Introduction

NEIGHBOURING SOUNDS

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED

A LATE QUARTET

ON THE WATERFRONT

If you see only one film this month... you’ll miss a whole load of great cinema. I am occasionally, in the course of my duties here at Filmhouse, asked to meet students on related courses to talk to them about my job, how we work, the film industry and all that stuff. Hopefully, they get something out of it – I know I do, for there’s nothing I like more than talking about myself for an hour... Anyway, the other day I was asked how many films I watch in the course of a year, and I’d no idea of the number. So, I’ve let my OCD take over for a while and have decided to keep a note of all films I watch (I once knew someone who kept ALL his ticket stubs...), for both business and pleasure, as it were, for a year from 1 March 2013; and, at the risk of appearing self-absorbed, will report back as the year progresses – if I remember to. I’ve no doubt some of you watch more films than I do, though you may struggle to keep up once the festivals I attend come around – gauntlet duly thrown down! I’m on eight so far (it’s 11 March today) which have included catching up on Zombieland (great fun), Iron Man 2 (I think I’ve had it with Hollywood blockbusters) and, top of the pile, the Brazilian Neighbouring Sounds, which can be seen at a cinema near you (ie. this one!) in April. Ah yes, April... A Late Quartet is an old-fashioned, beautifully performed gem – very much in the Woody Allen mould sans the comedy – set in the rarified world of a NYC string quartet, as one of their number (Christopher Walken as you may not have seen him before) announces his retirement. Cue the surfacing of previously buried resentments... Susanne Bier’s Love Is All You Need stars Pierce Brosnan (as a fruit and veg tycoon living in Denmark!) in an irresistible, beautiful, mostly Sorrento-set romantic comedy set around the wedding of an unlikely couple’s son and daughter... And, getting serious, if I may, for a minute, the revelatory documentary The Gatekeepers is the fascinating story of the Israeli internal security service (Shin Bet) as told by the men who ran it from 1948 to the present day. Incredible stuff. The Italian Film Festival returns for its 20th edition and features the best new Italian cinema plus two restorations of Roberto Rossellini/ Ingrid Bergman collaborations, Stromboli and Journey to Italy; also celebrating its 20th anniversary is the weekend-long celebration of all things horror, Dead by Dawn. Daniel Day-Lewis gets a small/perfectly-formed Drambuie®-sponsored retrospective of his finest performances (including his three Oscar®-winning ones). There’s a few digital restorations rating a mention too: Max Ophuls’ elegant Madame de..., Pasolini’s mysterious Theorem, and Elia Kazan’s masterful On the Waterfront, simply one of the best American films ever made, and featuring Marlon Brando at the absolute peak of his considerable power. And if you fancy a bit of good old 35mm, a brand new print of John Boorman’s awesome Point Blank will be with us shortly after its debut at the BFI Southbank... Rod White, Head of Filmhouse

Lisa Barros D’Sa & Glenn Leyburn UK/Ireland 2012 • 1h43m • Digital projection 15 – Contains strong language, once very strong, and drug use Cast: Richard Dormer, Jodie Whittaker, Dylan Moran, Andrew Simpson, Adrian Dunbar.

François Ozon • France 2012 • 1h45m Digital projection • French with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language and sex and a scene of hanging Cast: Fabrice Luchini, Ernst Umhauer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Emmanuelle Seigner, Denis Ménochet.

Yaron Zilberman • USA 2012 • 1h46m Digital projection • 15 – Contains strong language and sex Cast: Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoﬀman, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir, Wallace Shawn.

Begrudgingly accepting the title of Ulster’s Godfather of Punk, Terri Hooley was responsible for discovering The Undertones and, through his Good Vibrations record shop and label, along with the gigs he promoted, he enabled alternative music to be heard and to ﬂourish in Belfast during the darkest days of Northern Ireland’s Troubles. His self-promoted legend is a wild mix of naivety, a refusal to compromise and a deep love for rock’n’roll, and it is vividly bought to the screen in this biopic from ﬁlmmakers Lisa Barros D’Sa and Glenn Leyburn.

François Ozon follows the glorious camp of Potiche with this superbly controlled, coolly ironic adaptation of Juan Mayorga’s play ‘The Boy in the Last Row’.

Good Vibrations evokes 1970s Belfast avoiding clichés and angst, and its ﬁne cast, led by Richard Dormer as Hooley, is wonderfully committed. In celebrating the music of the time, the ﬁlm dares to make an unfashionable case that pop music matters, that it can change lives, that it can be transcendent. It celebrates Hooley as truly heroic for making that same case all his life. (Michael Hayden, LFF programme)

High-school literature teacher Germain (Fabrice Luchini) lives a beige, repetitive life; his despair at the state of contemporary education has given way to apathy and he is barely conscious of his curator wife’s (Kristin Scott Thomas) boredom. Unexpectedly, he discovers a student in his class whose compelling sense of prose and voyeuristic eye for detail stir his long dormant enthusiasm for his work. The daring and talented Claude (Ernst Umhauer) inveigles his way into the lives of a petit-bourgeois family, developing a particular fascination with the mother (Emmanuelle Seigner), and serialises his encounters in essay form under the increasingly voracious guidance of Germain. As Claude’s incursions become more audacious, the ground imperceptibly shifts, and the borders between reality and ﬁction become indistinguishable. Both a knowing ode to the art of storytelling and a scathing class critique, In the House sees Ozon return to the territory of Water Drops on Burning Rocks and Swimming Pool, not only in the precision of his form, but also in his ﬂagrant admiration for the disruptive intruder with ambiguous desires. (Clare Stewart, LFF programme)

A powerhouse cast brings vivid life to Yaron Zilberman’s engrossing drama about an illustrious string quartet, whose quarter-century anniversary precipitates a tempestuous (and potentially explosive) release of repressed feelings, long-held resentments and painful betrayals. Peter (Christopher Walken), the group’s founding member, is diagnosed with a degenerative illness that forces him to confront the troubling question of who will succeed him – and what his legacy will be. The marriage between second violinist Robert (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and violist Juliette (Catherine Keener) goes suddenly south when infidelity rears its head; while brilliant, headstrong and steel-willed first violinist Daniel (Mark Ivanir), already engaged in a battle over first chair with Robert, brings tensions to a boil when he falls into the arms of Robert and Juliette’s beautiful young daughter Alexandra (Imogen Poots). As the ensemble’s ageing patriarch, Walken has never been better, brilliantly etching Peter’s turbulent indecision and, finally, clear-eyed resolve about the right path to take. Not to be outdone, the rest of the cast rise to Walken’s challenge, and Zilberman never missteps, guiding us gracefully through those painful inevitabilities of ageing and change that contrast so movingly with the timeless beauty of music.

Paolo Taviani & Vittorio Taviani • Italy 2012 • 1h16m Digital projection • Italian with English subtitles 12A – Contains one use of strong language Cast: Cosimo Rega, Salvatore Striano, Giovanni Arcuri, Antonio Frasca, Juan Dario Bonetti.

Susanne Bier • Denmark/Sweden/Italy/France/Germany 2012 1h56m • Digital projection Danish, English and Italian with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Trine Dyrholm, Kim Bodnia, Paprika Steen, Sebastian Jessen.

Kleber Mendonça Filho • Brazil 2012 • 2h11m • Digital projection Portuguese, English and Mandarin with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language, sex, and nudity Cast: Irma Brown, Sebastião Formiga, Gustavo Jahn, Maeve Jinkings, Dida Maia.

A dazzling ensemble drama, Neighbouring Sounds is set among a handful of residents in a middle-class street in the northern Brazilian city of Recife. Focusing on the appearance of a gang of private security guards who offer householders the promise of protection, writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho offers revealing fragments of a society frayed by paranoia. A young man wakes up to find his girlfriend’s car has been broken into. A mother struggles to sleep, disturbed by the barking of guard dogs next door. An ageing patriarch seeks refuge from the tumult of the ever-changing city in the rural peace of his one-time plantation hideaway. The results thrillingly defy categorisation, but what emerges under Filho’s precise, quietly virtuoso direction is a film of novelistic richness and sly provocation; a kind of urban horror story about the fear of violence that ripples under the fragile poise of everyday middle-class life in Brazil. One thing’s for sure: this is a directorial debut of astonishing assurance. (Edward Lawrenson, LFF programme)

Winner of the Golden Bear at the 2012 Berlinale, Paolo and Vittorio Taviani’s Caesar Must Die deftly melds narrative and documentary in a transcendently powerful drama-withina-drama. The film was made in Rome’s Rebibbia Prison, where the inmates are preparing to stage Shakespeare’s ‘Julius Caesar’. After a competitive casting process, the roles are eventually allocated, and the prisoners begin exploring the text, finding in its tale of fraternity, power and betrayal parallels to their own lives and stories. Hardened criminals, many with links to organised crime, these actors find great motivation in performing the play. As we witness the rehearsals, beautifully photographed in various nooks and crannies within the prison, we see the inmates also work through their own conflicts, both internal and between each other.

Pierce Brosnan, Trine Dyrholm and Paprika Steen star in this sparkling romantic comedy from Academy Award® winner Susanne Bier (Brothers, In a Better World), about two very different families brought together for a wedding in a beautiful old Italian villa. Returning from her final, successful chemotherapy treatment, Ida (Dyrholm) arrives home only to find her boorish husband in a compromising position with a ditzy co-worker. Stricken, she takes off to Sorrento alone to attend the wedding of her daughter Astrid to Patrick. Also attending is Patrick’s no-nonsense father Philip (Brosnan), a dashing but brooding widower who seems less than pleased with his life, his son, and his soon-to-be in-laws. When the young couple’s future happiness is suddenly jeopardised, Ida and Philip are brought together to try to set things right – and find that life might have a second chance in store for them as well.

“Love Is All You Need has been made for an audience rarely catered for by the ﬁlm industry: intelligent adults who enjoy perceptive and good-hearted drama.” - Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

Dror Moreh • Israel/France/Germany/Belgium 2012 • 1h41m Digital projection • English and Hebrew with English subtitles 15 – Contains images of real dead bodies • Documentary

Cate Shortland • Germany/Australia/UK 2012 • 1h49m Digital projection • German with English subtitles 15 – Contains gory images, brief strong sex and nudity Cast: Saskia Rosendahl, Nele Trebs, André Frid, Mika Seidel, Kai-Peter Malina.

Park Chan-wook • USA/UK 2013 • 1h39m • Digital projection 18 – Contains strong sex, violence and sexualised violence Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode, Nicole Kidman, Dermot Mulroney, Jacki Weaver.

The Gatekeepers tells the story of the Shin Bet, perhaps the most active and certainly the most secretive of Israel’s security forces, and it tells it from the perspectives of its leaders who, more than anyone, received the trust of the country’s political elites. In a series of candid interviews, six former heads of the Shin Bet talk openly about the major events that marked their tenures, and muse about the morality of torture and terrorism, arrests and assassinations. The citizens they swore to protect may have been safer as a result of their actions, but was the country any closer to peace? If Israel lies at the heart of the global War on Terror, the Gatekeepers’ confessions challenge the conventional wisdom of how that war should be waged, whether in Gaza or Guantanamo, Palestine or Pakistan. Theirs is the ultimate cautionary tale of what happens to people and nations alike when they try to answer violence with violence. After the 6.00pm screening on Tuesday 30 April there will be an open discussion on the issues raised by the ﬁlm, led by a representative of the Humanist Society of Scotland. Humanism is an ethical stance which asserts that we can lead good lives guided by compassion and reason, rather than religion or superstition. Humanists are vitally concerned with issues that aﬀect our world.

The long-awaited follow-up to her exquisite Somersault, Australian director Cate Shortland’s adaptation of the novel ‘The Dark Room’ by Rachel Seiffert is a sensual and complex story that explores the tribulations faced by the young in the aftermath of World War II. When their Nazi SS parents are taken into Allied custody, five siblings are left to fend for themselves. Teenager Lore, the oldest, takes charge, and the children set out to join their grandmother in Hamburg, some 900 km away. Along the arduous journey, the children encounter a populace suffering from postwar denial and deprivation, and for the first time are exposed to the reality and consequences of their parents’ actions. With food hard to come by, and the journey becoming ever more dangerous, the children meet Thomas, a young Jewish survivor who helps them negotiate their way through tricky situations. Lore is both repulsed by and attracted to Thomas. All that she has been taught leads her to believe that he is the enemy, but his industriousness, generosity and physicality prove alluring. A coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of a changing world, Lore shows new life emerging out of darkness, and does so with great intelligence and subtlety.

After India’s (Mia Wasikowska’s) father dies in a car accident, her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evelyn (Nicole Kidman). Soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives...

“An intense mix of horror, thriller and domestic drama, this is exquisite ﬁlmmaking.” - Empire

John Boorman • USA 1967 • 1h32m • 35mm • 15 Cast: Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, Carroll O’Connor, Lloyd Bochner.

Max Ophüls • France/Italy 1953 • 1h40m Digital projection • French with English subtitles U – Contains no material likely to oﬀend or harm Cast: Charles Boyer, Danielle Darrieux, Vittorio De Sica, Jean Debucourt, Jean Galland.

Elia Kazan • USA 1954 • 1h48m • Digital projection • PG Cast: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J Cobb, Rod Steiger, Eva Marie Saint.

One of the best, toughest, and most grimly cold-blooded mystery noirs Hollywood has given us. Lee Marvin’s bullet-headed gangster is an anachronism from the 50s transported to the LA and San Francisco of the 60s, a world of concrete slabs and menacing vertical lines. Doublecrossed and left to die, Marvin comes back from the dead to claim his share of the money from the mysterious Organization, only to become increasingly puzzled and frustrated when he ﬁnds there is no money. Dazzling, sexy and unsettling, with a powerful and mesmerising central performance from Marvin. Screening from a beautiful new 35mm print.

For many, this piercingly poignant fin-de-siècle romance, with its dark but exquisitely delicate sense of irony, is the very finest of what David Thomson has called Max Ophüls’ ‘amusing tragedies’. When, beset by debt, the titular Countess Louise (Danielle Darrieux) decides to sell a pair of earrings that were a wedding gift from her husband André (Charles Boyer), she unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will have serious consequences not only for the Parisian couple but for André’s mistress and for an Italian Baron (Vittorio De Sica) who purchases the, by then, much-travelled jewellery. This being an Ophüls film, the camera is likewise in constant motion, at once following the characters as a discreet but sympathetic observer and revealing how they are all constrained, even trapped by social convention, money and their own various deceits and desires. The lightly nuanced performances, the marvellously detailed sets and the elegant artifice of the plotting never distract from the fundamental seriousness of Ophüls’ searing study of fateful passion. A film of unassuming but enduring greatness; newly restored. (Geoff Andrew, BFI) Screening in a new digital restoration.

A tour de force for director Elia Kazan, star Marlon Brando and cinematographer Boris Kaufman, On the Waterfront is a gritty, no-holds-barred drama about the corruption-filled New York docks and the dock workers’ struggle to make a living under the control of corrupt unions. Lee J Cobb is gangster union boss Johnny Friendly, and Rod Steiger his crooked lawyer, Charley Malloy. Charley’s brother, Terry (Brando), a former boxer, hangs around the docks and runs errands for Johnny, who gives handouts to those who do his bidding. Already a has-been as a young man, Terry keeps pigeons on a rooftop and dreams about his days as an promising fighter. He meets Edie (Eva Marie Saint), whose brother was murdered by Johnny’s henchmen, and she introduces him to Father Barry (Karl Malden), who tries to persuade Terry to provide the crime commission with information that will smash the dock racketeers. Brando is spectacular as the ex-fighter who finds his conscience and risks his life for his newfound principles, and Kazan sets every scene with menace and suspense. Screening in a new digital restoration.

RESTOREDCLASSIC

Theorem Teorema Tue 30 Apr to Thu 2 May Pier Paolo Pasolini • Italy 1968 • 1h38m Digital projection • Italian and English with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Silvana Mangano, Terence Stamp, Massimo Girotti, Anne Wiazemsky, Laura Betti.

In Theorem, Pasolini achieved his most perfect fusion of Marxism and religion with a film that is both political allegory and mystical fable. Terence Stamp plays the mysterious Christ or Devil figure who stays briefly with a wealthy Italian family, seducing them one by one, starting with the mother (Silvana Mangano). He then goes as quickly as he had come, leaving their lives in ruins. What would be pretentious and strained in the hands of most directors, with Pasolini takes on an intense air of magical revelation, in fact, the superficially improbable plot retains all the logic and certainty of a detective story. Screening in a new digital restoration. The 8.45pm screening on Tuesday 30 April will be introduced by Dr Pasquale Iannone.

Weans’ World Films for a younger audience. Tickets cost £3.50 (£5.50 for 3D shows) per person, big or small! Please note: although we normally disapprove of people talking during screenings, these shows are primarily for kids, so grown-ups should expect some noise!

Tue 23 Apr at 8.40pm

Jim Sheridan • Ireland/UK 1989 • 1h43m • 35mm • 15 Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Brenda Fricker, Ray McAnally, Hugh O’Conor, Fiona Shaw.

Rebecca Miller • USA 2005 • 1h52m • 35mm 15 – Contains strong language and sex references Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Camilla Belle, Catherine Keener, Ryan McDonald, Paul Dano.

Daniel Day-Lewis won his first Oscar for his brilliant performance in this remarkable film, based on the autobiography of Christy Brown, who overcame severe physical limitations to become an accomplished painter and writer. The film describes the extraordinary arc of Brown’s life, starting with a childhood in which his debilitating cerebral palsy causes everyone but his mother to believe he is brain-damaged. Brown begins to shatter this perception by using his left foot and a piece of chalk to scrawl a one-word message to his mother on the floor.

My Beautiful Laundrette Wed 17 Apr at 8.30pm

Writer and director Rebecca Miller (daughter of Arthur and wife of Day-Lewis) takes us to a fading hippy commune in the mid-1980s to examine the dying idealism of the 1960s and its eﬀect on two people, the titular father and daughter (Day-Lewis and Camilla Belle). Jack and Rose are the only two inhabitants left on a communal plot of land on an island somewhere oﬀ the east coast of America. But the status quo is soon to be shaken: Jack is dying, so he asks his more worldly lover Kathleen (Catherine Keener) and her two teenage sons to come and live with them. This jolt to their sheltered existence shocks both him and Rose into accepting long-suppressed or undiscovered issues relating to their identity, sexuality and futures.

Stephen Frears • UK 1985 • 1h37m • Digital projection • 15 Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Gordon Warnecke, Saeed Jaﬀrey, Roshan Seth, Shirley Anne Field.

Omar (Gordon Warnecke) is sent by his widower father to work for his adulterous wheeler-dealer uncle (Saeed Jaﬀrey).

Martin Scorsese • USA 1993 • 2h18m • 35mm • PG Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiﬀer, Winona Ryder, Richard E Grant, Geraldine Chaplin.

James Ivory • UK 1985 • 1h57m • 35mm PG – Contains infrequent moderate violence and mild sex Cast: Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter, Denholm Elliott, Julian Sands, Daniel Day-Lewis.

Steven Spielberg • USA/India 2012 • 2h30m • Digital projection 12A – Contains infrequent moderate war violence, gore and strong language Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Tommy Lee Jones.

Adapting an Edith Wharton best-seller might have seemed a strange choice for Martin Scorsese, but he loved the book and transferred it to the screen virtually unchanged. Set in 19th-century New York, The Age of Innocence centres on lawyer Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis), who becomes engaged to the beautiful but dull May Welland (Winona Ryder). His life is soon thrown into turmoil by his ﬁancee’s seductive older cousin, Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiﬀer), seemingly a woman of ill repute.

In the Name of the Father Fri 26 Apr at 6.10pm Jim Sheridan • Ireland/UK/USA 1993 • 2h13m • 35mm • 15 Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Pete Postlethwaite, Emma Thompson, John Lynch, Corin Redgrave.

The My Left Foot team of star Daniel Day-Lewis and director Jim Sheridan reunited to make this political docudrama about Gerry Conlon (Day-Lewis), who was wrongly convicted of taking part in a 1974 IRA bombing that killed ﬁve. After a brutal interrogation forces him to sign a false confession, Gerry is sentenced to prison, his family persecuted, and later his father Giuseppe (Pete Postelthwaite) is charged with being an accomplice and is also sent to prison. Day-Lewis gives an outstanding performance as a man tormented by the injustice served him, and Emma Thompson is brilliant as the persevering lawyer who works for years, gathering evidence to clear Gerry’s name.

Adapted by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala from the novel by EM Forster, A Room with a View is a shining example of Merchant-Ivory’s ability to achieve maximum quality and opulence at minimum cost. Sheltered Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham Carter), holidaying in Florence with her spinster chaperone Charlotte (Maggie Smith), is kissed by unconventional George Emerson (Julian Sands). Frightened by her confusing feelings for him, she returns to England and accepts a marriage proposal from stuﬀy Cecil Vyse (Daniel Day-Lewis). When George reappears, she questions her feelings for Cecil.

The Last of the Mohicans Mon 29 Apr at 6.10pm Michael Mann • USA 1992 • 1h54m • 35mm 15 – Contains bloody violence and intense battle scenes Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means.

In 1757, while the French and British are ﬁghting for control over North America, Cora Munro (Madeleine Stowe) and her younger sister Alice (Jodhi May), daughters of a British colonel, are rescued from an Indian attack by the Colonial-born, Mohican-raised Englishman Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis). Love soon blooms between Hawkeye and Cora, but their future is threatened by the French’s continued assaults on the unstable fort, Colonel Munro’s distrust of Hawkeye, and the bloodthirsty Huron tribe led by the vengeful warrior Magua.

Steven Spielberg directs Daniel Day-Lewis in a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come.

The Crucible Wed 8 May at 5.45pm Nicholas Hytner • USA 1996 • 2h3m • 35mm • 12A Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder, Paul Scoﬁeld, Joan Allen.

Written in the midst of the McCarthy era as a thinly veiled attack on the Communist witch hunts in the US, Arthur Miller’s play has emerged as a timeless commentary on the evil that men (and women) do – especially in the name of righteousness and religion. Set in the Salem of 1692, the ﬁlm ﬁnds Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder) triggering a mass hysteria in which accusations of witchcraft result in the execution of innocent people; among those targeted by the moral minority are farmer John Proctor (Daniel DayLewis) and his wife Elizabeth (Joan Allen).

THE CRUCIBLE

GANGS OF NEW YORK

Gangs of New York

There Will Be Blood

Sun 12 May at 5.15pm

Sun 19 May at 5.15pm

Martin Scorsese • USA/Italy 2002 • 2h48m • 35mm 18 – Contains strong, bloody violence Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis, Cameron Diaz, Jim Broadbent, John C Reilly.

Paul Thomas Anderson • USA 2007 • 2h38m • 35mm 15 – Contains strong violence Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J O’Connor, Ciaran Hinds, Dillon Freasier.

The violent rise of gangland power in New York City at a time of massive political corruption and the city’s evolution into a cultural melting pot set the stage for this lavish historical epic, which director Martin Scorsese ﬁnally brought to the screen almost 30 years after he ﬁrst began to plan the project.

Day-Lewis won his second Oscar for his astonishing and terrifying portrayal of a turn-of-the-century California oil man, in Paul Thomas Anderson’s magnificently strange character study. When Daniel Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there’s a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads there with his son, HW, to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centres around the Holy Roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday, Plainview and HW make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value – love, hope, community, belief, ambition, and even the bond between father and son – is imperilled by corruption, deception, and the flow of oil.

In 1846, as waves of Irish immigrants poured into the New York neighbourhood of Five Points, citizens of British and Dutch heritage who were born in the United States began making an open display of their resentment toward the new arrivals. William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), better known as ‘Bill the Butcher’ for his deadly skill with a knife, bands his fellow ‘Native Americans’ into a gang to take on the Irish immigrants; the immigrants in turn form a gang of their own, ‘The Dead Rabbits’, organised by Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson). After an especially bloody clash between the Natives and the Rabbits leaves Vallon dead, his son goes missing; the boy ends up in a brutal reform school before returning to the Five Points in 1862 as Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio), bent on revenge.

DORMANT BEAUTY

Benvenuti to the 20th edition of the Italian Film Festival, curated by Allan Hunter and Richard Mowe and funded by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Edimburgo and the Consolato Generale d’Italia, the cultural services department of the Embassy of Switzerland as well as supporters Valvona & Crolla VinCaffè and Fratelli Sarti, Glasgow. Our 2013 edition, the 20th, highlights a diverse line-up of contemporary and classic Italian cinema, including comedies, dramas, thrillers and classics from award-winning directors and actors, many of whom such as Silvio Soldini, Paolo Virzi, Bernardo Bertolucci and Marco Tullio Giordana will be familiar from previous festivals. A highlight of this edition is a special focus on Roberto Rossellini and the films he made starring Ingrid Bergman, tied to a new documentary on his work and his temptestuous personal relationships. Stromboli and Journey to Italy are screening with the cooperation of Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna. www.italianfilmfestival.org.uk

The War of the Volcanoes

The case of Eluana Englaro became a lightning rod for the debate about euthanasia in Italy. Englaro was injured in a car accident and spent seventeen years in a vegetative state as her father fought a legal battle to end her life. Marco Bellocchio’s complex, compelling feature explores the case and its implications through three ﬁctional stories: a senator grapples with his conscience before a parliamentary vote on the right to life; a devoutly Catholic actress abandons her career to care for her stricken child; and a methadone addict begs to end her life as a doctor strives to sustain it.

Me and You Io e te Sat 13 Apr at 6.00pm Bernardo Bertolucci • Italy 2012 • 1h43m Digital projection • Italian with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Tea Falco, Jacopo Olmo Antinori, Sonia Bergamasco.

Lorenzo is a troubled 14-year-old who decides to skip a week-long school ski trip and hole up alone in the family’s storage basement. However, Lorenzo’s dream of a week of solitary escape is interrupted by the unexpected appearance of his half-sister Olivia, who discovers his hideout. Though Olivia vows to keep Lorenzo’s secret safe, she also brings a new set of complications into this strange situation: she is a junkie who’s decided it’s time to go cold turkey. The IFF is grateful to Artiﬁcial Eye for their help with this preview screening.

More than 60 years ago the rugged Aeolian Islands became the unlikely backdrop to a showbusiness scandal. Roberto Rossellini arrived to make Stromboli with Oscarwinning Hollywood star Ingrid Bergman. At the same time on the neighbouring island of Panarea, William Dieterle was making Volcano with Rossellini’s former lover Anna Magnani. During the course of ﬁlming Stromboli, the married Bergman fell deeply in love with Rossellini and became pregnant with his child. The whole tangled episode is told in a documentary that makes expert use of gorgeous archive footage and contrasts the ﬁery Magnani with the cool Nordic stoicism of Bergman. PLUS

Stromboli Roberto Rossellini • Italy/USA • 1950 • 1h47m • DCP • PG Cast: Ingrid Bergman, Mario Vitale, Renzo Cesana, Mario Sponzo.

The first of Rossellini’s Voyage Trilogy, Stromboli also marks the beginning of his personal and professional relationship with Ingrid Bergman. She plays Karin, a Lithuanian refugee who marries a fisherman in order to escape from an internment camp. But married life amidst the harsh landscapes and suffocating attitudes of the volcanic island Stromboli proves to be another kind of imprisonment.

Stromboli has often been seen in crudely truncated and revised versions that dilute the power of the original. Now digitally restored by the Cineteca Di Bologna as part of their Rossellini Project, it can be savoured in its full glory.

Thu 18 Apr at 8.30pm

Misunderstood and widely dismissed at the time of its release 60 years ago, Journey to Italy has grown in stature over the decades. Conceived and ﬁlmed in utter chaos, it is a strikingly modern portrait of a marriage in crisis.

The latest delight from Bread and Tulips director Silvio Soldini is a magic realist romp with a serious concerns about the state of the nation. Widowed plumber Leo is trying to make some sense of his life as he struggles to deal with distracting visions of his late wife and the growing pains of his teenage daughter and oddball son. Meeting penniless artist Diana and her eccentric landlord Amanzio was deﬁnitely not part of his plans.

Paulo Virzi’s delightful romantic comedy has been a huge box-oﬃce hit in Italy and helped to establish Luca Marinelli as one of the country’s rising stars. Marinelli plays Guido, a shy, unassuming intellectual who who works as a night porter in Rome. He is besotted with Antonia, a restless, unpredictable young woman who dreams of becoming a singer and works for a car rental company. Jobs and lifestyles mean they only see each other early in the morning as Guido returns from work and prepares a breakfast. They are a perfectly happy couple until they decide that the one thing that would make their lives complete is a baby...

The Interval L’intervallo Tue 16 Apr at 6.15pm Leonardo di Costanzo • Italy/Switzerland/Germany 2012 1h20m • Digital projection • Italian with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Salvatore Ruocco, Francesca Riso, Alessio Gallo.

Salvatore is a chubby teenager who sells lemon ices from a street cart. One day he is ordered to keep watch over rebellious teenager Veronica who is being held captive in an abandoned school. We are not sure what she has done or what fate lies in store for her. Over the course of a single day, the resentment between them fades as they explore the building, share conﬁdences and try to ﬁgure out what options are left to them. The atmospheric location and heartfelt performances help create a beguiling portrait of a contemporary Italy where predatory forces constantly hover at the fringes of ordinary people’s daily lives.

Katherine (Ingrid Bergman) and her husband Alex (George Sanders) are an English couple who have driven to Naples to view a villa left to her by her late uncle. There is a brooding, uncomfortable silence between them in which neither can identify or articulate the sense of discontent niggling away at the foundations of their marriage. The idea of breaking free from each other is fraught with danger and excitement. The possibility of remaining together is a daunting challenge. The ﬁlm has been beautifully restored by Cineteca di Bologna prior to a UK cinema re-release by the BFI in May.

Silvio Soldini • Italy/Switzerland/France 2012 • 1h48m Digibeta • Italian with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Claudia Gerini, Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Luca Zingaretti, Valerio Mastandrea.

This thoughtful, touching fable unfolds under the stern gaze of a statue of Garibaldi mounted on a horse. Garibaldi adds his own rueful reﬂections on modern Italy and the chaotic lives of the people who pass beneath him. This screening is supported by the Embassy of Switzerland in the United Kingdom.

Immaturi – Il viaggio

Fri 19 Apr at 8.30pm

Stefano Sardo • Italy 2013 • 1h14m Format TBC • Italian with English subtitles • 12A • Documentary

Tue 23 Apr at 6.15pm

Marco Tullio Giordana • Italy/France 2012 • 2h1m Digibeta • Italian with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Valerio Mastadrea, Pierfrancesco Favino, Michela Cescon.

Marco Tullio Giordana (The Best of Youth) delivers a meticulously staged and gripping drama based on a real life story. An explosion at the Banca Nazionale dell’Agricoltura in Milan in 1969 resulted in 17 deaths and injured dozens more. The protests sweeping Europe and the fear of communism led the police to focus their investigations on anarchist groups. But the Police Commissioner is convinced it’s not that simple. Intriguingly complicated and politically nuanced, Piazza Fontana is an ever-twisting conspiracy of lies, intrigue and dirty politics.

S.B.: I Knew Him Well S.B.: Io lo conoscevo bene Sat 20 Apr at 6.15pm Giacomo Durzi & Giovanni Fasanella • Italy 2012 • 1h14m Digibeta • Italian with English subtitles • 12A • Documentary

How did a former cruise ship entertainer become one of the most dominant ﬁgures in Italian public life over the past 30 years? Giacomo Durzi and Giovanni Pasanella’s documentary doesn’t take the easy option of rounding up his critics and mercilessly satirising Silvio Berlusconi. Instead, it takes him seriously, genuinely seeking to understand the Berlusconi phenomenon through an intimate portrait of his life and times told in the words of those who have know him best.

Recent stories about the food industry have alarmed consumers and left them increasingly wary of mass produced, so-called convenience meals. More than twentyﬁve years ago, Carlo Petrini was at the forefront of a protest against the opening of a McDonald’s restaurant in Rome. It was the beginning of a movement that is now active in more than 150 countries, a movement that believes in the joy of good local ingredients, treated with respect. Stefano Sardo’s documentary is a love letter to the Slow Food Movement.

Fear La paura Mon 22 Apr at 8.30pm Roberto Rossellini • West Germany/Italy 1954 • 1h24m • 16mm German with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Ingrid Bergman, Mathias Wieman, Renate Mannhardt.

It is impossible not to see elements of autobiography in the final collaboration between Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman. A tale of a marriage in crisis, soured by guilt and betrayal, it has inevitable parallels with the state of their own crumbling union. Based on a story by Stefan Zweig, Fear tells of a husband who becomes aware of his wife’s infidelity. The threat of exposure and the possibility of blackmail may tempt her towards a full confession, or may well push her into a corner from which suicide seems an increasingly attractive proposition. Rossellini saw Fear as a film about post-War Germany and the way material reconstruction had masked the need for a moral solution to the nation’s legacy of shame and guilt. Screening introduced by Dr Pasquale Iannone.

Paolo Genovese • Italy 2012 • 1h40m 35mm • Italian with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Anita Caprioli, Ambra Angiolini, Raoul Bova, Barbora Bobulova, Luca Bizzarri.

The star-studded sequel to Paolo Genovese’s smash hit comedy The Immature (a festival favourite in 2012) takes the reunited schoolfriends on a sun-kissed holiday to the gorgeous Greek island of Paros. It’s a time to relax, renew old acquaintance and just take pleasure in each other’s company. Well, that’s the plan anyway. A mixture of treacherous tequila, lethal watermelons, unexpected appearances from ex-girlfriends, guilty secrets and hidden tragedy test the ties of friendship to the limit in an appealing mixture of breezy comedy, beautiful picture postcard locations and surprising tenderness.

The Red and the Blue Il rosso e il blu Wed 24 Apr at 8.30pm Giuseppe Piccioni • Italy 2012 • 1h40m Digibeta • Italian with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Margherita Buy, Riccardo Scamarcio, Roberto Herlitzka.

IFF favourite Giuseppe Piccioni (Light of My Eyes) returns with a typically wise and witty adaptation of the Marco Lodoli novel set in a Rome school. Nothing is more important than the education of a future generation but is such a thing even possible in an age of scarce resources, undisciplined, indiﬀerent students and careworn teachers? The blackboard jungle is seen from the perspective of an idealistic supply teacher, a cynical, eccentric professor and a headmistress who cares more than she may be willing to admit.

Come and See.../New British Cinema Quarterly

ENTER THE DRAGON

Come and See... A monthly one-off screening of a great film we simply thought you might like to see, again or for the first time, on the big screen.

Enter The Dragon Tue 16 Apr at 8.45pm Robert Clouse • Hong Kong/USA 1973 • 1h38m Digital projection • 18 Cast: Bruce Lee, John Saxon, Jim Kelly, Ahna Capri, Kien Shih.

A new digital restoration of one of the most popular kung fu films ever, rescheduled after we had to cancel our planned screening in February. Perhaps the peak of the famed Bruce Lee’s career, Enter the Dragon achieved success by presenting a series of superbly staged fighting sequences with a minimum of distractions. The story finds Lee as a martial-arts expert determined to help capture the narcotics dealer whose gang was responsible for his sister’s death. This evil villain operates from a fortified island manned by a team of crack martial artists, who also host a kung fu competition. Lee uses his skills to enter the contest and then tries to chop, kick, and otherwise fight his way into the dealer’s headquarters. The story is, of course, merely an excuse for showdown after showdown, featuring masterly fighting by Lee in a wide variety of martial arts styles. Essential viewing for martial arts fans, the film was also embraced by a larger audience, thanks to a fast pace and higher-than-usual production values.

THE EVIL DEAD

The Evil Dead (1981) Tue 30 Apr at 8.30pm Sam Raimi • USA 1981 • 1h25m • Digital projection • 18 Cast: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard DeManincor, Betsy Baker, Theresa Tilly.

This auspicious feature debut from Sam Raimi – shot on 16mm in the woods of Tennessee for around $350,000 – secured the young director’s cult status as a creative force to be reckoned with. The nominal plot involves five vacationing college kids making an unplanned stopover in an abandoned mountain cabin surrounded by impenetrable woods. Before settling in for the night, they come across an ancient-looking occult tome filled with dense hieroglyphics and macabre illustrations, a dagger fashioned from human bones, and a reel-to-reel tape recorder. The taped message, dictated by a professor of archaeology, describes the contents of the Sumerian ‘Book of the Dead’, filled with incantations used to bring otherworldly demons to life, giving them license to possess the living. The message goes on to explain that those possessed by these demons can only be stopped by total bodily dismemberment. When played among the group later that evening, the professor’s recorded translations of the ritual chants traumatise the strangely prescient Shelly... and simultaneously release an ominous presence from the depths of the forest. Much copied but never bettered, this classic 80s horror is even scarier on the big screen!

FLYING BLIND

New British Cinema Quarterly Taking the most distinctive and original British films and filmmakers from the festival circuit and bringing them to the UK’s flagship independent cinemas. www.nbcq.co.uk

Flying Blind Sat 27 Apr at 6.10pm Katarzyna Klimkiewicz • UK 2012 • 1h28m Digital projection • cert tbc Cast: Helen McCrory, Najib Oudghiri, Kenneth Cranham, Tristan Gemmill, Lorcan Cranitch.

Frankie (Helen McCrory) is in her forties, single, ambitious and with a successful career in the aerospace industry designing surveillance drones for the military. She embarks on a passionate aﬀair with Kahil, a French/Algerian aerospace student twenty years younger than her. But one day when she arrives at work she is detained by the security services: Kahil is a person of interest to MI5. Frankie’s well-ordered life starts to unravel in a welter of suspicion and prejudice, as she no longer knows whether to follow her passion or listen to the doubts that increasingly overwhelm her. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Katarzyna Klimkiewicz.

THE DARK HOURS

MODUS ANOMALI

Dead by Dawn: The Prelude

Dead Shadows David Cholewa • France 2012 • 1h15m French with English subtitles • 18 Cast: Fabian Wolfrom, John Fallon, Blandine Marmigère.

A Parisian IT tech who’s scared of the dark has the worst night of his life when a mysterious comet causes all the lights to go out...

Dead by Dawn, Scotland’s International Horror Film Festival, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and to celebrate we’ve been showing a few of our favourite movies from previous editions. Here’s the ﬁnal screening before the festival itself kicks oﬀ on 25 April! www.deadbydawn.co.uk

The Dark Hours

Modus Anomali Joko Anwar • Indonesia 2012 • 1h27m • 18 Cast: Rio Dewanto, Hannah Al Rashid, Aridh Trimata, Izzi Isman.

Scotland’s International Horror Film Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary!

This year’s edition kicks off with a late night screening on Thursday 25 April and runs til late on Sunday 28. Passes for the whole On a weekend at their cabin, psychiatrist Dr Samantha festival (priced at a non-scary £75) are on Goodman, her husband and her sister get a surprise sale now from Filmhouse box office. Tickets visit from one of Sam’s ex patients. Having had enough for individual screenings will go on sale later, of having his head shrunk by the good doctor, Harlan’s purpose runs deeper than just a simple desire for revenge... after the final programme is confirmed. Sun 7 Apr at 9.00pm

Paul Fox • Canada 2005 • 1h20m • Format TBC • 18 Cast: Kate Greenhouse, Bruce McFee, Jeﬀ Seymour, David Calderisi.

While it’s possible to watch The Dark Hours strictly as a tense as hell thriller, there’s a lot more going on here than meets the eye. It manages to include explorations of infidelity, accountability, gender politics and modern psychiatry. Add in some beautiful moody cinematography, disconcerting sound design, a great supporting cast and an ambiguous and thought provoking finale, and you’ve got a rarity – a smart, harrowing film relying (mostly) on nuance and intelligence to make you squirm.

EVIL DEAD II

For more information about the festival and programme updates, sign up to our mailing list at www.deadbydawn.co.uk, or check www.ﬁlmhousecinema.com in mid-April. In the meantime, here are just a few of the ﬁlms that’ll be keeping you awake all weekend...

A man wakes up in a shallow grave and uncovers evidence of a brutal murder. He doesn’t know where or who he is, or why he’s been buried in the forest, but all sorts of grisly little clues start to pop up...

The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh Rodrigo Gudiño • Canada 2012 • 1h22m • 18 Cast: Aaron Poole, Vanessa Redgrave, Julian Richings.

Leon, an antiques collector, inherits a house that belonged to his mother, a member of a mysterious cult that worshipped angels – a cult that may have indirectly lead to her death.

Evil Dead II Sam Raimi • USA 1987 • 1h24m • No dialogue • 15 Cast: Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, Dan Hicks.

Reading from the Book of the Dead has unleashed an onslaught of demons, and our hero Ash (the one and only Bruce Campbell) ﬁnds himself stuck in a cabin ﬁghting against the forces of evil.

Eva lives with her parents in a village. She is finishing high school and dreams of moving to London, but doesn’t dare openly oppose her father Imrich, a gruff and uncompromising man who has his own ideas of the perfect family, and is building houses for each of his daughters on the family plot. All of this changes when Eva has an affair with a married man just before graduation. The House won the Krzysztof Kieslowski Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

WALKING TOO FAST

Director Lunak’s remarkably assured feature film debut has been praised for its visual accomplishment and sustained mood. Based on a gloomy graphic novel set in the zone along the Czech-German border known as the Sudetenland, the film uses rotoscoping to transfer live-action footage into a fully animated environment. A middle-aged loner who works as a train dispatcher finds solace in the regularity of the train schedule, even as he battles nightmares from the days following WWII. His agitation grows with the return of a mysterious mute, and the tumultuous atmosphere of communism’s collapse in 1989.

Robert Sedlácek • Czech Republic 2011 • 1h46m Digital projection • Czech with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Igor Chmela, Eva Vrbková, Jírí Vyorálek, Simona Babcáková, Albert Miksík.

Radim Spacek • Czech Republic/Slovakia 2009 • 2h26m Digital projection • Czech with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Ondrej Maly, Kristína Farkasová, Martin Finger, Lubos Vesely, Lukás Latinák.

This critically acclaimed drama (which won the main award from Czech critics last year) centres on a business executive, a member of the nouveau riche, on the run from the police, masking his escape as a family trip. Director Robert Sedlácek is one of the loudest voices in Czech cinema commenting on current society, sometimes with the lightness of a satire, but often, as in this case, with a searingly straightforward critique.

A secret agent willfully uses his power to destroy the lives of those who oppose the 1980s Communist regime in this engaging thriller, the first of its kind since the Velvet Revolution. In depicting the grim reality and despair that pervaded Czech life at the time, the film reveals a commonality among its characters, who are all looking for an escape. The film took home every major award of the Czech Film Academy, as well as the newly established Czech critics awards in 2011.

Sound It Out Jeanie Finlay • UK 2011 • 1h18m • Digital projection 12A – Contains infrequent strong language • Documentary

Tucked just oﬀ the high street in Stockton-on-Tees, Sound It Out Records is one of the last surviving vinyl record shops struggling to keep aﬂoat in the face of recession and changes in technology. A cultural haven in one of the most deprived areas in the UK, this is a distinctive, funny and intimate portrait of the North, its men and the irreplaceable role music plays in our lives.

Venkatesh is a self-contained teenage boy who works in a Goan hotel doing manual labour. As often as possible Venkatesh climbs a mango tree to observe an overgrown garden which surrounds a swimming pool, hidden behind a fence. The occupants of the house, an older man and his daughter, never swim in the pool, though the man sits in a chair contemplating the cool water. As the ﬁlm progresses Venkatesh becomes enmeshed in the lives of the man and his daughter and, as he slowly gains their trust, he learns their secrets.

Tomboy Céline Sciamma • France 2011 • 1h22m French with English subtitles U – Contains mild violence and occasional natural nudity Cast: Zoé Héran, Malonn Lévana, Jeanne Disson, Sophie Cattani.

An achingly tender and sweetly funny coming-of-age movie, Tomboy tells the story of ten year-old Laure, who moves to a new Paris suburb with her family. It’s the summer holidays, and all the local kids are running riot around the neighbourhood. Boyish Laure, when ﬁrst meeting with the gang, introduces herself as Michael. The other kids don’t even blink: Michael it is. And so the summer fun begins, with Laure, now Michael, doing everything she can to keep her new identity secret. But as the holidays draw to an end, and the threat of school looms, things start to get complicated.

Planet Bowie: Presented by Drambuie

ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS

Drambuie brings you A Taste of the Extraordinary...

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Planet Bowie

DA Pennebaker’s film of Bowie’s dazzling concert at the Hammersmith Odeon on 3 July 1973. Framed by a smattering of behind-the-scenes footage, the bulk of the film concerns the actual concert, notable as the final time that Bowie would perform under the Ziggy Stardust persona – an announcement that, at the time, led many fans to mistakenly believe Bowie was retiring altogether. This ‘final’ performance features numerous songs from Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane and other Bowie albums, as well as a cover of the Velvet Underground’s ‘White Light/White Heat’. Unmissable on the big screen!

Two final screenings in this celebration of David Bowie on film, marking the release of his first album in ten years. This is the fourth of six special seasons of films and events (see pages 10-12 for the fifth!), produced in partnership with Drambuie. Drambuie’s support means Filmhouse can screen some unique cinematic programmes that showcase the unexpected and extraordinary from film history. Audiences will also experience Drambuie’s blend of Scotch whisky, spices and heather honey in an array of bespoke cocktails created to celebrate each season by Drambuie’s Brand Ambassador, Bruce Hamilton.

Baal Sun 14 Apr at 2.00pm Alan Clarke • UK 1982 • 1h2m • Format TBC • 15 Cast: David Bowie, Zoe Wanamaker, Jonathan Kent, Polly James.

David Bowie stars as the titular anti-hero in this ﬁne production, adapted from Brecht’s play by John Willet and Alan Clarke and ﬁlmed for BBC Television in 1982. Bowie is convincing as the womanising poet and delivers the show’s songs with the required blend of deep conviction and ambituity, as we chart Baal’s demise from swaggering womaniser to friendless murderer. Clarke keeps the camera well back to create wide, beautifully lit tableaux.
