening from a beautiful new 35mm print. 


Madame de... 

Tue 23 to Thu 25 Apr 

Max Ophüls • France/Italy 1953 • 1h40m 

Digital projection • French with English subtitles 

U – Contains no material likely to offend or harm 

Cast: Charles Boyer, Danielle Darrieux, Vittorio De Sica, Jean 

Debucourt, Jean Galland. 

For many, this piercingly poignant fin-de-siècle romance, 

with its dark but exquisitely delicate sense of irony, is the 

very finest of what David Thomson has called Max Ophüls’ 

‘amusing tragedies’. 

When, beset by debt, the titular Countess Louise (Danielle 

Darrieux) decides to sell a pair of earrings that were a 

wedding gift from her husband André (Charles Boyer), she 

unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will have 

serious consequences not only for the Parisian couple 

but for André’s mistress and for an Italian Baron (Vittorio 

De Sica) who purchases the, by then, much-travelled 

jewellery. This being an Ophüls film, the camera is likewise 

in constant motion, at once following the characters as a 

discreet but sympathetic observer and revealing how they 

are all constrained, even trapped by social convention, 

money and their own various deceits and desires. 

The lightly nuanced performances, the marvellously 

detailed sets and the elegant artifice of the plotting never 

distract from the fundamental seriousness of Ophüls’ 

searing study of fateful passion. A film of unassuming but 

enduring greatness; newly restored. (Geoff Andrew, BFI) 

Screening in a new digital restoration. 


On the Waterfront 

Mon 29 Apr to Thu 2 May 

Elia Kazan • USA 1954 • 1h48m • Digital projection • PG 

Cast: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J Cobb, Rod Steiger, Eva 

Marie Saint. 

A tour de force for director Elia Kazan, star Marlon Brando 

and cinematographer Boris Kaufman, On the Waterfront is 

a gritty, no-holds-barred drama about the corruption-filled 

New York docks and the dock workers’ struggle to make a 

living under the control of corrupt unions. 

Lee J Cobb is gangster union boss Johnny Friendly, and 

Rod Steiger his crooked lawyer, Charley Malloy. Charley’s 

brother, Terry (Brando), a former boxer, hangs around the 

docks and runs errands for Johnny, who gives handouts 

to those who do his bidding. Already a has-been as a 

young man, Terry keeps pigeons on a rooftop and dreams 

about his days as an promising fighter. He meets Edie (Eva 

Marie Saint), whose brother was murdered by Johnny’s 

henchmen, and she introduces him to Father Barry (Karl 

Malden), who tries to persuade Terry to provide the crime 

commission with information that will smash the dock 

racketeers. 

Brando is spectacular as the ex-fighter who finds his 

conscience and risks his life for his newfound principles, 

and Kazan sets every scene with menace and suspense.

THEOREM LIAF ANIMATION FOR KIDS (7+) A CAT IN PARIS 


Theorem Teorema 

Tue 30 Apr to Thu 2 May 

Pier Paolo Pasolini • Italy 1968 • 1h38m 

Digital projection • Italian and English with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Silvana Mangano, Terence Stamp, Massimo Girotti, Anne 

Wiazemsky, Laura Betti. 

In Theorem, Pasolini achieved his most perfect fusion 

of Marxism and religion with a film that is both political 

allegory and mystical fable. Terence Stamp plays the 

mysterious Christ or Devil figure who stays briefly with a 

wealthy Italian family, seducing them one by one, starting 

with the mother (Silvana Mangano). He then goes as 

quickly as he had come, leaving their lives in ruins. 

What would be pretentious and strained in the hands 

of most directors, with Pasolini takes on an intense air of 

magical revelation, in fact, the superficially improbable plot 

retains all the logic and certainty of a detective story. 

Screening in a new digital restoration. 

The 8.45pm screening on Tuesday 30 April will be 

introduced by Dr Pasquale Iannone.

35mm • U – Contains very mild comic violence 

Cast: Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, Gert Fröbe,

looms, however, in the form of Baron Bomburst, the 

monarch of a small but wealthy principality who hates 

children. The baron is after the magical car and wants the 

vehicle and its inventor kidnapped...

My Left Foot 


Jim Sheridan • Ireland/UK 1989 • 1h43m • 35mm • 15 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Brenda Fricker, Ray McAnally, Hugh 

O’Conor, Fiona Shaw. 

Daniel Day-Lewis won his first Oscar for his brilliant 

performance in this remarkable film, based on the 

autobiography of Christy Brown, who overcame severe 

physical limitations to become an accomplished painter 

and writer. The film describes the extraordinary arc 

of Brown’s life, starting with a childhood in which his 

debilitating cerebral palsy causes everyone but his mother 

to believe he is brain-damaged. Brown begins to shatter 

this perception by using his left foot and a piece of chalk to 

scrawl a one-word message to his mother on the floor. 

My Beautiful Laundrette 

Wed 17 Apr at 8.30pm 

Stephen Frears • UK 1985 • 1h37m • Digital projection • 15 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Gordon Warnecke, Saeed Jaffrey, Roshan 

Seth, Shirley Anne Field. 

Omar (Gordon Warnecke) is sent by his widower father 

to work for his adulterous wheeler-dealer uncle (Saeed 

Jaffrey). Omar grasps the opportunity to manage his 

uncle’s dilapidated laundrette with the intention of turning 

it into a glittering palace of commercial success. When he 

employs boyhood friend and ex-National Front member 

Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis) they become lovers as well 

as working partners. However, complications soon arise, 

as the anger of Johnny’s discarded fascist gang begins 

to build and Omar is forced to face increasingly difficult 

family issues. 

The Ballad of Jack and Rose 

Tue 23 Apr at 8.40pm 

Rebecca Miller • USA 2005 • 1h52m • 35mm 

15 – Contains strong language and sex references 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Camilla Belle, Catherine Keener, Ryan 

McDonald, Paul Dano. 

Writer and director Rebecca Miller (daughter of Arthur and 

wife of Day-Lewis) takes us to a fading hippy commune 

in the mid-1980s to examine the dying idealism of the 

1960s and its effect on two people, the titular father and 

daughter (Day-Lewis and Camilla Belle). Jack and Rose are 

the only two inhabitants left on a communal plot of land 

on an island somewhere off the east coast of America. But 

the status quo is soon to be shaken: Jack is dying, so he 

asks his more worldly lover Kathleen (Catherine Keener) 

and her two teenage sons to come and live with them. 

This jolt to their sheltered existence shocks both him and 

Rose into accepting long-suppressed or undiscovered 

issues relating to their identity, sexuality and futures.

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS LINCOLN 

The Age of Innocence 

Thu 25 Apr at 6.10pm 

Martin Scorsese • USA 1993 • 2h18m • 35mm • PG 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder, Richard E 

Grant, Geraldine Chaplin. 

Adapting an Edith Wharton best-seller might have seemed 

a strange choice for Martin Scorsese, but he loved the 

book and transferred it to the screen virtually unchanged. 

Set in 19th-century New York, The Age of Innocence 

centres on lawyer Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis), who 

becomes engaged to the beautiful but dull May Welland 

(Winona Ryder). His life is soon thrown into turmoil by his 

fiancee’s seductive older cousin, Ellen Olenska (Michelle 

Pfeiffer), seemingly a woman of ill repute. 

In the Name of the Father 

Fri 26 Apr at 6.10pm 

Jim Sheridan • Ireland/UK/USA 1993 • 2h13m • 35mm • 15 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Pete Postlethwaite, Emma Thompson, 

John Lynch, Corin Redgrave. 

The My Left Foot team of star Daniel Day-Lewis and 

director Jim Sheridan reunited to make this political 

docudrama about Gerry Conlon (Day-Lewis), who was 

wrongly convicted of taking part in a 1974 IRA bombing 

that killed five. After a brutal interrogation forces him to 

sign a false confession, Gerry is sentenced to prison, his 

family persecuted, and later his father Giuseppe (Pete 

Postelthwaite) is charged with being an accomplice and 

is also sent to prison. Day-Lewis gives an outstanding 

performance as a man tormented by the injustice served 

him, and Emma Thompson is brilliant as the persevering 

lawyer who works for years, gathering evidence to clear 

Gerry’s name. 

A Room with a View 


James Ivory • UK 1985 • 1h57m • 35mm 

PG – Contains infrequent moderate violence and mild sex 

Cast: Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter, Denholm Elliott, 

Julian Sands, Daniel Day-Lewis. 

Adapted by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala from the novel by 

EM Forster, A Room with a View is a shining example of 

Merchant-Ivory’s ability to achieve maximum quality and 

opulence at minimum cost. Sheltered Lucy Honeychurch 

(Helena Bonham Carter), holidaying in Florence with her 

spinster chaperone Charlotte (Maggie Smith), is kissed 

by unconventional George Emerson (Julian Sands). 

Frightened by her confusing feelings for him, she returns 

to England and accepts a marriage proposal from stuffy 

Cecil Vyse (Daniel Day-Lewis). When George reappears, she 

questions her feelings for Cecil. 

The Last of the Mohicans 

Mon 29 Apr at 6.10pm 

Michael Mann • USA 1992 • 1h54m • 35mm 

15 – Contains bloody violence and intense battle scenes 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means. 

In 1757, while the French and British are fighting for 

control over North America, Cora Munro (Madeleine 

Stowe) and her younger sister Alice (Jodhi May), daughters 

of a British colonel, are rescued from an Indian attack by 

the Colonial-born, Mohican-raised Englishman Hawkeye 

(Daniel Day-Lewis). Love soon blooms between Hawkeye 

and Cora, but their future is threatened by the French’s 

continued assaults on the unstable fort, Colonel Munro’s 

distrust of Hawkeye, and the bloodthirsty Huron tribe led 

by the vengeful warrior Magua. 

Lincoln 

Sun 5 May at 1.00pm 

Steven Spielberg • USA/India 2012 • 2h30m • Digital projection 

12A – Contains infrequent moderate war violence, gore and 

strong language 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph 

Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Tommy Lee Jones. 

Steven Spielberg directs Daniel Day-Lewis in a revealing 

drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous 

final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the 

strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action 

designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish 

slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination 

to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will 

change the fate of generations to come. 

The Crucible 

Wed 8 May at 5.45pm 

Nicholas Hytner • USA 1996 • 2h3m • 35mm • 12A 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder, Paul Scofield, Joan Allen. 

Written in the midst of the McCarthy era as a thinly veiled 

attack on the Communist witch hunts in the US, Arthur 

Miller’s play has emerged as a timeless commentary on the 

evil that men (and women) do – especially in the name 

of righteousness and religion. Set in the Salem of 1692, 

the film finds Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder) triggering a 

mass hysteria in which accusations of witchcraft result in 

the execution of innocent people; among those targeted 

by the moral minority are farmer John Proctor (Daniel Day- 

Lewis) and his wife Elizabeth (Joan Allen). 

SEASON CONTINUES OVERLEAF

12 Daniel Day-Lewis: Presented by Drambuie (continued) 

THE CRUCIBLE GANGS OF NEW YORK THERE WILL BE BLOOD 

Gangs of New York 


Martin Scorsese • USA/Italy 2002 • 2h48m • 35mm 

18 – Contains strong, bloody violence 

Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis, Cameron Diaz, Jim 

Broadbent, John C Reilly. 

The violent rise of gangland power in New York City 

at a time of massive political corruption and the city’s 

evolution into a cultural melting pot set the stage for this 

lavish historical epic, which director Martin Scorsese finally 

brought to the screen almost 30 years after he first began 

to plan the project. 

In 1846, as waves of Irish immigrants poured into the New 

York neighbourhood of Five Points, citizens of British and 

Dutch heritage who were born in the United States began 

making an open display of their resentment toward the 

new arrivals. William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), better 

known as ‘Bill the Butcher’ for his deadly skill with a knife, 

bands his fellow ‘Native Americans’ into a gang to take on 

the Irish immigrants; the immigrants in turn form a gang 

of their own, ‘The Dead Rabbits’, organised by Priest Vallon 

(Liam Neeson). After an especially bloody clash between 

the Natives and the Rabbits leaves Vallon dead, his son 

goes missing; the boy ends up in a brutal reform school 

before returning to the Five Points in 1862 as Amsterdam 

(Leonardo DiCaprio), bent on revenge. 

There Will Be Blood 


Paul Thomas Anderson • USA 2007 • 2h38m • 35mm 

15 – Contains strong violence 

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J O’Connor, Ciaran 

Hinds, Dillon Freasier. 

Day-Lewis won his second Oscar for his astonishing and 

terrifying portrayal of a turn-of-the-century California oil 

man, in Paul Thomas Anderson’s magnificently strange 

character study. When Daniel Plainview gets a mysterious 

tip-off that there’s a little town out West where an ocean 

of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads there with his 

son, HW, to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. 

In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement 

centres around the Holy Roller church of charismatic 

preacher Eli Sunday, Plainview and HW make their lucky 

strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, 

nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and 

every human value – love, hope, community, belief, 

ambition, and even the bond between father and son – is 

imperilled by corruption, deception, and the flow of oil.

DORMANT BEAUTY ME AND YOU THE WAR OF THE VOLCANOES 

Benvenuti to the 20th edition of the Italian 

Film Festival, curated by Allan Hunter and 

Richard Mowe and funded by the Istituto 

Italiano di Cultura di Edimburgo and the 

Consolato Generale d’Italia, the cultural services

cinema, including comedies, dramas, thrillers and 

classics from award-winning directors and actors, 

many of whom such as Silvio Soldini, Paolo Virzi,

this edition is a special focus on Roberto Rossellini 

and the films he made starring Ingrid Bergman,

Dormant Beauty Bella addormentata 


Marco Bellocchio • Italy/France 2012 • 1h50m • Digital projection 

Italian, French and Latin with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Toni Servillo, Isabelle Huppert, Alba Rohrwacher, Michele 

Riondino, Maya Sansa. 

The case of Eluana Englaro became a lightning rod for the 

debate about euthanasia in Italy. Englaro was injured in a 

car accident and spent seventeen years in a vegetative state 

as her father fought a legal battle to end her life. Marco 

Bellocchio’s complex, compelling feature explores the case 

and its implications through three fictional stories: a senator 

grapples with his conscience before a parliamentary vote 

on the right to life; a devoutly Catholic actress abandons her 

career to care for her stricken child; and a methadone addict 

begs to end her life as a doctor strives to sustain it.

Cast: Tea Falco, Jacopo Olmo Antinori, Sonia Bergamasco. 

Lorenzo is a troubled 14-year-old who decides to skip a 

week-long school ski trip and hole up alone in the family’s 

storage basement. However, Lorenzo’s dream of a week of 

solitary escape is interrupted by the unexpected appearance 

of his half-sister Olivia, who discovers his hideout. Though 

Olivia vows to keep Lorenzo’s secret safe, she also brings a 

new set of complications into this strange situation: she is a 

junkie who’s decided it’s time to go cold turkey. 

The IFF is grateful to Artificial Eye for their help with this 

preview screening. 

DOUBLE BILL 


The War of the Volcanoes 

Francesco Patierno • Italy • 2012 • 52m • Digibeta 

Italian with English subtitles • 15 • Documentary 

More than 60 years ago the rugged Aeolian Islands 

became the unlikely backdrop to a showbusiness scandal. 

Roberto Rossellini arrived to make Stromboli with Oscarwinning 

Hollywood star Ingrid Bergman. At the same 

time on the neighbouring island of Panarea, William 

Dieterle was making Volcano with Rossellini’s former lover 

Anna Magnani. During the course of filming Stromboli, 

the married Bergman fell deeply in love with Rossellini 

and became pregnant with his child. The whole tangled 

episode is told in a documentary that makes expert use of 

gorgeous archive footage and contrasts the fiery Magnani 

with the cool Nordic stoicism of Bergman. 

PLUS 

Stromboli 

Roberto Rossellini • Italy/USA • 1950 • 1h47m • DCP • PG 

Cast: Ingrid Bergman, Mario Vitale, Renzo Cesana, Mario Sponzo. 

The first of Rossellini’s Voyage Trilogy, Stromboli also marks 

the beginning of his personal and professional relationship 

with Ingrid Bergman. She plays Karin, a Lithuanian 

refugee who marries a fisherman in order to escape from 

an internment camp. But married life amidst the harsh 

landscapes and suffocating attitudes of the volcanic island 

Stromboli proves to be another kind of imprisonment. 

Stromboli has often been seen in crudely truncated and 

revised versions that dilute the power of the original. Now 

digitally restored by the Cineteca Di Bologna as part of 

their Rossellini Project, it can be savoured in its full glory.

EVERY BLESSED DAY 

JOURNEY TO ITALY 

THE COMMANDER AND THE STORK 

Every Blessed Day Tutti i santi giorni 


Paolo Virzì • Italy 2012 • 1h42m 

Digital projection • Italian with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Thony, Luca Marinelli, Micol Azzurro, Claudio Pallitto. 

Paulo Virzi’s delightful romantic comedy has been a huge 

box-office hit in Italy and helped to establish Luca Marinelli 

as one of the country’s rising stars. Marinelli plays Guido, 

a shy, unassuming intellectual who who works as a night 

porter in Rome. He is besotted with Antonia, a restless, 

unpredictable young woman who dreams of becoming a 

singer and works for a car rental company. Jobs and lifestyles 

mean they only see each other early in the morning as 

Guido returns from work and prepares a breakfast. They are a 

perfectly happy couple until they decide that the one thing 

that would make their lives complete is a baby... 

The Interval L’intervallo 


Leonardo di Costanzo • Italy/Switzerland/Germany 2012 

1h20m • Digital projection • Italian with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Salvatore Ruocco, Francesca Riso, Alessio Gallo. 

Salvatore is a chubby teenager who sells lemon ices from 

a street cart. One day he is ordered to keep watch over 

rebellious teenager Veronica who is being held captive in 

an abandoned school. We are not sure what she has done 

or what fate lies in store for her. Over the course of a single 

day, the resentment between them fades as they explore 

the building, share confidences and try to figure out what 

options are left to them. The atmospheric location and 

heartfelt performances help create a beguiling portrait of 

a contemporary Italy where predatory forces constantly 

hover at the fringes of ordinary people’s daily lives. 

Journey to Italy Viaggio in Italia 


Roberto Rossellini • Italy/France 1954 • 1h37m 

Digital projection • English and Italian with English subtitles 

PG – Contains mild sex references 

Cast: Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders, Maria Mauban, Anna 

Proclemer, Paul Muller. 

Misunderstood and widely dismissed at the time of its 

release 60 years ago, Journey to Italy has grown in stature 

over the decades. Conceived and filmed in utter chaos, it is 

a strikingly modern portrait of a marriage in crisis. 

Katherine (Ingrid Bergman) and her husband Alex (George 

Sanders) are an English couple who have driven to Naples to 

view a villa left to her by her late uncle. There is a brooding, 

uncomfortable silence between them in which neither can 

identify or articulate the sense of discontent niggling away at 

the foundations of their marriage. The idea of breaking free 

from each other is fraught with danger and excitement. The 

possibility of remaining together is a daunting challenge. 

The film has been beautifully restored by Cineteca di 

Bologna prior to a UK cinema re-release by the BFI in May.

The Commander and the Stork 

Il comandante e la cicogna 


Silvio Soldini • Italy/Switzerland/France 2012 • 1h48m 

Digibeta • Italian with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Claudia Gerini, Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, 

Luca Zingaretti, Valerio Mastandrea. 

The latest delight from Bread and Tulips director Silvio 

Soldini is a magic realist romp with a serious concerns 

about the state of the nation. Widowed plumber Leo 

is trying to make some sense of his life as he struggles 

to deal with distracting visions of his late wife and the 

growing pains of his teenage daughter and oddball son. 

Meeting penniless artist Diana and her eccentric landlord 

Amanzio was definitely not part of his plans. 

This thoughtful, touching fable unfolds under the stern 

gaze of a statue of Garibaldi mounted on a horse. Garibaldi 

adds his own rueful reflections on modern Italy and the 

chaotic lives of the people who pass beneath him. 

This screening is supported by the Embassy of Switzerland 

in the United Kingdom. 

SEASON CONTINUES OVERLEAF

18 Italian Film Festival (continued) 

PIAZZA FONTANA: THE ITALIAN CONSPIRACY THE IMMATURE – THE TRIP THE RED AND THE BLUE 

Piazza Fontana: The Italian Conspiracy 

Romanzo di una strage 


Marco Tullio Giordana • Italy/France 2012 • 2h1m 


Cast: Valerio Mastadrea, Pierfrancesco Favino, Michela Cescon. 

Marco Tullio Giordana (The Best of Youth) delivers a 

meticulously staged and gripping drama based on 

a real life story. An explosion at the Banca Nazionale 

dell’Agricoltura in Milan in 1969 resulted in 17 deaths 

and injured dozens more. The protests sweeping Europe 

and the fear of communism led the police to focus 

their investigations on anarchist groups. But the Police 

Commissioner is convinced it’s not that simple. Intriguingly 

complicated and politically nuanced, Piazza Fontana is an 

ever-twisting conspiracy of lies, intrigue and dirty politics. 

S.B.: I Knew Him Well 

S.B.: Io lo conoscevo bene 


Giacomo Durzi & Giovanni Fasanella • Italy 2012 • 1h14m 

Digibeta • Italian with English subtitles • 12A • Documentary 

How did a former cruise ship entertainer become one of 

the most dominant figures in Italian public life over the 

past 30 years? Giacomo Durzi and Giovanni Pasanella’s 

documentary doesn’t take the easy option of rounding 

up his critics and mercilessly satirising Silvio Berlusconi. 

Instead, it takes him seriously, genuinely seeking to 

understand the Berlusconi phenomenon through an 

intimate portrait of his life and times told in the words of 

those who have know him best. 

Slow Food Story 


Stefano Sardo • Italy 2013 • 1h14m 

Format TBC • Italian with English subtitles • 12A • Documentary 

Recent stories about the food industry have alarmed 

consumers and left them increasingly wary of mass 

produced, so-called convenience meals. More than twentyfive 

years ago, Carlo Petrini was at the forefront of a protest 

against the opening of a McDonald’s restaurant in Rome. It 

was the beginning of a movement that is now active in more 

than 150 countries, a movement that believes in the joy of 

good local ingredients, treated with respect. Stefano Sardo’s 

documentary is a love letter to the Slow Food Movement. 

Fear La paura 


Roberto Rossellini • West Germany/Italy 1954 • 1h24m • 16mm 

German with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Ingrid Bergman, Mathias Wieman, Renate Mannhardt. 

It is impossible not to see elements of autobiography in 

the final collaboration between Roberto Rossellini and 

Ingrid Bergman. A tale of a marriage in crisis, soured by 

guilt and betrayal, it has inevitable parallels with the state 

of their own crumbling union. Based on a story by Stefan 

Zweig, Fear tells of a husband who becomes aware of his 

wife’s infidelity. The threat of exposure and the possibility 

of blackmail may tempt her towards a full confession, or 

may well push her into a corner from which suicide seems 

an increasingly attractive proposition. Rossellini saw Fear 

as a film about post-War Germany and the way material 

reconstruction had masked the need for a moral solution 

to the nation’s legacy of shame and guilt. 

Screening introduced by Dr Pasquale Iannone. 

The Immature – The Trip 

Immaturi – Il viaggio 


Paolo Genovese • Italy 2012 • 1h40m 

35mm • Italian with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Anita Caprioli, Ambra Angiolini, Raoul Bova, Barbora 

Bobulova, Luca Bizzarri. 

The star-studded sequel to Paolo Genovese’s smash hit 

comedy The Immature (a festival favourite in 2012) takes 

the reunited schoolfriends on a sun-kissed holiday to 

the gorgeous Greek island of Paros. It’s a time to relax, 

renew old acquaintance and just take pleasure in each 

other’s company. Well, that’s the plan anyway. A mixture 

of treacherous tequila, lethal watermelons, unexpected 

appearances from ex-girlfriends, guilty secrets and 

hidden tragedy test the ties of friendship to the limit in 

an appealing mixture of breezy comedy, beautiful picture 

postcard locations and surprising tenderness. 

The Red and the Blue Il rosso e il blu 


Giuseppe Piccioni • Italy 2012 • 1h40m 


Cast: Margherita Buy, Riccardo Scamarcio, Roberto Herlitzka. 

IFF favourite Giuseppe Piccioni (Light of My Eyes) returns with 

a typically wise and witty adaptation of the Marco Lodoli 

novel set in a Rome school. Nothing is more important than 

the education of a future generation but is such a thing 

even possible in an age of scarce resources, undisciplined, 

indifferent students and careworn teachers? The blackboard 

jungle is seen from the perspective of an idealistic supply 

teacher, a cynical, eccentric professor and a headmistress 

who cares more than she may be willing to admit.

Come and See.../New British Cinema Quarterly 

ENTER THE DRAGON THE EVIL DEAD FLYING BLIND 

Come and See... 

A monthly one-off screening of a great film 

we simply thought you might like to see, 

again or for the first time, on the big screen. 

Enter The Dragon 


Robert Clouse • Hong Kong/USA 1973 • 1h38m 

Digital projection • 18 

Cast: Bruce Lee, John Saxon, Jim Kelly, Ahna Capri, Kien Shih. 

A new digital restoration of one of the most popular 

kung fu films ever, rescheduled after we had to cancel 

our planned screening in February. 

Perhaps the peak of the famed Bruce Lee’s career, Enter 

the Dragon achieved success by presenting a series of 

superbly staged fighting sequences with a minimum of 

distractions. The story finds Lee as a martial-arts expert 

determined to help capture the narcotics dealer whose 

gang was responsible for his sister’s death. This evil villain 

operates from a fortified island manned by a team of 

crack martial artists, who also host a kung fu competition. 

Lee uses his skills to enter the contest and then tries to 

chop, kick, and otherwise fight his way into the dealer’s 

headquarters. 

The story is, of course, merely an excuse for showdown 

after showdown, featuring masterly fighting by Lee in a 

wide variety of martial arts styles. Essential viewing for 

martial arts fans, the film was also embraced by a larger 

audience, thanks to a fast pace and higher-than-usual 

production values. 

The Evil Dead (1981) 


Sam Raimi • USA 1981 • 1h25m • Digital projection • 18 

Cast: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard DeManincor, 

Betsy Baker, Theresa Tilly. 

This auspicious feature debut from Sam Raimi – shot on 

16mm in the woods of Tennessee for around $350,000 

– secured the young director’s cult status as a creative 

force to be reckoned with. 

The nominal plot involves five vacationing college 

kids making an unplanned stopover in an abandoned 

mountain cabin surrounded by impenetrable woods. 

Before settling in for the night, they come across 

an ancient-looking occult tome filled with dense 

hieroglyphics and macabre illustrations, a dagger 

fashioned from human bones, and a reel-to-reel tape 

recorder. The taped message, dictated by a professor 

of archaeology, describes the contents of the Sumerian 

‘Book of the Dead’, filled with incantations used to bring 

otherworldly demons to life, giving them license to 

possess the living. The message goes on to explain that 

those possessed by these demons can only be stopped 

by total bodily dismemberment. When played among 

the group later that evening, the professor’s recorded 

translations of the ritual chants traumatise the strangely 

prescient Shelly... and simultaneously release an ominous 

presence from the depths of the forest. 

Much copied but never bettered, this classic 80s horror is 

even scarier on the big screen!

Flying Blind 


Katarzyna Klimkiewicz • UK 2012 • 1h28m 

Digital projection • cert tbc 

Cast: Helen McCrory, Najib Oudghiri, Kenneth Cranham, Tristan 

Gemmill, Lorcan Cranitch. 

Frankie (Helen McCrory) is in her forties, single, ambitious 

and with a successful career in the aerospace industry 

designing surveillance drones for the military. She embarks 

on a passionate affair with Kahil, a French/Algerian 

aerospace student twenty years younger than her. But 

one day when she arrives at work she is detained by 

the security services: Kahil is a person of interest to MI5. 

Frankie’s well-ordered life starts to unravel in a welter 

of suspicion and prejudice, as she no longer knows 

whether to follow her passion or listen to the doubts that 

increasingly overwhelm her. 

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director 

Katarzyna Klimkiewicz.

THE DARK HOURS 

Dead by Dawn: 

The Prelude 

Dead by Dawn, Scotland’s International Horror 

Film Festival, celebrates its 20th anniversary this 

year, and to celebrate we’ve been showing a few of 

our favourite movies from previous editions. Here’s 

the final screening before the festival itself kicks off 

on 25 April! 

www.deadbydawn.co.uk 

The Dark Hours 


Paul Fox • Canada 2005 • 1h20m • Format TBC • 18 

Cast: Kate Greenhouse, Bruce McFee, Jeff Seymour, David Calderisi. 

On a weekend at their cabin, psychiatrist Dr Samantha 

Goodman, her husband and her sister get a surprise 

visit from one of Sam’s ex patients. Having had enough 

of having his head shrunk by the good doctor, Harlan’s 

purpose runs deeper than just a simple desire for revenge... 

While it’s possible to watch The Dark Hours strictly as 

a tense as hell thriller, there’s a lot more going on here 

than meets the eye. It manages to include explorations 

of infidelity, accountability, gender politics and modern 

psychiatry. Add in some beautiful moody cinematography, 

disconcerting sound design, a great supporting cast and 

an ambiguous and thought provoking finale, and you’ve 

got a rarity – a smart, harrowing film relying (mostly) on 

nuance and intelligence to make you squirm. 

MODUS ANOMALI 

Scotland’s International Horror Film Festival

EVIL DEAD II 

Dead Shadows 

David Cholewa • France 2012 • 1h15m 

French with English subtitles • 18 

Cast: Fabian Wolfrom, John Fallon, Blandine Marmigère. 

A Parisian IT tech who’s scared of the dark has the worst 

night of his life when a mysterious comet causes all the 

lights to go out... 

Modus Anomali 

Joko Anwar • Indonesia 2012 • 1h27m • 18 

Cast: Rio Dewanto, Hannah Al Rashid, Aridh Trimata, Izzi Isman. 

A man wakes up in a shallow grave and uncovers evidence 

of a brutal murder. He doesn’t know where or who he is, 

or why he’s been buried in the forest, but all sorts of grisly 

little clues start to pop up... 

The Last Will and Testament of 

Rosalind Leigh 

Rodrigo Gudiño • Canada 2012 • 1h22m • 18 

Cast: Aaron Poole, Vanessa Redgrave, Julian Richings. 

Leon, an antiques collector, inherits a house that belonged 

to his mother, a member of a mysterious cult that 

worshipped angels – a cult that may have indirectly lead 

to her death. 

Evil Dead II 

Sam Raimi • USA 1987 • 1h24m • No dialogue • 15 

Cast: Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, Dan Hicks. 

Reading from the Book of the Dead has unleashed an 

onslaught of demons, and our hero Ash (the one and only 

Bruce Campbell) finds himself stuck in a cabin fighting 

against the forces of evil.

THE HOUSE 

Made in Prague 

Now in its 4th year, Made in Prague, the new 

Czech cinema UK tour, showcases the best of 

contemporary Czech films. These four awardwinning 

features demonstrate the vibrancy 

of Czech cinema, departing from the gentle 

and understated observations of the past 

to provide a strong commentary on social 

and political issues, heralding the arrival of 

assured new filmmakers not afraid to tackle 

challenging subjects.

ALOIS NEBEL 

The House Dum 


Zuzana Liová • Czech Republic/Slovakia 2011 • 1h40m 

Digital projection • Slovak and Czech with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Judit Bárdos, Miroslav Krobot, Marian Mitas, Tatjana 

Medvecká, Lucia Jasková. 

Eva lives with her parents in a village. She is finishing 

high school and dreams of moving to London, but 

doesn’t dare openly oppose her father Imrich, a gruff 

and uncompromising man who has his own ideas of 

the perfect family, and is building houses for each of his 

daughters on the family plot. All of this changes when Eva 

has an affair with a married man just before graduation. 

The House won the Krzysztof Kieslowski Award at the 

Cannes Film Festival. 

Long Live the Family! 

Rodina je základ státu 


Robert Sedlácek • Czech Republic 2011 • 1h46m 

Digital projection • Czech with English subtitles • 15 

Cast: Igor Chmela, Eva Vrbková, Jírí Vyorálek, Simona Babcáková, 

Albert Miksík. 

This critically acclaimed drama (which won the main 

award from Czech critics last year) centres on a business 

executive, a member of the nouveau riche, on the run from 

the police, masking his escape as a family trip. Director 

Robert Sedlácek is one of the loudest voices in Czech 

cinema commenting on current society, sometimes with 

the lightness of a satire, but often, as in this case, with a 

searingly straightforward critique. 

WALKING TOO FAST 

Alois Nebel 


Tomás Lunák • Czech Republic/Germany 2011 • 1h24m 


Cast: Miroslav Krobot, Marie Ludvíková, Karel Roden, Leos Noha. 

Director Lunak’s remarkably assured feature film debut has 

been praised for its visual accomplishment and sustained 

mood. Based on a gloomy graphic novel set in the zone 

along the Czech-German border known as the Sudetenland, 

the film uses rotoscoping to transfer live-action footage into 

a fully animated environment. A middle-aged loner who 

works as a train dispatcher finds solace in the regularity of 

the train schedule, even as he battles nightmares from the 

days following WWII. His agitation grows with the return 

of a mysterious mute, and the tumultuous atmosphere of 

communism’s collapse in 1989. 

Walking Too Fast Pouta 


Radim Spacek • Czech Republic/Slovakia 2009 • 2h26m 


Cast: Ondrej Maly, Kristína Farkasová, Martin Finger, Lubos 

Vesely, Lukás Latinák. 

A secret agent willfully uses his power to destroy the lives 

of those who oppose the 1980s Communist regime in 

this engaging thriller, the first of its kind since the Velvet 

Revolution. In depicting the grim reality and despair 

that pervaded Czech life at the time, the film reveals a 

commonality among its characters, who are all looking 

for an escape. The film took home every major award of 

the Czech Film Academy, as well as the newly established 

Czech critics awards in 2011.

shops struggling to keep afloat in the face of recession

Venkatesh is a self-contained teenage boy who works in 

a Goan hotel doing manual labour. As often as possible 

Venkatesh climbs a mango tree to observe an overgrown 

garden which surrounds a swimming pool, hidden behind 

a fence. The occupants of the house, an older man and his 

daughter, never swim in the pool, though the man sits in a 

chair contemplating the cool water. As the film progresses 

Venkatesh becomes enmeshed in the lives of the man and 

his daughter and, as he slowly gains their trust, he learns 

their secrets.

An achingly tender and sweetly funny coming-of-age 

movie, Tomboy tells the story of ten year-old Laure, who 

moves to a new Paris suburb with her family. It’s the 

summer holidays, and all the local kids are running riot 

around the neighbourhood. Boyish Laure, when first 

meeting with the gang, introduces herself as Michael. 

The other kids don’t even blink: Michael it is. And so the 

summer fun begins, with Laure, now Michael, doing 

everything she can to keep her new identity secret. But 

as the holidays draw to an end, and the threat of school 

looms, things start to get complicated.

produced in partnership with Drambuie. 

Drambuie’s support means Filmhouse can

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars 


DA Pennebaker • UK 1973 • 1h30m • Digibeta • PG • Documentary 

DA Pennebaker’s film of Bowie’s dazzling concert at 

the Hammersmith Odeon on 3 July 1973. Framed by a 

smattering of behind-the-scenes footage, the bulk of 

the film concerns the actual concert, notable as the final 

time that Bowie would perform under the Ziggy Stardust 

persona – an announcement that, at the time, led many 

fans to mistakenly believe Bowie was retiring altogether. 

This ‘final’ performance features numerous songs from 

Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane and other Bowie 

albums, as well as a cover of the Velvet Underground’s 

‘White Light/White Heat’. Unmissable on the big screen! 

Baal 


Alan Clarke • UK 1982 • 1h2m • Format TBC • 15 

Cast: David Bowie, Zoe Wanamaker, Jonathan Kent, Polly James. 

David Bowie stars as the titular anti-hero in this fine 

production, adapted from Brecht’s play by John Willet and 

Alan Clarke and filmed for BBC Television in 1982. Bowie 

is convincing as the womanising poet and delivers the 

show’s songs with the required blend of deep conviction 

and ambituity, as we chart Baal’s demise from swaggering 

womaniser to friendless murderer. Clarke keeps the camera 

well back to create wide, beautifully lit tableaux.

Fri 26 & Sat 27 April 2013 

Carlos Acosta, the world’s favourite 

dancer, presents his most personal work 

to date, On Before. Building on Carlos’ 

astonishing dance vision, the show 

features collaborations with major UK 

and international dance stars. 

“Sophisticated beautifully 

thought-out work” 

The Observer 

Fri 17 & Sat 18 May 2013 

A collaboration between one of Europe’s 

most exciting choreographers Sidi Larbi 

Cherkaoui, Turner Prize-winning sculptor 

Antony Gormley and 17 practicing Buddhist 

monks from the Shaolin Temple in China, 

Sutra is at once deeply hypnotic, playful and 

breathtakingly athletic. The monks performing 

in Sutra, who follow a strict Buddhist doctrine, 

perform such spectacular, dare devil moves 

that you see them quite literally as leaps 

of faith. 

Wed 22 to Sat 25 May 2013 

Presented exclusively by Scottish Ballet, 

Matthew Bourne’s Highland Fling is a 

wonderfully imaginative reworking of the 

classic romantic ballet La Sylphide with a 

wickedly wry Scotch twist. 

Highland Fling follows the antics of James – 

a young Scot with sex and love and rock and 

roll on his mind. Recently married to his 

beloved Effie, his addiction to excess finds 

him in the fateful company of a beguiling 

gothic fairy.
