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.

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
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.

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.
17 May Sat 6.00 An Lanntair Arts Centre and Cinema, Isle of Lewis
Sans Soleil
Date Location
Typically thoughtful filmmaking from Marker ('La Jettee') in which a woman narrates the thoughts of a world traveller, meditations on time and all.
17 May Sat 5.15 Macrobert, Stirling
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.
