10 Cloverfield Lane

Sun 17 – Fri 22 Apr This film was made under the radar and emerged with a trailer only in January. It shares some link with JJ Abrams other secrecy cloaked film Cloverfield. How that connection is made is still to be seen. That said this started life as a script that garnered attention on the hit list of most promising projects back in 2012. Early word is that this is a film not to be ignored. A woman discovers the horrifying truth about the outside world while living in an underground shelter with two men. Monsters come in many forms. 105m Dir Dan Trachtenberg Cast Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman

Fri 29 Apr – Thu 12 May In EYE IN THE SKY, Helen Mirren plays Colonel Katherine Powell, a UK officer tracking a British-citizen-turnedterrorist in Kenya with the help of US drone surveillance. When new information suddenly transforms this observe-and-capture action into something much more dangerous and pressing, Mirren is the woman who must step up to make the hard decisions. As a modern military leader, Powell is required to negotiate not only the hightech matrix of directing drone strikes being flown by pilots stationed in Nevada, but also the complicated legal, political, and public relations repercussions of her operation. 102m Dir Gavin Hood Cast Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman

Eddie the Eagle Fri 8 – Thu 21 Apr

Parent and Baby Screening Mon 25 1030 From the Director of Sunshine on Leith comes the story of Eddie “the Eagle” Edwards. Cut from the Olympic ski team, British athlete Michael “Eddie” Edwards travels to Germany to test his skills at ski jumping. Fate leads him to Bronson Peary, a former ski jumper who now works as a snowplow driver. Impressed by Edwards’ spirit and determination, Peary agrees to train the young underdog. Despite an entire nation counting him out, Eddie’s never-say-die attitude takes him all the way to a historic and improbable showing at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. 106m Dexter Fletcher Cast Taron Edgerton Hugh Jackman

Zootopolis

Fri 8 – Thu 24 Apr With Great characters and great animation this is a sassy Pixar classic for the whole family. From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case. Unfortunately, that means working with Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a wily fox who makes her job even harder.

The Huntsman: Winter’s War

High Rise

When Freya (Emily Blunt), a young queen who can freeze her enemies in ice, learns of the demise of her sister, the evil Ravenna (Charlize Theron), she summons her soldiers to recover the Magic Mirror. After resurrecting Ravenna, the two wicked sisters amass a seemingly indestructible army that threatens the kingdom.

This played to sell out crowds at the London and more recently Glasgow Film festival. There’s almost nothing Ben Wheatley gets wrong in High-Rise, his coolly immaculate film of the JG Ballard sciencefiction classic. In 1975, Ballard began with one of the great first lines in the genre: “Later, as he sat on his balcony eating the dog, Dr. Robert Laing reflected on the unusual events that had taken place within this huge apartment building during the previous three months.” Challenging cinema, thought provoking and shocking.

Fri 6 – Tue 10 May

Mon 25 – Thu 28 Apr

Running Time TBC Dir Cedric Nicolas-Troyan Cast Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain

112m Dir Ben Wheatly Cast Tom Hiddleston Jeremy Irons

Jane Got a Gun

Truth

Panic strikes Jane Hammond (Natalie Portman) when her outlaw husband John returns to their farm with bullet wounds. Expecting the worst, she brings her young daughter to safety and travels to the home of Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton), a boozing ex-lover who may be her only hope. With Dan now on her side, Jane prepares for a showdown with the vengeful John Bishop and his gang of thugs. Looking to settle an old score, Bishop must now contend with the gun-toting Jane and her new partner.

Truth’s terrific cast and compelling message are often enough to overcome its occasionally simplistic dramatisation of a nuanced real-life tale. On the morning of September 9, 2004, veteran CBS News producer MARY MAPES (Cate Blanchett) believed she had every reason to feel proud of a broadcast journalism job well done. By the end of the day, Mapes, CBS News, and the venerable CBS News anchor DAN RATHER (Robert Redford) would be under harsh scrutiny.

Disorder

Au revoir les enfants

Vincent, a French Special Forces soldier just back from Afghanistan, is suffering from a posttraumatic stress disorder. He is hired to ensure the security of Jessie, the wife of a rich Lebanese businessman at their luxurious villa. As he starts experiencing a strange fascination for the woman he has to protect, Vincent increasingly seems to fall into paranoia. But what if he is right, and the danger is very real indeed? English Subtitles

In 1943, Julien (Gaspard Manesse) is a student at a French boarding school. When three new students arrive, including Jean Bonnett (Raphael Fejto), Julien believes they are no different from the other boys. What Julien doesn’t know is that the boys are actually Jews who are evading capture by the Nazis. While Julien doesn’t care for Jean at first, the boys develop a tight bond -- while the head of the school, Père Jean (Philippe Morier-Genoud), works to protect the boys from the Holocaust.

The Grump

Anomalisa

For those of you that embrace the 100 year old man who climbed out of the window comes another character that may charm and amuse. The Grump is a man from the past. A man who knows that everything used to be so much better in the old days. Pretty much everything that’s been done after 1953 has always managed to ruin The Grump’s day. Our story unfolds as The Grump takes a fall from his basement steps, hurting his ankle. He has to spend a weekend in Helsinki to attend physiotherapy. And you know when the grump is having a bad day everyone else is going to have a bad day too. Finnish Humour with English Subtitles

Having proved a sell out hit closing the Glasgow film festival this intriguing film comes to the Birks. Anomalisa marks another brilliant and utterly distinctive highlight in Charlie Kaufman’s filmography, and a thought-provoking treat for fans of introspective cinema. Critically acclaimed and quite unique. This Story told with stop motion puppetry tells the story of An inspirational speaker (David Thewlis) who becomes reinvigorated after meeting a lively woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who shakes up his mundane existence.

Met Live: Roberto Devereux

Met Live: Elektra

Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky takes on the extraordinary challenge of singing all three of Donizetti’s Tudor queen operas in the course of a single season, a rare feat made famous by Beverly Sills—and not attempted on a New York stage since. In this climactic opera of the trilogy, she plays Queen Elizabeth I, forced to sign the death warrant of the nobleman she loves, Roberto Devereux.

The genius director Patrice Chéreau (From the House of the Dead)didn’t live to see his great Elektra production, previously presented in Aix and Milan, make it to the stage of the Met. But his overpowering vision lives on with soprano Nina Stemme—unmatched today in the heroic female roles of Strauss and Wagner—who portrays Elektra’s primal quest for vengeance for the murder of her father, Agamemnon.

The great Arthur Miller confronts the American dream in this dark and passionate tale. In Brooklyn, longshoreman Eddie Carbone welcomes his Sicilian cousins to the land of freedom. But when one of them falls for his beautiful niece, they discover that freedom comes at a price. Eddie’s jealous mistrust exposes a deep, unspeakable secret – one that drives him to commit the ultimate betrayal.
