16 Aug 19 26 Sep 19 16 AUG 19 26 SEP 19 1 | 16 AUG 19 - 26 SEP 19 49 BELMONT STREET | BELMONTFILMHOUSE.COM It’s amazing to think that in the last intro I rather skited over Once Upon A Time... in Hollywood. It was released on the second last day of the July/August schedule. It’s not that it became an afterthought... there were just so many other films to write about. A common problem here! In this brochure, it begins its first full week of release. A few more weeks of hype has allowed Twitter to dissolve into reappraisals of Tarantino’s back catalogue, which can only suggest one thing - Once Upon A Time... in Hollywood might be worth the hype, especially if you are shuffling around the likes of Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction to accommodate it in QT’s Top 5. If your memory needs refreshing or you have a few you’ve not yet managed to see, we’re hosting a Tarantino mini-season in Kino Bar with four of his own, plus two he gave away, From Dusk Till Dawn and Natural Born Killers. Pain and Glory marks the return of another director with a long legacy, Pedro Almodóvar, and his semi-autobiographical film sees a terrific Antonio Banderas plays an aging film director in creative malaise, reflecting upon his life, career and memories. We’ve also got a few outrageously interesting documentaries this month. Stand-outs include Hail Satan?, in which ‘Satanists’ rally for progressive values and the separation of Church and State in the USA; Gaza, a deeply moving film documenting normal lives in a distinctly un-normal, war-torn state; and the film nerd’s dream Memory: The Origins of Alien. Naturally, we’re also showing Alien again to accompany. Trust us, it still looks absolutely glorious on the big screen. Edinburgh International Film Festival’s Closing Night film Mrs Lowry and Son arrives with us, with a stirring turn from Timothy Spall as L.S. Lowry and Vanessa Redgrave remarkable as his mother. Also fresh from EIFF is Joanna Hogg’s (Exhibition, Archipelago) new film The Souvenir, starring Honor Swinton Byrne and her mother (Tilda). It is picking up rave reviews. I also want to mention Mark Jenkin’s brilliant oddity Bait, shot on 16mm, set in Cornwall, it looks very much a ‘50s British kitchen sink drama, but with more modern problems - ‘“like FW Murnau directing an episode of Eastenders” was one pundit’s comment, and it doesn’t get more intriguing than that. Set in a fishing community too - I, for one, am hooked. I’ve only scratched the surface of this bumper August/September edition - read on and explore...

Quentin Tarantino’s ninth feature film is a fun-filled tapestry of stories set in the summer of 1969 - the height of ‘hippy Hollywood’. Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) - the former star of a western TV series - and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) are both struggling to find their feet again in a Tinseltown they no longer recognise. But Rick does have a very famous neighbour - Valley of the Dolls star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie)... A cinephile’s dream, Tarantino’s comedic 1960s Hollywood odyssey is packed with iconic figures and studio hijinks - awash with his signature irreverent style. “This is a retro tour de force inhabiting a fully realised world of popular culture - TV, movies, pop music and yes, pulp fiction.” ««««« - The Times NEW RELEASE NEW RELEASE BLINDED by THE LIGHT Transit Fri 9 to Thu 22 Aug Fri 16 to Thu 22 Aug Gurinder Chadha • UK 2019 • 1h54m • Digital • 12A - Contains racist Christian Petzold • Germany/France 2018 • 1h42m • Digital • German, language and behaviour, moderate bad language. • Cast: Viveik French and French Sign Language with English subtitles • 12A - Kalra, Kulvinder Ghir, Meera Ganatra, Nell Williams, Aaron Phagura.

  • Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL: VOL
    Presents QUENTIN TARANTINO’S DEATH PROOF Only at the Grindhouse Final Production Notes as of 5/15/07 International Press Contacts: PREMIER PR (CANNES FILM FESTIVAL) THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Matthew Sanders / Emma Robinson Jill DiRaffaele Villa Ste Hélène 5700 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600 45, Bd d’Alsace Los Angeles, CA 90036 06400 Cannes Tel: 323 207 3092 Tel: +33 493 99 03 02 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] From the longtime collaborators (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, FOUR ROOMS, SIN CITY), two of the most renowned filmmakers this summer present two original, complete grindhouse films packed to the gills with guns and guts. Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF is a white knuckle ride behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer’s roving, revving, racing death machine. Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR is a heart-pounding trip to a town ravaged by a mysterious plague. Inspired by the unique distribution of independent horror classics of the sixties and seventies, these are two shockingly bold features replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem. The impetus for grindhouse films began in the US during a time before the multiplex and state-of- the-art home theaters ruled the movie-going experience. The origins of the term “Grindhouse” are fuzzy: some cite the types of films shown (as in “Bump-and-Grind”) in run down former movie palaces; others point to a method of presentation -- movies were “grinded out” in ancient projectors one after another. Frequently, the movies were grouped by exploitation subgenre. Splatter, slasher, sexploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal and mondo movies would be grouped together and shown with graphic trailers.

  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.
