Akira
Date Location
(5 stars) Based on the multi-volume graphic novel by Otomo, Akira is a mythical, futuristic tale of post-holocaust Tokyo, where pill-popping biker kids begin to unearth a government project designed to exploit the psychic and telekinetic powers of a group of laboratory-bound children. Superbly animated, with a fantastic visual and narrative imagination, but you'd be well advised to know something of the plot before you see it.

Day of the Flowers
Date Location
Two young, strong-willed Scottish sisters, one a left-wing activitist, the other a most-popular-girl-in-school type, take their late father's ashes to Cuba, the site of many family legends of his services to the Revolution. Arriving in Havana, the two women promptly lose the ashes and go through a series of misadventures – both romantic and dangerous – to try to retrieve them. A colourful and wryly humourous tale of cross-cultural misunderstandings and lost illusions.

Evelyn
Date Location
A harrowing tale of human trafficking, this film engages not by a litany of misery but by presenting a naïve but incredibly resourceful and determined heroine, struggling to escape her nightmarish trap. At times, the pervasive atmosphere of corruption around her approaches the dark worlds of David Lynch, but without ever losing its connection to contemporary reality. A tough watch but an unforgettable one.

Fantastic Mr Fox
Date Location
(4 stars) Anderson's inspired choice of stop-motion animation pays off in this beautiful and idiosyncratic adaptation of the well-loved children's tale. While kids may enjoy it, Anderson's typically arch humour is aimed more at their parents, who will also be impressed by the star-studded voice cast – Bill Murray as a badger lawyer anyone?

Forrest Gump
Date Location
Even those with the lowest IQs can rise to the top in the land of the free, as this picaresque tale sets out to prove. But despite its incurably sweet hero and its fairly standard love story core, 'Forrest Gump' has a surprisingly dark-tinted view on recent American history - complete with racism, drug and child abuse, war and political assassination. There are some bitter tasting choices hidden among the soft centres.

Somewhere in rural America, ten-year-old Annie lives with her divorced father, who is even more incompetent at parenting than he is at goat farming. Left to her own devices, Annie wanders the nearby town and woods, committing random acts of anarchic destructiveness, until she forms a relationship with a woman trapped in a well.
