The Blue Angel
Date Location
Berlin's decadent cabaret era is vibrantly brought to life as Dietrich's voluptuous singer Lola-Lola sets out to seduce and destroy a bourgeois schoolteacher. In her first major role, the actress taps into a potent current of female sexuality.
30 Jul Wed 6.00 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Date Location
Julian Schnabel's third biopic tells the tale of 'Elle' editor Jean-Dominique Bauby (Almaric) who, after suffering a debilitating stroke, authored a slim memoir, 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'. This is an unusual, rich, formless and challenging film, which fits perfectly with the triumph of the human spirit theme that runs through Bauby's core text.
24 Sep 7.30 The CatStrand, Castle Douglas
The Greengage Summer
Date Location
A coming-of-age tale of love and deceit set in the Champagne country of the Marne. With introduction from Jane Murray-Flutter, daughter of Rumer Godden, upon whose story the film is set.
31 Jul Thu 10.45am Robert Burns Centre Film Theatre, Dumfries
Himalaya
Date Location
In the high mountains of the Himalayas, a village prepares for the annual yak caravan to market. However, the young chieftain has been killed and the old clan head refuses to recognise the hot-headed Karma as his successor. A worthy insight into the lives of a hardy people. The landscape is breathtakingly shot, and the attention to local detail feels authentic. The plot has less going for it, being at heart a fairly hackneyed story of an heir to the throne having to prove he is worthy of the…
29 Jul–31 Jul Tue 8.00; Wed 11.30am & 6.00; Thu 8.30 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
The Kite Runner
Date Location
Gripping and moving adaptation of the novel by Khaled Hosseini, about two boys whose ordinary lives become caught up in Afghanistan's tumultuous politics. Spanning three decades and two continents, 'The Kite Runner' is a saga of guilt, regret and redemption. As a meditation on Afghanistan, it will always have to stand in line with Siddiq Barmak's disturbing 'Osama' and Samira Makhmalbaf's 'At Five in the Afternoon', but that is fine company to keep.
9 Sep 8.00 Wynd Theatre, Melrose
The Page Turner (La Tourneuse de Pages)
Date Location
A thriller set in the rarefied world of classical music. After Melanie's (François) childhood audition is thwarted by famous pianist Ariane (Frot), she seeks payback in this cleverly understated revenge drama from French writer-director Dercourt. When the violence comes, it's all the more memorable for the lack of bloodshed.
25 Jul–31 Jul 12.45; Tue 12.30 Cameo, Edinburgh
Sex and the City: The Movie
Date Location
A few years on from packing away the series, the characters are back and fleshed out, the individual angst of each woman realised enough to engage even the hardened cynics. Like life however, the film isn't perfect, the beginning recap is clumsy, the ending is rushed, and the version of feminist power and female solidarity the film peddles is slightly simplistic.
25 Jul–31 Jul 8.30 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
25 Jul–31 Jul Fri, Sat, Sun & Thu 11.40 Vue Aberdeen, Aberdeen
28 Jul–29 Jul Mon & Tue 8.30 Screen Machine: Tarbert, Tarbert

31 Jul Thu 6.00 Tower Mill, Kirkstile
31 Jul Thu 8.30 An Lanntair Arts Centre and Cinema, Isle of Lewis
31 Jul Thu 8.30 Screen Machine: Creagorry, Creagorry
Vantage Point (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Eight strangers - including Secret Service agents Thomas Barnes (Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Mathew Fox), tourist Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) and American TV news producer Rex Brooks (Weaver) - try to unlock the truth behind an assassination attempt on the US President Ashton (Hurt). Competently made but ridiculously silly and badly acted thriller which attempts to pollinate Oliver Stone's 'JFK' with 'Groundhog Day'.
29 Jul Tue 11.40am Vue Hamilton, Hamilton
29 Jul Tue 1.00 Vue Livingston, Livingston
29 Jul Tue 1.05 Vue Inverness, Inverness
