Beetlejuice
Location	Date	Tickets
	Recently deceased and very charming New England couple have difficulty in adjusting to the afterlife. Not the least of their worries is the tasteless refurbishment of their old home by a nasty New York yuppie family, and they eventually call on freelance bio-exorcist Betelgeuse (pronounced 'Beetle-juice') to deal with the problem in his own inimitable fashion. A movie of exuberantly eccentric cartoonish capers, which creates its own comic cosmos where the unexpected is the norm. Great fun it…
Cameo, Edinburgh	16 May–17 May Fri & Sat 11.40	0871 704 2052

Caramel
Location	Date	Tickets
	Charming, bitter-sweet debut feature from writer-director Labaki that centres upon the 'Si Belle' beauty parlour in the Lebanese capital and the dramas of the female clientele. The film is impressively acted by a mostly non-professional cast. While there are no references to the on-going strife in Lebanon, this is still a political film, and a tender tribute to female solidarity.
Cameo, Edinburgh	16 May–22 May 1.30, 3.50, 6.30 & 9.00	0871 704 2052

Funny Games
Location	Date	Tickets
	A wealthy family are subjected to an increasingly horrific series of 'games' by two young men, beginning with humiliation and ending in torture and murder. The horror-thriller set up seems familiar, but 'Funny Games' is one of the most innovative and shocking films to reach our screens this decade. Chilling, calculated, cerebral, brilliant.
Cameo, Edinburgh	16 May–22 May 1.15; Fri & Sat 1.15 & 11.30	0871 704 2052

Grindhouse
Location	Date	Tickets
	Tarantino and Rodriguez's salute to the 1970s exploitation movie focuses on an ex-stripper with a grenade launcher-equipped machine gun leg, who meets and greets a troop of flesh eating mutating zombies. Taking a step down in tone, Tarantino's 'Death Proof' traces two groups of women tied together only by the presence of a lunatic ex-Hollywood stuntman. Complete with the original imaginary trailers, this 'double feature' offers the 'Grindhouse' package up on one deliciously cultish plate.
Cameo, Edinburgh	18 May Sun 1.30	0871 704 2052

Happy-Go-Lucky
Location	Date	Tickets
	Leigh returns with a familiar, yet reassuringly different film, an affectionate portrait of carefree 30-something Londoner Poppy (Hawkins) and the minutiae of her everyday life. About everything and nothing, the downtime and the uptime, this is life-affirming stuff.
Cameo, Edinburgh	16 May–22 May 6.20	0871 704 2052

Heartbeat Detector
Location	Date	Tickets
	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.
Cameo, Edinburgh	16 May–22 May 1.50, 5.50 & 8.50	0871 704 2052

Manufactured Landscapes
Location	Date	Tickets
	Baichwal's thoughtful documentary explores the work of the photographer Edward Burtynsky, whose large-scale colour photos examine the impact of man's industrial processes upon landscapes around the world, on a trip through Asia. This is a film which encourages the viewer to gaze at its images, and feel unsettled by its eerie beauty.
Cameo, Edinburgh	17 May–22 May Sat 3.45; Thu 9.00	0871 704 2052

The Metropolitan Opera: Puccini's La Bohème
Location	Date	Tickets
	Join the New York Metropolitan Opera for Puccini's 'La Bohème', starring the mesmerising Angela Gheorghiu. Screened live and in high definition.
Cameo, Edinburgh	19 May 7.00	0871 704 2068

Persepolis
Location	Date	Tickets
	This adaptation of Satrapi's autobiographical coming-of-age graphic novel is an exceptionally moving piece of animated filmmaking. Chronicling the liberal outlook of young Iranian Marji, Satrapi refreshingly manages to portray a love of Iran without being revisionist or disguising any harsh truths about the regime.
Cameo, Edinburgh	16 May–22 May 3.55; Tue & Wed 3.55 & 6.20; Fri 3.55 & 9.10; Sat & Sun 9.10	0871 704 2052

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?
Location	Date	Tickets
	Spurlock's new documentary, in which the campaigner tries to find Osama Bin Laden, is one long ego-trip. Little attempt is made to actually find him; instead Spurlock ventures to Egypt, Morocco, Afghanistan and Pakistan to show how the Muslim population living there are by-and-large ordinary folks concerned with raising their families and making a living.
Cameo, Edinburgh	16 May–17 May Fri & Sat 11.45	0871 704 2052
