Love At The MoviesSay AnythingFri 14 February, 20:30Lloyd (John Cusack) is into kick-boxing and doesn't knowwhat he wants in life. Diane (Ione Skye) is the smartest girlin school and has just been awarded a scholarship inEngland. Hardly a match made in heaven. But as Lloydwins Diane over, a sweet romance begins, until Diane'sfather (John Mahoney) puts pressure on her and she callstime on their relationship. What follows is one of the mosticonic scenes in film history – Lloyd playing Peter Gabriel’sIn Your Eyes on his boombox outside Diane’s bedroomwindow. The witty and funny script features some touchingmoments. Cusack is a triumph in the role, it’s impossiblenot to root for him to get his girl. Make someone’sValentine’s Day and take them to see this.

The original title translates as The SkyOver Berlin, and it is an imaginative portrait of the city as seen through the eyesof two angels. Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander) are angels whowatch over Berlin, intimately acquainted with the history of the city and thethoughts of its citizens. Their presence is brilliantly captured by veterancinematographer Henri Alekan, whose fluid camera tracks and glides inappropriately mysterious ways as the angels silently observe and comfort thetroubled mortals. The angels discover the simple pleasures of physical existence,with Damiel becoming fully human through his love for Marion (Solveig Dommartin),a beautiful trapeze artist who performs her own flying act in a travelling circus.There's also the vivid presence of American screen icon Peter Falk, playing anex-angel who's making a movie about Germany's Nazi past.Dir: Wim WendersWest Germany / France 1987 / Digital / German with English subtitles / PG16 www.dca.org.uk
