René Clément’s striking study
of a glamorous and complex
psychopath with a careermaking
star turn from a young, amazingly
beautiful and ultracool Alain
Delon. Based on a novel by
Patricia Highsmith, this is a taut,
expertly crafted thriller in which
Delon stars as Ripley, an emissary
sent by a wealthy American
industrialist to save his playboy

of decadence. Insinuating himself
into Greenleaf's life, Ripley playfully
practises his signature and

The UK's most trusted and
outspoken film critic Mark
Kermode returns to the Picture
House’s stage with his unique
blend of ranting and analysis.
For decades, the backbone of
movie reviewing has been the
hatchet job: the entertaining
trashing of a film by professional
reviewers who are seen by
some as cynical snobs. Now,
with the arrival of the internet,
have the critics themselves
fallen under the axe? And
what kind of films would we
have if we listened to what the
audience thinks it wants? Expect
trenchant opinion, hilarious
autobiographical anecdotes,
passionate personal prejudices,
entertaining diversions and
scathing sardonic humour.

Dir: John Boorman Dur: 92mins Starring: Lee Marvin, Angie
Dickinson, Keenan Wynn US, 1967
Though less successful at the
box office than BONNIE & CLYDE
or EASY RIDER, John Boorman’s
violent and disorientating POINT
BLANK still played a big part in
ushering in a new era of film
production in Hollywood in the
late 60s. Strongly influenced
by European art-cinema, this
brutal crime drama is saturated
with weird avant-garde stylistic
techniques like its fractured,
staccato and dream like
narrative and distinctive use of
cinematic space. Even after all
this time Boorman’s film remains
as fresh and unique today as
it was when it first burst onto
cinema screens in 1967.

We see recording sessions,

most revealingly, the group

a ludicrous amount of money
to help the band kiss and make
up). Absorbing, hilarious and
hugely entertaining even if
you’re not a fan.

Gomersall US, 2013
Dir: Gilles Bourdos
Dur: 112mins Starring: Michel Bouquet, Christa
Theret,Vincent Rottiers French and italian with English subtitles
FR, 2012
The first film since GRIZZLY MAN
to show how nature can take
revenge on humanity when
pushed to its limits, BLACKFISH
tells the story of Tilikum, a
performing orca that killed
several people while in captivity.
Based on real events and on
the writing of his great-grandson
Jacques, RENOIR is a tenderly
observed yet powerful study
of family strife, centred on the
great artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir
during the early days of WW1.
Director-producer
Cowperthwaite compiles
shocking footage and
emotional interviews to explore
orcas’ extraordinary nature, their
cruel treatment in captivity, the
lives and losses of the trainers,
and the pressures brought to
bear by the multibillion-dollar
sea park industry. The result is a
tautly structured psychological
thriller that challenges us to
consider our relationship
with nature.
Recently widowed and seriously
arthritic, 74-year-old Renoir Snr
is rejuvenated by the arrival
of Andrée, a luminous young
model who becomes his muse.
But when his favoured son Jean
returns wounded from the front
to recuperate at their home
on the Côte d’Azur, he too
falls for Andrée. With both men
incapacitated, either by age or
by injury, an unlikely romantic
tussle ensues.

In PARADISE: FAITH Ulrich Seidle
explores what it means to bear
the cross. For Anna Maria, an
X-ray technician, paradise lies
with Jesus. She devotes her
vacation to missionary work, so
that Austria may be brought
back to the path of virtue. On
her daily pilgrimage through
Vienna, she goes from door to
door, carrying a foot high statue
of the Virgin Mary. One day, after
years of absence, her husband,
an Egyptian Muslim confined
to a wheelchair, comes home.
Hymns and prayers are now
joined by fighting. PARADISE:
FAITH recounts the stations of
the cross of a marriage and the
longing for love.

Dur: 98 mins plus Q&A
Documentary Feat: Stephen
Hook, UK/DE, 2013
Modern British dairy farms
must get bigger and bigger or
go under, but farmer Stephen
Hook decides to buck the
trend. In an attempt to save his
family farm, he turns his back
on the cost-cutting dairies
and supermarkets, choosing
instead to stay small and
maintain his close relationship
with his herd. However, his
plans to save the farm do not
always go down well with his
55 spirited cows. The result is a
laugh-out-loud, heartwarming
portrait of the incredible bonds
between humans, animals
and the countryside in a fastdisappearing England.

Dur: 101mins
Starring: Dominic Cooper, Emily
Browning, Dan Stevens
US, 2013
Coming-of-age movies are very
much the coming thing, but
THE WAY, WAY BACK particularly
distinguishes itself in having top
scriptwriters Faxon and Nash
(THE DESCENDANTS) taking a
turn at the helm.
Under the looming shadow
of World War One, a group of
free-spirited artists known as the
Lamorna Group settled in west
Cornwall. They included Alfred
‘A. J.’ Munnings, an impressively
talented firebrand who later
became president of the Royal
Academy.
During a vacation in a Northeast
beach town, a lonely teenage
boy, Duncan, comes into his own
over the course of a summer
through an unlikely friendship
with the manager of a local
water park. Duncan’s mother,
Pam, alienates her young son
through her determined efforts
to make her relationship work
with her carousing boyfriend
whose disingenuous attempts to
build a family are immediately
transparent to Duncan.
Based on Jonathan Smith’s
novel and actual events,
SUMMER IN FEBRUARY focuses on
the fateful love triangle between
Munnings, the upper-class
bohemian Florence CarterWood, and the Lamorna Estate’s
land agent, Gilbert Evans. The
affair unsettled the laissez-faire
dynamic of the artists’ colony,
and Menaul’s film brilliantly
captures both their passions
and the social mores of the time.

Dir: Laurent Cantet
Dur: 143mins Starring: Raven Adamson, Katie
Coseni, Madeleine Bisson FR, 2012
The third film in Seidle’s PARADISE
trilogy tells the story of Melanie,
an overweight 13-year-old, and
her first love. While her mother,
Teresa, travels to Kenya and
her aunt does missionary work
for Jesus Christ, the teenager
spends her summer vacation
with other teens in a strictly
run diet camp in the Austrian
countryside. Between sports
activities and nutritional
counselling, pillow fights and
her first cigarette, she falls in love
with the camp director, a doctor
40 years her senior whom she
loves with the unconditionality of
first love.
One part BADLANDS, two parts
THELMA & LOUISE, Laurent Cantet
(Palme d’Or winner THE CLASS)
takes another cast of amazingly
talented unknowns for this
girl-gang saga set in ’50s smalltown America based on Joyce
Carol Oates’ celebrated novel.
Ostracised for their perceived
bolshiness by their chauvinistic
classmates, the secret Foxfire
society soon segues into lawbreaking and eventually goes
on the lam – with inevitably
tragic consequences. Raven
Adamson as leader Legs is an
extraordinary combination of
toughness, recklessness and
vulnerability, and Cantet’s script,
unflashy direction and muted
cinematography give the film a
gritty realism that only enhances
its suspense.

In the midst of Britain’s ‘70s
punk revolution and after a
momentous TV appearance
where five and a half million
viewers watched him land
painfully on his testicles, Otway
was high in the charts. Too bad
his next Hit was 25 years later.
“[OTWAY THE MOVIE] is
fantastically engaging, the
very definition of feelgood filmmaking.” Andrew Pulver, THE GUARDIAN

Ain't Them Bodies Saints
From Fri 13th Sep
TBC
Dir: David Lowery Dur: TBC
Starring: Rooney Mara, Casey
Affleck, Ben Foster
US, 2013
Brought to life with exquisite
detail and rich cinematography,
the gritty landscape of
1970s Texas Hill Country is
the backdrop for this mooddrenched collision of love and
crime. After his pregnant wife
makes one false move during
a bloody shootout, a bank
robber faces a 25-year sentence
that destroys his dreams of a
family life. Shot through with the
yearning and melancholy of a
folk ballad, Lowery’s directorial
breakthrough— a special Critics’
Week selection at Cannes—
extends the Bonnie and Clyde
tradition with its breath-taking
meditation on the fragility and
transience of love.

When the Dragon
Swallowed the Sun
14th, 15th and 18th Sep
Dir: Dirk Simon
Dur: 114mins Documentary feat: Youdon
Aukatsang, Bhusang, Archbishop
Desmond Tutu, English and
Tibetan with English subtitles. US, 2010
In the run-up to the Beijing
Olympics, much of the world’s
attention was focused on
the plight of the Tibetan
people and their oppression
at the hands of the Chinese
government. Documentarian
Simon’s passionately argued but
balanced film hinges largely on
2008’s pro-Tibet demonstrations
in San Francisco, where among
others Richard Gere and
Archbishop Desmond Tutu rallied
the masses. But there is also
much archive footage of the
Tibetan landscape and people,
plus interviews with Samdhong
Rinpoche, the Prime Minister of
the Tibetan government in exile
and of course the Dalai Lama.
Rush
From Fri 20th Sep

Dir: Ron Howard
Dur: 122 mins
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Daniel
Brühl,Olivia Wilde, Jamie Sives
US/DE/UK, 2013
FROST/NIXON’s director and
scriptwriter, Ron Howard and
Peter Morgan, now team up for
a very different battle of wills:
the intense rivalry between
legendary Formula One drivers
James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Hunt
was very much the charismatic
English playboy, Lauda the nononsense, Austrian perfectionist.
When leading the 1976 World
Championship, Lauda suffered
severe burns in a horrific crash at
the German Grand Prix, thereby
apparently handing Hunt the
series. RUSH features stunning
racing footage and Hemsworth
(AVENGERS ASSEMBLE) and Brühl
(GOODBYE LENIN) entertainingly
and convincingly portray the two
leads’ diametrically opposed
lifestyles and characters.

Blue Jasmine
From Fri 27th Sep
TBC
Dir: Rob Epstein,Jeffrey Friedman
Dur: 93 mins Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Peter
Sarsgaard, Juno Temple
US, 2013
Dir: Woody Allen
Dur: 98mins TBC
Starring: Cate Blanchett, Alec
Baldwin, Sally Hawkins
US, 2013
1972’s DEEP THROAT brought
‘adult’ movies a little more into
the mainstream, turning Floridian
go-go dancer Linda Boreman
into a briefly flickering star and
making $100 million-plus for the
film’s allegedly Mafioso backers.
After his recent European
excursions, the ever-prolific
Woody Allen returns home with
arguably a companion piece
to such irony-tinged dramas
as ALICE and HUSBANDS AND
WIVES. Cate Blanchett shines as
the eponymous Jasmine, whose
glitzy New York life abruptly ends
with her husband’s suicide
following the collapse of his
financial empire.
Little but drugs, abuse and
heartache followed for Boreman,
most of it at the hands of her
seedy manager/lover, Chuck
Traynor – until she finally took
control of her life. In this periodperfect biopic, directing partners
Epstein and Friedman (THE
CELLULOID CLOSET, HOWL) cast a
wonderfully convincing Amanda
Seyfried as Boreman/Lovelace
and Peter Sarsgaard as Traynor,
and cleverly split the story into
two separate accounts of
Boreman’s experience.
Forced to move in with Ginger,
her cheerfully working-class
sister, Jasmine rues the loss of
her past life and grapples to
find a solution to her economic
woes, if not a way to recover
her grandeur, preferably via
marriage.

The Great Beauty (La grande bellezza) 05th, 06th and 09th Oct
Dir: Paolo Sorrentino
Dur: 141mins
Starring: Toni Servillo, Carlo
Verdone, Sabrina Ferilli
Italian with English subtitles IT/FR, 2013
Wealthy playboy Jep should
have been a great novelist,
but after publishing just one
book he has instead frittered
his life away on parties and
self-aggrandisement. On the
morning after his outrageously
decadent 65th birthday
celebrations, he suddenly
decides to go in search of
genuine meaning – of ‘great
beauty’. His subsequent
odyssey through the Rome
of his memories and dreams
exposes him to the hypocrisy
and venality of modern Italy, but
also to profound spirituality and
splendour.

Dir: Ki-duk Kim

Starring: Min-soo Jo, Jeong-jin

Korean with English subtitles
KR, 2012
When a Vienna museum guard
befriends an enigmatic visitor,
the grand Kunsthistorisches Art
Museum becomes a mysterious
crossroads which sparks
explorations of their lives, the city,
and the ways artworks reflect
and shape the world.
Director Carruth follows on
the promise of his 2004 debut
PRIMER with this jaw-dropping
slice of high-concept sci-fi.
After a woman is drugged and
robbed by a petty thief, she finds
herself drawn to a mysterious
man who seems to share her
life memories. The film follows
the intertwined fates of this
couple as they fall in love and
struggle to comprehend the
machinations of a god-like figure
in the wings, whose motivations
may be benign or malevolent.
Part meditation on love and
memory, part engrossing mindbender in the tradition of the
very best of science fiction,
UPSTREAM COLOR is one of the
most original and distinctive films
of the year.
PIETA, winner of the Golden
Lion at the 2012 Venice Film
Festival, is the latest film from
Leeds International Film Festival
favourite Kim Ki-Duk (SPRING,
SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER… AND
SPRING). PIETA follows Lee, a debt
collector who works for a local
loan shark and collects what is
due with a little too much vigour.
One day a well-dressed woman
arrives at his door and claims to
be the mother who abandoned
him long ago. He refuses to
believe her but she persists and
the regularity of his dark routine
is thrown into turmoil.

Coogan, Alexander Skarsgård
US, 2012
More battle of wills than tug
of love, Henry James’ 1897
novel What Maisie Knew is
here updated to present-day
Manhattan. Ageing rock star
Susanna (Moore, never better)
and permanently distracted art
dealer Beale (Coogan, ditto)
are the neglectful parents, the
magnetic Onata Aprile their sixyear-old daughter, and Joanna
Vanderham the nanny who
evidently cares more for her
than they do. Once divorced,
Beale swiftly marries Joanna
as a custody gambit; Susanna
responds spitefully by marrying
Lincoln, a somewhat gullible
barman, and Joanna and
Lincoln are increasingly obliged
to do the parenting for the
knowing but still fragile Maisie.
The Pervert's Guide 15

The makers of 2005’s critically
acclaimed THE PERVERT’S GUIDE
TO CINEMA return with THE
PERVERT’S GUIDE TO IDEOLOGY.
Philosopher Slavoj Žižek and
filmmaker Sophie Fiennes use
their interpretation of moving
pictures to present a compelling
cinematic journey into the heart
of ideology – the dreams that
shape our collective beliefs and
practices.
“[THE PERVERT’S GUIDE TO
IDEOLOGY is] a pleasing, if
intellectually demanding,
meander through the thoughts
of one of today’s most important
thinkers.” LITTLE WHITE LIES
