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

Jaws
Date	Location
Cracking shark adventure from the days when Spielberg movies were scary. See the citizens of Amity scream! Watch the bodycount pile up! Hear the authorities declare the water perfectly safe!
26 Jul–27 Jul Sat 8.30; Sun 5.00	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 (Double Bill with Water Lillies)
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.
27 Jul Sun 12.00	Cameo, Edinburgh

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.

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

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
30 Jul Wed 11.30am	Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh

Water Lilies (Double Bill with The Page Turner)
Date	Location
The growing pains of a trio of 15-year-old girls, set mostly in the municipal swimming pool in a Parisian suburb, translate into arrogance and sexual confusion in their games of one-upmanship, social climbing and sexual awakening. This first time writer/director's effort is all too predictable, but is enough to make Sciamma one to watch.
27 Jul Sun 12.00	Cameo, Edinburgh
