Alien Adventure 3D
Date Location
An alien race looking for a planet to colonise find earth and unfortunately enter a theme park where they cause much amusing mayhem.
16 May–18 May Fri–Sun 12.15 IMAX Theatre, Glasgow
Caramel
Date Location
Charming, bitter-sweet debut feature from writer-director Labaki that centres upon the 'Si Belle' beauty parlour in the Lebanese capital and the dramas of the female clientele. The film is impressively acted by a mostly non-professional cast. While there are no references to the on-going strife in Lebanon, this is still a political film, and a tender tribute to female solidarity.
16 May–22 May Fri & Sat 12.30, 3.00, 5.40, 8.00 & 10.30; 12.30, 3.00, 5.40 & 8.00 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow

18 May–21 May Sun 1.30; Wed 6.00 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
Children of Glory
Date Location
Old-fashioned, melodramatic account of the 50th anniversary of the doomed Hungarian uprising against Soviet rule in 1956, which privileges action and spectacle over analysis and moral ambiguity and is at its best in its visual recreation of the attempted revolution.
16 May–18 May Fri 6.15; Sat 5.30; Sun 7.45 Eden Court Theatre, Inverness
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
Date Location
Mungiu's impressively acted new feature explores a long, dark night of the soul in late 1980s Romania, unfolding towards the end of Nicolae Ceausescu's dictatorship, in which a poor college student has become pregnant and decided to seek an illegal abortion, performed by a hired doctor in a hotel room. '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days' is a gripping portrayal of survival under a totalitarian regime.
20 May Tue 9.15 Odeon At The Quay, Glasgow
Funny Games
Date Location
A wealthy family are subjected to an increasingly horrific series of 'games' by two young men, beginning with humiliation and ending in torture and murder. The horror-thriller set up seems familiar, but 'Funny Games' is one of the most innovative and shocking films to reach our screens this decade. Chilling, calculated, cerebral, brilliant.
16 May–22 May 1.15; Fri & Sat 1.15 & 11.30 Cameo, Edinburgh
16 May–18 May Fri 6.00; Sat 9.00; Sun 1.10 Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee
Jannat
Date Location
Another Bollywood take on the old 'money won't buy you love' chestnut.
16 May–22 May Fri & Sat 12.30, 4.00, 7.30 & 11.00; 1.30, 5.00 & 8.30 Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
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.
22 May Thu 6.30 Pickaquoy Centre, Orkney
The Orphanage
Date Location
First-time director Bayona and producer Guillermo del Toro create the best ghost story of the year so far. Laura (Rueda) was raised in an orphanage and on returning to her childhood home with her son Simon (Princep) things start to get creepy. The key to the success of this film is the edge-of-the-seat suspense, and there's even a brilliant sting in the tale.
20 May Tue 8.00 Odeon: Braehead, Renfrew
Son of Man
Date Location
An ambitious new interpretation of the Gospels by the South African theatre and film ensemble Dimpho Di Kopane. The Saviour is born amid a civil war in the fictional African state of Judea. As he grows up he sets out to free his people from oppression through an ethics of non-violent protest and solidarity.
18 May–20 May Sun 1.00; Mon 1.00 & 6.15; Tue 12.45 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
Throne Of Blood
Date Location
It's Shakespeare's Scottish play, Japanese-style, as samurai Mifune is spurred on by his wife and the spirits to murder his best friend and then his master. Although the barest plot and striking images remain from the original, Kurosawa's atmospheric settings in mist-shrouded forests give the film a brooding power.
20 May Tue 6.00 Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
XXY
Date Location
15-year old Alex (Efron) possesses both male and female sexual organs. Raised as a girl, her liberal parents (Darin and Bertuccelli) eventually face the question of what is to be done with a girl/boy like Alex. Puenzo's directorial debut is a slow, challenging but ultimately satisfying chamber piece that examines compromise and conformity against the domestic idyll. Recommended.
16 May–22 May Fri & Sat 2.00, 4.00, 6.30 & 8.50; Sun 6.30 & 8.50; Mon & Thu 3.30 & 8.50; Tue 3.30, 6.00 & 8.50; Wed 3.30, 6.30 & 8.50 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
