A Complete History of My Sexual Failures

Location	Date	Tickets
	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.

Irina Palm

Location	Date	Tickets
	Maggie (Faithful) is desperate. In her mid 50s and struggling with preconceptions that she is too old to do anything, until she wanders into a seedy Soho club and winds up being hired to give relief to men through a glory hole. While there is some humour in how this premise is handled (no pun intended), the film can't decide whether it's a sex comedy or a serious social commentary.
Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow	25 Jul–29 Jul Fri & Mon 4.15 & 8.40; Sat 2.00 & 6.30; Sun 2.45; Tue 12.45	0141 332 8128

Noise

Location	Date	Tickets
	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.

Paris

Location	Date	Tickets
	Duris plays Pierre, a young dancer whose future is suddenly left hanging in the balance by a medical diagnosis; Binoche is his unfulfilled sister, taking a career break to care for him. A warm human drama from the director of 'Pot Luck' and 'Russian Dolls'.
Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow	25 Jul–31 Jul Fri, Sat, Mon & Thu 3.30 & 8.15; Sun 2.30 & 7.15; Tue 1.30 & 8.15; Wed 1.00 & 5.30	0141 332 8128

Smiley Face

Location	Date	Tickets
	After 2004's 'Mysterious Skin', Araki's latest is something of a departure. Faris is Jane, an out-of-work actress who fills her days with getting high and little else. After erroneously eating an entire batch of dope-filled cupcakes, Jane ventures out into the world on a drug-fuelled odyssey that can only end in disaster.
Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow	30 Jul–31 Jul Wed 8.40; Thu 6.45	0141 332 8128

Summer Hours (L'Heure d'ete)

Location	Date	Tickets
	It's the 75th birthday of widowed matriarch Helene, and attending the celebrations are her three children, grandchildren and elderly housekeeper, who must decide collectively what to do with their artistic inheritance when Helene passes away soon after. Not tied down to a conventional three-act structure, the film's themes emerge naturally from the drama.
Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow	25 Jul–31 Jul Fri & Mon 2.00 & 6.30; Sat 4.15 & 8.40; Sun 5.00; Tue & Thu 3.00 & 8.40; Wed 3.00 & 6.30	0141 332 8128

Written On The Wind

Location	Date	Tickets
	A fine film and one of Hollywood's best ever melodramas. Four characters connected to a Texan oil family act on their passions rather than their intellects as love and desire concoct a tempestuous mix leading to tragedy. A prototype soap opera, but incisive in its criticism on the middle-class and notions of masculinity.
Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow	28 Jul–29 Jul Mon 6.15; Tue 4.00	0141 332 8128
