A SIMPLE LIFE (PG)
MISSION TO LARS (15)
With English Subtitles
Dir: James Moore United Kingdom 2012 74m
With English Subtitles
Dir: Ann Hui Hong Kong 2011 118m
Dir: Philippe Le Guay France 2010 106m
Starring: Andy Lau, Deannie Yip
Starring: Fabrice Luchini, Sandrine Kiberlain
Based on a true story, A Simple Life tells the heart-warming tale of the relationship between Roger and Ah Tao, a young master of a big family and the servant who raised him as she faces the ravages of old age. Features an astounding performance from Deanie Yip as Ah Tao, for which she won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival.
Worth your time, as well as your cash (profits go to Mencap), Mission to Lars chronicles Kate and Will Spicer’s road trip round America with their brother, Tom, in pursuit of Lars Ulrich – the drummer from Metallica. It’s a challenge, not just because Metallica aren’t easy to meet, but because Tom, now 40, has Fragile X Syndrome; “a sort of autism with bells on” in Kate’s words. This is a film with rare honesty and nuance in a field that frequently feels queasy. The Guardian
THE WOMEN ON THE 6TH FLOOR (12A)
A fabulous all-star cast delivers the goods in Philippe Le Guay’s riotous upstairs/downstairs comedy hit set in Paris in 1960. Jean-Louis lives a bourgeois existence absorbed in his work, cohabitating peacefully with his socialite wife. But the couple’s world is turned upside-down when they hire a Spanish maid and Jean-Louis learns that there’s more to life than stocks and bonds!
WED 15, FROM 6PM CHINESE FOOD NIGHT To enhance your enjoyment of A Simple Life.
THU 9, FROM 6PM SPANISH & FRENCH FOOD NIGHT To complement this Franco-Spanish comedy.
With echoes of Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, Magnus Marten’s Jackpot (based on a story by Jo Nesbo) is a slick, ultra-violent black comedy with a mischievous plot that twists and turns right up until the final gunshot rings out. Edinburgh Film Festival

In 1993 London, IRA operative Colette is offered a terrible deal by MI5 agent Mac: she can avoid a lengthy prison sentence only if she agrees to spy for MI5 back home in Belfast. But when she gets home, she finds that the IRA leader already knows that there’s a spy in their midst. Meanwhile, Mac starts to suspect that something’s up with his secretive boss... A thriller with an ever-thickening plot, Shadow Dancer is a riveting portrait of shifting convictions and entangled loyalties.
Eight-year-old Nicolas is enjoying his life with his great gang of friends, his long-suffering but friendly teacher, and his loving parents. But when he thinks he overhears that his mother is pregnant, he panics. With a new baby around, what will happen to him? He imagines the worst and hatches a mischievous plan with his friends. Based on the classic book of the same name by Asterix author René Goscinny, this quirky comedy can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages.
Starring: Toby Jones
This documentary charts the amazing history of UK independent cinema, taking a tour of some of the most magical picture houses in the country and focusing on The Electric in Birmingham, the oldest working cinema in Britain. Before the screening, our own Andy Batson will talk about the history of Broadway and there’ll be an opportunity to see the projection box after the film.
LE PETIT NICOLAS (PG)
(CERT TBC)
Dir: Sarah Polley United States 2011 116m
Dir: James Marsh United Kingdom 2012 101m
Dir: Robert B Weide United States 2012 113m
Dir: Tony Gilroy United States 2012
Starring: Seth Rogen, Michelle Williams
This fascinating documentary examines the creative life of the filmmaker from his early years, to his days writing for TV and doing stand up to his recent Oscar® win for Midnight in Paris. Woody’s impressive four-decade career is illustrated with countless clips and the film includes interviews with Woody’s mother, his sister and producing partner Letty Aronson, his managers, a plethora of actors (Diane Keaton, Scarlett Johansson, Owen Wilson) and, of course, the man himself.
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Edward Norton,
Michelle Williams plays 28-year-old Margot, happily married to Lou, a goodnatured cookbook author. But when Margot meets Daniel, a handsome artist who lives across the street, their mutual attraction is undeniable. Warmly human, funny and bittersweet, Take This Waltz deftly avoids romantic clichés and paints a true and unsentimental portrait of adult relationships. Sonoma Film Festival
So, The Bourne Ultimatum wasn’t the last one after all. With Matt Damon calling it quits on the series, Jeremy Renner takes the lead in this fourth film, with Edward Norton on baddie duty and Albert Finney and Joan Allen reprising their roles as Dr Albert Hirsch and Pam Landy respectively. Filmed in New York, The Philippines and Canada - the plot’s carefully under wraps but you can bet that conspiracies and politics play a hefty part in the action-packed proceedings. TIME OUT
FROM FRI 17
BRAVE (PG)
In the 1970s, a British sound technician is brought to Italy to work on the sound effects for a gruesome horror film. His nightmarish task slowly takes over his psyche, driving him to confront his own past. Berberian Sound Studio is many things: an anti-horror film, a stylistic tour de force, and a dream of cinema. As such, it offers a kind of pleasure that is rare in films, while recreating in a highly original way the pleasures of Italian horror cinema. Edinburgh International Film Festival
FROM MON 13
Dir: Malik Bendjelloul Sweden 2012 86m
Truly stranger than fiction, this story of a Mexican-American folk singer from Detroit and his unforeseen success spans decades and continents, and is aptly unravelled to the soundtrack of Rodriguez’ own haunting original songs. Ultimately the fans uncover a convoluted and unbelievable true story of success, obscurity, politics, and the power of music itself. Tribeca Film Festival

A grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humour, Brave uncovers a new tale in the mysterious Highlands of Scotland.

Edinburgh
YOU’VE BEEN TRUMPED (PG) Dir: Anthony Baxter United Kingdom 2011 100m
A group of proud Scottish homeowners take on billionaire celebrity tycoon Donald Trump as he buys up one of Scotland’s last wilderness areas to build a golf resort. After the Scottish Government overturns its own environmental laws to give Trump the green light, the stage is set for an extraordinary summer of discontent, as the bulldozers spring into action, water gets shut off and the police descend on the home owners who, in direct homage to the film Local Hero, refuse to sell their land.

Chile’s Atacama Desert is home to several small bands of truth seekers. At an elevation of 10,000 feet, it draws astronomers with huge telescopes, who scour the heavens for clues to the origins of the universe. On the desert floor, archaeologists look for preColumbian mummies, and a band of aged women sifts the sands for the remains of loved ones - the Atacama was also the site of a concentration camp during the Pinochet regime. Director Patricio Guzmán offers a poetic narrative that celebrates the searches and insists on the moral obligation to remember Chile’s not-too-distant past.
