FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT

H O M E O F T H E E D I NB U RG H I N T E R N AT I O N A L F I L M F E S T I VA L

You’ll remember, remember, this month of November... Every month we have a staff meeting where my colleagues in the programming department and I meet with the other departments essential to the communication of our monthly programme to those we would hope to engage with it (that last group is you, by the way, dear reader!). Much of that meeting is, I guess, me prattling on about what’s coming up and them listening (one hopes, whilst occasionally being asked the names of films and directors that I am unable to mentally access in the heat of the moment), but I do get a sense of how much anticipation there is in the room for the upcoming programme, which in turn gives me an idea of how it might go down with you, our audience. It always goes down well with the staff... but, suffice to say, this particular programme went down particularly well, which now has me full of expectation as to the most important thing: what y’all might make of it. But what was it got them so enthusiastic? Was it the brilliant Joker, screening here exclusively (in Edinburgh) on a 70mm print? Was it our latest celebrations/festivals of French and German cinema, cleverly juxtaposed with the very month the UK exits the EU*? Or Ken Loach’s searing, righteous ode to the zero-hours worker, Sorry We Missed You? Was it the inclusion of the absolute stonewall EIFF 2019 staff favourite, the marvellous The Biggest Little Farm? Or perhaps it’s the fact that, exclusively again in Edinburgh, we’ll be showing a number of brilliant Netflix titles - David Michôd’s Timothée Chalametstarring The King; Martin Scorsese’s long-awaited epic The Irishman; Noah Baumbach’s stunning Marriage Story - on or ahead of their respective ‘bows’ on the streaming platform. I guess it could have been one or all of those things, or indeed any of the myriad other things I haven’t space to speculate on here! *Correct at time of going to print; and you’re right, there wasn’t anything clever about it, they are always in November! Rod White, Head of Programming

GRÂCE À DIEU Screening until Thu 7 Nov

François Ozon • France/Belgium 2018 • 2h18m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 - Contains child sexual abuse references, strong language. • Cast: Melvil Poupaud, Denis Ménochet, Swann Arlaud.

Based on true events surrounding the 2019 conviction of Cardinal Philippe Barbarin for concealing the crimes of Father Bernard Preynat, By the Grace of God is a searing new drama from French master François Ozon. Upon one of them discovering that Preynat is still in the priesthood and working with children, three men must now band together to lift the heavy blanket of shameful silence around the priest’s crimes. And so, they publicly denounce him - a move that puts their lives, relationships and very selves at risk.

BAIT Fri 1 to Thu 7 Nov Mark Jenkin • UK 2018 • 1h29m • 35mm • 15 - Contains very strong language, strong bloody images, sex references. • Cast: Edward Rowe, Mary Woodvine, Giles King, Simon Shepherd.

This remarkable British film is a clash of the old worlds and the new. Cornish fisherman Martin Ward (Edward Rowe) must deal with his brother Steven (Giles King), who uses their boat for tourist cruises, and the well-off Londoners who have bought his childhood home. The cultural clash is represented in the look of the film, shot with an old Bolex camera in black-and-white 16mm and hand-processed by Jenkin, which produces a realistic tone and a real sense of depth and history. Screening from a 35mm print - the only one in circulation!

THE KING

THE DAY SHALL COME

Fri 1 to Thu 7 Nov

David Michôd • UK/Hungary/Australia 2019 • 2h13m • Digital English and French with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong gory images, violence. • Cast: Timothée Chalamet, Robert Pattinson, Joel Edgerton, Lily-Rose Depp, Ben Mendelsohn, Sean Harris.

Chris Morris • UK/USA 2019 • 1h28m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language, sex references, drug misuse. • Cast: Marchánt Davis , Anna Kendrick, Danielle Brooks, Jim Gaffigan, Denis O’Hare.

In fifteenth century England, a young Prince is reluctantly taking his place on the English throne following the death of his tyrannical father. Based on Shakespeare’s Henriad series, The King follows Prince Hal’s (Timothée Chalamet) transformation from a distracted prince to a disinclined king, in an enduring battle of palace politics, reigning chaos and imminent war. Co-written and directed by David Michôd (War Machine, Animal Kingdom, The Rover), this historical drama features breathtaking battle scenes and a star-studded cast.

The perennially irreverent Chris Morris (Four Lions, Brass Eye) teams up once again with writer Jesse Armstrong (Peep Show) for another tall tale that pokes fun at homeland security, terrorism and society at large. Impoverished Miami preacher Moses (Marchánt Davis) is offered cash by a shadowy sponsor, who turns out to be the FBI. The Bureau’s darkly farcical plan is to turn Moses into a terror threat by fuelling his madcap revolutionary dreams. An emotionally gripping, laugh out loud thriller that goes to show - it’s much harder to catch a real terrorist than it is to manufacture your own...

CHAINED FOR LIFE

PHOENIX

Mon 4 to Thu 7 Nov

Aaron Schimberg • USA 2019 • 1h32m • Digital • 15 - Contains discrimination theme, injury detail, nudity. • Cast: Jess Weixler, Adam Pearson, Stephen Plunkett, Charlie Korsmo, Sari Lennick.

Camilla Strøm Henriksen • Norway 2019 • 1h26m • Digital Norwegian with English subtitles • 15 - Contains disturbing scenes, suicide references. • Cast: Maria Bonnevie, Sverrir Gudnason, Ylva Bjørkaas Thedin, Casper Falck-Løvås.

The finger-wagging opening of this feature by director Aaron Schimberg sets up a contrast to this story that challenges the glossy perfection of classic Hollywood. Mabel (Jess Weixler) is given the lead role of a blind woman in a hospital-based horror movie about abnormalities. As shooting progresses, she gradually falls for her British co-star Rosenthal (Adam Pearson), who has neurofibromatosis. Conflicted with the world she has been nurtured in, Mabel struggles to interact with her disfigured co-star. A darkly humorous approach to what we consider beautiful.

70MM PRINT

Norwegian writer-director Camilla Strøm Henriksen’s semi-autobiographical debut looks at the effects of a child over-burdened with adult responsibility. With subtle elegance and heavy Scandinavian aesthetic, this Olso-set drama tells the story of Jill, a young girl only days away from her 14th birthday. Forced to care for her mentally ill mother Astrid, as well as younger brother Bo, Jill bears the weight of her family’s emotional labour. But when tragedy strikes on her birthday, she will stop at nothing to have the best day - even if it means keeping a haunting secret.

AFTER THE WEDDING

Fri 8 to Thu 14 Nov

Todd Phillips • USA 2019 • 1h57m • 70mm • 15 - Contain strong bloody violence, language. • Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Brett Cullen, Marc Maron, Frances Conroy.

Bart Freundlich • USA 2019 • 1h52m • Digital • 12A - Contains infrequent strong language, upsetting scenes. • Cast: Michelle Williams, Julianne Moore, Billy Crudup, Will Chase, Abby Quinn.

In the profoundly fractured city of Gotham, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) has fallen through the cracks of society. A troubled, apathetic life bouncing between clowning by day and pursuing a doomed stand-up comedy career by night leads him ultimately to one bad decision, and a chain reaction of escalating consequences... With Joker featuring nods to classic Scorsese hits, and a performance from Robert De Niro as a charismatic talkshow host, we’ll also be screening Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy - see page 9.

In urgent need of funding for her orphanage in India, Isabelle (Michelle Williams) travels to New York to meet with Theresa (Julianne Moore), a wealthy benefactor. When the seemingly harmless Theresa invites Isabelle along to a family wedding, it seems like a generous offer of hospitality, but soon it’s revealed their worlds are tied together in a myriad of ways. Written and directed by Bart Freundlich (Mozart in the Jungle, The Rebound), this drama of unravelling mysteries places heavy suspicion upon innocent offers of both charity donations, and wedding invitations...

Now in his autumn years, Frank finds himself looking back at the triumphs and failings of his mob career working with the Bufalino crime family. Part historical drama, part crime thriller, this Netflix epic showcases the emotional toll that ensues from experiencing the intoxicating mix of politics, corruption and competition in the shadowy mob underworld.

Daniel Jones (Adam Driver), a Senate staffer, is tasked with leading an investigation into the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program, created in the aftermath of 9/11. In his arduous six-year journey to uncover the truth, Jones’ uncovers the lengths to which the CIA went to destroy evidence, subvert the law, and hide a shocking secret from the American public. When it comes to publishing his 6,700-page report, Jones finds himself in a battle against the CIA and White House who attempt to block his findings.

All 20-year-old Daniel wants to do is join the priesthood and satisfy his newfound spiritual devotion. However, serving time in a Youth Detention Centre for second degree murder is not conducive to his dream job. Sent to work in a carpentry workshop in a small town, Daniel refuses to give up on his dreams and, dressed up in the robes, masquerades as the new village priest. In the aftermath of a local tragedy, this young-offender turned charismatic preacher could bring the community back together - but how long will it be before someone unearths his criminal past?

Victor (Daniel Auteuil) is an ageing cartoonist set in his ways, who frequently clashes against his resentful wife Marianne (Fanny Ardent). He’s offered another chance when he meets entrepreneur Antoine, who has created Time Travellers - a service that immerses clients in a painstaking reenactment of whatever era they wish. Victor decides to relive the most memorable week of his existence, 40 years earlier, when Marianne walked into his life... Nicolas Bedos (Mr. & Mrs. Adelman) taps into our longing for the past in this witty romantic comedy. Also screening as part of the French Film Festival UK - see page 20

Kim Longinotto • Ireland 2019 • 1h34m • Digital • cert tbc • Italian and English with English subtitles • Documentary.

After promising their rescue dog Todd with a happy life, Los Angeles couple John & Molly Chester realise their tiny apartment isn’t cutting it. Following their long-held dream to harvest in harmony with nature, they trade in their city life for a 200-acre farm. But soon they find that the farming life isn’t easy, as they face a seemingly endless cascade of challenges from weather, infestations, and disease. With a background in cinematography, John documents their setbacks - and progress - over eight years. The Biggest Little Farm balances one family’s story with the practical ups and downs of starting a biodiverse farm.

In her 40s Letizia Battaglia escaped her stuffy lifestyle to follow her passion as a photojournalist. She took a job at a Palermo-based newspaper where she became the first female photographer for a daily paper in Italy. Expecting to take pictures of the ordinary, she soon found herself documenting the life and crimes of the Mafia. Shooting the Mafia is an inspiring account of a defiant woman who is willing to risk everything to tell the true story of the city she loves. The screening at 3.00pm on Sun 1 Dec will be followed by discussion with Reclaim the Frame, which we hope to be joined by Kim Longinotto.

Tue 3 to Thu 5 Dec

Sun 3 Nov at 2.00pm

Nick Hamm • USA/Puerto Rico/UK 2019 • 1h53m • Digital •15 Contains strong language, drug misuse. • Cast: Jason Sudeikis, Lee Pace, Judy Greer, Corey Stoll.

George Cukor • USA 1954 • 3h1m • Digital • PG • Cast: Judy Garland, James Mason, Jack Carson, Charles Bickford, Tommy Noonan.

The year is 1977. Suave and charismatic John DeLorean (Lee Pace) is living in luxury in California, however his ambitious gull-wing car company is struggling. He forms a friendship with new neighbour Jim Hoffman (Jason Sudeikis), who has escaped a drug-running charge by turning informant. Seeing trafficking cocaine as a way to raise quick money, DeLorean turns to Hoffman for help, but when Hoffman sees an opportunity to incriminate his new millionaire friend, DeLorean finds himself in hot water...

Judy Garland is at her peak in this dark, weighty fable of the price one pays to be at the top - the first of three remakes (to date) and arguably the best. A young singer (Garland) saves Norman Maine (James Mason), a star actor, from making a drunken fool of himself on stage. Later, a sober Norman hears her sing and decides to help this incredible talent get started in pictures. Eventually (after she changes her name from Esther Blodgett to Vicki Lester), he manages to get her the lead in a big musical. As Vicki’s star rises, however, Norman’s begins to fall.

INSPIRING JOKER

TAXI DRIVER

THE KING OF COMEDY

Wed 13 Nov at 1.00pm & 6.05pm

Thu 14 Nov at 1.00pm & 6.15pm

Martin Scorsese • USA 1976 • 1h54m • Digital • 18 - Contains very strong sex references and child prostitution theme. • Cast: Robert De Niro, Cybill Shepherd, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle.

Martin Scorsese • USA 1982 • 1h49m • Digital • PG - Contains mild language, sex references. • Cast: Robert De Niro, Jerry Lewis, Sandra Bernhard, Diahnne Abbott.

41 years old and endlessly imitated, Taxi Driver still packs a fearsome punch. From the instant a yellow cab prowls through a cloud of steam, accompanied by the lush menace of Bernard Herrmann’s score, Scorsese has you in his grasp. And of all the psychos, sociopaths, and screw-ups that Robert De Niro has played for the director, none is more iconic than Vietnam vet Travis Bickle, the cabbie on a self-appointed mission to wash the scum off the streets of New York City.

In his own mind, Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) is the next big comedy sensation to hit primetime television - all he needs is someone to listen to his jokes. Scorsese’s dark comedy rings true as a prophetic vision of fame-hunger and media frenzies to come, as Pupkin - obsessed with talk show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) - goes to drastic lengths to have his 15 minutes of fame. Stalking Jerry with fellow obsessive Masha (Sandra Bernhard), they hatch a plan to kidnap their idol...

With Joker taking inpiration from classic Scorsese hits Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy, we’ll be screening them to complement our run of Joker from a 70mm print - see page 5.

NEW DIGITAL RESTORATION

THE THIRD MAN Fri 8 to Thu 14 Nov Carol Reed • UK 1949 • 1h45m • Digital • PG - Contains mild threat. Cast: Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Orson Welles, Trevor Howard.

Summoned to occupied post-war Vienna by his old friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles), brash American pulp writer Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) arrives to find his old chum being widely mourned, especially by the actress Anna (Alida Valli), though less so by British Major Calloway (Trevor Howard). In this quartered, ruined, double-talking city, however, it’s as well to take nothing at face value... The Third Man remains among the most consummate of British thrillers: Reed and Greene’s sardonic vision of smiling corruption is deliciously realised with superb location work, a roster of seasoned Viennese performers and Anton Karas’ jaunty zither score.

One of Luis Buñuel’s greatest and funniest films, a scathing and surrealistic political comedy masterpiece about a wealthy group of friends repeatedly prevented from beginning their elaborate dinner by increasingly strange events. No matter how hard they try to enjoy their meal and the privileges money affords, everything from closed restaurants to terrorists conspire to thwart their pleasures... and soon it seems that the violence is even pervading their dreams.

When Leo (Gene Wilder) arrives on the scene to review Max’s accounts, the pair concoct a plan to produce a guaranteed flop that will make them a fortune entitled ’Springtime for Hitler’.

Home is where the heart is for Davy and Ally (George McKay, Kevin Guthrie). Returning home to Leith from duty in Afghanistan, the lads kindle romances old and new: Ally with Davy’s sister Liz (Freya Mavor), and Davy with Yvonne (Antonia Thomas), his wee sister’s best friend from work. Meanwhile, Davy’s parents Rab (Peter Mullan) and Jean (Jane Horrocks) are planning their 25th wedding anniversary. Everything’s going swimmingly, until a revelation from Rab’s past threatens to tear the family and all three couples apart...

Troubled and down on his luck scriptwriter Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) is the prime suspect of murdering a young woman, until girl-next-door Laurel Gray (Gloria Grahame) supplies him with a false alibi. But is he the killer? Often considered by critics as Bogart’s finest performance, this adaptation of Dorothy B. Hughes’s novel is a devastating masterpiece.

AIMLESS BULLET Mon 18 Nov at 8.20pm Yu Hyun-mok • South Korea 1961 • 1h52m • Digital • Korean with English subtitles • 18 • Cast: Kim Jin-kyu, Choi Moo-ryong, Seo Ae-ja, Kim Hye-jeong, Noh Jae-sin.

A public accountant’s salary is too small for him to even visit a dentist to get a cavity fixed, let alone support his family. However, he must somehow provide for his senile, shell-shocked mother, his malnourished, pregnant wife, a younger brother who won’t work, his unmarried sister who is prostituting herself to foreigners for extra money, and two young children. Aimless Bullet draws heavily off of the Italian Neorealist movement, and expresses the pain and despair brought on by Korea’s industrial development.

Hong Sangsoo • South Korea 2017• 1h6m • Digital • Korean with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Kim Minhee, Jung Jinyoung, Ki Joobong.

Lee Man-hee • South Korea 1964 • 1h50m • Digital • Korean with English subtitles • 18 • Cast: Kim Jin-kyu, Moon Jung-suk.

Different characters drift in and out of a backalley cafe in Seoul, looking for new inspiration or accommodation - while A-reum (Hong Sangsoo’s regular muse Kim Minhee) eavesdrops on their conversations, typing up her observations into what she describes as “sort of a diary, but not a diary.” Episodic, meandering and offering the mere ghost of a narrative, the film, too, is neither this nor that - but the apparent simplicity of Hong’s monochromatic long takes conceals a theatricalised artifice whose players may merely be A-reum’s fictions, or even lost souls.

Young Dr. Hyeon has, it seems, everything going for him. A good position at a private hospital, the attentions of the daughter of the hospital’s owner, a sexual liaison with an attractive nurse. Marriage to the boss’ daughter would open the way to his eventual succession to the directorship of the whole place. Then the nurse discovers she is pregnant. Trying to keep his suddenly fragile hopes alive, Dr. Hyeon resorts to drastic measures. He will be haunted and hunted down by the consequences.

A family gather one summer day to celebrate the mother’s 70th birthday. Things are peaceful until the unexpected arrival of the prodigal daughter, who had vanished four years earlier, brings chaos in tow. Family relations unravel to wonderfully excruciating comic and dramatic effect.

Acquitted at his first trial nearly ten years after the fact, Viguier was retried a year later in the Cour d’assises. Famous trial lawyer, Dupond-Moretti (Olivier Gourmet), agrees to take on the case.

MY POLISH HONEYMOON

LUNE DE MIEL Tue 12 Nov at 6.05pm

Élise Otzenberger • France 2018 • 1h28m • Digital • French and Polish with English subtitles • 15• Cast: Judith Chemla, Arthur Igual.

Packed with charm and laughter, this delightful comedy follows recently- married Parisian couple Anna and Adam as they head off on a belated honeymoon to Poland, leaving their baby in the hands of Anna’s parents. Whilst Anna hopes to find out something of her family’s history, Adam is more interested in having a few days alone with his wife. Immersed in a new but strangely familiar culture, they discover a Poland awash with absurd and wonderful characters, picture perfect beauty and unbearable sadness.

Sun 10 Nov at 3.15pm Eric Friedler • Germany/USA 2018 • 1h53m • Digital • English and German with English subtitles • 12A • Documentary.

What makes the story of jazz label Blue Note exceptional is not only its roster of artists - Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, to name just a few - but also its founders. Jazz buffs Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff fled Germany in the 1930s and settled in New York City, making it their life’s work to give the music they so admired the respect it deserved. Produced by Wim Wenders, this film is as cool as the Blue Note sound and as stylish as its iconic albums’ covers.

GOD OF THE PIANO Sun 17 Nov at 3.15pm Itay Tal • Israel 2018 • 1h19m • Digital • Hebrew with English subtitles 15 • Cast: Naama Preis, Andy Levy, Ze’ev Shimshoni, Ron Bitterman, Shimon Mimran.

A thoroughly absorbing psychological drama from Israeli director Itay Tal. When Anat, the scion of a distinguished musical family, learns that her newborn baby may become deaf, she decided in a moment or madness - or extreme clarity - to do the unthinkable, hoping that that would allow her to keep the family’s dream intact. This nuanced and suspenseful debut explores familial expectations, overpowering ambitions and the sacrifices we are willing to make in order to fulfil them.

Uncanny Valley is a place for dreams as well as nightmares. The hope here is to shine a lantern on the nocturnal neo-classics lurking in the shadows. The unsung heroes of grungy science-fiction, Lovecraftian terrors, social commentary in the form of farce comedies and, most importantly, strange and uncanny tales that evade definition. Be it a journey into the darkest depths of the world we live in or whimsical flights of hysteria and cringeworthy dilemmas, we hope to showcase the flicks of decades now adrift and ones best shown at night.

Tim Burton • USA 1996 • 1h41m • 35mm • English and French with English subtitles • 12A - Contains moderate fantasy horror.

The future Utopian society of San Angeles has eliminated violence and crime. But when a cryogenically un-frozen criminal stirs trouble, the non-violent authorities are at a loss and resort to un-freezing John Spartan (Stallone) to deal with the issue through more traditional methods.

This is Tim Burton at his eccentric best, backed by an entirely star-studded cast, cheesy dialogue, Danny Elfman soundtrack, fantastic intentionally corny visuals, huge budget, and loving tributes to 1950s and ‘60s Sci-Fi B-movies.

Young Charlie’s (Drew Barrymore) parents were part of top secret medical experiments which have given them superhuman powers. Charlie takes after them, but her abilities are so extraordinary, the government is tracking her down for more experiments. The special effects are fantastic, the cast is starfilled, the dialogue is corny, and the entire film is explosive!
