October – November 2015
hello
There might be only one name on everyone's lips
at the moment (Bond, James Bond), but at DCA
we’re equally excited about another cinematic
return – Discovery Film Festival! Scotland's
International Film Festival for Young Audiences
is back and has more than its own share of
gadgets, exciting chase sequences and
superheroes. We search all year long for the best
films made around the world for this audience in
order to bring them to you each autumn. From
India to Australia and from tiny tots to teens,
there is literally something for everyone as well as
workshops and an astonishing new exhibition in
our galleries. We expect to welcome thousands
of school children over the two weeks but have
a packed programme of family screenings each
weekend too so please, come and join us!
In addition to the aforementioned Bond, we will
be showing quite a few of the films already being
spoken about as award contenders in this guide.
Long overdue is Suffragette, which tells the story
of the courageous women who fought for rights
that we so easily take for granted today. There
is also a new film version of Macbeth (shot on
location on the Isle of Skye) which is a brutal
and atmospheric version of the Scottish play,
complete with Scottish accents. And last but not
least, we think you will fall in love with the gentle
and moving adaptation of Colm Tóibín's novel
about immigration Brooklyn as much as we did.

The Martian
Fri 9 – Thu 22 October
Essentially Cast Away in outer space, The Martian is a tense,
entertaining and epic tale of survival where a NASA astronaut
must use all his ingenuity and courage to stay alive on Mars
while awaiting rescue from colleagues back on Earth.
Life
Fri 9 – Thu 15 October
Director Anton Corbijn, who made the Ian Curtis
film Control, turns his photographer's gaze onto a
slice of American history and the moment an icon
was born. Life paints a portrait of the friendship
between Magnum photographer Dennis Stock
and up-and-coming actor James Dean. Their
time together resulted in a famous Life magazine
photo of Dean standing in middle of Times
Square, his collar turned up against the rain,
which help shaped Dean’s image and his career.
When they meet, both young men are at the
beginning of their professional lives: Stock
(Robert Pattinson) desperate to be taken
seriously for his photography, but eking out a
living in film publicity, and Dean (Dane DeHaan),
working on Rebel Without a Cause and poised
for super-stardom. Both recognise something of
themselves in the other – insecurity, creativity, a
troubled soul – and soon become friends. Stock
follows Dean back to New York, into the Actor's
Studio, then to Indiana to meet his uncle and
aunt who raised him, all the while trying to
convince the reluctant actor that the exposure
will make him a star.
With beautiful wide-screen photography,
meticulous production detail, and a lush Owen
Pallet jazz soundtrack, Life is a fascinating study
of a time when the old-guard stiff suit studio
system was being challenged by the energy
and willfulness of the Beat generation.

Adapted from the novel by Andy Weir, The Martian opens
with an unexpected storm interrupting the routine tasks being
performed by a group of scientists. As they rush back to their
spacecraft, Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is separated and the
group takes off for safety, assuming their fellow astronaut is
dead. When he regains consciousness and realises he is
alone, Watney must figure out how to let the office know he’s
still alive, and how to survive until they can work out a way to
save him. Cutting back and forth between his small triumphs
and failures on the barren planet and the team of people back
home who have to make some difficult decisions about his
rescue, this is nail-biting stuff.
Damon (like Tom Hanks before him) is perfectly cast and
brings a jovial charm to the role – spending two hours in his
company is an easy task. For any scientists out there, the film
might stretch credibility a bit far, but that's half the fun of a
space movie. Leave your logic at the door and simply enjoy
the ride!

Macbeth
Fri 9 – Thu 22 October
With Australian director Justin Kurzel (Snowtown) at the helm, you can rest assured that this adaptation of the Scottish
play is not going to shy away from the violence at its core. Kurzel manages to make the bloody and muddy material
his own, and this Macbeth is a triumph, not least because of the tour-de-force performances by the cast and the
atmospheric setting of Skye.
Living in the wilds of Scotland, Macbeth
(Michael Fassbender), his Lady (Marion
Cotillard) and men have sworn allegiance
to Duncan, the King of Scotland (David
Thewlis). The appearance of four witches
signals that unrest is afoot and it isn't long
before ambition has taken hold in their
camp, with some dire consequences. With
all loyalties broken, blood, brutality and
madness swiftly follow.
“This Macbeth is a triumph,
not least because of the
tour-de-force performances by
the cast and the atmospheric
setting of Skye.”
Purists might well balk at some of the changes Kurzel and the writers (Jacob Koskoff, Todd Louiso and Michael
Lesslie) have made, but to be fair, they acknowledge in the opening credit that the film is “based on” Shakespeare’s
play. What they bring to the table is something primal – be it misty exteriors, murky interiors, passable Scottish accents
or an organic sense of location. For the Game of Thrones generation this might be a revelation, and for others, it’s a
new take on an old tale. And a brutal one at that.

The Walk
Fri 23 – Thu 29 October
Immortalised in James Marsh's documentary Man on Wire,
the story of Philippe Petit's audacious tight-rope walk
between the two World Trade Center towers in the early
1970s gets the dramatic 3D treatment in The Walk.
99 Homes
Fri 16 – Thu 22 October
From American indie director Ramin Bahrani, 99
Homes takes a look at the financial crisis in the
United States and its impact on ordinary people.
The business of home repossession, fraught with
emotion, is dramatic and very personal, with
some lives destroyed and others made as a
result of those unfortunate souls unable to pay
their rent.
Rick Carver (the magnetic Michael Shannon) is
a ruthless and very successful real-estate broker.
He makes his money evicting tenants and then
purchasing foreclosed homes. When he knocks
on the door of Dennis Nash (Andrew Garfield),
a hard-working construction worker living with
his mother (Laura Dern) and young son (Noah
Lomax), their lives are turned upside down.
Humiliated but desperate for work, Nash starts
working for Carver and as he gets a taste for
success, the lies he tells himself and his family
begin to grow, and he finds himself becoming
part of the machine that took away everything
he originally had.
While Shannon is great as the ruthless boss who
entices a desperate man into this Faustian pact,
Garfield more than holds his own. He brings a
vulnerability to his performance which works
equally well in the early scenes, where his
desperation is palpable, as it does in the final
ones, when he realises what kind of man he
has become.

Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man –
Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – has ever, or will ever,
walked in the immense void between the World Trade Center
towers. Guided by his real-life mentor Papa Rudy (Ben
Kingsley), and aided by an unlikely band of international
recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals,
dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute
their mad plan. For almost seven years, Petit and his team of
collaborators patiently prepared and planned their mission.
Several times the project was aborted but even at the lowest
ebb, vacillating between inspired and possibly insane, he was
a man obsessed.
Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the
Future) again uses advanced technology in the service of
an emotional, character-driven story. Full of innovative
photorealistic techniques and IMAX 3D wizardry, The Walk is
true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally
experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film is a
love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most
of all, to the towers of the World Trade Center.
Dir: Robert Zemeckis
USA 2015 / 2h04m / PG
Suffragette
Fri 16 October – Thu 5 November
Suffragette blends fact and fiction to bring the story of the women who bravely fought for their rights as equal citizens
to the big screen, directed by Sarah Gavron (Brick Lane) from a script written by Abi Morgan. The misogyny and
mistrust of the establishment and the ordeals the suffragettes endured for their cause will shock many who aren't
familiar with this time in our recent history.
The scene is London, 1912, where young wife and
mother Maud (Carey Mulligan) works as a laundry
worker, exploited and abused in the factory. When she
recognises a co-worker, Violet (Anne-Marie Duff), at a
suffragette protest, she becomes interested in their
cause and the prospect of change. Belittled by the
police who try to turn her into an informer, Maud's
resolve is not weakened, and she becomes even
more willing to give up everything – family, freedom,
and possibly her life – for the cause.
“An intimate portrait of the
sacrifice and struggle that
ordinary women went
through to change society.”
By choosing to focus on one woman's story, Suffragette is not a detailed history, although Meryl Streep's brief
appearance as Emmeline Pankhurst is electrifying. Rather, it is an intimate portrait of the sacrifice and struggle that
ordinary women went through to change society. Beautifully shot by Eduard Grau (who was responsible for the stylish
A Single Man), this film rests on the shoulders of its terrific cast, which interestingly includes Helena Bonham Carter,
the great-granddaughter of Lord Asquith, who was prime minister at the time.

Red Army
Fri 23 – Thu 29 October
A festival hit everywhere it’s been, this entertaining and oddly
moving doc is about so much more than just men on skates
with a puck. Telling the story of the Moscow 'Red Army' ice
hockey team, who had great success in the 1980s, filmmaker
Gabe Polsky mixes cold war politics with human drama off the
ice, to great effect.
Sicario
Fri 23 – Thu 29 October
With Prisoners, Canadian filmmaker Denis
Villeneuve proved that he is certainly more than
capable of creating a film with nail-biting tension
and elegant storytelling. Sicario rises to this
challenge again, throwing in plenty of twists
and turns, right up to the final coda.
Young FBI agent Kate Macy (Emily Blunt) is the
head of a response team that makes a horrific
discovery – 42 bodies bricked into the
foundations of a building by a Mexican drug
cartel – when raiding a house. Her work on the
case leads her to Matt Graver (Josh Brolin),
who summons her to enlists for a new taskforce
aimed at bringing down the notorious Sonoral
gang. Reluctant at first, Macy finds herself drawn
into the shadowy mission, which seems to be
operating on both sides of the law, not least
because of the involvement of Alejandro (Benicio
Del Toro), a former prosecutor from Colombia
drafted in to help.
Villeneuve is a dab hand at set-pieces and some
of the raids – shot by the steady hand of veteran
cinematographer Roger Deakins – will literally
have you on the edge of your seat. But equally as
interesting in Sicario (the word used by the drug
trade for henchman), is the moral maze that the
film puts you through – you’ll never know exactly
who is good or bad, or which side you should be
rooting for.
At the heart of the story is former Red Army team defender and
national hero Viachaslay 'Slava' Fetisoy. A reluctant interviewee
at times, he has a short fuse and no time for silly questions, but
reveals the deep passion, pain and sacrifice that came from
being a top athlete within the Soviet system. From the team's
first coach, the visionary Anatoli Tarasov to the more rigid Viktor
Tikhonov, Red Army tracks the evolution of Russian hockey
as a style of play and a way of life. The archival footage is
fascinating, as are all the other people interviewed, which
combine to create a compelling portrait of life before and after
Perestroika.
Polsky has a real gift for storytelling and uses his probing
questions, knowledge about the sport and clear rapport with
his subjects to great effect. He is also a man with a sense of
humour and the film is laced with great moments including our
favourite: a former KGB agent talking to the camera when his
interview is hilariously derailed by the bold little granddaughter
he’s supposed to be minding.

The Program
Fri 30 October – Thu 5 November
Does the world really need another film about disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong? With Stephen Frears (The Queen,
Philomena) at the helm, a script by John Hodge (Trainspotting) and Ben Foster in the lead role, we think it definitely
does.
Few can forget when the wunderkind of racing, cancersurvivor, and all round American hero Lance Armstrong
won the Tour de France. He wore the yellow jersey
proudly and was the toast of the cycling world. But
his meteoric rise to the top was questioned by Irish
journalist David Walsh (Chris O'Dowd), who felt the
transformation of sportsman into superman was not
physically possible. His accusations met with hostility,
bullying and even threats of violence before the truth
finally came out and the sport of cycling was changed
forever.
“A fascinating portrait of
the ambition and relentless
drive needed to compete
and win at the top level.”
Frears' film is a fascinating portrait of the ambition and relentless drive needed to compete and win at the top level.
It also exposes the motivation of the doctors, colleagues and advisors who risked everything to take Armstrong further.
What The Program ultimately reveals is a sport culture founded on the deadly combination of secrecy and success,
which makes for fascinating viewing.

The Lobster
Fri 30 October – Thu 5 November
We’re delighted that Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos
(Dogtooth) has retained his black, surreal sense of
humour for his first English-language film, The Lobster.
With a cast who are as game as he is, an absurdist
premise and deadpan tone, this is one of the strangest
and funniest films of the year.
Crimson Peak
Fri 30 October – Thu 5 November
Mexican maestro of the macabre Guillermo del Toro is
a filmmaker who will be remembered for his work in
fantasy-horror. Having worked with makeup and effects
legend Dick Smith (The Exorcist) early in his career, del
Toro’s movies (Cronos, Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth
to name a few) have always featured otherworldly
characters and imagery. His latest offering to the genre,
Crimson Peak, is a good old-fashioned haunted house
story which showcases the director’s unique visual flair.
Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) is an aspiring author in
19th century England. Looking to escape the memories
of a childhood trauma, she finds comfort and romance
in the form of dashing country gentleman Sir Thomas
Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston). They marry and move to
Sharpe’s mansion in remote Cumbria, with his sister
Lucille (Jessica Chastain) acting as caretaker, but Edith
soon realises that her husband and his house are not all
that they appear to be.
Del Toro lavishes Crimson Peak with colourfully
fantastical, nightmarish imagery that is reminiscent
of Coppola’s Dracula; blood red contrasted against
virginal white, framed by shadows thick with menace.
Wasikowska holds her own as the poor soul tortured by
her past, while Hiddleston and Chastain waltz through
their roles with such natural ease that it’s easy to see
why they are regarded as such excellent actors.
Dir: Guillermo del Toro

“A good old-fashioned haunted

The film opens as David (Colin Farrell) checks into a
hotel resort. He has just 45 days to find a partner or he’ll
be turned into an animal of his choosing. The dog he
has brought with him is his brother, Bob, who didn't
make it. The rules are explained to him by a stern
matron (Olivia Colman) before he sets out to find
himself a mate. Between meals and stilted chitchat,
the newcomers are also forced to go on hunting trips
to shoot the "loners" who have escaped into the woods.
David eventually escapes to join the renegades living
in the forest, where he finds himself attracted to another
inmate (Rachel Weisz), the woman chosen to play his
'wife' on trips into the city where successful partners
live.
Spectre
The Lobster is a fascinating take on contemporary
courting, where matches are made based on algorithms
and self-confessed characteristics, and has a lot to say
about love, relationships and loneliness. While its
theatrical nature will challenge some, stick with it –
this quirky film has a lot to offer. Not least seeing Colin
Farrell like you never have before, all paunch and
moustache: for a superstar he has no vanity, and that is
a very refreshing thing indeed.
James Bond, the suave super spy with a penchant for vodka martinis, has graced the screen for over 50 years, oozing
charisma and menace in equal measure. Some actors in the role have lacked the right combination of machismo and
humour, while some films have been big on action but devoid of the substance required to create a good movie. Daniel
Craig is not one of those actors and Spectre is not one of those films. After the success of Skyfall, we think it is a very
wise choice that Sam Mendes return to the director’s chair.
Dir: Yorgos Lanthimos
Ireland / UK / France / Greece / Netherlands 2015
1h58m / 15
Shortly after the events of Skyfall, a cryptic message from Bond’s past sets the agent on the trail of a sinister
organisation known as SPECTRE. From Mexico City to Austria to Rome, he recruits new allies and encounters old
nemeses in a bid to strike at the heart of SPECTRE and bring down criminal mastermind Franz Oberhauser (Christoph
Waltz).
Fri 6 – Thu 19 November
The modern Bond movies are excellent additions to the legacy and Spectre adds yet another best to Craig’s
incarnation. Mendes’ direction allows the film to keep good pace, balancing epic action sequences with plot
developments expertly. The supporting cast including Waltz, Ralph Fiennes and Monica Bellucci are all excellent in
the fray. If this is Craig’s last outing as 007, he will do what no other actor has done and leave the franchise in a better
condition than when he entered.

Palio
Fri 30 October – Sun 1 November
Every year, in the central square of Siena, the Palio
takes place. An infamous 90-second bareback horse
race, the spectacle pits neighbourhood versus
neighbourhood against a backdrop of bribes,
machismo and sportsmanship.
At the heart of this film are two characters: Gigi
Bruschelli, the hometown favourite who has won the
race 13 times in 16 years (although technically for one
of those he was thrown to the ground and the horse
finished without him) and the young Gioavanni Atzeni,
a Sardinian who looks set to take Gigi’s crown. Dressed
splendidly in the silk pastel colours of the area of the
city they represent, a jockey's life is a precarious and
dangerous one, given that if they lose, they must be
put under protection.
The Closer We Get
Sat 17 October, 15:15
Brooklyn
Fri 6 – Thu 19 November
A coming-of-age story about the heartache at the core of any new beginning, Brooklyn was adapted for the screen by
Nick Hornby, from Colm Tóibín's novel. Beautifully observed, this is classic storytelling at its very best which will touch
the heart of anyone who’s ever had to painfully say goodbye to an old life in order to forge a new one.
“Exquisitely captures the conflict
of drifting away from a life you’ve
always known to embrace a new
one you are just discovering.”
Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan) is bound for America.
With no work at home and few prospects, she is
going to Brooklyn where a job and the kindly Father
Flood (Jim Broadbent) are waiting for her. On arrival
she settles into a boarding house run by the strict
but well-meaning Ma Kehoe (Julie Walters). Terribly
homesick, she fills her spare time with night classes
until at a local dance she meets Tony (Emory Cohen),
a young Italian-American boy. Smitten, the two embark on a tentative courtship and Eilis begins to feel hopeful about
her new life. When tragic news calls her back to Ireland, she’s drawn in by familiar surroundings, a duty to her mother,
and a potential new suitor (Domhnall Gleeson). Faced with a difficult decision, Eilis must chose to either pick up where
she left off in Ireland, or return to her new life in America.
Ronan (on screen in almost every scene) brings a pure emotion to the role that is utterly captivating. Rarely has the
story of immigration been told from a woman's point of view and Brooklyn exquisitely captures the conflict of drifting
away from a life you've always known to embrace a new one you are just discovering.

This is a powerful and bittersweet portrait of loyalty,
broken dreams and redemption told by its director, the
reluctantly dutiful daughter Karen Guthrie, who takes
you under the skin of the household as she returns for

Karen’s mother Ann suffers a devastating stroke that
brings her daughter back home. But Karen isn’t the only
one who comes back to help in the crisis: her prodigal
father – the endearing yet unfathomable Ian, who’s been
separated from Ann for years – also reappears.
Reunited so unexpectedly, and armed with her camera,
Karen seizes this last chance to go under the skin of her
family’s story, before it’s too late. We see a family coming
to terms with a secret her father had tried – and failed –
to keep from them all, and find that Ann’s stroke has in
fact thrown them all a life raft.
With candour, warmth and much unexpected humour,
Karen’s role as family confidante, busybody, therapist
and spy brings to life both an extraordinary story and a
profound portrait of family survival.

of Seville
Otello
Bolshoi Ballet:
Giselle
Sat 17 October, 17:55
Mon 19 October, 19:30
Sun 11 October, 16:00
October brings two masterpieces
live from the Met.
The Barber of Seville will have you
smiling from the moment it begins.
Filled with fun and farce, English
National Opera’s classic staging of
this sunny adventure follows the
escapades of the barber Figaro as
he assists Count Almaviva to prise
the beautiful Rosina away from her
lecherous guardian Dr Bartolo.
Giselle is a romantic ballet gem and
one of the oldest and greatest in the
classical repertoire, touching upon
the great romantic themes. The
Bolshoi is renowned for its intimate
and emotionally intense interpretation
of this beloved drama, which sees
a girl die when she learns the man
she loves has betrayed her. Joining
a group of vengeful sprits, the
adulterer is condemned to dance
to his death.
Verdi’s masterful Otello matches
Shakespeare’s play in tragic
intensity. Director Bartlett Sher
probes the Moor’s dramatic downfall
with an outstanding cast. Otello is
an outsider and great hero who can’t
control his jealousy, and this new
production sees the story take place
in a shape-shifting glass palace.
Tannhäuser
Sat 31 October, 16:00
James Levine conducts Wagner’s
early masterpiece, Tannhäuser, in its
first return to the Met stage in more
than a decade. The opera sees a
young knight caught between true
love and passion and takes place in
and around a German castle.
Tickets £20 (£10 under 21s
and students)
Set in an elegant vision of
18th-century Seville, Jonathan
Miller’s much-loved production
remains as side-splittingly funny as
ever. For this revival, the talented
Christopher Allen will conduct
Rossini’s sparkling score, packed
full of wit and playful tunes. The
wonderful Andrew Shore takes the
role of Dr Bartolo, alongside Kathryn
Rudge as Rosina and rising star
Morgan Pearse as Figaro.
The Barber of Seville is sung in
English with subtitles.
Tickets £15 (£10 under 21s)
Jewels (encore)
Sun 8 November, 15:00
This opulent triptych was inspired
by choreographer Balanchine’s visit
to a famous jeweller on New York’s
Fifth Avenue. Celebrating the cities
and dance schools of Paris, New
York and St Petersburg, each is
represented by a contrasting jewel
– emerald, ruby and diamond.
Join us for this unique opportunity
to enjoy Balanchine’s visually
captivating work.

Of Mice and Men
Sat 24 October, 10:30
Thu 19 November, 19:00
As a country arms itself for war, a
family tears itself apart. Forced to
avenge his father’s death but
paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet
rages against the impossibility of his
predicament, threatening both his
sanity and the security of the state.
Academy Award nominee James
Franco and Tony Award nominee
Chris O’Dowd star in a highlyanticipated screening of the
‘riveting, powerful production’
(Independent) of Nobel Prize-winner
John Steinbeck's play.
King Leontes appears to have
everything: power, wealth, a loving
family and friends. But sexual
jealousy sets in motion a chain of
events with tragic consequences...
Academy Award nominee Benedict
Cumberbatch (BBC’s Sherlock,
The Imitation Game, NT Live:
Frankenstein) takes on the title role
of Shakespeare’s great tragedy.
Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Posh,
Chimerica) and produced by Sonia
Friedman Productions, we bring you
a special encore screening of this
Barbican production, brought to
cinemas by National Theatre Live.
Set in California during the Great
Depression, Of Mice and Men
follows two migrant workers:
George, a sharp but uneducated,
short-tempered man, and simpleminded Lennie. Together they hope
to one day acquire their own piece
of land, but when Lennie stirs up
trouble on the job, George must
choose between protecting his friend
or staying the course towards his
version of the American dream.
The first season of Branagh Theatre
Company Live begins with The
Winter’s Tale, Shakespeare's
timeless tragicomedy of obsession
and redemption, reimagined in a
new production. Co-directed by
Rob Ashford and Kenneth Branagh,
it stars a remarkable group of actors,
featuring Judi Dench as Paulina,
alongside Tom Bateman (Florizel),
Jessie Buckley (Perdita), Hadley
Fraser (Polixenes), Miranda Raison
(Hermione) and Kenneth Branagh
as Leontes.

Un homme ideal
Fri 6 November, 20:30
Mathieu Vasseur (Pierre Niney, star of last year’s Yves Saint Laurent) is a
struggling young writer making a living at his uncle’s moving company. The
chance discovery of a dead man’s diary in a skip changes his life forever.
Submitting the work to a publisher as his own, Mathieu is hailed as the
‘next big thing’ and his life becomes a whirlwind of fame and adoration. But
success comes at a price – how can he follow up with a second novel, and
will a mysterious stranger who seems to know his secret reveal that he is
nothing but an imposter?

Mon Roi
Le dernier diamant
Le silence de la mer
Fri 13 November, 20:30
Sat 14 November, 15:30
Simon (Yvan Attal) is a thief on parole hired to carry
out the biggest job of his career: to steal the famous
Florentine diamond. Julia (Bérénice Béjo) is a diamond
expert with a personal interest in making sure the jewel
is successfully auctioned. With the two characters
drawn inextricably towards this glittering object, and
to each other, there are plenty of complications and
double-crosses standing in their way. Fast-paced, full of
plot twists and with an unexpected jewel of a love story,
this is an exciting thriller that is as seductive and brilliant
as the diamond itself.
Jean-Pierre Melville began his superb feature filmmaking
career with this powerful adaptation of an influential
underground novel written during the Nazi occupation
of France. A cultured, naively idealistic German officer
is billeted in the home of a middle-aged man and his
grown niece; their response to his presence – their only
form of resistance – is complete silence. Constructed
with elegant minimalism and shot with hushed
eloquence by the legendary Henri Decaë, Le silence de
la mer points the way toward Melville’s later films about
resistance and the occupation ( Lé́on Morin, Priest; Army
of Shadows) while remaining a singularly eerie masterwork in its own right.

After her astonishing drama about a child-protection unit (Polisse),
Maïwenn Besco returns to our screens with this uncompromising film
about a relationship in meltdown. Emmanuelle Bercot and Vincent Cassel
star as a tempestuous couple locked in a cycle of violence and love. When
Tony (Bercot) is admitted into a rehabilitation centre after a serious skiing
accident, she is forced to take a harsh look at her life with the volatile
Georgio (Cassel). A difficult process of healing lies in front of her which
may finally be the only thing that sets her free.

The Big Blue
Thu 12 November, 20:30
The Big Blue is a visionary epic of obsession and beauty about Jacques
Mayol (Jean Marc Barr), a handsome diver who is so at home in the water
that he seems only half-human. Jacques' best friends are a family of playful
porpoises and Enzo Molinari, his swaggering Italian diving rival. Jacques
and Enzo grew up together in the Mediterranean, and remain lifelong
friends despite a fierce battle for the top prize in the world free diving
championships. When the dreamer Jacques falls in love with the beautiful
Johanna, he finds himself torn between the damsel and the deep blue.

Vie sauvage
L’Ombre des Femmes
Sat 14 November, 20:30
Sun 15 November, 20:30
Carole and Philippe (Céline Sallette and Mathieu
Kassovitz), tired of propriety and consumerism, opt
to renounce civilisation and live off the land. Calling
themselves Nora and Paco, they lead a nomadic life
in their caravan, gradually adding children to the mix.
When Nora tires of their itinerant lifestyle and gains
custody of their sons, Philippe refuses to allow his
children to be raised according to the societal codes
he abhors. What follows is the riveting true story of a
father’s reckless but all-consuming love, directed by
Cédric Kahn (Red Lights).
Iconoclast of French cinema Philippe Garrel creates a
beautifully modulated film about the ups and downs
of bohemian life shot in lustrous black and white.
Pierre (Stanislas Merhar) is a filmmaker shooting a
documentary on an elderly French Resistance veteran,
and Manon (Clotilde Courau), his loyal professional and
domestic partner. In their marginal existence they stay
one step ahead of their landlord, until one day, the
feckless Pierre meets a young intern at the film archive
where he does his research. He and Elisabeth (Léna
Paugam) are soon entangled, and for Pierre, this
amorous relationship becomes as much of a constraint
as the one from which he is attempting to escape.

Chaplin
In his heyday, Charlie Chaplin was the most recognised and photographed man in the world. His great creation, The
Tramp, made both the common man and intellectuals laugh and cry. Chaplin was one of cinema’s great humanists and
his films run the full gamut of emotions. Don’t miss four of his greatest films in stunning digital restorations. Tickets
are £5 for under 21s/£5.70 for adults, or a family ticket for four costs £16.
La tete haute
Le pere Noël
Fri 20 November, 18:00
Sat 21 November, 13:00
Directed by actress Emmanuelle Bercot (who appears in
Mon Roi), La tete haute (Standing Tall) opened this year’s
Cannes Film Festival to great acclaim. At the heart of
this story is a teenage delinquent (electric newcomer
Rod Paradot) whose police record reads longer than the
complete works of Marcel Proust, and the patient judge
(Catherine Deneuve) who tries to help him. This is a gritty
and compassionate look at an adolescence riddled by
violence and punishment and the idea that rehabilitation
is a long way off, but not entirely out of the question.
On Christmas Eve, six-year-old Antoine has only one
idea on his mind: to meet Father Christmas and go on
a trip to the stars in his sleigh. When Father Christmas
(Tahar Rahim) does magically fall onto his balcony,
Antoine is too dazzled to see that he is in fact a thief
in disguise, stealing jewels from apartments in chic
neighbourhoods. Despite all his efforts to get rid of the
very determined boy, Father Christmas and Antoine
form an improbable duo, traversing Paris from roof to
roof, each of them looking for their own dream.

Mon amie Victoria
Asphalte
Sat 21 November, 18:00
Sun 22 November, 20:30
Based on the story Victoria and the Staveneys by Doris
Lessing, Mon amie Victoria is the story of an eight yearold orphan, Victoria (Keylia Achie Beguie). Taken into
the home of a white bourgeois family for a single night,
the evening fuels her dreams of comfort and privilege for
the rest of her life. As an adult (now beautifully played by
Guslagie Malanda), she reconnects with the youngest
son of her host family, bearing his child after a brief affair.
All the while she drifts from job to job, independent and
lacking focus, all except for that one night from her
childhood and its revelations.
A quirky and endearing urban dramedy set within a
run-down French apartment house, Asphalte marks
a strong fifth feature from writer-director-actor Samuel
Benchetrit (I Always Wanted to be a Gangster). Like a
light-hearted Short Cuts transplanted to the grim Paris
banlieue, this series of cleverly conceived vignettes
is both amusing and tender, focusing on several
downtrodden characters scraping by in a forgotten
industrial wasteland. The film’s terrific ensemble
cast includes Isabelle Huppert, Gustave Kervern,
Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi and Michael Pitt.

The Kid
The Gold Rush
Sat 10 October, 13:00
Sun 11 October, 13:00
The Kid marked Chaplin’s shift from comedy shorts to
feature films and set the tone for what was to come.
Slapstick comedy, gut-wrenching pathos, genuinely
squalid realism and surreal flights of fancy may sound
like awkward bedfellows, but in Chaplin’s hands the
combination is nothing short of sublime.
Seeing The Gold Rush makes it easy to understand why
Chaplin became a rallying point for the world’s poor. The
Tramp might suffer every privation while prospecting in
the Yukon, but Chaplin’s imagination turns suffering into
comic gold, not least in the scene where he makes a
thanksgiving dinner out of an old pair of boots.

City Lights
Modern Times
Mon 12 October, 13:00
Tue 13 October, 13:00
City Lights, in which the Tramp falls for a blind girl and
tries to find the money to pay for an eye operation, is in
many ways Chaplin’s most extraordinary film, and his
most emotionally devastating. A favourite film of Fellini,
Welles, Tarkovsky, Kubrick and Woody Allen – enough
said.
Modern Times was Chaplin’s farewell to both the
Tramp and silent film. It also marked his transition from
entertainer to committed political artist. However, his
rage against the machinery of the modern world is
tempered by a great deal of warmth and expertly timed
slapstick. Unquestionably a masterpiece.

Paper Planes
Fri 23 October – Sun 1 November
11 year-old Dylan is coming to terms with the recent
death of his mother, and has to look after himself whilst
his father is overcome with grief. At school one day
he’s introduced to the art of creating paper planes and
surprises everyone with his first record-busting attempt.
Taking part in the national finals, he qualifies for the
World Paper Plane Championships in Tokyo. Trying to
raise the funds necessary for this once-in-a-lifetime
experience, Dylan is helped by his school friends,
the neighbours and his charmingly unconventional
grandfather. But will Dylan’s success help rebuild his
relationship with his father, and can his small-town
creations really lift a world title?

princes, feisty Mediterranean pirates, a pair of very
resourceful cows and a hippopotamus with a problem.
Thia is a beautifully crafted hand-drawn animation that
takes the spirit of classic Disney and adds a splash of
humour and social comment. Occasionally sad, often
hilarious, this exciting adventure is sure to prove a
favourite with Dundee audiences.
