Adulthood
Date Location
In the sequel to 2006's 'Kidulthood' troubled toughie Sam's (Clarke) London-based inner-city struggles continue on his release from prison. Essentially a vanity project for star/director/writer Clarke (best known as Rose's boyfriend in 'Doctor Who'), his authentic portrayal of contemporary youth and some neat visual tricks ensure he leaves an undeniably impressive calling card.

Sapir utilises the syntax of classic silent cinema to winning effect in this amusing and inventive futuristic adventure. Set in some Orwellian-style future city, where words and language have died and television is used as a way of controlling the masses, one family discovers they have the key to unlocking the hypnotic state into which the populous has fallen.

The Apartment
Date Location
This new print of Wilder's corrosive 1960 lampoon of corporate America tells the story of spineless insurance statistician CC Baxter (Lemmon). Having fallen into the practice of leasing his apartment to his superiors for illicit liaisons, Baxter is rewarded with high-speed promotion. All of which suits him fine until he realises that one of the ladies being taken back is the girl of his dreams.
11 Jul17 Jul 2.30 & 8.30; Sun & Wed 8.30; Mon & Tue 2.30 & 5.45 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
The Apartment (Parent & Baby Screening)
Date Location
Digital restoration of this splendid satire on sex, success and morality, in which Lemmon's clerk generates big bucks by sub-letting his apartment to senior executives for immoral purposes, only to find that his own girl is having it off with his boss. Both central performances are wonderful, generating both farce and pathos with admirable subtlety.
14 Jul Mon 10.30am Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest (Parent & Baby Screening)
Date Location
Childhood buddies Azur and Asmar become rivals and enemies in a medieval Maghreb. With the action taking place in North African Islamic architecture and over-populated bazaars, the colourful palatte of the animation and 'Arabian Nights'-style storyline is a welcome throwback to the days before Pixar tore up the rulebook. A compassionate and mature film based on classic legends rather than popular culture.
7 Jul 10.30am Filmhouse, Edinburgh
The Blue Light (Das Blaue Licht)
Date Location
Riefenstahl indulges her twin interests, nature and the occult, in this somewhat cliched drama. She plays a woman who, shunned by the locals as a witch, spends her time in a grotto communing with the Blue Light of purity, faith, blah, blah.
16 Jul Wed 6.00 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
Brute Force
Date Location
Dassin's heady prison thriller casts Lancaster as a cool, hard career criminal pitched against vindictive guard Captain Hume Cronyn. With their hopes of parole damned by the Captain, the heaving mass of men are left only with dreams of their loves on the outside.
9 Jul Wed 6.15 Filmhouse, Edinburgh
California Dreamin'
Date Location
Set in the summer of 1999, while fighting is underway in Kosovo, a corrupt stationmaster stops a NATO train in its tracks and the community eagerly flock to meet the newcomers. This darkly ironic, consistently amusing and ultimately tragic tale is easily and eloquently elevated above being simply another Balkan farce.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Date Location
In the second instalment of the Narnia films, the Pevensie children are summoned back to Narnia for a slick, fast-paced romp through dark woods, underground caverns and fierce battles. With a simplistic plot, and Caspian (Barnes) reduced to a pretty face, Disney may have finally brought Narnia to the big screen, but for a real journey of the imagination, stick to the books.

A Complete History of My Sexual Failures
Date Location
Documentary filmmaker Waitt sets out to contact all of his ex-girlfriends, to discover what makes him such a rubbish boyfriend, leading to a trip to Edinburgh. A brisk pace, a desire to bare all (literally) and Chris' very ordinary but anxious humanity makes this slightly insular premise engaging viewing.

They become a firm threesome until Vera falls in love with young officer (Murphy) and group dynamics shift unpleasantly.

They become a firm threesome until Vera falls in love with young officer (Cillian Murphy) and group dynamics shift unpleasantly.

17 Jun 2009–28 Jun 2009 (Times vary) Various Venues, Edinburgh
Female Agents
Date Location
Allegedly based on a true story: in spring 1944 Churchill oversees a suicidal sabotage and rescue mission by female members of the French Resistance - a showgirl (Gillain), an explosives expert (Déborah François), a prostitute (Depardieu), a radio operator (Maya Sansa) and their leader (Marceau). Salome is an arch stylist and copyist but beyond the handful of great performances this feels like another po-faced TV mini series: interesting but pedestrian.

Hancock
Date Location
Smith plays a nihilistic superhero who has fallen out of favour with the public. Due to this scenario, 'Hancock' dangerously flirts with the status of one-joke film. Amazingly, though, Hancock is then rescued (both as a character and as a film) by PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), who believes he can turn Hancock's public image from zero to hero.

The Happening
Date Location
In NYC people begin to inexplicably commit suicide in their droves in another of M Night Shyamalan's paranoia thrillers with twisty endings. Despite diverting from the narrative through teacher protagonist Elliot (Wahlberg) and his dull-arsed marital problems, this is at least better than the dire 'Lady in The Water', which isn't much praise at all.
4 Jul10 Jul Fri, Sat & Thu 10.20 Vue Edinburgh Ocean, Edinburgh
Heartbeat Detector
Date Location
This French corporate thriller adapted from François Emmanuel's novel 'La Question Humaine' is demanding and rewarding in equal measure. Amalric is the psychologist of a German-French petrochemical company who's asked to discretely assess the mental state of the Paris office's CEO (Lonsdale) until disturbing links between his firm and the Nazis start to take their toll. A beautifully executed and horribly convincing film.

Five years after Ang Lee's 'Hulk' commercially flopped, Leterrier ditches cerebral musing for all-out action and little else. The sequel finds Dr Bruce Banner (Norton) hiding from the American military, reunited with lover Betty Ross (Tyler) and pursued by her father, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt). Disappointingly dumb, this Hulk is anything but incredible.

Jules Et Jim
Date Location
French New Wave filmmaker Truffaut's third film, made in 1962, was undoubtedly his masterpiece and released on a lovely new print still speaks to a contemporary consciousness. Set in the 1910s and 20s it is the story of a freewheeling love triangle between alpha female Catherine (Moreau), Austrian Jules (Werner) and Frenchman Jim (Serre).

The Lady Vanishes
Date Location
Hitchcock's wonderfully entertaining pan-European railway thriller feels as fresh today as it must have back in the appeasement years. Beginning in a fictitious Eastern European principality, an old lady does a disappearing act on a train. Suspicious, a young man and woman investigate. Though often dismissed as one of Hitchcock's more lightweight films, this was and is an allegory of Britain when Blimpish complacency was believed to be the best deterrent to war.

The Mist
Date Location
After a thunderstorm artist David (Jane) heads down to the local supermarket, only to join a small cross-section of the town hemmed indoors by a mysterious mist. Strange noises are heard, gigantic fruit flies emerge, and tentacles appear. At its heart this is pure B Movie, but Darabont imbues everything with such genuine gravity that it's difficult not to be swept along.

Mongol
Date Location
In the first of a planned trilogy on the Mongol leader's life, Genghis Khan (Asano) suffers imprisonment, the murder of his father and the loss of his bride before waging war against his traitorous one-time ally. Although this sounds somewhat dry on paper, this is less the Khan of the history books than a carefully humanised leader.

Noise
Date Location
A young Melbourne cop finds his relationship slipping away due to frequent late nights spent working on a murder case. With a community beset by doubt and a young man steadily losing grip with normality, Saville's debut feature works at once as a wry meditation on contemporary Australian life and as a tense relationship drama.

Paradise Now
Date Location
The tale of two Palestinian car mechanics about to venture to Israel on a suicide-bombing mission, 'Paradise Now' is primarily a buddy-buddy movie.

Ratatouille
Date Location
The latest Pixar masterpiece follows Remy the rat (voiced by Oswalt) as he chases his dream of becoming a gourmet chef. This is Pixar at its best, offering audiences both three dimensional images and storytelling with its thoughtful consideration of the relationship between the creative process and friendship. Yet Bird's colourful production never stints on fast, furious fun, with plenty of sight gags and chases through the streets, waterways, sewers and dinner tables of Paris.

Sex and the City: The Movie
Date Location
A few years on from packing away the series, the characters are back and fleshed out, the individual angst of each woman realised enough to engage even the hardened cynics. Like life however, the film isn't perfect, the beginning recap is clumsy, the ending is rushed, and the version of feminist power and female solidarity the film peddles is slightly simplistic.

Superhero Movie
Date Location
Director Mazin's attempt to deflate comic-book pomposity comes up short on laughs as it details the transformation of Rick Riker (Bell).

27 Dresses (Senior Screening)
Date Location
Wedding obsessed Jane (Heigl) juggles gigs as bridesmaids with a rocky love life while the conundrum of how you should behave when your sister is marrying the man you love is given short shrift, as Heigl attempts to send feminism back to the dark ages. '27 Dresses' is as bland as century old wedding cake.

When work sends him to Manhattan, a series of misunderstandings lead him to form a friendship with Syrian drummer Tarek (Sleiman) and his Senegalese girlfriend Zainab (Gurira). Underwritten and beautifully performed, 'The Visitor' is a sentimental drama that manages to access a hypnotic rhythm that is both convincing and reassuring.

Wanted
Date Location
Scottish comic book writer Mark Millar's ultra-violent graphic novel gets the Hollywood blockbuster treatment. Fellow Scot McAvoy takes the lead as a super-assassin inductee under the tutelage of action babe Fox (Jolie) and boss Sloan (Freeman). Toning down the comic's darker elements and ramping up the SFX, Bekmambetov's quirky stylistic excesses make up for the script's weaknesses. And McAvoy is quite convincing.
