The Baader Meinhof Complex
Date Location
Based on the Stefan Aust's 'Der Spiegel', this is a compelling and engrossing attempt to explain the trajectory and the political position of arguably the most incoherent post-war European terrorist group - The Red Army Faction. Intelligently adapted, the film chronicles the personal and political progressions of gang members Andreas Baader ( Bleibtreu), Ulrike Meinhof (Gedeck) and crucially Gudrun Ensslin (Wokalek). A strong, thought-provoking political thriller.

Bicycle Thieves
Date Location
An unemployed Italian workman has his bicycle stolen, and badly needs it for a new job, so he and his small son search the busy streets of Rome for it. The best-loved and most famous film to emerge from the Italian neo-realist movement is essential viewing for cinema lovers. De Sica's masterful film is vividly sketched, compellingly natural and unbearably moving. Essential.

Blindness
Date Location
Brazilian filmmaker Meirelles' adaptation of José Saramago's novel about the impact of a blindness epidemic on a city. Meirelles has reduced the story to be more about the plight of a doctor and his wife (Ruffalo and Moore) who are forced quarantine when the doctor loses his sight. Stark and flawed attempt at fin de siècle sci-fi.

Body of Lies
Date Location
CIA operative Roger Ferris (DiCaprio) is trying to track down terrorist mastermind Al Salim (Abutbul). His investigations take him from Iraq to Jordan with stop offs at any other Islamic country possibly capable of harbouring terrorist cells. Overlong, unnecessarily convoluted thriller adapted from a novel by David Ignatius.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Date Location
Bruno (Butterfield) is the nine-year old son of a Nazi Commandant (Thewlis). When his father is seconded to manage a concentration camp, the lonely Bruno makes a new friend, Schmuel (Scanlon), beyond the high wire. Badly acted and clumsily directed, this liberal-guilt-monger-sweeping-cod-historical-nonsense is simply unnecessary.
21 Nov–27 Nov 2.30 Odeon, Edinburgh
Burn After Reading
Date Location
Foul-mouthed CIA analyst Osbourne (Malkovich) quits his job after being demoted. Across town at Osbourne's gym, slow-witted employees Chad (Pitt) and Linda (McDormand) happen upon one of his discs. A shaggy, punctured tyre blackmail thriller entails with the requisite outbreaks of shock tactic violence and absurdist plotting.

Choke
Date Location
Unrepentant sex addict Victor (Rockwell) cons money in restaurants by pretending to choke on his food. His only act of charity is to visit his dementia-besieged mother (Huston) at a private clinic. One day Dr Marshall (MacDonald) suggests a radical new treatment for his mother, one that will force Victor to face up to his past. A respectfully offensive adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's hilarious and sordid 2001 novel.

Conversations with My Gardener
Date Location
Successful Parisian painter (Auteuil) returns to the rural childhood home he has inherited in southern France and places an advert for a gardener. The first applicant (Darroussin) turns out to have been an old school friend and they talk freely about their respective life experiences. Adapted from Henri Cueco's novel, this intimate two-hander might seem slight on paper, but it's a surprisingly moving study of male friendship.

Easy Virtue
Date Location
England, the 1920s. Dashing young socialite Whittaker (Barnes) returns to his ancestral pile with his spunky new American wife Larita (Biel). Their family home is a hotbed of dysfunction, xenophobia and bankruptcy, and it's not long before all hell breaks out in this loose and disappointing adaptation of Noel Coward's little known 1924 play.

Das Experiment (Double Bill with The Wave)
Date Location
Although Hirschbiegel's film is adapted from Maria Giordano's novel 'Black Box', its basis lies in true fact - the infamous 1971 Stanford University psychology department experiment in which a group of men became guinea pigs in a prison simulation scenario. With shocking speed they lose their sense of identity and assume the role of guards and prisoners, the former abusing the latter and the latter accepting their lot. Hirschbiegel's film finds a disturbing parallel in the rise to power of…
23 Nov Sun 1.30 Cameo, Edinburgh
5,000 Fingers of Dr T
Date Location
A nine-year-old boy imagines his piano teacher as an authoritarian madman. On one level, the musical numbers and fantasy structure make it an acceptable kids' movie; on another, it's a fascinating blend of surreal dream imagery that would have had Freud tinkling at the ivories.
23 Nov–24 Nov Sun 1.00; Mon 10.30am Filmhouse, Edinburgh
The Four Feathers
Date Location
Rousing period melodrama about patriotism and cowardice in a time of colonial conquest (the Battle of Omduran in the Sudan). This is by far the best version of AEW Mason's much-filmed novel.

Ghost Town
Date Location
For this Manhattan-set interpretation of 'A Christmas Carol' Gervais plays middle-aged smock-wearing tooth jockey' (dentist) Bertram Pincus, a hateful runt of a man. After going into hospital for an endoscopy, Bertram starts to see dead people, one of whom, Frank (Kinnear), is about to change Bertram's life by introducing him to widower Gwen (Leoni). The results are predictably bland but not without their merits.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year
Date Location
This time high school seniors Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) prepare for separation before they head off to different colleges by staging an elaborate spring musical. Every bit as nauseating as it sounds (unless you are a child under its shamanistic powers), 'HSM 3' does, however, take advantage of the big screen format with some impressive ensemble music and dance numbers.

Hunger
Date Location
In 1981 provisional IRA member Bobby Sands allowed his body to become the ultimate instrument of protest when he led the Maze prison hunger strike. Directed by Turner Prize-winning artist McQueen and written by Irish playwright Enda Walsh, 'Hunger' is the story of the last six weeks of Sands' life. A brave and unforgettable film, tinged with thematic prescience and the politics of belief.

But Igor bravely decides to enter the competiton himself and enters his Bride of Frankenstein-style creation called Eva (Molly Shannon). Decent but uninspired animation.

I've Loved You So Long
Date Location
In northeast France, Lea (Zylberstein) has just been released from behind bars and the story follows her re-introduction into society and gradual emotional rapprochement with her sister (Scott Thomas). Claudel's directorial debut places everyone inside metaphorical prisons in this patient and sensitively shot family drama.

Make It Happen
Date Location
Indiana country girl Lauryn (Winstead) comes to Chicago to study dance, but when she fails the college audition she gets work in a mildly saucy nightclub instead. Tosh rites-of-passage drama from the man who brought you 'Save the Last Dance 1&2' and yes 'Step Up 1&2'.

Charging other guys to take their girlfriends on abusive dates, Tank's life gets complicated when he falls for the girlfriend of his best friend Dustin (Biggs).

Pride and Glory
Date Location
Hackneyed New York set police procedural about a good cop Ray Tierney (Norton) torn between duty to his family (a long line of cops) and his duty to uphold the law. A top notch cast fail to bring anything to this tedious and underdeveloped thriller from writer Joe 'Smokin' Aces' Carnahan.

First half of Marcel Ophüls' remarkable four and half hour documentary about France during the German Occupation of World War II. Combining archival news, propaganda footage and detailed personal testimonies, it concentrates on the town of Clermont Ferrand, near Marshal Petain's Vichy headquarters, where Ophüls and co-producers André Harris and Alain de Sedouy interviewed a wide cross-section of citizens about their experiences between 1940 and 1944. The film demolishes the Gaullist myth that…

W
Date Location
The American aphorism that suggests 'any boy can grow up to be president' is blandly dramatised in Stone's outrageously timed and puffed-up film, the first biopic to consider the life story of a sitting US president. Brolin plays George W Bush Jr, a hard-drinking fratboy who, after flirtations with sporting goods and the oil business, somehow ends up leading his country into a war in a bid to appease his father.

Waltz With Bashir
Date Location
This animated feature about war, selective amnesia and the hideous genocide committed by Christian militiamen on Palestinian refugee camps in Sabra and Shatila during the 1982 Lebanese War is more optimistic than it sounds. Eliciting rare and painful truths, Folman's illustrated memoir makes for a brave, damning and riveting piece of cinema.

The Wave (Double Bill with Das Experiment)
Date Location
A slickly produced examination of how fascism can enter everyday life, 'The Wave' is a peer pressure teen drama where much of the heat comes from above, noticeably Vogel's high school teacher who wonders what will happen if he instils in the kids a few lessons from the Nazi past. Gansel doesn't dig too deep, but his well-made youth drama offers a couple of moments of tension come the denouement.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Date Location
Rogan and Banks give ebullient performances as the auteur lovers of the title who've been best friends since school, but their shifts in a local café aren't paying the bills.
