Peter Liversidge always begins the exhibition process at his kitchen table, sitting alone writing proposals on an old manual typewriter. These handtyped pages present a wide range of possible and impossible ideas for performances, artworks and interventions in almost every conceivable medium. Over the past 10 years his proposals have included freezing over the River Mersey (Tate Liverpool Proposals); setting free a pack of wolves in Edinburgh (Festival Proposals) or the more achievable ‘I propose to smile’ (Ingleby Proposals). For Chapter, Liversidge has produced a new body of proposals that form the basis for the works in the gallery and caffi bar. These can be seen in his new book ‘Proposals for Cardiff’.

Gallery open: Tue — Sat 10-8pm; Sun 2-8pm. Closed Mondays.

Peter Liversidge is based in London and is represented by Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh (www.inglebygallery.com). Recent projects and exhibitions include ‘The Thrill of it All’, Ingleby Gallery, 2010; ‘Proposals for Liverpool’, Tate Gallery, 2008 and ‘Jupiter Proposals’ (the newly opened sculpture park Jupiter Artland, 2009). Forthcoming projects include fifty proposals to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (which will be presented at the 2010 Edinburgh Art Festival) and a major new work to be unveiled at Jupiter Artland in May 2010. Liversidge is also one of 8 artists selected to be part of a major research project and exhibition by the Architectural Association, London and the city of Venice, to be unveiled at the Venice Biennale in 2011.

Lightbox Commission Holly Davey: I Told You So Following on from Bedwyr Williams’ much talked about Fly piece, we‘re delighted to present a new commission by Cardiff-based artist Holly Davey which features on the lightbox at the front of Chapter. Since January this year, Davey has been using the often hidden spaces of Chapter — the stairwells, offices, roof — for experimentation and to explore new ways of working. Davey uses her body pictorially to mark out a series of frozen tableaux within an otherwise fluid choreography. These ‘photographic performances’ take place between the artist, the camera and the audience, and you are invited to see a trace of the performances as photographs. The camera becomes Davey’s audience, with the lens acting as a mirror. The final image is un-manipulated and remains the closest possible document of how Davey understood she would look as if viewing herself through the lens. I Told You So features Chapter’s inaccessible rooftop which Davey used as a space in which to move freely, dance and interact with the architecture. Each photograph taken as part of her residency acted like an imprint on that space at that moment in time and they are all linked by a series of improvised responses. The final selected image provides a stunning and perhaps disturbing snapshot of Davey’s interaction with our old school building, and with the city above and beyond it. Holly Davey studied at Goldsmiths College, London. Recent exhibitions and commissions include: Tell It To The Trees, Croft Castle (2010); En Residencia, Laboral, Spain (2009), and Lost From View, Mission Gallery, Swansea (2008). She is undertaking a residency and commission as part of For Mountain, Sea and Sand, Barmouth in the summer (see p15). A print (edition of 25) of the full lightbox image is available to buy from The Shop, priced at £100. www.hollydavey.com

Name: Silva Muotoe Job title: Duty Manager How long have you worked at Chapter? Nearly 20 years. I started off as a member of the door staff. So you were Chapter security? I suppose so. Customers have always been well behaved here. I spent 3 years as a security guard to my uncle when I was 15. He was the head of state of Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War. So Chapter was a nice change from the army. Some people say that Chapter is haunted? Yes, the early morning cleaners used to hear the patter of little school children’s feet. But it’s been quiet since the redevelopment. Maybe they’re still getting used to the new space. What is your favourite thing about working at Chapter? Beverley from the Finance Department. What’s the most memorable thing that’s happened to you at Chapter? Meeting Beverley from the Finance Department. What do you get up to in your spare time? I listen to chart music; I like cooking (I make a mean curry). Watching the Discovery Channel and current affairs programmes. Tell us a secret… I don’t have any. Life’s too short. Tell us a joke… What’s that one about a beer with no eyes?… (jokes have never been my strong point)

Rainbow Nation Stage Company Shades of Brown Wed 16 — Sat 19 June • 8pm Mer 16 — Sad 19 Mehefin

A new staging of Michael Picardie’s polemical drama that toured to great acclaim across Europe, North America and Africa during the 1970s. Jannie Veldsman, a coloured therapist living and working in a Johannesburg township, has built up eclectic ways of treating psychological problems — especially the personal problems of white women. He is visited by Captain Van Tonder, a notoriously brutal Special Branch policeman. Why? To interrogate him? To evict him? To kill him? Or perhaps the Captain merely has a problem of his own to discuss. Comical, sometimes farcical, this gripping play rises to a climax and the newly revised ending embodies some of the contradictions and paradoxes of the new South Africa. £12/£10/£8

“A gripping and intelligent piece of writing with some piercing dialogue” Time Out “The language is powerful, sardonic and at times verges on poetry in its intensity... remarkably impressive” Evening Standard

Dafydd James & Ben Lewis My Name is Sue Fri 4 + Sat 5 June • 8pm • Gwe 4 + Sad 5 Mehefin The cult hit of last year’s Edinburgh Festival, My Name is Sue returns to Chapter as part of a UK tour. Sue is a piano-wielding prophet who has, so far, kept her thoughts to herself. Now she has cleared her throat and is ready to sing you through her life from finishing school to doomsday. With virtuosic piano skill, a soaring falsetto and her faithful backing band, Sue brings to life tales of economic bus travel, tragic schoolgirl longing, a Cardiff-based Armageddon and the work of Julia Roberts. Winner of the Total Theatre Award 2009. Presented in association with Notebook. Co-written by Dafydd James (writer of Sherman Cymru’s recent sell-out Llwyth) and Ben Lewis. Performed by Dafydd James and band. £12/£10/£8

“How to...?” guide: International touring and the Edinburgh Festivals Sat 5 June • 10.30am-5pm • Sad 5 Mehefin A practical guide for theatre and performing artists interested in expanding their work across the UK and internationally. This day long event features a series of invited speakers offering advice, sharing experiences and discussing perspectives on the routes for artists looking to get their work supported and presented more widely — through international touring, UK presentations and co-productions. In recent years, the Edinburgh Festivals have become the place to set up tours and engage with the wider international performing arts industry. The biennial British Council Edinburgh Showcase invites hundreds of curators and programmers from across the world to see a selection of British performing arts groups (in recent years this has included Welsh artists such as Eddie Ladd, Volcano Theatre and Good Cop Bad Cop). Facilitated by Chapter with the support of the British Council Wales, National Theatre Wales, Sherman Cymru and Wales Arts International, this event attempts to unpack the questions, enable one-to-one advice and a meeting opportunity for theatre and performing artists in Wales to consider both aspirations and a “how-to” guide on developing strategies for getting your work seen and promoted as part of Wales’ cultural export. Free (including lunch). Please book in advance.

Vincere Fri 28 May — Thu 10 June • Gwe 28 Mai — Iau 10 Mehefin Italy/2009/128mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Marco Bellocchio. With Filippo Timi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno.

This lavish, multi award-winning drama tells the true story of the life of Mussolini’s secret first wife, Ida Dalser, and their son. When the fiery young beautician first casts her eyes on her future love he is standing, watch in hand, giving God 5 minutes to prove his existence by striking him dead. From this moment it is clear how this man could come to lead a country with such charisma and unyielding confidence. Marco Bellocchio uses archive footage of the time to depict the growing unrest in Italy and Mussolini’s rise along with the Fascist Party. The potent visuals are matched by the growing intensity of Benito’s personal relationship with Ida, and her ultimate decline into mental illness as she tries to keep hold of such a powerful and fast moving force.

“a wild operatic drama with an exhilarating orchestral score” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Revanche

Fri 28 May — Thu 3 June • Gwe 28 Mai — Iau 3 Mehefin Austria/2008/121mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Gotz Spielman. With Johannes Krish, Irina Potapenko, Andreas Lust.

From the old French word ‘revancher’ or to revenge, this Oscar nominated thriller follows ex-con brothel assistant Alex as he plans to flee to the south of Vienna with his Ukranian sex worker girlfriend, following a robbery. When their desperate plans intersect with the lives of a rural cop and his seemingly content wife, this tense and meticulous drama spins into a surprising portrait of vengeance and redemption and into a place where beauty exists but violence seems inevitable.

Double CL1C card points

Shot on location in Buenos Aires’ Batan Penitentiary, Lion’s Den tells the story of Julia, who, waking one morning bruised and bloodied, discovers to her horror that her partner has been stabbed to death and her lover is injured and unconscious. Unable to find an explanation, the pregnant Julia is arrested for murder pending trial and is held in a secure wing for mothers and their babies in one of Argentina’s most notorious prisons. An Official Selection at Cannes and Toronto, Trapero’s (Familia Rodante) film provides an unflinching, yet ultimately humane tale of the experiences of a tragic subculture of women in prison.

Exit Through the Gift Shop Tue 1 — Thu 3 June • Maw 1 — Iau 3 Mehefin UK/2010/87mins/15. Dir: Banksy. With Banksy, Rhys Ifans, Shepard Fairey, Space Invader

“A film about a man who tried to make a film about me” is how renowned British graffiti artist Banksy describes this feature. Banksy is used to fiercely guarding his identity to avoid prosecution, so it was perhaps no surprise when he refused to be filmed by an eccentric French shop owner named Thierry Guetta. Exit Through The Gift Shop traces Thierry’s attempts to capture the world of graffiti art in thrilling detail, following many of the most infamous figures at work in the streets. We trace Thierry’s efforts to locate and befriend Banksy only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. A true story of low-level criminality, companionship and incompetence — or the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable — and failed.

Trial and Error (aka The Dock Brief) Sun 30 May + Tue 1 June • Sul 30 Mai + Maw 1 Mehefin UK/1962/88mins/U. Dir: James Hill. With Peter Sellers, Richard Attenborough, Beryl Reid.

After nearly 40 years of waiting for his big chance, incompetent barrister Wilfred Morgenhall (Sellers) gets a ‘dock brief’ to defend the mild-mannered and, by his own admission, guilty Mr Fowle who murdered his insufferably jolly wife for some peace and quiet. However, Morgenhall refuses to believe his guilt and sees this as a fine opportunity to prove himself in court. But all does not go to plan... John Mortimer’s original radio script offers a deft mixture of comedy and pathos and the film’s multiple roles afford Sellers the opportunity to show off his many characterisations.

Videocracy Fri 4 — Thu 10 June • Gwe 4 — Iau 10 Mehefin Sweden/2009/85mins/partly subtitled/ctba. Dir: Erik Gandini.

TV Magnate and former Presidente Silvio Berlusconi has dominated broadcasting in Italy for over three decades by creating a domineering system of TV entertainment and politics. Influencing the content of commercial television in Italy like no other, his TV channels are known for their over exposure of almost-naked girls and housewives shedding their clothes as a prize in game shows. This indictment of Berlusconi’s universe and those that have followed in his wake has attracted much controversy following its prestigious world premiere at Venice’s Film Festival and is as disturbing as it is fascinating — a little bit like OK! Magazine, really.

I Am Love Fri 4 — Thu 10 June • Gwe 4 — Iau 10 Mehefin Italy/2009/120mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Luca Guadagnino. With Tilda Swinton, Flavio Parenti, Edoardo Gabbriellini.

Emma, the matriarch of a wealthy Milanese family, lives in a carefully ordered world where her duty towards her husband and children dominates her life, but a chance encounter ignites long repressed passions and sets her on a journey of sexual awakening with her son’s young business partner. Writer and Director Guadagnino has produced a stunningly beautiful film for the big screen, drawing a pitch perfect performance from past collaborator Swinton in an Italian speaking role with moments of achingly elegant cinematography from Yorick Le Saux [Ozon’s Swimming Pool].

“Tilda Swinton is ridiculously enjoyable to watch… a sensational performance” — The Telegraph

Agora Fri 4 — Fri 11 June • Gwe 4 — Gwe 11 Mehefin Spain/2009/127mins/12A. Dir: Alejandro Amenabar. With Rachel Weisz, Max Minghella, Oscar Isaac.

Sweeping the board at the prestigious Goya Awards, Amenabar [The Sea Inside, The Others] returns with this ambitious and complex historical drama set in Roman Egypt in the era when the famous library was destroyed, drawing parallels to events in contemporary history. The film relies more on solid storytelling than the CGI which helps to transport us to the time and Rachel Weisz gives an outstanding performance as Hypatia the pagan philosopher and mathematician who pioneered modern astronomy and rational thought.

Nicko and Joe are back with another crime against cinema. This month, you’d better have eyes in the back of your head, as there are z-grade cannibal zombie mummies on the loose! A group of fashion models disturb the tomb of a mummy and revive an ancient curse. Along with the mummy, they awake a number of ancient slaves who have developed a craving for human flesh. ‘When will they attack?’ you will wonder. ‘Will they ever attack?’ you will question. ‘Why don’t they attack something?’ You will scream.

Alain Resnais [Private Fears In Public Places] continues his fascination with memories and their impact on our lives. This is the story of the middle-aged Hélène, an antique dealer in the provincial port-town of Boulogne who lives and works in a small flat with her troubled step-son Bernard. Back from Military duty in Algiers, Bernard is haunted by the image of a girl whose brutal death he witnessed and when an old lover of Hélène’s comes to visit from Algiers with his ‘niece’, Bernard becomes increasingly suspicious.

Widely acknowledged as one of China’s leading filmmakers, Jia Zhang Ke follows his previous Still Life with this seamless mixture of fiction and documentary as interviews with real factory workers are intercut with acted stories. Shot in Chengdu before the earthquake, 24 City chronicles the dramatic fall of a state-owned munitions factory and its conversion into a luxury high-rise apartment complex. Artfully composed and rich in offbeat details, Jia weaves together the stories of three generations of factory workers into a fascinating oral history of China over the last 50 years from early post-revolutionary years to the alienation of today’s comparative prosperity.

Another chance to see this excellent thriller, which takes place almost entirely in the suffocating inside of a tank and creates an unforgettable portrayal of the horrors of war. Like Waltz with Bashir before it, the film deals with Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon and also becomes a haunting examination of young men caught out of their depth in a situation they do not understand. An original view of modern urban warfare which captures the lunacy of war and the psychological brutalisation of ‘innocent’ soldiers. Winner of the Golden Lion Venice Film Festival 2009

cinema • sinema

Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call — New Orleans Fri 11 — Thu 17 June • Gwe 11 — Iau 17 Mehefin USA/2009/122mins/18. Dir: Werner Herzog. With: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer.

Bad Lieutenant takes its title and basic plot elements from Abel Ferrara’s 1992 film which director Werner Herzog claims not to have seen. Nicolas Cage plays a wholly more sympathetic and morally confused sleazy and drug-addled police sergeant than Harvey Keitel’s original cop, and ups the hallucinogenic intensity which many have enjoyed in his earlier roles. Lauded for heroism during Hurricane Katrina but hounded by a back injury, McDonaugh develops a dependence for pain killers and starts to slide into the murk. He attempts to solve the murder of the family of a Senegalese immigrant while protecting a witness in peril and his escort girlfriend from a violent former client. Herzog clearly has fun directing a wilder Cage, as his drug habit pushes him into taking sexual bribes and conversing with imaginary reptiles, and it’s this dynamic which makes this thriller such a pleasure to watch.

La Danse — Le Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris Fri 11 — Thu 17 June • Gwe 11 — Iau 17 Mehefin France/USA/2010/159mins/PG. Dir: Frederick Wiseman. With Paris Opera Ballet.

This film profiles all aspects of one of the world’s great ballet companies, from the behind the scenes admin and technical support through to costume, classes, rehearsal and, ultimately, the performances. Seven wonderful ballets are featured, including ‘The Nutcracker’ by Rudolf Nureyev, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by Sasha Waltz and ‘Medea’ by Angelin Preljocaj, widely considered to be the most important contemporary choreographer working in ballet today. It is testament to Wiseman’s love of dance that he was allowed full access to this revered institution, illustrating the sometime tensions between a commercial sensibility and creative integrity.

The Brothers Bloom Fri 18 — Thu 24 June • Gwe 18 — Iau 24 Mehefin USA/2008/114mins/12A. Dir: Rian Johnson. With Rachel Weiss, Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody.

The Brothers Bloom have been con artists since they were kids. Stephen is the mastermind for whom the intricacy of the story used in the swindle is as important as the positive outcome, while his younger brother, Bloom plays the leading role. After travelling the world with their explosion-loving sidekick, Bang Bang, Bloom decides he’d like to give it all up and try to be himself rather than a character in an elaborate ruse. But things are not that simple, and his older brother persuades him to perform ‘one last con’ on the beautiful but eccentric Penelope Stamp, a lonely New Jersey heiress. Together with the added threat from their arch enemy, Diamond Dog, this final con may prove to be the most elaborate of all…

Jack Cardiff We’re celebrating the long and illustrious career of cinematographer Jack Cardiff by screening the new documentary Cameraman and a selection of some of his finest works, including two newly restored classics and an early gem from the British Film Institute vaults.

Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff Tue 15 — Thu 17 June • Maw 15 — Iau 17 Mehefin UK/2010/90mins/PG. Dir: Craig McCall. With Martin Scorsese, Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, John Mills.

Martin Scorsese guides us through the films of Jack Cardiff, illuminating a unique figure in British and international cinema, and a man whose life and career are inextricably interwoven with the history of cinema, spanning nine decades of moving pictures. The phrase ‘legend’ is used too frequently in Hollywood, yet his story surely proves him truly worthy of the title. Indeed, some of the world’s greatest actors, directors and technicians line up here to vouch for that. In this unique insight into his life and work, he explains how he helped elevate cinematography to an art form and made history with his groundbreaking vision and technical wizardry in A Matter of Life and Death, The Red Shoes, The African Queen, The Vikings and many others. Alongside archive footage, Jack relates what it was like to work with Hollywood’s greatest icons: Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, Kirk Douglas and Sophia Loren. A compelling documentary, told with great scope and intimacy.

The Red Shoes Sun 6 + Tue 8 June • Sul 6 + Maw 8 Mehefin UK/1948/135mins/U. Dir: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger. With Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring.

This Powell and Pressburger classic is widely considered to be one of the greatest films ever made, winning two Oscars with Jack Cardiff as Cinematographer following their earlier partnership on Black Narcissus and A Matter Of Life And Death. Vicky is a young ballerina starring in a ballet ‘The Red Shoes’. Like her character in the ballet, she is irresistibly drawn to dancing and her life becomes split between a simple human passion and artistic devotion to her profession. The film contains ballet sequences of stylistic mastery and is visually one of the most innovative and beautiful works of cinema ever created.

Pandora And The Flying Dutchman Sun 13 + Tue 15 June • Sul 13 + Maw 15 Mehefin UK/1951/126mins/PG. Dir: Albert Lewin. With Ava Gardner, James Mason.

A glamorous Ava Gardner smoulders as Pandora, who falls hard for the charismatic James Mason, a 17th-century seaman eternally condemned to sail the oceans until he can find a woman who is willing to sacrifice her life for him. Lost to the cinema for many years, this wonderfully romantic tale has been restored in all its glorious Technicolour.

As You Like It Sun 20 + Tue 22 June • Sul 20 + Maw 22 Mehefin UK/1937/92mins/U. Dir: Paul Czinner. With Laurence Olivier, Elisabeth Bergner.

Featuring the best of British talent from the 1930s, As You Like It stars a brooding young Laurence Olivier in his first Shakespearean role on screen, with David Lean editing and Jack Cardiff on camera. Paul Czinner directed his wife, Elisabeth Bergner, as a charming tomboyish Rosalind, alongside heavyweights of British theatre Leon Quartermaine and Henry Ainley. The magical Forest of Arden, created by renowned art director Lazare Meerson, is a merry fantasy world where wit and romantic repartee sparkle against William Walton’s elegant score.

The Killer Inside Me

Fri 18 — Thu 24 June • Gwe 18 — Iau 24 Mehefin USA/2010/110mins/18. Dir: Michael Winterbottom. With Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson.

Winterbottom’s tough adaptation of Jim Thompson’s highly rated 1952 crime novel sent shockwaves through this year’s Berlin Film Festival with its graphic depiction of violence and amorality. This is a fascinating, psychologically complex and brutally unflinching gaze into the mind of a superbly creepy small town killer. With a starry cast, filmed beautifully and used in a deeply unglamorous assault on our psyches, this packs a real emotional punch. We’re invited to peer into a deeply troubled soul who stares unblinkingly right back at us asking some big and perhaps unanswerable questions about the things damaged people do to both themselves and others on their road to self-destruction.

Israel/2009/91mins/subtitled/12A. Dir: Haim Tabakman. With Ran Danker, Zohar Strauss, Tinkerbell.

Nominated for a Best Foreign Language Oscar and winning at Berlin last year, this film follows the fortunes of Fausta, a timid young girl whose relatives believe she suffers from the ‘Milk Of Sorrow’, a condition transmitted by her mother who was violated and mistreated during Peru’s war on terrorism. The war has ended but Fausta is constantly reminded of her condition and is forced to confront her fears when her mother suddenly dies. Fausta tries to understand the peculiar measures her mother took to protect her from a similar fate. A touching journey from fear to freedom, The Milk of Sorrow is a powerful story of a search for understanding, for Fausta, and society as a whole.

Aaron, a devout and respectable butcher in Jerusalem’s ultra-orthodox Jewish community, is a married man and dedicated father of four children. When he meets Ezri, a handsome young student, his faith and understanding of himself is challenged. He acts on his feelings towards Ezri, understanding that it could cost him his family and community life. Paralleling this relationship, a neighbouring shopkeeper persists in seeing a man of her own choosing even though her father has promised her to another. Eventually, guilt and pressure from the community catch up with the doomed lovers and they are forced to make difficult decisions. This slow burning drama has attracted awards and critical acclaim across its festival screenings.

Llygaid Sgwâr Gan Philip Wyn Jones Cyn trafod Breathless dylwn nodi mai’r ffilm dan sylw yw A Bout de Souffle (Jean-Luc Godard, 1960) nid Breathless (Jim McBride, 1983) gyda Richard Gere. Fel Breathless y cyfeirir at ffilm Godard yn bur aml y tu allan i Ffrainc a dyna a wnawn i yma. Breathless oedd ffilm nodwedd gyntaf Godard fel cyfarwyddwr. Roedd eisoes wedi gwneud pum ffilm fer, gan ddechrau ym 1954 gydag Opération Béton, ffilm ddogfen am adeiladu argae yn y Swistir. Roedd Godard, a’i gyfoeswyr François Truffaut, Jacques Rivette, Eric Rohmer a Claude Chabrol eisoes wedi dod dan ddylanwad y beirniad arloesol André Bazin, sefydlydd y cylchgronau dylanwadol ‘La Revue du Cinéma’ a ‘Les Cahiers du Cinéma’. Cyfrannodd Godard erthyglau i’r ddau gylchgrawn. Cydysgrifennodd Rohmer a Chabrol y gyfrol gyflawn gyntaf am ffilmiau Alfred Hitchcock a chyhoeddodd Truffaut ffrwyth ei gyfweliad hir gyda Hitchcock ar ffurf cyfrol swmpus. Doedd hi ddim yn hir cyn i’r beirniaid ifanc hyn droi’n gyfarwyddwyr. Agorwyd y drysau gan Chabrol gyda Le Beau Serge (1958). Yna daeth Les 400 Coups (Truffaut), Le Signe du Lion (Rohmer), Breathless Godard a Paris nous appartient (Rivette). Roedd y pump ohonynt yn casáu’r rhan fwyaf o’r ffilmiau Ffrangeg cyfredol oedd yn aml yn addasiadau o weithiau llenyddol, yn gaeth i’r stiwdio ac yn hynod afreal ac artiffisial. Roedd yn well ganddyn nhw ffilmiau poblogaidd yr Unol Daleithiau. Dyna egluro eu diddordeb yn Hitchcock a chyfarwyddwyr y ffilmiau ‘noir’ oedd yn portreadu gangsters o bob math. Dan ddylanwad y criw ifanc yma roedd fel petai ton newydd yn ysgubo trwy’r diwydiant ffilmiau Ffrengig a bathwyd y term Nouvelle Vague gan newyddiadurwyr Ffrainc i labelu’r datblygiad cyffrous. Gwnaed nifer o’u ffilmiau allan ar y strydoedd a heb gymaint â hynny o adnoddau ariannol. Mae Breathless yn cynnwys cyflwyniad i Monogram, cwmni ffilmiau Americanaidd oedd yn cynhyrchu ffilmiau poblogaidd, gan gynnwys nifer am gangsters, am ychydig iawn o arian. Lleidr ceir yw’r prif gymeriad yn Breathless. Ar ôl iddo ladd plismon mae’n ceisio dianc rhag yr awdurdodau yng nghwmni ei gariad sy’n Americanes. I bortreadu’r prif gymeriadau hyn dewisodd Godard Jean-Paul Belmondo a Jean Seberg. Roedd Belmondo wedi chwarae rhannau bach mewn chwe ffilm, gan gynnwys un yn yr Almaen, cyn dod yn seren ryngwladol yn sgil Breathless. Doedd e ddim yn gonfensiynol olygus ond roedd yn wrth-arwr delfrydol. Dim ond 17 oed oedd Seberg pan wnaeth ei ffilm gyntaf hi fel y prif gymeriad yn Saint Joan (Otto Preminger, 1957). Breathless oedd ei thrydedd ffilm. Seiliodd Godard ei sgript ar fraslun o stori gan Truffaut a chyfrannodd Chabrol at olwg y ffilm. Yn ystod y ffilmio ceisiodd Godard gael Belmondo a Seberg i gyfansoddi eu deialog yn fyrfyfyr a llwyddodd y ddau i greu dau gymeriad digon anghynnes. Roedd hynny’n iawn gan nad oedd e am i’r gynulleidfa uniaethu â nhw. Parhaodd arloeswyr y Nouvelle Vague i wneud ffilmiau ond Godard oedd yr unig un i ymatal rhag ymuno â changen fasnachol y diwydiant ar ôl ei boblogrwydd cynnar. Derbyniodd César arbennig ym 1986 am ei gyfraniad i fyd y ffilm. Philip Wyn Jones — Golygydd ac adolygydd. philip@philipwyn.wanadoo.co.uk

We’re Celebrating 50 years since the release of the film debut of Jean Luc Godard which arguably started the French New Wave and featured a crew of the big names in experimental French filmmaking of the time. Cigarettes, hats, sunglasses, the ultra cool Paris of the 1960s and a determined unconformity make Michel Poiccard a true cinematic icon as he tries to persuade the stunning American, Patricia, to run away with him to Italy after accidentally killing a policeman when stealing a car.

With much of the action filmed in Pembrokeshire, this spectacular re-envisioning of the tale of how the man became legend draws on those elements which made Scott’s Gladiator such a success — the man fulfilling his destiny to rise up against his oppressors. In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power.

This second helping of Nicolas Cage this month (following Bad Lieutenant — see p27) shows that he may have re-found his dark side. This DIY superhero tale is gloriously wrong, charming and entertaining throughout. A nerdy teen comic-book fan-boy decides that there should be superheroes in real life and, with his homemade costume and weapons, springs into action against local hoodlums. As his antics gain an internet following under the guise of ‘Kick Ass’, his actions attract not only the attention of ‘real-life’ superheroes (the potty-mouthed 11 year old Hit Girl and her father, Big Daddy) but also the local mob boss Frank D’Amico, who resolves to wipe out the costumed crusaders.

Joey is a talented, dysfunctional Edinburgh stand-up who finds himself dragged into a violent revenge-plot by a deranged former school friend. Winner of a BAFTA Scotland award, this is one of the year’s most ambitious, enjoyable and engaging British films. It’s a hard-hitting thriller set in the cut-throat world of stand-up comedy; and while there’s no shortage of humour in this tale, this is essentially dark, adult-oriented material.

Sweden/2009/80mins/subtitled/ctba. Dir: Fedrik Gertten. With Byron Rosales Romero, Juan J Dominguez.

Based on the best selling novels of Mori Hiroshi, The Sky Crawlers chronicles the lives of a group of young aerial fighter pilots known as ‘Kildren’ involved in a seemingly never-ending war against the nation’s enemies. When Yuichi Kannami is brought in to replace a pilot whose fate is kept secret from him, he struggles to discover his missing past. His memories are only of intense flight training and he begins to question not only his purpose in life but also his very existence. Utilising the ground breaking technique of combining 2D and CGI animation developed in his earlier features, director Mamoru Oshii [Ghost In The Shell] creates a dramatic tale of innocence lost set against a backdrop of spectacular aerial warfare.

“an engaging, spectacular and thought-provoking experience” The Guardian

This hard hitting documentary follows in the footsteps of Supersize Me, Black Gold and Food, Inc. Juan “Accidentes” Dominguez is on his biggest case ever working on behalf of twelve Nicaraguan banana workers. A lawyer from the ‘Injury-lawyers-for-you’ stable, he has little experience to help him tackle Dole Food in a ground-breaking legal battle involving their wilful use of a banned pesticide that was known to cause sterility and even fatalities. It’s not only the filmmakers who were targets for the litigious Dole, but also the LA Film Festival for screening the film.

With summer almost upon us, I’m getting close to ditching those comfort meals and adding some lighter summery dishes to our menu. One of my favourite culinary treats at the moment is asparagus. I don’t get to eat it for most of the year as British asparagus is only available between May and June, but when it’s in season I eat it almost every day! At the moment we have it as a side dish in Chapter, grilled with butter, black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice, and of course topped with parmesan. As the weather continues to warm up, look out for other seasonal specials, utilising some lovely British produce. Lex, Café Manager

Drink • Yfed I know we’ve been banging on about it for a few weeks now, but we really are very proud of our new Chapter ale. ‘Old School’ is a medium strength (4.5%) bitter, which is being brewed by our friends at VOG (Vale of Glamorgan). If you like many of the other ‘rotating’ beers that feature in our bar then it’s worth giving it a whirl. And, for that matter, if you’ve never tasted a real ale in your life, maybe Chapter Old School could start the ball rolling in your acquiring of a taste for the finer things in life… Dave, Bar Manager Bar open: Sat 12pm-12am, Sun 12-10.30pm, Mon-Thu 12-11pm, Fri 12pm-12.30am. Free wireless internet is available in Caffi Bar Chapter.
