Abba The Movie
Date Location
Made at the height of their popularity, the wafer thin plotline consists of the four Swedes being pursued across Oz by a Sydney journalist. Features a brief, heartstopping appearance by Lou from 'Neighbours' as their bodyguard. No, it really does.
29 Aug–4 Sep 5.30 The Pavilion, Galashiels
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Date Location
Lumet's new film returns him to his favourite territory - the heist gone wrong. Gripping, compelling and full of very fine performances this is the director's best film in years.
1 Sep Mon 7.30 FTH Cinema, Falkirk
City Of God
Date Location
The international resurgence of Latin American cinema shows no signs of slowing down. Following 'Central Station', 'Amores Perros', 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' and 'Nine Queens' comes an exhilarating Brazilian drama, 'City of God'. Based on Paulo Lins's sprawling novel and spanning three decades, it's an epic account of the growth of organised drug-dealing in a slum housing project, the so-called City of God in Rio de Janeiro.
31 Aug 7.00 ACE, Edinburgh
Death Note: The Last Name
Date Location
Supernatural thriller in bright comic book animation with a huge cult following in Japan.
29 Aug–1 Sep Fri 8.30; Sat 6.00; Sun 5.00 & 8.30; Mon 8.30 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
1 Sep–3 Sep Mon 6.00; Tue 8.00; Wed 3.30 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
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
Hobson's Choice
Date Location
This working-class comedy charts the descent into alcoholism of Henry Hobson (Laughton), a boot maker in 19th century Salford. Delightful screen version of Harold Brighouse's popular play.
29 Aug–30 Aug Fri 3.30; Sat 5.45 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
31 Aug Sun 5.15 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
Ikiru
Date Location
Gentle comedy about a terminally ill bureaucrat who seeks to give his dreary life vibrancy and meaning.
29 Aug–30 Aug Fri 2.15 & 6.00; Sat 6.00 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
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 New World
Date Location
Malick's epic is quickly recognisable as the story of Pocahontas, the Native American girl who risked her life to show mercy to intruder John Smith when he faced certain death at the hands of her tribe. Filmed 25 years after he originally wrote the script, this is an exquisitely realised past look but the casting is pure folly. Despite its winning heroine, the male stars offer barely a spark between them, leaving a gaping hole where there should be an authentic romantic heart.
3 Sep Wed 8.25 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
A Passage To India
Date Location
Meticulous adaptation of E.M. Forster has Australian Judy Davis cast as the young woman travelling through the sub-continent with her fiancé's stuffy mother (Ashcroft). Overlong and over-rated, for all its attention to detail, this numbingly slow latter-day Lean seriously fudges the crucial scene in the Malabar Caves. A disappointment.
3 Sep–4 Sep Wed 2.15; Thu 5.45 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
