 Angèle (Hesme) starts a relationship with fisherman Tony (Gadebois) as a result of a personal ad; it seems doomed from the start, but a connection of sorts develops.

| Worryingly jingoistic vision of the 1924 Paris Olympics and the exploits of runners Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell that, in its numerous slow-motion races, is to blame for Vangelis soundtracks becoming synonymous with athletics. Nevertheless, it won a fair few Oscars, although writer Colin Welland's legendary 'The British are coming' warning to Hollywood proved about as prophetic as Manchester's bid for the 2000 Olympics.

| Allen's trickery with photography, which places 'human chameleon' Leonard Zelig at the heart of key scenes in the 20th century, is imaginative and funny; but behind it lies an affecting story about a nobody who'll go to desperate lengths to be liked. The mock-doc feel and use of music are perfect. View full details |

Amazing cinema with a huge variety of inspiring films. Have never been to one quite like it. Delicious food with great bar and very welcoming staff.

hmm ... vegetarian option in non strictly vegetarian place ? They using same knifes and chopping boards to cut meat. It's one big joke in my opinion.

One of the best places in Edinburgh for people watching and sitting relaxing. You can stay in here for hours eating, drinking, chatting, seeing a film, more drinks and chatting afterwards...
You really do see all types of people in here - I've even seen two men knitting whilst they had a pint! This is the best place in Edinburgh to see a film and the best cinema bar I've ever been to (although casa del cinema in Rome came a close second but then again it is hot and sunny there and you can sit outside). I've been coming here since I was a teenager and it is still one of my favourite places. It caters for everyone and makes you feel valued as a customer and included, if that makes sense.

Good coffee & cake! Makes a nice change from samey coffee chains. Haven't been here for food yet, but impressed by their veggie options!

It's not exactly fine dining, but for a bustling cafe the food is surprisingly good. The chickpea curry has great flavour and was served with perfect portions of hearty rice and nan. Equally good, the stilton nuggets were flavourful but not too rich. Service is quick and with a smile. I wouldn't go there especially for the food, but it offers a good tasty bite before a movie.
