The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann Friday 4 – Thursday 24 July

Jonas Jonasson’s feel-good international bestseller proves that it is never too late to let a little adventure in your life. When Allan Karlsson quietly escapes from the celebrations for his 100th birthday, little misunderstandings and unfortunate coincidences soon find him in possession of a suitcase of cash and being hotly pursued by criminals. It’s hardly going to trouble a man who played a vital role in making the atomic bomb, has known several world leaders and participated in some of the key events of the last century. GFF14 Director Felix Herngren Cast Robert Gustafsson, Iwar Wiklander, David Wiberg, Sweden 2013, subtitles, 1h54m, 15

Cold in July

Showing until Thursday 10 July Twists and turns abound in this thrilling account of how one split-second decision can change your life. Michael C Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under) plays Richard Dane, who, after putting a bullet in the brain of a low-life burglar one night, is hailed as a small-town hero. However, when the burglar’s dangerous ex-con father Ben (Sam Shepard) arrives in town, Richard finds himself fearing for his family’s safety. Director Jim Mickle (We Are What We Are) infuses the film with a balmy, dazed Texan take on a classic pulp-noir tale, starting with a punch and hurtling towards a blood-soaked finish.

TV heartthrob Gauthier Valence (Lambert Wilson) attempts to convince his long-time reclusive actor friend (Fabrice Luchini) to star in his production of Molière’s comedy of manners.

Mistaken for Strangers Friday 4 – Monday 7 July

This hilarious warts-and-all chronicle ventures beyond the music industry gloss to reveal a story of brotherhood, artistic aspiration and identity.

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist Friday 4 – Monday 7 July

In this enlightening documentary, James Erskine recounts the tumultuous climb and descent of Italian cyclist Marco Pantani. Using a mixture of archive footage, interviews and dramatised reconstructions, we see how he captured imaginations on the way to a historic double victory at Le Tour de France and Giro D’Italia in 1998 before falling from grace with irregular blood readings, a disqualification and ultimately overdosing in a hotel room years later.

The tragic story of a man struggling to overcome the odds, addiction and the crushing inevitability of a life pushed too far.

Boyhood

Friday 11 – Thursday 24 July Richard Linklater’s latest is the culmination of twelve years of work, with the filmmaker intermittently revisiting the life of his (once young) star to tell the fictionalised life of Mason Jr. Charting his life from six-years-old until he leaves high school at age eighteen, we see as Mason deals with the trials and tribulations of youth, including his relationship with his parents – portrayed with honesty and emotion by frequent Linklater collaborators Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke. After premiering at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, this deeply intimate epic has gone on to impress audiences at film festivals across the world.

Tahar Rahim’s Gary is among the expendable workers hired to clean and repair nuclear reactors. Safety is a matter for the individual; if Gary’s radiation levels rise he becomes unemployable. His attraction to Karole (Léa Seydoux from Blue Is the Warmest Colour) is immediate and their affair plays out in a series of lyrical lakeside meetings. She is living with gentle giant Toni, which only adds to the sense of danger in lives that are being risked by a cynical industry every single working day. A poetic drama with a powerhouse cast.

Joe

Friday 25 July – Thursday 7 August Joe is a rugged, no-nonsense man of quiet intensity, a good soul with an unfortunate propensity towards alcohol and violence. Based on the novel by Larry Brown and directed by David Gordon Green (continuing his exploration of wounded masculinity following last year’s Prince Avalanche), this is a film about the underside of Americana – a land both ugly and beautiful, which Nicholas Cage’s Joe fully embodies. One day, a fifteen-year-old drifter named Gary (Tree of Life’s Tye Sheridan) shows up looking for work and soon Joe finds himself looking after the damaged youth. A tough, gripping and often agonising portrayal of masculinity, featuring one of Cage’s best performances.

To See Oursels offers audiences an entertaining and stimulating opportunity tae think again about such matters. A diverse range of classic Scottish film and television drama screenings, programme notes, expert introductions and panel discussions shine a spotlight on some of the key ways, both past and present, in which Scotland has understood itself – and in which the wider world has understood the Scots.

Supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network.

Local Hero

Sunday 3 August (17.00) Writer/director Bill Forsyth’s third feature is one of the funniest culture-clash comedies in cinema history.

Described by its maker as ‘Apocalypse Now meets Brigadoon’, Local Hero both celebrates and subverts a laundry list of Scottish stereotypes. When a materialistic American corporate executive arrives in Scotland with the aim of turning a huge stretch of unspoilt northern coastline into a gigantic petrochemical refinery, the economics of oil go head to head against the enchantment of Highland culture and mythology. A movie warm enough to melt the heart of Donald Trump.

Introduced by Dr Jonny Murray, Senior Lecturer in Film and Visual Culture at Edinburgh College of Art, who will explore the film’s comic subversion of a wide range of well-worn Scottish stereotypes.

Director Bill Forsyth Cast Burt Lancaster, Peter Riegert, Fulton Mackay, Peter Capaldi, UK 1983, 1h49m, some subtitles, PG

The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil

Sunday 10 August (17.00) A dazzling (and enduring topical) reminder that politics can be entertaining – and entertainment can be political. Capitalising on the remarkable popular success of playwright John McGrath’s touring production of the same name, this 1974 television film surveys two centuries of Scottish history from the Battle of Culloden to the coming of North Sea oil. Questions about a small nation’s ability to resist wholesale exploitation at the hands of multinational capital and age-old seats of political privilege have rarely been asked with such passion, historical insight and dramatic skill.

Followed by a panel discussion examining the film’s portrayal of the exploitation of Scottish people.

Director John Mackenzie, Cast John Bett, David MacLennan, Dolina MacLennan, UK 1974, some subtitles, 1h30m, N/C 12+

Trainspotting

Sunday 17 August (17.00) The film that made an entire generation of local cinemagoers dare to think it was all right to be Scottish. A motley crew of junkies trade heroin and low blows in Irvine Welsh’s exuberant memoir of 1980s and early 1990s drug culture in working-class Edinburgh. Rarely can one movie have launched so many top-flight filmmaking careers: some twenty years on, Trainspotting remains a notable high point on the cinematic CVs of director Danny Boyle and actors Robert Carlyle, Kelly Macdonald, Ewan McGregor and Kevin McKidd.

Introduced by Dr Jonny Murray, Senior Lecturer in Film and Visual Culture at Edinburgh College of Art, who will explore the film’s assertion that ‘It’s sh*** being Scottish’.

Director Danny Boyle Cast Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, UK 1996, 1h30m, 18

Your Cheatin’ Heart

Sunday 24 August (13.00–19.30, including intervals) Tickets £10 / £8 concessions

Hardly seen since its first (and to date, only) television broadcast in 1990, and still commercially unavailable on DVD, writer John Byrne’s six-part followup to the much-lauded Tutti Frutti (1987) is the great lost treasure in the history of Scottish television drama. Tilda Swinton, Eddie Reader, Ken Stott and John Gordon Sinclair star in an acutely observed tale of love and criminality in Country-and-Western-obsessed Glasgow, a Western frontier town overrun by Johnstone (as opposed to rhinestone) cowboys.

Director John Byrne Cast John Gordon Sinclair, Tilda Swinton, Ken Stott, UK 1990, 50m, N/C 12+

From Scotland with Love Sunday 31 August (17.00)

Made entirely of Scottish film archive, From Scotland with Love is a feature film by award-winning director Virginia Heath with a transcendent score by Scottish musician and composer King Creosote. A journey into our collective past, the film explores universal themes of love, loss, resistance, migration, work and play. Ordinary people, some long since dead, their names and identities largely forgotten, appear shimmering from the depth of the vaults to take a starring role. Brilliantly edited together, these silent individuals become composite characters, who emerge to tell us their stories, given voice by King Creosote’s poetic music and lyrics.

Followed by a Q&A with director Virginia Heath and composer King Creosote, with King Creosote also playing a couple of tunes live from the film’s soundtrack.

Director Virginia Heath Music King Creosote, UK 2014, 1h15m, suggested rating: N/C 8+

Spring in a Small Town Xiao cheng zhi chun

Sunday 29 June – Tuesday 1 July Cited as a masterpiece ahead of its time, and one of the greatest Chinese films ever, director Fei Mu’s 1948 film is a melancholy drama that explores the tensions between a married woman and her ex-lover.

Sickly Dai Liyan spends most his days swept up in nostalgia for his rich, prosperous past whilst his wife Zhou Yuwen does nothing but silently deliver his daily medication. However, a surprise visit from childhood friend Zhang Zhichen both re-energises the household and brings suppressed longing and despair to the fore.

The screening on Monday 30 June (13.00) will be introduced by independent film director and academic Pieter Van der Houwen, as part of our Century of Chinese Cinema Study Day. Director Fei Mu Cast Wei Wei, Shi Yu, Li Wei, Zhang Hongmei China 1948, 1h38m, subtitles, U

In the Mood for Love Fa yeung nin wa Wednesday 9 July (18.20)

Celebrated director Wong Kar Wai’s beautiful, sumptuous ode to heartbreak and forbidden love is both understated and eye-popping in its visuals and themes. Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung play Mrs Chan and Mr Chow, two neighbouring tenants in a sleepy 1960s Hong Kong, who find solace in one another when they are forced to face the realisation that their respective partners are having an adulterous affair. With Wong Kar-Wai’s uniquely captivating eye for detail, performance and soundtrack, this captivating film launched at Cannes Film Festival 2000 to incredible acclaim and a best actor award for Tony Leung.

When Crown Prince Wu Luan puts himself into self-imposed exile after his emperor father marries the woman he loves, the noblewoman Little Wan, he resolves to a solitary life of study.

Wednesday 23 July (18.15) After suffering pain, humiliation and loss at the merciless hands of the cruel warlord Nan-ba-tian, young peasant housemaid Wu Qionghua escapes with the aid of a dashing communist spy and joins the Red Detachment of Women – a troop of women soldiers who lead a brutal campaign against their dastardly Nationalist foe. Director Xie Jin’s epic war film stands as an important document of pre-revolution China, combining propaganda motifs, gritty realism and an emotional core.

Director Xie Jin Cast Qiang Chen, Niu Tie, Xin-Gang Wang China 1961, 1h50m, subtitles, U

The Story of Qui Ju Qiu ju da guan si Wednesday 30 July (18.00)

When her husband is brutally kicked by a local politician, the pregnant Qiu Ju decides to take legal action with the help of a local magistrate in this comedy-drama focusing on social injustice in early 1990s China.

Unnecessary bureaucracy steadily complicates what seems a fairly simple case of redemptive justice for the unmerited attack as Qiu Ju travels from her small town to the big city. Director Yimou Zhang adopts an unadorned, realistic tone that lets the absurdist situations speak for themselves in this reserved and understated satire.

Director Yimou Zhang Cast Li Gong, Peiqi Liu, Liuchun Yang China/Hong Kong 1992, 1h50m, subtitles, 12A

Red Sorghum Hong gao liang Wednesday 6 August (18.00)

Set in the province of Shandong during the late 1920s and early 1930s, a young woman is forced into an arranged marriage with a leprous wine distillery owner who is many years her senior. After the old man passes, she takes over the distillery and is visited by a man whom she had a previous relationship with. With war on the horizon and the fate of the distillery unsure, this tale is an engaging, romantic and sumptuous portrayal of peasant life in the tumultuous period of China’s history.

This landmark film not only features early work from acclaimed Chinese filmmakers, but also signalled a significant shift in the cultural ideology of the time.

Still Life Sanxia haoren Wednesday 20 August (17.50)

The project involved flooding the area surrounding the Yangtze River – including the two millennia-old city of Fengjie. Following a miner who revisits the area to find his family after a sixteen year absence and a nurse who is attempting to reconnect with her estranged husband, this film is a uniquely meditative interpretation of individual humanity and massive social change.

Aftershock Tang shan da di zhen Wednesday 27 August (17.45)

White swan by day, human by night, the beautiful Odette awaits an oath of true love to break the curse. The great legend of the enigmatic woman/swan is one of the most romantic classical ballets, appropriately set in the era of courtly romance and characterised by elegance, style and harmony. With Tchaikovsky’s famous, lyrical score, Swan Lake depicts the tragic love between Princess Odette and Prince Siegfried, and will no doubt be performed to perfection by the unparalleled virtuosity of Russia’s great Bolshoi Ballet.

This universal and enchanting masterpiece of love, deception and drama is a must.

GLYNDEBOURNE

Glyndebourne: Don Giovanni Recorded: Tuesday 8 July (19.00) £15 full price / £13 conc / £10 CineCard

How many comic operas begin with spine-chilling chords and slithering chromatics in the eerie key of D minor, continue with a cold-blooded murder, and end with the hero’s consignment to hell? Don Giovanni slinks restlessly between comedy and tragedy.

3h30m, PG

Glyndebourne: La Traviata Live: Sunday 10 August (17.30) £20 full price / £15 conc / £13 CineCard

At one of her brilliant supper parties, the beautiful but frail demi-mondaine, Violetta Valéry, meets the well-born Alfredo Germont, and for love of him abandons her feverish life of pleasure. A beautifully moving realisation of Verdi’s opera, this performance is both tragic and life affirming.

Love’s Labour’s Lost

Love’s Labour’s Won

As part of a season marking the centenary of the First World War, Christopher Luscombe returns to the Royal Shakespeare Company to direct a fresh pairing of two of Shakespeare’s most sparkling comedies, set in a splendid country house just before and just after the war. In Love’s Labour’s Lost, the mischievous Rosaline tests Berowne’s resolve in the summer of 1914. However, the merriment is curtailed when the lovers agree to part, unaware the world is about to be transformed by war.

Love’s Labour’s Won begins four years after Love’s Labour’s Lost with a world-weary Benedick and Claudio returning from the trenches to a post-war house party, where Claudio falls in love with Hero and Benedick reignites his altogether more combative courtship with Beatrice. Youthful passions run riot before peace ultimately breaks out. Usually known as Much Ado About Nothing, this RSC production welcomes the return of Edward Bennett and Michelle Terry, who will play the lovers in both plays.
