Date	Location
Angèle (Hesme) starts a relationship with fisherman Tony (Gadebois) as a result of a personal ad; it seems doomed from the start, but a connection of sorts develops.

Annie Hall
Date	Location
Two decades before Sex And The City had its first orgasm, Annie Hall was laying bare the mores of modern, urban romance to devastating effect while also zoning in on the specific psyche of Allen Konigsberg: anti-Semitic paranoia, metaphysical angst, the search for true love. There's a highly charged on-screen electricity between Allen and Keaton, glorious vistas of the old New York and hilarious set pieces – Alvy fighting with lobsters, the scene of his childhood home below the rollercoaster… View full details

Bananas
Date	Location
The lad's second feature centres on a neurotic, wimpy, Jewish New Yorker (guess who plays this part?) who gets caught up in a South American revolution. The plot is a somewhat flimsy vehicle for Woody's wonderful one-liners, but there's a degree of cynical commentary on political power struggles. View full details

Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey
Date	Location
Documentary on Sesame Street's almost-too-adorable scarlet fuzzball Elmo, and the likable and driven puppeteer Kevin Clash who turned him from a minor character into a breakout phenomenon.

Beloved (Les bien-aimés)
Date	Location
Elegiac musical contrasting the lives of Madeleine (Sagnier and Deneuve as younger and older incarnations) and her daughter Vera (Mastroianni), who were young in the 60s and the early 21st century respectively. A sprawling, poignant, ambitious epic of unrequited love. View full details

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Date	Location
Despite an irresistible army of pension-age talent including Dench, Smith and Wilkinson, all on excellent form, this story about a group of unconnected British retirees who come to the titular hotel in Jaipur and find resolution for their various issues and challenges, feels too calculated to offer anything more than disposable entertainment at best, and cheaply manipulative emotional kicks at worst.

Date	Location
The Coen brothers give their unique twist to a Chandler-esque LA noir, as 70s hippy throwback Jeff 'The Dude' Lebowski (Bridges) is drawn into the sordid affairs of his millionaire namesake.

Blank City
Date	Location
Documentary depicting the crime and drug-addled mess that was 1970s Manhattan.

Broadway Danny Rose
Date	Location
Allen is on splendid form as manager of a stable of bottom-of-the-bill nightclub acts, who finally looks about to make it big when a fading crooner takes a sudden upsurge in popularity. Matters are complicated however by Mafia connections and a misplaced romantic involvement. Beautifully controlled narrative, sparkling screenplay and excellent performances make this one of the contemporary master's best. View full details

Chariots Of Fire
Date	Location
Worryingly jingoistic vision of the 1924 Paris Olympics and the exploits of runners Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell that, in its numerous slow-motion races, is to blame for Vangelis soundtracks becoming synonymous with athletics. Nevertheless, it won a fair few Oscars, although writer Colin Welland's legendary 'The British are coming' warning to Hollywood proved about as prophetic as Manchester's bid for the 2000 Olympics.

The Darjeeling Limited
Date	Location
Three eccentric brothers (Wilson, Brody and Schwartzman) cross India by train in an attempt to deal with the recent death of their father. On this evidence writer/director Anderson is fast becoming the John Cheever of US cinema. This film is preceded by a short by Anderson called 'Hotel Chevalier'; it is imperative you see this film in order to understand what follows. A delight. View full details
7 Jun 9pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

Dark Shadows
Date	Location
18th century vampire Barnabas Collins (Depp) escapes from his coffin to find himself in Maine in 1972. It's fun, thanks to a smart script and plenty of surreal humour; Burton regulars Depp and Bonham-Carter are a hoot, but Moretz and Green could have used more restraint. View full details

Death Watch (La mort en direct)
Date	Location
Katherine (Schneider) is a novelist living in Glasgow who's been diagnosed with a terminal disease; Roddy (Keitel) befriends her, but unknown to her he works for a TV company with its own agenda. The basic idea is amazingly prescient but the plot is rather preposterous; Schneider's moving performance anchors it in emotional reality. View full details

The Dictator
Date	Location
Admiral General Aladeen (Cohen) is the titular dictator: a sexist, racist, fascist pig with a penchant for execution, who during a trip to the UN is betrayed by his right-hand man (Kingsley).

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Date	Location
A group of friends find their dinner gathering interrupted by a series of bizarre, mostly dreamt-up events. Not as savage a satire as Buñuel's earlier work, but he is certainly more assured as he fires at his constant targets - the church, the state and the army. View full details

Anderson's inspired choice of stop-motion animation pays off in this beautiful and idiosyncratic adaptation of the well-loved children's tale.

Date	Location
Younes (Rahim) is a young Algerian working in WW II Paris when the Germans enter; the authorities give him the choice between prison, or spying on a mosque suspected of smuggling out Jews disguised as Muslims.

Goodbye First Love (Un amour de jeunesse)
Date	Location
Vain, drippy, lugubrious teenager Camille (Créton) falls in and out of love with dumb puppy Sullivan (Urzendowsky). Lots of nice shots of breasts and landscapes don't alter the fact that this is about unlikable people exchanging faux-profundities. Might work as aversion therapy for people who think they miss being young. View full details

Hellboy
Date	Location
Mexican horror film auteur del Toro's labour of love adaptation of Mike Mignola's cult horror comic delivers on every level, remaining true to the spirit of Mignola's inspired strip and rich with supernatural hocus pocus, wisecracking one-liners and the dark visual styling of German Expressionist cinema.

The Illusionist
Date	Location
The product of five years' work in an animation studio that Chomet (Belleville Rendezvous) set up in Edinburgh when he fell in love with the capital after attending its International Film Festival, this is an uncannily accurate portrayal of Edinburgh and Scotland. The story is an unfilmed script from Jacques Tati and the main character, an ageing magician whose beloved act no longer interests the rock'n'rolling 1950s youth, is based somewhat on Tati himself and is carefully and emotively… View full details

Iron Sky
Date	Location
Nazis on the moon! In Finland’s first blockbuster, a US lunar expedition discovers a hidden moonbase where Nazis have been hiding since the end of WW II. Shame that Vuorensola’s flat satire and B-movie plotting don’t live up to the inspired premise. For once, a Hollywood remake might be in order. View full details

Jo Nesbo's Headhunters (Hodejegerne)
Date	Location
Roger (Hennie) is a successful headhunter living beyond his means, who supplements his income with a double life as a gentleman thief, until one of his victims (Coster-Waldau) fights back. Tyldum's adaptation of Jo Nesbo's novel is somewhere between a Road Runner cartoon and a Coen Brothers thriller: breathlessly, outrageously entertaining. View full details

11 Jun 2.30pm	The Granary, Edinburgh

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Date	Location
Anderson's fourth film is part high seas adventure, part film industry satire, part existential meditation on the meaning of relationships. It is consistently clever and hilarious, shifting from the light-hearted to the surreal, to scenes of real depth with the kind of ease we've come to expect from the Texan director. Bill Murray heads an eccentric, often brilliant cast, as ageing oceanographer and filmmaker Steve Zissou. No one likes his films any more and his life is falling apart around… View full details
31 May 9pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

The Lucky One
Date	Location
A US Marine serving in Iraq (Efron, stretching credibility) finds a photo of an unknown blonde beauty (Schilling), credits it with bringing him luck, and after returning home, sets out to find her. The latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel is schmaltzy, contrived, unconvincing and empty. View full details

Marley
Date	Location
Kevin Macdonald's documentary chronicles the rise of Bob Marley, the first musical superstar from the developing countries to gain a global audience. With many archival treasures, the result is a comprehensive portrait but it's overly reverential and the interviews could have delved a little deeper. View full details

Polisse
