Brief Encounter
Date Location
Stiff upper lips and emotionally charged brushes of the hands are all that Johnson and Howard will allow themselves as their extra-marital 'affair' doesn't develop much beyond unspoken longings at a railway station. For some, the tears will still flow; for others, the ungiving morality is exasperating. Given the rigidity of this English romance, the Rachmaninov soundtrack is unfittingly sweet.
22 Aug Fri 5.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Mamma Mia! (Sing-a-Long)
Date Location
A bride-to-be tries to find out the identity of her real father in the lead up to her wedding on a Greek island. Depressingly faithful film adaptation of abominable Broadway and West End ABBA song musical mega hit. The popularity of films like this certainly make one wonder about the rampancy of mental illness in our culture. With subtitled song lyrics to keep your audience participation word-perfect.

Marnie
Date Location
Hedren (in a role intended for Grace Kelly) is the glacial blonde heroine in this most florid of Hitchcock's psychological melodramas. After her boss Connery catches her robbing his safe, he becomes attracted to her and the two marry, but her frigidity in the bedroom hides a much darker secret. The usual late Hitch mixture of carelessness (those backdrops!) and technical virtuosity. A playground for veteran Freudians.
28 Aug Thu 2.30 & 8.30 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
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.
