Notes on Blindness

Friday 1 - Thursday 7 July Notes on Blindness is a thought-provoking documentary exploring the loss of sight. Theologian and writer John Hull began to lose his sight, and over three years he made a series of audio recordings of his experience. Melding classic documentary elements with cinematic re-enactments, Notes on Blindness proves a poetic and intimate story of loss, rebirth and transformation. The Friday 1 July screenings will be accompanied by Notes on Blindness: Into Darkness, a Virtual Reality presentation based on John’s sensory and psychological experience, using binaural audio and real time 3D animations to create a fully immersive experience. Check glasgowfilm.org for details. Director Pete Middleton, James Spinney UK 2016, 1h26m, U

Queen of Earth

The Daughter

Friday 1 & Saturday 2 July A psychological horror movie with an emphasis on the (crumbling) psyche, the latest film from Alex Ross Perry focuses on the disintegrating relationship between two old friends. Elisabeth Moss delivers a searing central performance as Catherine, a recently single young professional who absconds to a lake cabin with her friend Virginia (Inherent Vice’s Katherine Waterston) after a particularly messy breakup. However, their friendship is not what it once was, and minor cracks soon give way to gaping chasms of introspection, self-doubt and a painful lack of belonging.

Sunday 3 & Monday 4 July A powerful reworking of Henrik Ibsen’s The Wild Duck with perfectly pitched performances from Geoffrey Rush, Miranda Otto, Sam Neill and Paul Schneider. In a small Australian logging town, the closure of the mill spells disaster for the local economy. However, it seems unlikely to cause sleepless nights for arrogant mill owner Henry (Rush). He is preparing for his wedding and the return of his estranged son Christian (Schneider) to serve as best man. But a dark secret from the past collides with the concerns of the present and they all head towards a day of reckoning.

Director Alex Ross Perry Cast Elisabeth Moss, Katherine Waterston, Patrick Fugit, USA 2015, 1h30m, 15

Director Simon Stone Cast Geoffrey Rush, Miranda Otto, Paul Schneider, Australia 2015, 1h35m, 15

The Neon Demon

Friday 8 - Thursday 14 July Following on from Only God Forgives, Nicolas Winding Refn delivers another film that is sure to divide opinion. Elle Fanning plays Jesse, an innocent teen who moves to Los Angeles to crack the fashion world. Upon entering the modelling industry, she finds herself amongst a group of envious and beauty-obsessed women, desperate to devour her youth and vitality (literally, in some cases). This is fashion-world satire as horrific nightmare, and the sleek, highly-stylized imagery makes it as absorbing and gripping as it is outrageous. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available Director Nicolas Winding Refn Cast Elle Fanning, Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves France/USA/Denmark 2016, 1h57m, 18

Maggie’s Plan

The Mafia Kills Only in Summer

La mafia uccide solo d’estate Friday 8 - Sunday 10 July An inspired coming of age comedy that pays heartwarming tribute to all of those who have fallen in the long struggle against the Mafia. Arturo is born in 1970s Sicily where everyday life is dominated by crime, corruption and execution. His childhood is marked by his impossible love for classmate Flora and a devotion to Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti. Arturo’s story is interwoven with true tales of those who gave their lives in the fight against organised crime in a rollicking film that is funny and unexpectedly moving. Director Pierfrancesco Diliberto Cast Cristiana Capotondi, Alex Bisconti, Rosario Lisma, Italy 2013, 1h30m, subtitles, CTBC

Friday 8 - Thursday 14 July A young woman longing to start a family becomes involved in a complicated love triangle. Greta Gerwig is Maggie, an independent New Yorker whose plans to have a baby via artificial insemination are derailed when she meets and falls for John (Ethan Hawke), an unhappy academic married to Danish critical theorist Georgette (Julianne Moore). Three years on and experiencing a change of heart, Maggie devises some meddlesome schemes to put things right. Greta Gerwig delivers a typically absorbing performance in this delightfully witty and smart offbeat comedy. Director Rebecca Miller Cast Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore, USA 2015, 1h39m, 15

Men & Chicken Mænd & høns

Friday 15 - Thursday 21 July If Franz Kafka had written a film for The Three Stooges, it might have turned out like Men & Chicken. Two misfit brothers set off to find their real father and discover much more than they had bargained for, in Anders Thomas Jensen’s first film as a director in 10 years. In this gleefully eccentric freewheeling delight, screwball farce and slapstick violence mix with philosophical musings on science and religion. Blazingly original and uproariously funny, Men & Chicken also features an uninhibited Mads Mikkelsen as you’ve never seen him before. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available Director Anders Thomas Jensen Cast Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, David Dencik Denmark/Germany 2015, 1h42m, subtitles, 15

Elvis & Nixon

Summertime La belle saison

Friday 15 - Thursday 21 July Sweeping social change is reflected in intense personal experiences in this exuberant autobiographical drama from writer/director Catherine Corsini. In 1971 Delphine (Izïa Higelin) leaves the family farm for the freedom of the big city. In Paris, she meets Spanish teacher Carole (Cécile De France) and a group of militant activists in the feminist movement. Delphine is inspired by their passion for change, and is drawn into a deeper relationship with Carole. But she also finds her roots are not so easy to escape in this poignant, bittersweet remembrance of love. Director Catherine Corsini Cast Cécile De France, Izïa Higelin, Noémie Lvovsky, France/Belgium 2015, 1h45m, subtitles, 15

@glasgowfilm

Friday 15 - Monday 18 July One December morning in 1970, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll turns up on the doorstep of the White House to meet the most powerful man in the world requesting to be made a federal agent. A farcical scramble ensues as entourages on both sides coordinate a meet-and-greet. With the two icons played by Michael Shannon and Kevin Spacey respectively, director Liza Johnson weaves an imagined story from behind the Oval Office doors, capturing a preWatergate moment in a time when America had both a King and a President. Elvis & Nixon also screens as part of Visible Cinema on Monday 18 July. Check p30 for details. Director Liza Johnson Cast Michael Shannon, Kevin Spacey, Alex Pettyfer, USA 2016, 1h26m, 15

Chevalier

Friday 22 - Thursday 28 July The third feature from Attenberg director Athina Rachel Tsangari is a richly comic reflection on the male ego. Six men are on an expensive yachting holiday in the Aegean. They range in age and social status from an elegant 60-something GP to a 30-year-old doormat who still lives with his mother. They all agree to a test of their masculinity that grows increasingly petty and rancorous as they go from assembling flatpack furniture to comparing the size of their erections. Finding the measure of a man is the basis of a funny, provocative and profound comedy. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available Director Athina Rachel Tsangari Cast Yiorgos Kendros, Panos Koronis, Sakis Rouvas Greece 2015, 1h45m, subtitles, 18

Losing Ground

Sunday 17 July (19.10) Three decades after its release and 25 years after director Kathleen Collins’ death, Losing Ground is in cinemas for the very first time, thanks to a new digital restoration. One of the very first fictional features by an African-American woman, the film takes a wryly humorous look at the relationship of a philosophy professor (Seret Scott) and her philandering painter husband (Bill Gunn). Its focus on a black female character who is both intellectually and sexually empowered was groundbreaking at the time, and the film is still considered to be a feminist masterwork. Director Kathleen Collins Cast Seret Scott, Bill Gunn, Maritza Rivera, USA 1982, 1h26m, N/C 15+

Cemetery of Splendour (Rak ti Khon Kaen)

Friday 22 - Sunday 24 July Soldiers afflicted by a mysterious sleeping sickness are stationed in a temporary clinic in a former school. A young medium named Keng helps visitors communicate with their comatose loved ones, while a volunteer, Jenjira, senses there may be a connection between the soldiers’ inexplicable syndrome and the ancient, mythic site on which the clinic is built. Visionary filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s new film is a hypnotic wonder that delves into the myths, traditions and political attitudes of his native Thailand. Director Apichatpong Weerasethakul Cast Jenjira Pongpas, Banlop Lomnoi, Jarinpattra Rueangram, Thailand 2015, 2h2m, subtitles, 12A: infrequent moderate sex references, moderate violence

The Commune Kollektivet

Friday 29 July - Thursday 4 August Academic couple Erik and Anna decide to set up a Danish commune in bohemian 1970s Copenhagen. Erik embarks on a love affair with a young student and eventually asks her to join him in the commune. What follows is a compelling clash between personal desires and the dream of solidarity and tolerance, as Anna desperately tries to come to terms with this new situation. The Commune is a touching and at times funny look at the frailties of togetherness.

Born to Be Blue

Friday 29 July - Thursday 4 August Jazz legend Chet Baker’s tumultuous life is thrillingly reimagined in this anti-biopic. In the 1950s, Baker was a famous trumpeter renowned as a pioneer of the West Coast Jazz scene. However, by the 1960s his career and personal life were in ruins due to years of drug addiction. In Born to Be Blue, Baker (played by Ethan Hawke) battles against the odds to make a comeback, spurred on in part by a passionate romance with new flame Jane Azuka (Carmen Ejogo). Driven by Hawke’s dazzling performance, Born to Be Blue unfolds with the stylistic brio of great jazz.

Traders

Sweet Bean An

Friday 29 July - Thursday 4 August This violent and blackly humorous film deals with ‘econocide’: the act of committing suicide as a result of bad economic conditions. When Vernon (Game of Thrones’ John Bradley) and Harry (Killian Scott) lose their jobs, Vernon comes up with the unique idea of ‘trading’ – meeting up with someone else in a financial bind, and fighting it out to the death. The winner takes the life savings of the other person. Set in recession-hit Ireland, this acerbic social satire keeps the audience guessing to the very end.

Friday 5 - Sunday 7 August Sentarô, a lonely Japanese baker, hires an eccentric 76-year-old woman to be his new assistant, and soon learns that she has a wonderful recipe for red bean paste. Sentarô’s business begins to thrive and the pair’s relationship develops beyond their mutual appreciation of Japanese confectionary. However, their partnership is threatened when it’s revealed the elderly woman is suffering from a severe illness. A beautiful and delicate fable that is both a feel-good food movie and moving drama.

As the boy’s views and beliefs are shaped by what he witnesses, his behaviour becomes erratic and uncontrollable. With a full orchestral soundtrack by Scott Walker, this adaptation of the 1939 short story by Jean-Paul Sartre is an ambitious and compelling psychodrama.

Wednesday 24 (20.45) & Thursday 25 August (18.30) Ken Loach’s first feature film was a landmark in British social realist filmmaking, and today offers a completely unique snapshot of 1960s London.

Capturing the band during the tour for their 1997 breakthrough OK Computer, Grant Gee’s unique film is both a rare insight into a jaded band, unprepared to take part in the media circus of popular music, and also a companion to their paranoid, world-weary and game-changing album.

STUDIO GHIBLI FOREVER

Howl’s Moving Castle

ADAPTING MISS HIGHSMITH

Described by Graham Greene as the ‘poet of apprehension’, Patricia Highsmith specialised in tightly plotted thrillers exploring the fear, jealousy, guilt and violence bubbling under the surface of outwardly civilised characters. Neurotic men dominate her fiction, though she was equally capable of studies of great sensitivity and tenderness, as evidenced by one of her few forays outside the thriller genre, The Price of Salt (adapted in 2015 as Carol). The artistry and intelligence of her work is widely considered to have transcended the thriller genre and rival that of mainstream literature, and has made for much compelling cinema. This season showcases the very best of them. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available

Strangers on a Train

Sunday 7 August (19.50) Often referred to as Alfred Hitchcock’s return to form after a series of critical and commercial disappointments, and co-written by Raymond Chandler, Strangers on a Train was adapted from Highsmith’s debut novel, published just a couple of months after the author’s 29th birthday in 1950. Robert Walker and Farley Granger are perfectly cast as Bruno and Guy, two young men whose chance meeting on a train journey leads to a supposedly foolproof murder swap. Of course, things don’t go to plan, resulting in one of Hitchcock’s finest psychological thrillers. Showing on 35mm.

Plein Soleil

Sunday 14 August (19.30) In the same year he starred in Luchino Visconti’s family drama Rocco and His Brothers, Alain Delon took on the role of Highsmith’s most famous character, the eponymous, ice-cold sociopath of The Talented Mr Ripley. Although she felt that certain compromises had been made to reach as wide an audience as possible, Highsmith deemed René Clément’s picture – co-written by regular Claude Chabrol collaborator Paul Gégauff – to be ‘very beautiful to the eye and interesting for the intellect’. Director René Clément Cast Alain Delon, Maurice Ronet, Marie Laforêt France/Italy 1960, 1h58m, subtitles, PG

This Sweet Sickness Dites-lui que je l’aime

The American Friend Der amerikanische Freund

Wednesday 17 August (18.10) Highsmith’s seventh novel This Sweet Sickness was first adapted for TV as part of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour in 1962. Fifteen years later came the first film version by director Claude Miller (Garde à vue, The Little Thief). It features a boyish Gérard Depardieu – still fresh from acting opposite Robert De Niro in Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1900 – as David, an accountant hopelessly obsessed with a woman he has carried a torch for since his youth, but who is now married to another man.

Sunday 21 August (19.15) New German Cinema auteur Wim Wenders followed up his acclaimed road movie trilogy (Alice in the Cities, The Wrong Move, Kings of the Road) with an adaptation of Ripley’s Game, the third of Highsmith’s five Ripley novels. Also including elements of Ripley Under Ground, The American Friend sees the protagonist (broodingly played by counter-culture icon Dennis Hopper) involve terminally ill picture-framer Jonathan Zimmerman (Bruno Ganz) in an underworld murder plot.

The Glass Cell Die gläserne Zelle

Wednesday 24 August (18.15) Director Hans W Geissendörfer is perhaps best known as the creator of Lindenstrasse, Germany’s longestrunning soap opera. In 1978, he adapted Highsmith’s The Glass Cell, shifting the action to Frankfurt. Phillip (Helmut Griem) is an architect released from prison after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit. Struggling to find work, and troubled by his wife’s relationship with his lawyer, he soon finds that – like many a Highsmithian protagonist – his life is tumbling dangerously out of control.

The Talented Mr Ripley

Sunday 28 August (19.15) After the Oscar-laden success of his Michael Ondaatje adaptation The English Patient, Anglo-Italian filmmaker Anthony Minghella tackled a very different literary source – the book that first introduced the character of Tom Ripley (‘I loved the tone of the novel’, he said, ‘airless, alienated, uncomfortable, claustrophobic, lonely and also quite harsh’). Casting Matt Damon as the protagonist opposite Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, Minghella sought to be more faithful to the original text than Clément’s Plein Soleil, a film he nonetheless keenly admired. Director Anthony Minghella Cast Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, USA 1999, 2h19m, 15

Deep Water

Eaux profondes Wednesday 31 August (18.10) Middle-aged perfumer Vic Allen (Jean-Louis Trintignant) lives on the island of Jersey with his young wife Mélanie (Isabelle Huppert) and their daughter Marion (Sandrine Kljajic). Mélanie embarks on a string of extra-marital flirtations, all with her husband’s apparent approval, but mild-mannered, chess-playing Vic soon has murder on his mind. Directed by Michel Deville (Death in a French Garden, La lectrice), this version of Highsmith’s 1957 novel has a dark humour poised mischievously between Luis Buñuel and Claude Chabrol.

Local Hero

Friday 29 (15.35) & Saturday 30 July (15.30) Writer/director Bill Forsyth’s third feature is one of the funniest culture-clash comedies in cinema history. Described by its maker as Apocalypse Now meets Brigadoon, Local Hero both celebrates and subverts a laundry list of Scottish stereotypes. When a materialistic American corporate executive arrives in Scotland with the aim of turning a huge stretch of unspoilt northern coastline into a gigantic petrochemical refinery, the economics of oil go head to head against the enchantment of Highland culture and mythology.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR FORSYTH

Bill Forsyth turns 70 on 29 July, and that’s all the reason we need to bring three of his best-loved cinema classics back to the big screen. A master of character, comedy and filmic invention, Forsyth is one of Scotland’s greatest cinematic creators and these films remain truly unmissable.

CROSSING THE LINE

No Home Movie

Beatrice Gibson: Cadenza

Sunday 3 July (19.45) This programme explores abstraction as subject and form, looking at music, money, numbers and narrative through the frame of experimental cinema. Curated by internationally renowned and award winning artist Beatrice Gibson, the programme features Gibson’s latest films F For Fibonacci and Crippled Symmetries alongside work by Tony Conrad, Laida Lertxundi and Mary Helena Clark. With playful yet studied musings on the nature of (and interplay between) rhythm, maths and abstraction, Cadenza serves to investigate Gibson’s practice and place it in a wider context.

Sunday 7 (19.30) & Monday 8 August (18.15) Pioneering filmmaker Chantal Akerman’s final film is an intimate video essay that focuses on her relationship with her mother Natalia, a Holocaust survivor. Akerman returned to the subject of her mother throughout her filmography and No Home Movie can be understood both as a response to News From Home (1977), and as a continuation of its themes of personal and familial disconnection. A meditation on death and the fragility of memory, this is a moving exploration of how and what we remember. Director Chantal Akerman Belgium/France 2015, 1h55m, subtitles, CTBC

Shot against the sublime beauty of the Moroccan landscape, and inspired by Paul Bowles’ short story ‘A Distant Episode’, The Sky Trembles… mixes documentary, fiction, and fable. It opens with Spanish filmmaker Oliver Laxe directing a complex and ambitious project on location in the Atlas Mountains. However, as Laxe abandons his set and ventures deeper into the realm of the unknown, it soon becomes clear that nothing is as it seems. Director Ben Rivers Cast Oliver Laxe UK 2015, 1h40m, subtitles, 12A: infrequent strong language, moderate threat, gory images
