Introduction3THE <strong>SECRET</strong> IN THEIR EYES STEVE MCQUEEN: BULLITTLONDON RIVER FIVE EASY PIECES’Why do you have to be a ... Heartbreaker?’There’s something mighty annoying that happens in our office. It’s been happening for years. When a film gets in our programme whose title is thesame or at least suggestive of a popular song, someone in the office ends up whistling, humming, or even singing it. Then it spreads to others, as is theinsidious nature of these things. This month we have been driven insane by renditions, at varying levels of competence, of Dionne Warwick’s BeeGees-penned hit from the 80s, ‘Heartbreaker’. You know the one. Mind you, if you think that’s bad, imagine what it was like when we showed La VieEn Rose, as naeb’dy tries to sing that without the requisite Piaf impersonation. So, I’ve decided, no more films that remind anyone of songs – thatat least is within my control. It’ll work fine until I fancy screening Blue Velvet. Or Singin’ in the Rain. Or Goldfinger. Or In The Mood For Love...Our big film this month is Juan José Campanella’s brilliant The Secret in Their Eyes. We’ve devoted a lot of screen time to this magnificent film, whichshould be seen as a measure of our belief in it. Please don’t cause me to have to question my judgement... François Ozon makes a welcome returnto our screens (and to making good films!) with The Refuge (Le refuge), and the very moving London River features a great performance by BrendaBlethyn as a woman who can’t find her daughter following the 7/7 terrorist attacks.Collaboration is a bit of a watchword for August, combining forces, as we are, variously, with the <strong>Edinburgh</strong> International Book Festival, theMediaGuardian <strong>Edinburgh</strong> International Television Festival, <strong>Edinburgh</strong> Interactive, Beyond Borders, Dance Base, the Royal Botanic Gardens and theGlasgow Film Festival for a host of screenings and special events which will involve, among others, Margaret Atwood and Shane Meadows.The ‘King of Cool’, Steve McQueen, would have been 80 this year, so it seemed like a good time to put together a quick ‘Six of the Best’ of hismovies; and the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival On Tour is back for another year, celebrating the best in new queer cinema from around theworld.We’ve some awesome restorations/re-releases too this month, two from Cavalcanti (Went the Day Well? and They Made Me a Fugitive), EricRohmer’s masterpiece, My Night With Maud (Ma nuit chez Maud), Bob Rafelson’s Jack-Nicholson-in-his-prime-starring Five Easy Pieces [”I wantyou to hold it between your knees!” - Ed.], Jean-Luc Godard’s seminal Breathless (A bout de souffle) and a full digital restoration of Luchino Visconti’smasterwork, The Leopard (Il Gattopardo).And, you know what, you can book for every one of these films, either online or by phone, completely free of any booking fee. I think we may bethe only cinema in town where you can do that...Rod White, Head of Programming
4 New releasesBEAUTIFUL KATELONDON RIVERTHE <strong>SECRET</strong> IN THEIR EYESNEWRELEASEBeautiful KateShowing until Thu 12 AugustRachel Ward • Australia 2009 • 1h41m • 35mm15 – Contains very strong language and strong sexCast: Ben Mendelsohn, Bryan Brown, Rachel Griffiths, SophieLowe, Scott O’Donnell.For her feature film debut as writer/director, actor RachelWard (most famous for 1980s TV mini-series The ThornBirds) has created a dark, gothic drama about familyconflict and taboo relationships.Ben Mendelsohn plays Ned, who is returning to his familyhome after a 20-year absence to see his dying father Bruce(Bryan Brown), who he still blames for the suicide of hisolder brother. It’s a classic Prodigal Son narrative, mademurkier once we learn about Ned’s twin sister Kate, whoalso died young.Mendelsohn, Brown and Rachel Griffiths (playing Ned’sother sister) are excellent but the highlights of BeautifulKate are the performances in the flashback sequencesby newcomers Scott O’Donnell as 16-year-old Ned andSophie Lowe as Kate. Overall it’s an atmospheric, visuallystriking and moving piece of cinema.NEWRELEASELondon RiverFri 6 to Thu 12 AugRachid Bouchareb • UK/France/Algeria 2009 • 1h28m • 35mmEnglish, French and Arabic with English subtitles12A – Contains brief moderate injury detail and emotionally intensescenesCast: Brenda Blethyn, Sotigui Kouyaté, Francis Magee, SamiBouajila, Roschdy Zem.After his commanding, polemical reinvention of the WorldWar II epic in Days of Glory, Rachid Bouchareb takes upa smaller canvas with this spare, timely drama, set againstthe background of the July 2005 London bomb attacks.In Guernsey, widowed Elizabeth (Brenda Blethyn) hearsthe news about the bombs and starts to worry about herdaughter Jane, currently studying in the city. Meanwhile,Ousmane (Sotigui Kouyaté), an elderly African foresterworking in France, sets out to find his long-estranged sonAli. As both characters arrive in the North London area,and make inquiries in different directions, it can’t be longbefore they meet…Dramatically spare, Bouchareb’s film avoids the clichésabout cultural misunderstanding that are so prevalent inthe current spate of globally-themed films about linkeddestinies. Blethyn offers her strongest lead performancesince Secrets and Lies, and veteran Malian actor Kouyatéproves an immensely commanding presence. With itsmatter-of-fact London locations, the film captures the cityas non-British directors so often do best, with Boucharebpersuasively and movingly channeling downbeat UKrealism in a Loachian vein.NEWRELEASEThe Secret in Their EyesEl secreto de sus ojosFri 13 Aug to Thu 9 SepJuan José Campanella • Argentina/Spain 2009 • 2h9mDigital projection • Spanish with English subtitles18 – Contains one scene of sexual violence and brief strong nudityCast: Soledad Villamil, Ricardo Darín, Carla Quevedo, Pablo Rago,Javier Godino.A recently retired prosecutor revisits the unsolved rapeand murder of a Buenos Aires woman from 30 yearsearlier, only to discover that the dark crime and its evendarker consequences have become deeply intertwinedwith his own life... Directed by Juan José Campanella andshowcasing two of Argentina’s biggest stars in the leadroles, this riveting thriller spiked with witty dialogue andpoignant romance is a film intensely focused on the searchfor justice and the centrality of memory. Receiving ravereviews and awards at several Film Festivals, it was alsothe surprise (though thoroughly deserving) winner of thisyear’s Oscar® for Best Foreign Language Film, beating offstiff competition from The White Ribbon and A Prophet.Think The Lives of Others as directed by Talk to Her/Volverera Pedro Almodóvar and you’ll be not a million miles awayfrom the look, feel and sheer classiness of this intenselyinvolving, deeply satisfying, grown-up drama.

Because businessis slow, they go against their principles to break up onlyunhappy couples, and agree to work for Monsieur VanDer Bercq. Their mission seems simple: they have oneweek to stop Van Der Bercq’s daughter Juliette (Paradis)from marrying the man she is madly in love with. But thisquestionable mission becomes hazardous for Alex, as heenters the world of the rich, beautiful and self-assuredJuliette and her seemingly perfect boyfriend, Jonathan.<strong>Filmhouse</strong> and the Institut Français d’Ecosse are offeringyou the opportunity to watch a French film and attend aFrench lesson for only £7.50! The lesson, for beginners,intermediate and advanced students will follow the 6.00pmscreening of Heartbreaker on Wednesday 11 August andwill be based on the film’s language and culturalcontent.

In search of a place to restart his life,Greenberg tries to reconnect with old friends includinghis former bandmate Ivan (Rhys Ifans). But old friendsaren’t necessarily still best friends, and Greenberg soonfinds himself spending more and more time with hisbrother’s personal assistant Florence (Greta Gerwig), anaspiring singer and also something of a lost soul. DespiteGreenberg’s best attempts not to be drawn in, the twomanage to forge a connection, and Greenberg realises hemay at last have found a reason to be happy.Bittersweet and beautifully realised, harsh but humane,Greenberg is a self-consciously small film that neverthelessleaves an indelible mark.Gainsbourg Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque)Fri 27 Aug to Thu 2 SepJoann Sfar • France/USA 2010 • 2h15m • 35mmFrench with English subtitles15 – Contains strong sex references and sexualised nudityCast: Eric Elmosnino, Lucy Gordon, Laetitia Casta, Doug Jones.Best known in this country for ‘Je t’aime . . . moi non plus’,his racy duet with then-lover Jane Birkin, singer/songwriterSerge Gainsbourg packed a lot of life into 62 years. Asmuch provocateur as artist, he delighted in defyingexpectations, so it is only appropriate that this offbeatbiopic should do the same. In keeping with a subject whorode the waves of the pop charts, comic book artist–turnedfilmmakerJoann Sfar takes a greatest-hits approach toGainsbourg’s life, concentrating on his early years as aJewish child in Nazi-occupied France, his transition frompainter to jazz musician to pop superstar, his romances withthe likes of Birkin and Brigitte Bardot, his many scandalsand the behind-the-scenes stories of some of his mostfamous songs, including the Bardot hits ‘Bonnie and Clyde’and ‘Comic Strip’. In spot-on casting, Kacey Mottet Kleincontributes a vivacious turn as Lucien, the precocious,irrepressible boy who would grow up to be SergeGainsbourg, while Eric Elmosnino is a dead ringer in looksand mannerisms for the adult Serge. Sfar’s own comic-bookroots are evident in some of the drama’s quirkier elements,particularly ‘La Gueule’ (or ‘ugly face’), a grotesque alterego who accompanies Gainsbourg through life. Thisimaginative, exuberant and affectionate take on the man,his music and his times is a treasure trove for his fans and awitty introduction for anyone unfamiliar with his legend.
8Restored classicsWENT THE DAY WELL?THEY MADE ME A FUGITIVETHE LEOPARDRESTOREDCLASSIC RESTOREDCLASSIC RESTOREDCLASSICSWent the Day Well?Fri 20 to Mon 23 AugAlberto Cavalcanti • UK 1942 • 1h34m • 35mmPG – Contains strong language and sexualised nudityCast: Leslie Banks, C V France, Valerie Taylor, Marie Lohr, BasilSydney.Alberto Cavalcanti’s wartime film, based on a story byGraham Greene, still unsettles, even shocks, with itssubversive, almost surreal spectacle of a cosy Englishvillage under Nazi attack in the Second World War.Disguised as British soldiers, the invading Germansinsinuate themselves into a pretty village inhabited byBritish character players so familiar to wartime audiencesthat they must have seemed like family members. Alwaysthe mischievous foreign observer, Cavalcanti kicks awaytheir usual charm, letting them kill and be killed in a violentbattle for their green, pleasant land. Critics’ reactions atthe time were mixed, but now we can properly relish thisvisionary film, as jolting and quizzical about British life asanything by Powell and Pressburger.The first of two restored Alberto Cavalcanti films screeningthis month – see also They Made Me a Fugitive (right).They Made Me a FugitiveWed 25 & Thu 26 AugAlberto Cavalcanti • UK 1947 • 1h41m • 35mmPG – Contains moderate violence and threatCast: Sally Gray, Trevor Howard, Griffith Jones, René Ray, MaryMerrall.This dark thriller caused some anguish on release for itstoughness and the successful depiction of the underbellyof post-war London life. Director Alberto Cavalcantiwas plainly influenced by US noir cinema and by Frenchpoetic realism, and is wonderfully aided by atmosphericcamerawork from Otto Heller (who was to go on to shootThe Queen of Spades and Peeping Tom) and the gutsyscreenplay. The film’s final claim to greatness stems fromthe complexity Trevor Howard brings to the role of Clem,the RAF officer who gets into crooked company but rejectsit when drugs are involved, only to be framed. It becomesa story of retribution and love that is intelligent and adultbeyond the dreams of current British gangster cinema.The second of two restored Alberto Cavalcanti filmsscreening this month – see also Went the Day Well? (left).The Leopard Il GattopardoFri 27 Aug to Thu 2 SepLuchino Visconti • Italy/France 1963 • 3h8m • Digital projectionItalian with English subtitlesPG – Contains some mild language, sex references and war violenceCast: Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon, Paola Stoppa.1860s Sicily, where revolution is underway to unite Italyas a republic. When his penniless nephew (Alain Delon)marries Angelica (Claudia Cardinale), the daughter ofa merchant, the Prince of Salina (Burt Lancaster in awonderfully nuanced performance) reflects sadly on thedeath of the aristocratic world and the rise of the crassbourgeoisie. With superb attention to detail, Visconti takesus right back to the place and time, filling each scene withauthentic touches and drawing out the script’s subtleties.Breathless A bout de souffleMon 30 Aug to Wed 1 SepJean-Luc Godard • France 1960 • 1h30m • Digital projectionFrench and English with English subtitles • PGCast: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean Seberg, Daniel Boulanger.The 50th anniversary rerelease of Godard’s Breathless isanother opportunity to marvel at the sheer joie de vivreof this film, at its pure, raw, chaotic newness – still freshafter all this time. Jean-Paul Belmondo is the smoulderingtough guy who has killed a cop; Jean Seberg is thegamine American would-be journalist and novelist whois hanging out with this man, just to see if she is really inlove. Belmondo and Seberg’s aimless, languorous, eroticconversation in her apartment is a glorious riff; in fact thewhole movie is one continuous, inspired cine-jazz solo.

Perhaps the most overlooked film in theMcQueen canon and one for which many have claimed heshould have won an Oscar. There is much fun to be had incomparing the contrasting styles of minimalist McQueenand Method advocate Dustin Hoffman, but this remainsMcQueen’s finest example of character work.Love with the Proper StrangerThu 19 Aug at 6.15pmRobert Mulligan • USA 1963 • 1h40m • 35mm • 18Cast: Steve McQueen, Natalie Wood, Edie Adams, Anne Hegira.McQueen’s cocksure jazz musician can’t remember hisone-night stand with pregnant shop girl Natalie Wood, buthe reluctantly agrees to pay for an illegal termination.

But it’sCrown’s tentative stalking of icy insurance investigatorVicki Anderson (Dunaway) that gives this film its heat, witha chess match presenting a steamy, intellectual form ofsubtle seduction at its best. Pure 60s magic.Hell is for HeroesThu 2 Sep at 6.15pmDon Siegel • USA 1962 • 1h30m • 35mm • 12Cast: Steve McQueen, Bobby Darin, Fess Parker, Harry Guardino,James Coburn.A war film is a war film is a war film... except that DonSiegel, brought into the project at the last moment whenSteve McQueen refused to work with the scheduleddirector, toughened the standard war-is-hell screenplayinto an extraordinary study of psychopathology. He centreseverything squarely on the McQueen character (one ofhis best performances, as a human war machine), andemphasises the tensions within the American platoonrather than the conflict with the offscreen Germans. Theending, which stresses the enormous human cost of a smalltactical gain, is remarkably powerful, precisely becauseit’s the first time that Siegel allows his audience anyperspective on what they’ve been seeing.

Government supportershave occupied many white-owned farms, with violenceflaring frequently, and a number of white farmers andtheir black workers have been killed. Though Mugabeproposed that the land would be distributed among thepoorer black population, evidence suggests most hasbeen put in the hands of government officials and cronies.White farmer Michael Campbell faced intimidation andaggression, but chose to put up a fight for his land, takingthe unprecedented step of challenging Mugabe beforethe South African Development Community’s internationalcourt, charging him and his government with racialdiscrimination and of violations of Human Rights. Filmedcovertly in a country where a press ban exists, Mugabeand the White African provides a valuable, unsettlinginsight into the reality of life under Mugabe’s dictatorship,following Campbell and his family on their brave campaign,as they fight for the right to live peacefully.We are hopeful that this screening will be followed by aQ&A with the film’s directors, Lucy Bailey and AndrewThompson.Contemporary PalestinianDocumentariesSat 21 Aug at 4.45pm1h37m • 12ANahed Awwad, an independent filmmaker, lives in Ramallah/Palestine.

In The Fourth Room we meet Abu Jameel, theowner of a small stationery shop in Ramallah, where nothinghas changed since the fifties.

FiveMinutes from Home portrays the Jerusalem airport, now lyingabandoned in an area that has been occupied by Israeli troopssince 1967.
