Introduction

THE ENIGMA OF KASPAR HAUSER

BLANCANIEVES

WADJDA

THE BLING RING

Good Weather is Bad Box Office As I gaze out over the Capital House car park, across the charmingly-monickered Chuckie Pend (the lane behind Filmhouse, aka Morrison Street Lane), it’s a glorious, blue-sky, June day. Whilst I would not wish to deny any of you some sunshine – heaven knows you’ve all paid your dues vis-à-vis the weather – my enjoyment of it is always tempered by the well-worn film industry adage at the top of this page. Maybe I need to get over it, leave such thoughts in the office, and enjoy the sunshine. Maybe I just need to get out more! But I suspect only your attendance in our darkened rooms can stop me worrying. My contentment, dear readers, is in your hands... By the time this programme kicks in, the awesome 2013 edition of EIFF will just have passed, and by no coincidence whatever we find ourselves showing a lot of films they brought to the city first! (Well, he’s a man of taste is EIFF director Chris Fujiwara.) First up is Sofia Coppola’s indictment of celebrity-obsessed society, The Bling Ring; Stories We Tell is Sarah Polley’s brilliant documentary about her family’s history, and in particular the actual question of her own parentage; from Iceland, The Deep tells the miraculous true story of the sole survivor of a fishing trawler wreck; Alex Gibney’s supremely timely (given arch-leaker Bradley Manning’s ongoing trial) and feisty We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks needs little explanation beyond that given by its title; and Fire in the Night recounts what happened the night of the worst offshore disaster the oil industry has ever seen, on the Piper Alpha North Sea platform, some 25 years ago. The Goya (Spanish ‘Oscar’)-winning Blancanieves (Snow White) is, à la the Oscar-winning The Artist of last year, a stunning, delightful homage to silent cinema; Wadjda, as well as being the first film made entirely within the kingdom of Saudi Arabia AND directed by a woman, is also a winning, handsomely crafted, utterly charming coming-of-age tale about a young girl who wants a bike, in a country were young girls don’t ride bikes; Renoir takes a beautiful, atmospheric, pastoral stroll through the latter years of the great artist (Auguste), paying particular attention to his relationship with his yet-to-be great filmmaker son (Jean); and Blackfish exposes the very dark side of keeping killer whales, including the infamous Tilikum, in captivity. Delightedly, we’re also screening the BFI restoration/reissue of Werner Herzog’s The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, and the doyen of European cinema, Michael Haneke, gets a full feature film retrospective, which we are only able to do with the help of our very good friends at Drambuie. And lastly, does anyone out there know why Chuckie Pend is called Chuckie Pend? It’s a question that crosses my mind just about every day… [Yeah, you definitely need to get out more. - Ed.] Rod White, Head of Filmhouse

Mon 1 to Thu 4 Jul

Fri 5 Jul to Thu 1 Aug

Joachim Lafosse • Belgium/Luxembourg/France/Switzerland 2012 1h51m • DCP • French and Arabic with English subtitles 15 – Contains distressing scenes Cast: Niels Arestrup, Tahar Rahim, Émilie Dequenne, Stéphane Bissot, Mounia Raoui.

James Erskine & Zara Hayes • UK 2013 • 1h23m • DCP PG – Contains mild language and sex references • Documentary

Soﬁa Coppola • USA 2013 • 1h30m • DCP 15 – Contains strong language and drug use Cast: Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Emma Watson, Claire Julien, Taissa Farmiga.

Based on a true story, celebrated director Joachim Lafosse’s intense, multi-layered dissection of an unorthodox family unit won Émilie Dequenne the prestigious Best Actress Award at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. Young and full of life, Murielle (Dequenne, Rosetta) has a promising future ahead of her when she meets and falls head over heels for Mounir (Tahar Rahim, A Prophet). A wedding soon follows, and the happy couple quickly set about starting a family. However, with family comes ties, and none come as tight as that between Mounir and his adoptive father Dr Pinget (Niels Arestrup, also in A Prophet). As the family grows, friction increases, and, helpless to extract her husband and children from the comfortable nest that Pinget has provided for them, Murielle is drawn into the unhealthy family dynamic. All sense of reason begins to abandon her, and there seems to be only one way out of this nightmare.

“I wasn’t just playing for myself. This was for everybody.” Tennis star and women’s rights activist Billie Jean King won a total of 39 Grand Slam titles, but the biggest match of her career took place in 1973 against former men’s champion Bobby Riggs, a self-proclaimed male chauvinist pig who declared that, even at the age of 55, he could beat any woman in the world. A rousing and hugely enjoyable documentary with a great soundtrack.

Fire in the Night Mon 1 to Sat 6 Jul Anthony Wonke • UK 2013 • 1h33m • DCP • 15 • Documentary

The world’s worst offshore disaster remembered, 25 years on. In tense detail, this riveting new documentary explores the 6 July 1988 disaster on the North Sea oil rig Piper Alpha. The film skilfully combines archival footage and audio recordings with present-day filmed interviews to recreate the suspense and horror of the disaster and to unfold the complex emotions of those who survived.

Soﬁa Coppola’s latest is based on an incredible true story. A group of L.A. high school friends track the activities of celebrities online so that they can rob their homes. Motivated less by greed than by a fascination with status brands and famous people, the gang target Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson, Lindsay Lohan and others, bragging of their intimacy with their victims. A biting, stylish take on celebrity culture.

Gilles Bourdos • France 2012 • 1h51m • DCP French and Italian with English subtitles • cert tbc Cast: Michel Bouquet, Christa Theret, Vincent Rottiers, Thomas Doret, Romane Bohringer.

Sarah Polley • Canada 2012 • 1h49m • DCP 12A – Contains one use of strong language and infrequent moderate sex references • Documentary

The Côte d’Azur, 1915. In his twilight years, Auguste Renoir is tormented by the loss of his wife, the pains of arthritic old age and the terrible news that his son Jean has been wounded in action. But when a beautiful young woman, Andrée, enters his world, the old painter is ﬁlled with a new, wholly unexpected energy. Back at the family home to convalesce, Jean too falls under Andrée’s spell... and, within weak-willed, battle-shaken Jean, a ﬁlmmaker begins to grow. Gilles Bourdos’s drama is a lyrical period piece with wonderful performances, based on real events and beautifully shot in the south of France.

Actor and director Sarah Polley’s ﬁrst feature documentary is a beautifully-structured investigation into the history of her own family – in particular her mother, who died when Polley was eleven. Layering interviews with family members and friends with archive footage and a recording of her father’s witty and revealing memoir, Polley builds up an enthralling collage of fact, hearsay and memory as she strives to ﬁnd out the truth about her mother, and, by extension, herself.

NEWRELEASE

We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks Fri 12 to Thu 25 Jul Alex Gibney • USA 2013 • 2h10m • DCP 15 – Contains strong real images of violence and strong language • Documentary

Exposing the truth behind exposing the truth. A young, unhappy American soldier presses a key on his computer and changes the world forever. Fascinating, frightening, and factual. Oscar-winning documentary director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) tackles the WikiLeaks phenomenon, adjusting the conventional focus to highlight crucial background stories whilst giving chase to the controversial website’s elusive, enigmatic figurehead, Julian Assange. After the 5.45pm screening on Tuesday 23 July 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.

Breathtaking seascapes frame this fascinating study of a reluctant national hero.

A wildly imaginative reinvention of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale Snow White, brought to life in the style of classic silent cinema, shot in gorgeous monochrome and featuring a stirring ﬂamenco score. The ﬁlm won 10 Goyas, including Best Film and awards for both lead actresses.

When a fishing boat sinks in the stormy waters off the coast of Iceland every member of the crew perishes... except for one. What makes Gulli different and how did he manage to endure almost nine hours in the frozen sea? Based on astonishing true facts, this is the story of how one man’s innate survival instinct shocked an army of medical professionals and came to symbolise the strength and determination of a nation.

Set in a romanticised 1920s Seville, director Pablo Berger’s beautifully realised melodrama follows Carmen, the daughter of a famous bullﬁghter, who lives under the tyrannical rule of her monstrous, evil stepmother. She escapes and joins a troupe of bullﬁghting dwarves, and, due to her beauty and natural talent in the ring, she becomes a star. But her stepmother, jealous of the attention Carmen is receiving, plots her downfall...

A groundbreaking drama, shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and the first feature by a female Saudi filmmaker, Wadjda gives us a rare glimpse of everyday life in Riyadh, and presents us with a charming and inspiring young hero in the shape of a smart, streetwise ten-year-old girl. Wadjda, lives in Riyadh with her mother, a beautiful young woman whose absentee husband is about to take a second wife. Wadjda’s dearest wish is to own a beautiful bicycle she’s spotted in a local shop – she wants be able to race her friend Abdullah, a neighbourhood boy. To raise the money she enters her school’s Koran recital competition with her eye on the cash prize. But Saudi society isn’t keen on strong-willed young girls who ride bicycles, and Wadjda has to fight for what should be hers by right.

Dreamy pharmacist Alice is totally obsessed with the works of Woody Allen. She surrounds herself with images of him, continually quotes lines from his films and even prescribes her customers DVDs of his movies to help alleviate their ailments; it’s little wonder she’s still single in her thirties! Alice’s increasingly concerned family hopes to cure her fixation by setting her up with a handsome Frenchman, but he quickly realises that he’s no match for the man of her dreams... A fun and brazenly nostalgic comedy which playfully pokes fun at France’s ongoing love affair with the acclaimed New York auteur.

In the summer of 2010, Dawn Brancheau, an experienced and skilful SeaWorld trainer, died following an incident involving Tilikum, a 12,000-pound orca. Media reports called it a freak accident, SeaWorld said these things almost never happened, the animals were happy and the trainers safe. But filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite, who had recently visited SeaWorld with her children, wondered if there was more to the story than first appeared. Why would a highly intelligent animal attack its trainer – in effect, bite the hand that feeds it? Investigating further, she was shocked to discover that Tilikum had been involved in an earlier incident at another marine park, and that attacks on humans by killer whales in captivity were actually fairly commonplace (though unheard of in the wild). This gripping and moving film, which includes distressing footage and emotional interviews, reveals how the treatment of these magnificent animals in captivity has turned them from sociable, loving creatures into potential killers.

Akiko (Rin Takanashi) is a beautiful, reserved young student who works as a prostitute on the side. Takeshi (Denden) is her client, an elderly academic who could be her grandfather. Noriaki (Ryo Kase) is Akiko’s verbose, insecure boyfriend, unaware of her double life. At least that’s who they are as Abbas Kiarostami’s Tokyo-set film sets up its narrative. Yet, as always with the Iranian master’s key works, identity is a slippery, mysterious thing. In Kiarostami’s universe – and in ours – relationships are infinitely elastic and subject to context that can twist unexpectedly, upending the meaning of who we are entirely. While the film progresses, its characters refuse to play out their roles in the usual manner. Even the director, you might argue, evades and resists his usual role.

Fri 5 to Thu 11 Jul

A second chance to see Filmhouse’s ﬁrst release as distributor, a fascinating, atmospheric, stylistic tour-de-force of idiosyncratic ﬁlmmaking..

The best by far of the various ﬁlms about the full-grown man who turned up out of the blue in 19th-century Germany, barely able to walk or talk, and became a ﬁgure of fame and controversy among doctors, scientists and educationalists of the day. Wisely, Herzog hardly bothers about Hauser’s origins and mysterious fate, choosing instead to compare Kaspar – an innocent at the mercy of a society too sure of itself – with the mostly liberal but blinkered rationalists who determine to shape his new life. Bruno S, himself something of an outcast, plays Kaspar to perfection, while Herzog brings a rare lyricism to his account of purity imperilled by contact with civilisation. Arguably his warmest and most poignant feature.

Before Elvis, before Elton John, Madonna and Lady Gaga, there was Liberace: virtuoso pianist, outrageous entertainer and flamboyant star of stage and television. A name synonymous with showmanship, extravagance and candelabras, he was a world-renowned performer with a flair that endeared him to his audiences and created a loyal fan base spanning his 40-year career. Liberace lived lavishly and embraced a lifestyle of excess both on and off stage. In the summer of 1977, handsome young stranger Scott Thorson walked into his dressing room and, despite their age difference, the two embarked on a secret five-year love affair. Steven Soderbergh’s sumptuous film, featuring wonderful performances from Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, takes a behind-the-scenes look at their tempestuous relationship.

“Much more than a biopic about Liberace, this expertly assembled ﬁlm recounts a true love story in a way we rarely see on screen: with honest humour, real feeling and startling insight.” - Shadows on the Wall SUBTITLEDSCREENING See page 2 for details.

Set in the mid 1990s outside St Petersburg, The Stoker tells the story of an ethnic Yakut, Major Skryabin, a shell-shocked veteran of the Afghan-Soviet War, who works as a stoker. Living in the incinerator room, the Major shovels coal all day, and fills his spare time writing a novel about a Russian criminal sent into exile in Yakutia in the XIX century, whilst turning a blind eye to his former military comrade-turnedhitman, the Sergeant, who arrives to dispose of bodies. But even our compliant stoker has his limits… This harsh, disturbing, minimalist, relentlessly evenly-paced, pitch-black comedy/drama gradually and steadily assumes considerable power, as Balabanov deftly teases our expectations, most notably, perhaps, with an ironic jaunty Latin-inflected, electro-folk score which works to perfection. Also available on Filmhouse Player from 12 July – see page 21 or go to www.filmhousecinema.com/player for more information.

Ulrich Seidl • Austria/Germany/France 2012 • 1h53m DCP • German and Arabic with English subtitles • cert tbc Cast: Maria Hofstätter, Nabil Saleh, Natalya Baranova, Rene Rupnik, Daniel Hoesl.

Ulrich Seidl • Austria/France/Germany 2013 • 1h40m DCP • German with English subtitles • cert tbc Cast: Melanie Lenz, Verena Lehbauer, Joseph Lorenz, Michael Thomas, Viviane Bartsch.

Austrian iconoclast Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy is an epic thematic tapestry telling the story of three women, whose stories delicately cross over between films, each finding themselves at a turning point in their lives while on a journey to find happiness.

The second film of Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy follows Anna Maria (Maria Hofstatter, one of the director’s frequent collaborators), the fanatically religious self-flagellating sister of the main character from Paradise: Love, who decides to spend her vacation time doing missionary work in the suburbs of Vienna. With a foot-high statue of the Virgin Mary in tow, she travels through immigrant communities imposing her beliefs on those she meets. Her work is interrupted by the surprise return of her husband Nabil (Nabil Saleh), an Egyptian Muslim who has been absent for two years and is now confined to a wheelchair. He is shocked by the change in his wife, and the two soon engage in an abrasive theological face-off.

Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy concludes as it began, with divorced mother Teresa sending her daughter Melanie off to weight loss camp, but this final chapter has a lighter touch and a surprising sweetness. A chubby 13-year-old, Melanie (Melanie Lenz) is not at all excited about this drab, industrialised campground in the middle of the woods where dieticians and fitness coaches impose a boot-camp style regimen. That is, until she meets Verena (Verena Lehbauer), a ribald cabin mate who loves to share tales of her extensive sexual experience, and even sneaks Melanie into town for a spirited night of drinking and dancing.

Paradise: Love Paradies: Liebe Fri 26 to Sun 28 Jul Ulrich Seidl • Austria/Germany/France 2012 • 2h • DCP German, English and Swahili with English subtitles 18 – Contains strong sex and nudity Cast: Margarete Tiesel, Peter Kazungu, Inge Maux, Dunja Sowinetz.

Paradise: Love follows 50-year-old divorcee Teresa, who sends her daughter to weight loss camp before heading to the Kenyan beaches for a vacation. There, a friend introduces her to the world of sexual tourism, where older women become ‘Sugar Mamas’ for strapping young beach boys. Uncomfortable at ﬁrst, Teresa eventually meets Munga, a more sensitive suitor who seems to feel a genuine aﬀection towards the older woman. But it soon becomes unclear who is the exploiter and who is the exploited. Seidl sets the tone for the trilogy with his signature blend of realism, social commentary, and warped humour. Giving a truly brave performance is lead actress Margarete Tiesel, who embodies the tragedy of a woman looking for true romance in a society where that is the one thing money cannot buy.

With Paradise: Faith, Seidl gleefully examines the hypocrisies of religious zealotry through expressive confrontation, satire, and a shockingly explicit chance encounter. But the ﬁlm also shows tenderness, as the relationship between husband and wife, fractured as it may have become, is their true saving grace.

While Paradise: Hope contains all the hallmarks of Seidl’s distinctive and provocative style, here he ﬁlls the story with a sensitive openness, with Melanie as a particularly poignant heroine, that provides an unexpected and refreshing ﬁnale to the series, ending on a true note of hope.

Ray Harryhausen

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND

THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD

Ray Harryhausen Ray Harryhausen, visual effects pioneer and stop-motion model animator, died on 7 May 2013 at the age of 92. Harryhausen’s influence on today’s filmmakers was enormous; Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, George Lucas, John Landis and Nick Park have cited Harryhausen as being the man whose work inspired their own creations. Harryhausen’s fascination with animated models began when he first saw Willis O’Brien’s creations in King Kong in 1933, and he made his first foray into filmmaking in 1935 with home movies that featured his youthful attempts at model animation. Over the years he worked on some of the fantasy genre’s best known movies, and is perhaps best remembered for his extraordinary animation of seven skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts (1963), which took him three months to film. Harryhausen’s genius was in being able to bring his models alive. Whether they were prehistoric dinosaurs or mythological creatures, in his hands they were no longer puppets but became instead characters in their own right, just as important as the actors they played against and in most cases even more so.

Sinbad is sailing to Baghdad, accompanied by Princess Parisa, his future bride. A violent storm blows the ship off course, and the travellers land on the island of Colossa, where they find the sorcerer Sokurah being chased by a monstrous cyclops from whom he has stolen a magic lamp. Sinbad fends off the cyclops, and with help from the lamp’s genie they are able to escape. But that’s just the beginning of their adventures... Harryhausen’s first colour film is also one of the greatest achievements in fantasy filmmaking since King Kong, featuring a baby roc and its giant mother, a fire-breathing dragon and a sword-fighting skeleton.

Michael Haneke

Sat 6 Jul at 1.45pm + 6.10pm & Sun 7 Jul at 6.10pm Yves Montmayeur • Austria/France 2012 • 1h32m DCP • German and French with English subtitles 18 – Contains strong bloody violence and explicit images of sex Documentary

Michael Haneke • Austria 1989 • 1h44m • DCP German, French and English with English subtitles 18 – Contains suicide theme Cast: Birgit Doll, Dieter Berner, Leni Tanzer, Udo Samel, Silvia Fenz.

Over the last 25 years, Michael Haneke has established himself as one of the most important directors in cinema history. From his early work to Amour, he has created a unique universe, revealing like no other the darkest corners of society, our existential fears and emotional outbursts.

Haneke’s impressive feature theatrical debut follows three members of a middle-class family as their lives and relationships slowly disintegrate. A stunning examination of the eﬀects of emotional isolation and the inability to communicate in the modern age.

Michael Haneke is one of the most brilliant and distinctive writer/directors of contemporary European cinema. We are delighted to present this retrospective, which includes every feature film made by this exceptional filmmaker plus a documentary about his work. This is the sixth and final special season of films 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. For updates and giveaways on Drambuie’s ‘A Taste of the Extraordinary’ cinema seasons, visit facebook.com/UKDrambuie or @Drambuie

Through interviews with his actors, Isabelle Huppert, Juliette Binoche, Emmanuelle Riva and many more, as well as previously unseen footage, Michael H. depicts the work of a rare artist.

A chilling look at isolation, alienation and violence, and a critique of mass media eﬀects on behaviour. 14-yearold Benny, largely ignored by his parents, spends his time watching violent movies and ﬁlming with his video camera. One day, on a whim, he invites a girl to his house, and records the events that transpire.

Sun 4 Aug at 8.30pm & Mon 5 Aug at 5.45pm

Wed 17 Jul at 6.30pm & Thu 18 Jul at 8.45pm

Michael Haneke • Austria 1997 • 1h49m • 35mm German and French with English subtitles • 18 Cast: Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe, Arno Frisch, Frank Giering.

Michael Haneke • Austria/France/Germany 2001 • 2h5m 35mm • French and German with English subtitles 18 – Contains strong language, violence, sexual violence, sex and sado-masochism theme Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Annie Girardot, Benoît Magimel, Susanne Lothar, Udo Samel.

Michael Haneke • Austria/Germany 1994 • 1h40m • DCP German, Romanian and English with English subtitles 12A – Contains moderate violence Cast: Lukas Miko, Otto Grünmandl, Anne Bennent, Udo Samel.

A cool, cerebral meditation on violence and the media, 71 Fragments follows a number of seemingly unrelated characters, gradually letting the audience know more about each one before revealing what connects them. The third ﬁlm in Haneke’s so-called ‘trilogy of emotional glaciﬁcation’, which began with The Seventh Continent and continued with Benny’s Video.

Two psychotic young men take a mother, father and son hostage in their holiday cabin and force them to play sadistic ‘games’ with one another for their amusement.

“It isn’t supposed to be a ﬁlm you like. What I hope is that they [the audience] ﬁnd it disturbing.” - Michael Haneke

Code Unknown Code inconnu The Castle Das Schloß Sun 21 Jul at 8.00pm & Mon 22 Jul at 6.15pm Michael Haneke • Germany/Austria 1997 • 2h3m DCP • German with English subtitles 12A – Contains moderate sex Cast: Ulrich Mühe, Susanne Lothar, Frank Giering, Felix Eitner.

Haneke’s made-for-TV ﬁlm of Kafka’s classic is faithful in letter and spirit to the very end. K, a land surveyor (or is he?), turns up at a village and undergoes endless bewildering, frustrating and demeaning experiences at the hands both of a repressive bureaucracy (the Castle, which we never actually see) and of the strangely complicitous villagers. A strong sense of absurdity imbues the overall atmosphere of guilt, paranoia, misplaced ambition, desire and impotence, and Haneke’s cool, characteristically austere direction and the stark design lend the ﬁlm a strange, mesmerising logic all of its own.

In her late thirties, Erika Kahut is a piano teacher at the esteemed Vienna Conservatory. She is strict, intimidating and respected; however, her personality is a diligent construction and a painful response to her constricted life. She still shares an apartment with her mother and their co-dependent relationship is stiﬂing and even violent. Erika’s twisted regimen and careful façade are completely obliterated when Walter, a younger student, decides to seduce his teacher.

Wed 31 Jul at 6.00pm & Thu 1 Aug at 8.30pm Michael Haneke • France/Germany/Romania 2000 • 1h57m 35mm • French, Romanian, English, German, Arabic, Malinke and French Sign Language with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language Cast: Juliet Binoche, Thierry Neuvic, Sepp Bierbichler, Ona Lu Yenke, Luminita Gheprghiu, Arsinée Khanijan, Alexandre Hamidi.

Whereas much of Haneke’s previous work placed an extremely violent act at the centre, in Code Unknown the violence is more subtle and psychological in nature. In a kaleidoscope of tales, some interrelated, some not, Haneke delivers a sobering reﬂection on the nature of action and obligation. The events of the ﬁlm are propelled by a fascinating opening scene where a triad of characters and stories intersect: an illegal immigrant from Romania, a man who lives in Paris with his African family, and an actress married to a war photographer constantly away on assignment.

The Time of the Wolf Le temps du loup Thu 8 Aug at 6.00pm & Fri 9 Aug at 8.45pm Michael Haneke • France/Austria/Germany 2003 • 1h53m 35mm • French and Romanian with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language and animal slaughter Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Béatrice Dalle, Patrice Chéreau, Rona Hartner, Olivier Gourmet.

The opening of The Time of the Wolf recalls Haneke’s 1997 film Funny Games. Anne (Isabelle Huppert) and her two children watch in horror as her husband is gunned down by a stranger who has invaded their holiday home. But there the comparison ends. As the remaining trio go on the run through the countryside, much of the first half of the film is shrouded in darkness. It’s only after they encounter a group of what appears to be vagrants that all becomes clear. SEASON CONTINUES OVERLEAF

Caché Hidden

The White Ribbon Das weiße Band

Sun 11 Aug at 8.40pm & Mon 12 Aug at 5.50pm

Sun 25 Aug at 8.15pm & Mon 26 Aug at 5.45pm

Michael Haneke • France/Austria/Germany/Italy/USA 2005 1h58m • 35mm • French with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong violence Cast: Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche, Maurice Bénichou, Annie Girardot, Bernard Le Coq.

Michael Haneke • Austria/Germany/France/Italy 2009 2h24m • 35mm • German with English subtitles 15 – Contains child abuse references Cast: Ulrich Tukur, Susanne Lothar, Josef Bierbichler, Mercedes Jadea Diaz, Burghart Klaußner.

Georges, a TV talk-show host, receives a mysterious videotape containing two hours of static footage of his house. More tapes follow, and Georges becomes convinced that a pivotal ﬁgure from his past is responsible. With Caché, Haneke elegantly interlaces the concepts that have long obsessed him – bourgeois complacency penetrated by strange invaders, the surfacing of subconscious guilt, the ripple eﬀects of violence across generations.

With this dazzlingly intelligent drama, which won him his ﬁrst Palme d’or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival (he won a second with Amour in 2012), Haneke returns to his classic themes of guilt, denial and violence as the mysterious symptom of mass dysfunction. In a secluded northern German village on the eve of the First World War, malicious incidents – some small, some not small – begin to occur, and the very structure of this small community seems to be under threat. Impeccably acted, shot in monochrome, and directed with the ﬁlmmaker’s icily exact rigour and severity.

Funny Games U.S. Sun 18 Aug at 8.45pm & Mon 19 Aug at 6.00pm Michael Haneke • UK/USA/France/Austria 2007 • 1h51m • 35mm 18 – Contains strong sustained threat, humiliation and violence Cast: Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Michael Pitt, Brady Corbet, Devon Gearheart.

Haneke’s English-language remake of his own 1997 ﬁlm uses the viewer’s expectations against him or her. He makes a bold statement about how the indoctrination of mainstream thrillers has made violence and terror acceptable for entertainment by crafting a motion picture that is anything but entertaining. It gives you what you want and asks why you want it in the ﬁrst place, and it does both those things superbly. It is cruel, cold and darkly thrilling.

Amour Love Sun 1 Sep at 8.30pm & Mon 2 Sep at 5.50pm Michael Haneke • Austria/France/Germany 2012 • 2h7m DCP • French and English with English subtitles 12A – Contains one use of strong language and distressing scenes Cast: Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert.

Haneke’s deserving Palme d’Or-winner about an otherwise comfortably-oﬀ octogenarian couple, Georges and Anne (Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva), trying to cope when a stroke leaves the wife partly paralysed and speechless, is characteristically honest and unsentimental. The ﬁlm takes place in the couple’s Paris apartment; as Anne’s condition deteriorates, so their world shrinks, and visits by their daughter and others merely distract Georges from the business of deciding what’s best for his wife.

Tue 16 to Thu 18 Jul at 12.45pm

Please note: although we normally disapprove of people talking during screenings, these shows are primarily for kids, so grown-ups should expect some noise!

In this heartwarming and funny film, two kids, Ethan and Jaden, have a plan to throw an ambitious dance show in order to save their struggling youth centre from demolition. The two have to race against the clock to bring together their completely uncoordinated and misfit cast to pull off the biggest achievement of their lives…

Epic

My Neighbour Totoro

Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away begins as ten-yearold Chihiro and her parents discover a tunnel in the countryside that leads them into an old, abandoned theme park. While her parents help themselves to the contents of a food stand, Chihiro goes exploring. But as night falls she returns to ﬁnd that mum and dad have been turned into pigs, leaving her trapped in the spirit realm. Sent to work in a bathhouse for the gods, Chihiro has to ﬁnd a way to break the spell. A feast of gorgeous animation and intelligent storytelling.

A family adventure comedy that reveals a fantastical world unlike any other. Epic tells the story of an ongoing battle between the forces of good, who keep the natural world alive, and the forces of evil, who wish to destroy it. When a teenage girl ﬁnds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she teams up with an elite band of warriors and a crew of comical, larger-than-life ﬁgures to save their world...and ours.

This superbly animated children’s tale is directed by Hayao Miyazaki, one of Japan’s most beloved animators. The story follows Satsuke and Mei, two young girls who ﬁnd that their new country home is in a mysterious forest inhabited by a menagerie of mystical creatures named totoros. The eldest of these creatures becomes their friend, and, as their mother lies sick in the hospital, he takes the sisters on a magical adventure while also helping them to understand the realities of life.

THE WOMEN

SPECIALSCREENING

George Cukor’s 1939 satire offers a scathing portrait of backbiting and betrayal among Manhattan socialites. Mary Haines (Norma Shearer) is the last to discover that her husband has been playing away with perfume salesgirl Crystal Allen (Joan Crawford). The subsequent outpouring of sympathy from her so-called friends is laced with venom: assuring Mary she has her best interests at heart, Sylvia (Rosalind Russell) forces her into a confrontation with the home-wrecking riff-raff, but the incident ignites public scandal. With her reputation in tatters and Crystal digging her stilettos in, Mary must decide whether to bow out gracefully or bare her claws...

Richard Fleischer

ARMORED CAR ROBBERY

Richard Fleischer The final three screenings in this retrospective, a collaboration between Filmhouse and the Edinburgh International Film Festival Fleischer directed some of the most distinctive and most enduring Hollywood classics over a career that spanned six decades and ranged from film noir to science fiction. His versatility, while enabling him to achieve commercial longevity, may also be a reason why Fleischer has been consistently underrated by critics and historians. Yet his films are in the best tradition of mainstream cinema with their deft interweaving of thrilling action and psychological complexity. We are hopeful that these screenings will be introduced by Chris Fujiwara, Artistic Director of EIFF – please check our website for confirmation. www.edfilmfest.org.uk

VIOLENT SATURDAY

THE VIKINGS

Armored Car Robbery

The Vikings

Tue 2 Jul at 6.30pm

Sun 7 Jul at 6.00pm

Richard Fleischer • USA 1950 • 1h7m • 16mm • PG Cast: Charles McGraw, Adele Jergens, William Talman, Douglas Fowley, Steve Brodie.

Richard Fleischer • USA 1958 • 1h56m • DCP • PG Cast: Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine, Janet Leigh, James Donald.

This grim and relentless B heist ﬁlm, a precursor to John Huston’s The Asphalt Jungle and Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing, shows Fleischer developing his mastery over plots in which diverse individuals become involved in a web of complex action. Psychopathic criminal mastermind Dave Purvis devises a seemingly foolproof plan to rob an armoured truck at Wrigley Stadium in Los Angeles. When things go inevitably wrong as a policeman is killed, the thieves fall out with one another and the dead cop’s vengeful partner takes charge of the case.

With the aid of a physically perfect cast and Jack Cardiﬀ ’s magniﬁcent widescreen cinematography, Fleischer brings the 10th century to vivid life in this witty and eloquent action spectacle.

Violent Saturday

Kirk Douglas stars as Einar, the son of Viking king Ragnar (Ernest Borgnine). Tony Curtis is a British slave who, unknown to all, is the illegitimate son of Ragnar. The two half-brothers become bitter enemies and rivals for a beautiful princess (Janet Leigh) but come together to protect their father’s kingdom. Maiming, mutilation and mayhem ensue. Fleischer: “During the shoot, by a strange alchemy, we were all possessed by the Viking spirit.”

Thu 4 Jul at 6.15pm Richard Fleischer • USA 1955 • 1h30m • DCP • PG Cast: Victor Mature, Richard Egan, Stephen McNally, Virginia Leith, Lee Marvin.

One of Fleischer’s most brilliant ﬁlms, a mix of melodrama and heist thriller, set in a small American city where three mysterious strangers arrive to plot and execute a bank robbery. Sydney Boehm’s tight and elegant script interweaves the lives of several townspeople who become innocent bystanders, victims, or nemeses of the trio’s misdeeds, including an alcoholic war hero, his unfaithful wife, a peaceful Amish farmer, and a mine supervisor who has lost his young son’s respect. The whole cast is outstanding, and Fleischer uses CinemaScope to build continuously unfolding visual excitement.

BEAUTY

Beauty Skoonheid Oliver Hermanus • South Africa/France/Germany 2011 • 1h45m Afrikaans and English with English subtitles 18 – Contains strong real sex and sexual violence Cast: Deon Lotz, Charlie Keegan, Michelle Scott, Roeline Daneel.

The ﬁrst Afrikaans-language ﬁlm to be screened at Cannes, Beauty tells the story of François, a middle-aged man whose well ordered existence unravels. A chance encounter with Christian, the son of a long lost friend, ignites infatuation and lust within the unhappily married François, plunging him into a confusion of self-loathing, tinged with a desperation for happiness. 27-year-old South African director Oliver Hermanus has delivered a taut, seething character study, pulsing with pent up energy.

The Filmhouse Player is a pilot project, in collaboration with GFT and video-on-demand providers Distrify, supported by NESTA’s Digital R&D Fund, Scotland.

A Late Quartet

Sound It Out

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

Jeanie Finlay • UK 2011 • 1h18m 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.

A powerhouse cast brings vivid life to Yaron Zilberman’s engrossing drama about an illustrious string quartet, whose quarter-century anniversary precipitates a tempestuous 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. Meanwhile the marriage between second violinist Robert (Philip Seymour Hoﬀman) and violist Juliette (Catherine Keener) goes suddenly south when inﬁdelity rears its head.
