Introduction
SUITE FRANÇAISE
STILL ALICE
THE TALES OF HOFFMANN
MY NAME IS SALT
Can you recall your very first trip to a cinema?
When asked, which I actually occasionally am, I always say my first cinema experience was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Dundee ABC, though I fear I
may be making it up. It may, however, be the only way to explain my mighty, and perhaps, for some, otherwise inexplicable soft spot for the film. I’m
not even clear whether there ever was an ABC in Dundee, but that’s what I think I remember. If it’s not CCBB at the Dundee ABC, then I simply don’t
know what it is, so I think I’ll stick with it.
I also sometimes get asked (I don’t really... I just felt awkward bringing it up when not invited to do so) how I got involved with this cinema. So, seeing
as you’ve asked... I’m not going to tell you how many years ago it was (suffice to say I may have been in Poll Tax arrears at the time) but I recall my first
obsessively regular involvement with this cinema was as a customer, at the time the cinema was offering Wednesday matinees for students for the
decidedly unprincely sum of 50p. (I know... imagine that now!) Sold out every week it was. It never crossed my mind at that time that I might want to
work here, though I’m not quite sure why... Many years after those glorious 50p days, and by my tried and trusted method of leaving it to chance that
I’ll end up in the right place at the right time, I was phoned by my then flatmate, who worked here, and asked if could I help out and cover an ushering
shift, as someone hadn’t turned up. I said yes, was that night offered a regular ushering shift, which I took, and soon realised I might quite like the job of
the person who chooses the films for this marvellous cinematic emporium. Only four people stood in my way... I’ve said enough.
This month’s programme is the usual, dare I say, excellent and eclectic mix ranging from Suite Française, Saul Dibb’s handsome and moving WWII
drama, set in occupied France and based on the ‘lost’ and ultimately best-selling novel of the same name by Irène Némirovsky (the book was penned
contemporaneously to events depicted, but only discovered by the author’s daughter in the late 1990s), to Bill Forsyth’s classic debut, That Sinking
Feeling, in a new digital version; from Julianne Moore’s likely Oscar-winning turn as a woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s in Still Alice to X+Y, the
poignant and moving tale of a young maths prodigy (Asa ‘Hugo’ Butterfield) with Asperger’s Syndrome; from Paul Thomas Anderson’s “gloriously
rambunctious” (according to the Guardian) Inherent Vice, screening here in 35mm, to Louis Malle’s semi-autobiographical masterpiece Au revoir les
enfants; and from strikingly beautiful documentary (EIFF prizewinner 2014), My Name Is Salt, which follows a year in the life of salt harvesters in Gujarat,
India (and which we’re distributing ourselves, we liked it so much!), to a stunning new restoration of Powell and Pressburger’s sumptuous film of
Offenbach’s classic opera, The Tales of Hoffmann.
The Italian Film Festival, now in its 22nd edition, graces our screens from 6 to 19 March, and our four-year First World War in Cinema season continues
with Stanley Kubrick’s sublime Paths of Glory. All that and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is still with us, very possibly throughout the whole
month, though that will be dependent on how many of you come and see it. C’mon, let’s have it on for weeks!

PG – Contains mild bad language, sex references
Cast: Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Richard Gere, Dev
Patel.
Sonny (Dev Patel) has his eye on a second promising
property now that his first venture, The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful, has only a
single remaining vacancy – posing a rooming predicament
for fresh arrivals Guy (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin
Greig). Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy)
have now joined the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering
where their regular dates for Chilla pancakes will lead,
while Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and Diana
Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an
exclusive relationship, as Madge (Celia Imrie) juggles two
eligible and very wealthy suitors. And newly installed comanager of the hotel, Muriel (Maggie Smith), is the keeper
of everyone’s secrets...
Paul Thomas Anderson’s (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There
Will Be Blood, The Master) wild and entrancing new movie,
adapted from a Thomas Pynchon novel, is a cinematic
time machine, placing the viewer deep within the world
of the paranoid, hazy Los Angeles dope culture of the
early ’70s. Joaquin Phoenix goes all the way for Anderson
(just as he did in The Master) playing Doc Sportello, the
private investigator searching for his ex-girlfriend Shasta
(Katherine Waterston), menaced at every turn by Josh
Brolin as police detective Bigfoot Bjornsen.
“Gloriously rambunctious.” - The Guardian
Screening from 35mm film.
A brilliant adaptation of Philip Barry’s hit Broadway comedy
about a society girl (Katharine Hepburn) who yearns for
down-to-earth romance: Cary Grant is her ex-husband,
James Stewart a fast-talking (!) reporter who falls in love
with her. The entire cast is excellent and Stewart won an
Academy Award for his performance. The story was later
filmed again as musical High Society.
Mon 9 to Thu 12 Mar
Louis Malle • France/West Germany/Italy 1987 • 1h45m
Digital • French, German, English, Greek and Latin with English
subtitles • 12A – Contains moderate sex references, moderate
bad language, scenes of smoking
Cast: Gaspard Manesse, Raphael Fejtö, Francine Racette, Stanislas
Carré de Malberg, Philippe Morier-Genoud, François Berléand.
One of the great movies about World War Two and the
German Occupation, Louis Malle’s semi-autobiographical
drama is set in January 1944 at a Catholic boarding school.
This deeply affecting film traces the friendship between two
12-year-olds, one from a wealthy Catholic family, the other a
Jewish boy hidden by the priests, his identity concealed.
“It’s a work that has the kind of simplicity, ease and density
of detail that only a filmmaker in total command of his
craft can bring off, and then only rarely.” - New York Times

Based on the best-selling novel by Irène Némirovsky
and set during the German occupation of France during
the Second World War, Suite Française tells the story
of Lucile Angellier (Michelle Williams), who is leading a
stifled existence with her domineering mother-in-law
(Kristin Scott Thomas) as she awaits news of her husband,
a prisoner of war. When Parisian refugees pour into their
village, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers
who board in the residents’ homes, Lucile’s life is turned
upside down – and is further complicated by the arrival of
refined German officer, Bruno (Matthias Schoenaerts).
Filmhouse’s latest release as a distributor is a strikingly
beautiful portrayal of an extraordinary world.
Every year, just after the monsoon season has finished,
thousands of families travel to a bleak desert in Gujarat,
India, where they will stay for the next eight months and
extract salt from the earth, using the same painstaking,
manual techniques as generations before them. Director
Farida Pacha and cinematographer Lutz Konermann spent
a season with one of these families, observing the very
particular rhythms of their lives and crafting an exquisite,
lyrical film in the process.

In films like In a Better World, After the Wedding and
Brothers, Academy Award-winning director Susanne
Bier created characters who found themselves derailed
by sudden, drastic changes, forcing them to confront
previously suppressed tensions between desire, need, and
ethics. Bier’s latest presents what may be the most extreme
and disturbing moral conundrum she’s examined to date.
Veteran police officer Andreas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau,
Game of Thrones) is happily married to the beautiful
Anne (Maria Bonnevie), who has just given birth to
their first child. The only cloud on Andreas’s otherwise
untroubled horizon is his partner, Simon (Ulrich
Thomsen), who is having enormous trouble adjusting
to his divorce, and whose drinking binges are becoming
alarmingly frequent. Andreas’s comfortable life is then
thrown into sharp relief when a domestic disturbance
brings him back in contact with an abusive junkie, whose
girlfriend has also just given birth.

Revealed afresh in this remarkable Technicolor restoration,
Powell and Pressburger’s 1951 musical phantasmagoria is
the stuff of beautiful nightmares.
A balletic adaptation of Offenbach’s opera about the
German Romantic author ETA Hoffmann, and adapted
from three of his gothic tales ‘on the folly of love’, this
intensely composed film rivals even The Red Shoes
for its cinematic daring, and its avowed belief in the
transcendence of art over death. That film’s star, Moira
Shearer, returns here to play three very different women:
a dancer who discovers that she is actually a marionette;
a courtesan in Venice; and an opera singer dying of
consumption.
This stunning new restoration (containing previously
unseen footage) from the original 3-strip Technicolor
negative unleashes feverish colours straight from the
candy box: a cacophony of clashing yellows and purples as
disturbing as they are enchanting.

1967 saw Julie Christie and Terence Stamp immortalised by
The Kinks in ‘Waterloo Sunset’, and cast as lovers in Thomas
Hardy’s epic love story. Headstrong and independent
Bathsheba Everdene unexpectedly inherits a large farm in
rural Dorset. Struggling to manage the farm herself, she
captivates the hearts and minds of three very different men:
an honest and hardworking sheep farmer, a wealthy but
tortured landowner, and a reckless and violent swordsman.
But as emotions become entangled, free spirited and
innocent folly soon leads to devastating tragedy.
Screening in a new restoration which beautifully showcases
Nicolas Roeg’s stunning cinematography and the harsh
beauty of the Dorset landscape.
The great Alain Resnais passed away last year at the age
of 91. Fortunately, we have the pleasure and privilege of
enjoying his final film, the deliciously theatrical Life of Riley,
based on an Alan Ayckbourn play about three couples
dealing with the news that their mutual friend is terminally
ill. Shot on sound stages with painted backgrounds
bursting with candy colours, the film has all of the energy
and inventiveness of the work of a young artist.
The fourth feature from acclaimed Austrian auteur Jessica
Hausner (Lovely Rita, Lourdes) is a disarmingly humorous
and romantic rendition of the events preceding the
double suicide of nineteenth-century German poet
Heinrich von Kleist (Christian Friedel) and his platonic
devotee Henriette Vogel (Birte Schnoeink).
Ready to embrace the end, but only if he has a companion
on his journey to the great beyond, the po-faced young
poet scours Berlin’s high-society soirees in search of a
woman who shares his death wish. We gradually become
more and more sympathetic to Heinrich’s endeavour,
despite its grim nature, as the film reveals the depth of his
twin desires for love and oblivion.

2014 marked the 20th anniversary of democracy

landmark date, South Africa at 20: The Freedom
Tour, a season of South African cinema, is taking

across the UK, bringing the diversity, creative
innovation and technical brilliance of South
African cinema to British audiences.
For more information on the tour go to
www.safilmtour.uk
South Africa at 20: The Freedom Tour is supported by the
British Film Institute’s Programming Development Fund and
the South African Season in the United Kingdom 2014 & 2015.
The SA-UK Seasons is a partnership between the Department
of Arts and Culture, South Africa, and the British Council.

to tolerate a society founded on principles of slavery and
disempowerment of South Africa’s majority black population.
The screening will be introduced by Lizelle Bisschoff,

As South Africa celebrates the 20th anniversary of the
advent of democracy in 1994, it is difficult to believe the
‘Mandela miracle’ nearly didn’t happen. In an orgy of
countrywide violence, some were intent on derailing the first
free elections. Now, for the first time, those responsible for
countless deaths and widespread mayhem explain how they
nearly brought South Africa to its knees. 1994: The Bloody
Miracle is a chilling look at what these hard men did to
thwart democracy, and how they have now made an uneasy
peace with the ‘Rainbow Nation’ in their own different ways.
The screening will be introduced by Lizelle Bisschoff,
director of South Africa at 20: The Freedom Tour.
Wed 1 Apr at 8.35pm
In August 2012, mineworkers in one of South Africa’s
biggest platinum mines began a wildcat strike for better
wages. Six days later the police used live ammunition to
brutally suppress the strike, killing 34 and injuring many
more. Using the point of view of the Marikana miners,
Miners Shot Down follows the strike from day one,
showing the courageous but isolated fight waged by a
group of low-paid workers against the combined forces of
the mining company Lonmin, the ANC government and
their allies in the National Union of Mineworkers. What
emerges is collusion at the top, spiralling violence and the
country’s first post-apartheid massacre. South Africa will
never be the same again.
The screening will be followed by a discussion on the
ongoing struggle for human rights in post-apartheid
South Africa, featuring a panel of experts and chaired
by Lizelle Bisschoff, director of South Africa at 20: The
Freedom Tour.

Plucky farm girl Fern (Dakota Fanning) rescues Wilbur

Cast: Edoardo Leo, Valeria Solarino, Valerio Aprea, Paolo
Calabresi, Libero De Rienzo.

Cast: Giuseppe Battiston, Teco Celio, Rok Prasnikar, Roberto
Citran, Sylvain Chomet.
Sacked from his university job, Pietro keeps the truth from
his wife as he struggles to pay the bills. He decides there is
money to be made in the production of ‘smart drugs’, and
former colleagues are happy to join him in the enterprise.
All they have to do is remain inconspicuous and not
attract the attention of a local drugs kingpin. This wildlyentertaining mixture of Breaking Bad and The Lavender Hill
Mob proved the most successful Italian comedy of 2014.
Paolo, a feckless, unreliable misanthrope with a fondness
for booze, is left to look after his shy, studious teenage
nephew Zoran. When Zoran proves to have a special talent
at darts, Paolo senses a goldmine, and begins training him
for a world championship in Scotland. Initially a match
made in hell, their relationship proves rewarding in ways
they could never have imagined. Matteo Oleotto’s awardwinning comedy combines echoes of Rain Man and Uncle
Buck with the melancholy of Bill Forsyth.
Smetto quando voglio
Benvenuti to the 22nd edition of the Italian Film
Festival. Curated by Allan Hunter and Richard
Mowe and partnered by principal funder the
Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Edimburgo, Filmhouse
and Glasgow Film Theatre, as well as supporters
Valvona & Crolla VinCaffè and Fratelli Sarti,
Glasgow plus Ibis Styles Hotel, Edinburgh, it runs
from 6 to 19 March 2015.
Our new edition highlights an exciting and diverse
line-up of contemporary and classic Italian cinema,
including hilarious comedies, insightful dramas,
seat-edge thrillers and classics from award-winning
directors and featuring stellar acting talents.
One of this year’s particular highlights is a special
focus on Francesco Rosi, who died earlier this year,
with two of his acclaimed films in restored copies
– Illustrious Corpses and The Mattei Affair. In
addition there is a focus on Marco Bellocchio and
his courageous and innovative work.
Join the celebration of all that’s best in il cinema
italiano.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with with

Ivano De Matteo • Italy 2014 • 1h32m
Cast: Alessandro Gassman, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Luigi Lo
Cascio, Barbora Bobulova, Rosabell Laurenti Sellers.
Two brothers and their wives meet regularly for dinner.
Their respective children are close friends at school, which
helps to maintain the pretence of close family ties. When
the children are out one night, someone dies and the
parents tear themselves apart as they try to figure out the
best course of action to take to protect the family. Herman
Koch’s nailbiting novel presented a chilling view of modern
morality, and Ivan De Matteo’s screen version proves
equally enthralling.

Andrea Segre • Italy 2013 • 1h44m
Cast: Matteo Marchel, Jean-Christophe Folly, Anita Caprioli,
Giuseppe Battiston, Peter Mitterrutzner.
Fri 13 Mar at 8.45pm
The incomparable Gianni Di Gregorio follows Mid-August
Lunch and The Salt of Life with another gem, sprinkled
with his sly wit and irresistible charm.
Easygoing Gianni looks forward to retirement - until he
is informed that a change in the law obliges him to work
three more years. Faced with the outrageous possibility of
having to do a full day’s work, he sets about finding a way
to achieve a quiet life in this jaunty, melancholic Roman
comedy.
The Mafia Kills Only in Summer
La mafia uccide solo d’estate
Pierfrancesco Diliberto • Italy 2013 • 1h30m
Cast: Cristiana Capotondi, Pierfrancesco Diliberto, Alex Bisconti,
Ginevra Antona.
Arturo is born into a Sicily dominated by crime, corruption
and execution. His childhood in 1970s Palermo is marked
by his love for classmate Flora and a devotion to Prime
Minister Andreotti. True tales of those who gave their lives
in the fight against organised crime are interwoven with
Arturo’s story in an inspired coming-of-age comedy that
pays heartwarming tribute to all of those who have fallen
in the long struggle against the Mafia.
Dani is an African refugee struggling to make a new
life for himself and his daughter. His employer is elderly
carpenter Pietro, whose eleven-year-old grandson Michele
is haunted by the death of his father. Bitter grief provides
the common ground between them in this tender tale
of the shared humanity in two lost souls. A melancholy,
sensitively-handled drama, graced by the luminous
cinematography of Luca Bigazzi who captures the
staggering beauty of the changing Alpine seasons.
China Is Near La Cina è vicina
Greenery Will Bloom Again
Ermanno Olmi • Italy 2014 • 1h20m
Digital • Italian with English subtitles • 12A
Cast: Claudio Santamaria, Camillo Grassi, Niccolò Senni, Andrea
Di Maria, Francesco Formichetti.
Veteran director Ermanno Olmi brings an intensely
personal perspective to the horrors of the First World War,
depicting events in which his own father played a part. In
the winter of 1917, a senior officer arrives with orders from
High Command. Cold, wracked with fevers and terrified by
what lies ahead, the troops prepare to make the ultimate
sacrifice. Beautifully photographed, the film offers simple,
eloquent testimony that “war is an ugly beast that travels
around the world and never ceases”.
Thu 12 Mar at 8.45pm
Leopardi Il giovane favoloso
Marco Bellocchio • Italy 1967 • 1h47m
Cast: Glauco Mauri, Elda Tattoli, Paolo Graziosi, Daniela Surina,
Pierluigi Aprà.
Sat 14 Mar at 8.35pm
An aristocratic professor is pursuing a political career as
a Socialist candidate. His indolent sister enjoys a life of
pleasure whilst his teenage brother marches for Mao
and plots to unmask his brother’s lack of conviction.
Their privileged lifestyle comes under attack when a pair
of working class lovers plot to marry into the ranks of
the wealthy landed gentry. Marco Bellocchio’s lovinglyrestored black comedy anticipates the upheavals of May
1968 and remains a splendidly caustic excursion into class
conflict and sexual politics.
Mario Martone • Italy 2014 • 2h17m • Digital
Italian, Greek, French and Neapolitan with English subtitles • 15
Cast: Elio Germano, Michele Riondino, Massimo Popolizio, Anna
Mouglalis, Valerio Binasco.
Poet, philosopher and philologist Giacomo Leopardi
remains one of Italy’s greatest literary figures, and Mario
Martone’s biography offers us a darkly insightful portrait.
A noble’s son who fights against the expectations placed
upon him by his class and physical frailty, Leopardi lives with
restless intensity as the world gradually opens up to him.

Sun 15 Mar at 8.30pm
Francesco Rosi • Italy/France 1976 • 2h

Cast: Lino Ventura, Tino Carraro, Fernando Rey, Max von Sydow,
Charles Vanel.

Italian with English subtitles • 15 • Documentary
Edoardo Winspeare • Italy 2014 • 2h7m
Cast: Celeste Casciaro, Laura Licchetta, Anna Boccadamo,
Barbara De Matteis, Gustavo Caputo.
In a country rocked by political unrest, a district attorney
is murdered in Palermo, and dogged inspector Rogas
(Lino Ventura) is assigned to the case. As two judges
are subsequently murdered, he tries to make sense of a
killing spree that appears linked to official corruption and
miscarriages of justice, but grows increasingly uneasy about
the cynicism of the state and the true price of dissent. A
film that remains strikingly relevant, Illustrious Corpses
remains one of the finest in Francesco Rosi’s long career.
The screening will by introduced by by Dr Pasquale
Iannone (University of Edinburgh).
The Mattei Affair Il caso Mattei
Mon 16 Mar at 8.40pm
Francesco Rosi • Italy 1972 • 1h56m • Digital
Italian and English with English subtitles • 15
Cast: Gian Maria Volonté, Luigi Squarzina, Gianfranco Ombuen.
Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Francesco Rosi’s
conspiracy thriller provides a striking insight into post-war
Italy and the bitter realities of global capitalism. Gian Maria
Volonté stars as Enrico Mattei, a man dubbed “the most
powerful Italian since Caesar Augustus”. His death in a 1962
air crash remains shrouded in suspicion, and Rosi’s film
takes the form of an investigation into Mattei’s personality
and his rise from wartime hero to key figure in Italy’s
economic boom.
Veteran director Gianni Amelio came out as gay in his
late sixties and subsequently compiled this documentary
recording the experiences of twenty elderly gay men and
one transsexual who lived through the Fascist years and
the decades that followed. There are tales of prejudice and
oppression, religious conflict, antiquated attitudes and
bitter self-loathing, as well as the small victories of those
who strove to be true to themselves. Happy to Be Different
offers moving first-hand testimony from the long struggle
for equality.
Europe’s economic crisis presents one family with a
bittersweet opportunity to get back to basics in Edoardo
Winspeare’s beautiful, warmhearted drama. When a
small, family-run textile factory is forced to close, Adele
persuades her sister and daughter to take refuge at
the family’s Salento olive grove overlooking the sea.
Three generations of women work the farm, selling
fruit, vegetables and eggs to pay off their debts, and
reconnecting with the land has profound effects on their
relationships, responsibilities and pursuit of happiness.
Darker Than Midnight
Più buio di mezzanotte
Sebastiano Riso • Italy 2014 • 1h38m • Digital
Italian, English and French with English subtitles • 15
Cast: Davide Capone, Vincenzo Amato, Micaela Ramazzotti,
Pippo del Bono, Fabio Grossi.
Sebastiano Riso’s debut feature tells the true story of the
teenage boy who became the renowned drag queen Fuxia
in Rome’s historic gay bar Muccassassina, contrasting his
coming-of-age with painful memories of the home life he
has survived. Newcomer Davide Capone gives a striking
performance as the fourteen year-old David Cordova, who
finds a new family in the community of outsiders who live
on the margins of society.

The Gospel According to St Matthew/Paths of Glory/In Bloom
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST MATTHEW
SPECIALSCREENING
A special screening in association with the Italian
Cultural Institute and the University of Edinburgh,
part of a season of events celebrating the work
of Pier Paolo Pasolini. For details see
www.iicedimburgo.esteri.it
The Gospel According to St Matthew
Il vangelo secondo Matteo
Pier Paolo Pasolini • Italy/France 1964 • 2h17m
Digital • Italian with English subtitles
PG – Contains moderate violence, hanging and crucifixion scenes
Cast: Enrique Irazoqui, Margherita Caruso, Susanna Pasolini,
Marcello Morante, Mario Socrate.
Pasolini’s vision of the life of Christ is astonishing in its
inventiveness and understated, hypnotic power. Using nonprofessional actors (including Irazoqui as Christ and Pasolini’s
own mother as the Virgin Mary), the film was shot near the
southern Italian city of Matera, the same location that Mel
Gibson would later use for The Passion of the Christ.
The screening will be introduced by Professor Robert
Gordon (Cambridge University).
From 6 March to 4 April there will be an exhibition of
photographs by Angelo Novi, taken on the set of the
film, in Filmhouse Cafe Bar.
PATHS OF GLORY
SPECIALSCREENING
Paths of Glory
Stanley Kubrick • USA 1957 • 1h27m
Digital • PG – Contains moderate war violence
Cast: Kirk Douglas, Adolphe Menjou, Ralph Meeker, George
Macready, Wayne Morris.
Set in the trenches of France’s Western Front during World
War I, Paths of Glory remains one of the most moving film
portrayals of war. A vain and ambitious French general,
Mireau, is manipulated by his wily superior into a hopeless
attack on an impregnable German position. When the attack
inevitably fails, Mireau takes his anger out on his men.
The events upon which the film is based occurred on
17 March 1915 (a different date than that given in the
film), when four French corporals were shot for refusing
to advance out of their trenches through the carnage
of no man’s land. The circumstances of the ‘crime’ – the
senselessness of the advance, the order to bombard their
own troops, the fury of the reprisal – inspired novelist
Humphrey Cobb, and subsequently a young Stanley Kubrick,
who, remarkably, filmed this adaptation at the age of 29.
Screening as part of The First World War in Cinema, a
four-year series of films, programmed in association with
the University of Edinburgh, that relate to the First World
War, some timed to coincide with the real events of 100
years ago and others which are not tied to specific dates.
The screening will be introduced by
Professor Jolyon Mitchell, Director of the
Centre for Theology and Public Issues
(CTPI) at the University of Edinburgh.
IN BLOOM
SPECIALSCREENING
A special screening to mark International
Women’s Day.
In Bloom Grzeli nateli dgeebi
Sun 8 Mar at 5.30pm
Nana Ekvtimishvili & Simon Groß • Georgia/Germany/France
2013 • 1h42m • Digital • Georgian with English subtitles
15 – Contains strong language
Cast: Lika Babluani, Mariam Bokeria, Zurab Gogaladze, Data
Zakareishvili, Ana Nijaradze.
An impressive coming-of-age story from Georgia, In Bloom
tells a universal and personal story about female friendship
and fatal feuds with the help of brilliant cinematography,
superb production design and two teenage actresses who
effortlessly draw the audience into their world.
It’s the early 90s in Tbilisi, capital of the newly independent
Georgia. The Soviet Union having collapsed, the country
is facing chaos: a war on the Black Sea coast, violence and
vigilante justice plaguing the streets of the city. Eka and
Natia (Lika Babluani and Mariam Bokeria, respectively,
both excellent) are inseparable friends living with their
families in crumbling high-rise apartments. Though their
world appears to be coming apart at the seams, the two of
them are interested in the same things most 14-year-olds
are: classroom gossip, the neighbourhood boys and their
growing awareness of their own sexuality and power.
Screenwriter and co-director (with Simon Groß) Nana
Ekvtimishvili draws on her personal memories of growing
up at this difficult time to fashion this compelling debut
feature.

Hiroshi Shimizu • Japan 1937 • 1h28m
DCP • Japanese with English subtitles
U – Contains mild violence, nudity
Cast: Jun Yokoyama, Masao Hayama, Reikichi Kawamura.
Another chance to see this season of rare films about
children from all over the world, curated by Mark
Cousins and inspired by his documentary, A Story
of Children and Film. Emotionally engaging with
audiences from 8 to 80, the Cinema of Childhood
invites filmgoers to go on a global adventure, to
discover previously unknown movie masterpieces
and to see the world anew through young eyes.
Since we first screened these films in 2014, we have
toured them to 56 venues around the UK, and
between them they have screened nearly 450 times!

When Sampei’s father is falsely imprisoned for fraud, his
idyllic life falls apart. Sent to stay with his uncle, Sampei runs
away any chance he gets – up a tree, down the river, to the
circus. If only his father can clear his name, everything will
be all right again. Hiroshi Shimizu’s luminous masterpiece is
nearly 80 years old, but still shines brightly.
The King of Masks Bian Lian
FORBIDDEN GAMES
Forbidden Games Jeux interdits
René Clément • France 1952 • 1h26m • DCP
French with English subtitles • 12A – Contains emotionally
intense scenes and one use of moderate language
Cast: Georges Poujouly, Brigitte Fossey, Amédée, Laurence Badie,
Suzanne Courtal.
German fighter planes massacre a column of middle-class
refugees fleeing Paris on a country road. A dazed little
orphaned girl is left wandering the fields clutching her
dead dog. She’s adopted by a peasant boy who brings her
into his eccentric family. The children retreat into a fantasy
world, but they cannot hide from reality forever. René
Clément’s angry masterpiece blends tragedy and farce into
a heart-breaking account of children caught in a war they
can’t possibly understand.
Wu Tiang-ming • China/Hong Kong 1996 • 1h41m
DCP • Mandarin with English subtitles
PG – Contains mild bad language
Cast: Zhang Zhigang, Zhao Zhigang, Zhou Renying, Zhu Xu.
An old illusionist in China needs an heir to pass on the
secret of his mask tricks – so he buys himself a grandson
from a needy peasant. A swooping emotional drama
about a kid who wants to be loved, and an old man who
learns how to open his heart.

Hugo and Josephine Hugo och Josefin
Kjell Grede • Sweden 1967 • 1h22m
DCP • Swedish with English subtitles
PG – Contains potentially imitable behaviour, mild violence
Cast: Fredrik Becklén, Marie Öhman, Beppe Wolgers, Inga
Landgré, Helena Brodin.
The lonely daughter of a rural pastor makes friends with a
wild boy who lives in the woods. The mysterious giant who
tends the garden seems sinister, but is really a big teddy
bear. The darkness of the world beyond childhood lingers
at the edge of the frame, but never intrudes. Kjell Grede
delivers a Swedish summer classic, blond and gorgeous
and heart-breakingly innocent. A pure pleasure.
HUGO AND JOSEPHINE
Little Fugitive
LITTLE FUGITIVE
Tomka and His Friends
Tomka dhe shokët e tij
Morris Engel, Ray Ashley & Ruth Orkin • USA 1953 • 1h20m
DCP • PG – Contains mild frightening moments
Cast: Richard Brewster, Winifred Cushing, Jay Williams, Will Lee,
Charlie Moss.
After their mother leaves them home alone in New York
for the weekend, 7-year-old Joey is tricked into thinking
he’s killed his older brother with an air rifle. So he runs
away, to the funfair at Coney Island, to get lost in the rides,
the spectacle. Filmmaker Morris Engel and his team see
so much in him: a cowboy, the boy in Shane, the kid in
Chaplin’s The Kid. Truffaut credited this film with inspiring
the French New Wave.
Long Live the Republic At’ zije republika
TOMKA AND HIS FRIENDS
Xhanfise Keko • Albania 1977 • 1h18m
DCP • Albanian, German and Italian with English subtitles
PG – Contains mild bad language, violence
Cast: Sotiraq Çili, Pavlina Oça, Zehrudin Dokle, Xhelal Tafaj, Enea
Zhegu.
When the Nazis occupy an Albanian village after the
withdrawal of the Italian army from WWII, Tomka and his
gang are furious – because the Germans set up camp on
their football pitch. The local partisans recruit the boys to
spy on the invaders, and help to set an ambush. Who knew
war could be this much fun? Albania’s greatest female
director Xhanfise Keko spins a classic boys’ own adventure
yarn, but in a style as raw and authentic as anything from
the Italian neo-realists. Never before seen in the UK, freshly
restored, this is a rare discovery.
Karel Kachyna • Czechoslovakia 1965 • 2h14m • DCP
Czech with English subtitles • 12A – Contains moderate violence
Cast: Zdenek Lstiburek, Vlado Müller, Nadezda Gajerová, Gustáv
Valach.
Oldrich is the runt of his village, beaten by his father, bullied
by the other boys. But he has imagination on his side, and
a wiry toughness they can’t defeat. The village is in turmoil,
because the Nazi occupiers have just retreated and the Red
Army is advancing upon them. Oldrich dodges amid the
mayhem and panic, taking his share of blows but always
managing to stay one step ahead. Beautifully shot and
darkly ironic, Karel Kachyna’s forgotten masterpiece jumbles
reality, memory and fantasy to capture the intensity and
confusion of childhood in a war zone.

That Sinking Feeling
White Shadow
Thu 2 Apr at 8.35pm
Noaz Deshe • Tanzania/Germany/Italy 2013 • 1h57m
Digital • Swahili with English subtitles • 15
Cast: Hamisi Bazili, Riziki Ally, Tito D Ntanga, Salum Abdallah.
Not only an ancient tradition but a modern-day practice,
the underground trade of albino body parts still exists
in Tanzania, ironically a country with one of the highest
percentages of albinism in the world. Used primarily by
witch doctors, these parts can command prices of tens
of thousands of dollars, offering a tempting source of
revenue for the working class. In Noaz Deshe’s White
Shadow, Alias, an albino youth on the verge of
adolescence, must learn to navigate a world in which he is
not just an outsider, but actual prey.
The film’s fractured and uneasy world zigzags between the
village and the city, from transcendent flights of fancy to
scenes of desperate brutality. But despite the pervasive,
often harrowing amorality of this world, it’s one not
entirely bereft of hope.
The screening will be introduced by Justine Atkinson,
Director of Aya Distribution.
Bill Forsyth • UK 1979 • 1h30m • Digital
12A – Contains strong language, sexualised nudity, suicide
references
Cast: Robert Buchanan, John Hughes, Billy Greenlees, Douglas
Sannachan.
Bill Forsyth’s debut feature, a hilarious and inventive zerobudget depiction of 1970s Glasgow youth, screening in a
new restoration.
Unemployed teenager Ronnie (Robert Buchanan,
Gregory’s Girl) and his hapless pals spend their time
hanging around the rainy parks and dingy cafes of
Glasgow, but their world changes when Ronnie hatches a
plan to make them all rich by sealing a job-lot of stainless
steel sinks.
“Forsyth successfully captured the subversively ironic
optimism of the Glasgow streets and somehow managed
to combine it with the good-humoured charm of the best
Ealing comedies.” - Time Out

Filmosophy/Secret Histories: Screening Irish History
PROOF
Filmosophy
Filmosophy returns for a fourth season of original
and thought-provoking films. This season focuses
on the distinction between appearance and reality.
Each film provides a unique perspective on this
philosophical problem, using the notions of sight
and blindness as powerful metaphors. Questions
addressed include: What is the ultimate nature of
reality? How do we gain knowledge of the world
around us? What, if anything, can we know for
certain? In addition, the nature of film itself - as
a medium that trades in appearances and yet is
intimately connected to reality - will be explored.
Each screening will be preceded by a short
introduction and followed by an opportunity
to discuss the philosophical issues raised in an
informal and accessible manner. The screenings
will be introduced and discussion sessions hosted
by James Mooney (Lecturer in Film and Philosophy
and Open Studies Course Organiser at The
University of Edinburgh). For more details on screenings or to continue the
discussion, ‘like’ Filmosophy on Facebook, follow

Proof
Jocelyn Moorhouse • Australia 1991 • 1h30m • 35mm
15 – Contains strong language and sexualised nudity
Cast: Hugo Weaving, Geneviève Picot, Russell Crowe, Heather
Mitchell, Jeffrey Walker.
Australian filmmaker Jocelyn Moorhouse made an
auspicious debut with this dry, dark comedy about a blind
photographer. Martin (Hugo Weaving) walks in the park
with his guide dog and takes pictures, aiming his camera
at sounds or objects he feels with his hands. Since he can
never see what he shoots, he needs someone to describe
what he has photographed, but he trusts no one –
particularly not his manipulative, controlling housekeeper
Celia (Geneviève Picot).

Kim Ki-duk • South Korea/Japan 2004 • 1h28m

15 – Contains moderate sex and violence
Cast: Jae Hee, Lee Seung-yeon, Kwon Hyuk-ho, Choi Jeong-ho.
Keith Farrell • Ireland 2013 • 1h37m • DCP
12A – Contains moderate violence and one use of strong
language
Cast: Hugh O’Conor, Owen McDonnell, Rick Burn, Gina Costigan,
Seamus Hughes.
Korean writer-director Kim Ki-duk captures raw realities
about modern life while telling a genuinely touching
romance using virtually no dialogue. Tae-suk (Jae Hee) is
a young man who takes up residence in homes that sit
empty while the occupants are on holiday. He cleans, does
the laundry, indulges in subtle practical jokes, then moves
on. This pattern changes drastically when he takes up
residence in the upscale home of Min-kyu and Sun-hwa,
a hothead, golf-obsessed businessman and his battered
trophy-wife.
SCOTTISH PREMIERE
Ireland’s bloody 1916 Easter Rising was an early bid for the
nation’s independence, but the massive loss of life was a
tragedy that still resonates through the Irish diaspora. This
meticulously researched docudrama combines archive
footage and dramatic re-enactments based on first-hand
accounts to vividly recreate the ferocious battles of
Dublin’s Mount Street and North King Street, as seen from
the perspective of the Irish Volunteers, British soldiers, and
innocent civilians.

Introduction to
European Cinema
Now in its tenth year at Filmhouse,
Introduction to European Cinema provides a
great opportunity to see some of the classics
of European cinema on the big screen, many of
which are very rarely shown.
Curated by specialists in European cinema
from the University of Edinburgh’s Division
of European Languages and Cultures, the
screenings form part of a University course, but
you don’t need to be a student to come along!
Each screening will be preceded by a short
introduction by Dr Leanne Dawson (Lecturer
in German and Film Studies at the University
of Edinburgh and IEC Course Organiser) or
another University of Edinburgh academic
working on European Cinema.

1h46m • 35mm • Swedish with English subtitles
15 – Contains strong language and moderate sex
Cast: Lisa Lindgren, Michael Nyqvist, Gustav Hammarsten, Emma
Samuelsson, Sam Kessel.
Swedish writer and director Lukas Moodysson’s
wonderfully idiosyncratic and charming comedy drama set
in a 1975 commune in Stockholm. The equilibrium of the
commune is thrown off kilter when Goran’s sister Elisabeth
arrives with her two children, seeking sanctuary from her
alcoholic and violent husband Rolf. Moodysson pokes fun
at the alternate lifestyle of these freethinkers but at the
same time demonstrates an abiding affection for them.

35mm • English and Various languages with English subtitles
15 – Contains strong language, violence, sex references and
drug use
Cast: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael García Bernal, Adriana
Barraza, Rinko Kikuchi.
According to the Christian legend that inspired Babel,
language is the barrier that keeps the world’s masses
from ascendancy. Handily the world also provides director
Alejandro González Iñárritu with an epic stage to exercise
his talent for multi-strand storytelling, in this uncommonly
raw and startling portrait of humanity. The story is a
variation on the so-called butterfly effect. Here, a gun fired
more or less at random has consequences in Morocco, the
United States, Mexico and Japan.
