Events at Cameo

The Dark Knight

Location	Date	Tickets
	Following on from Nolan's critically and commercially successful 'Batman Begins', this sequel promises to be bigger and possibly even better in almost every way. Inevitably, though, expect proceedings to be overshadowed by Ledger's final screen role, as Batman's (Bale) arch-nemesis The Joker.
Cameo, Edinburgh	24 Jul Thu 8.45	0871 704 2052

My Winnipeg

Location	Date	Tickets
	Recreating his Winnipeg childhood with various actors playing the roles of siblings and veteran actress Savage as his demanding mum, acquired-taste director and postmodernist auteur Maddin gets the balance between acerbic nostalgia and indulgent self-centredness just right.
Cameo, Edinburgh	18 Jul–24 Jul 4.15 & 9.20; Sun 9.20; Thu 4.15 & 6.40	0871 704 2052

Priceless (Hors de prix)

Location	Date	Tickets
	This frothy comedy set in the mildly tragic world of upmarket Riviera hotels, restaurants and boutiques sees Irène (Tautou) desperately gold digging from an aging sugar daddy. Meanwhile, luckless bar tender Jean (Elmaleh) is developing a bit of a crush on this cynical young lady, but with no cash in his pocket shes just not interested. That is, until, he becomes a toy boy himself.
Cameo, Edinburgh	18 Jul–24 Jul 1.50	0871 704 2052

Savage Grace

Location	Date	Tickets
	New Queer Cinema-defining Kalin ('Swoon') makes a return with this flawed but nevertheless fascinating examination of decadence and dysfunction among the American aristocracy. Barbara (Moore), a middle class social climber marries wealthy Brooks Baekeland (Dillane), only to find herself drift into a series of twisted and uncomfortable familial encounters.
Cameo, Edinburgh	18 Jul–24 Jul 4.05 & 9.15	0871 704 2052

Son of Rambow (Double Bill with The Squid and the Whale)

Location	Date	Tickets
	Troubled child and wannabe filmmaker Lee Carter (Poulter) enlists Will (Milner), a member of a fundamentalist Christian Evangelical family, as a stuntman for a remake of 'Rambo: First Blood' in this patchwork of beguiling surreal comedy and eccentric but darkly pertinent family drama. An absolute joy.
Cameo, Edinburgh	20 Jul Sun 12.00	0871 704 2052

The Squid and the Whale (Double Bill with Son of Rambow)

Location	Date	Tickets
	Bernard (Daniels) is a once acclaimed novelist whose star has long since waned and now works as a university professor. When his wife starts to have success with a novel of her own, the resulting demise of their marriage has a profound affect on their two children. Writer/director Baumbach concentrates on characters and moral conundrums over melodramatic plot points. In doing so he brings a unique angle to depicting divorce on screen. An acerbic and occasionally kooky and brilliant work.
Cameo, Edinburgh	20 Jul Sun 12.00	0871 704 2052

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.
Cameo, Edinburgh	18 Jul–24 Jul 1.30, 4.00, 6.30 & 9.00	0871 704 2052

The Visitor

Location	Date	Tickets
	Widower Walter Vale (Jenkins) is a grouch. 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.
Cameo, Edinburgh	18 Jul–24 Jul 1.45 & 6.25	0871 704 2052
