As I’m sure most of you are aware… it is, or is soon to be, 2019! And, as I’m sure at least a few of you are aware, that’s us now in the year in which Blade Runner is set. That gives us twelve months to witness attack ships off the shoulder of Orion or watch C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate for that film’s predictions to be realised. Unlikely I know, but perhaps it will all come to pass some time after the year it was conjectured as a possible future, you know, like 1984 did… There is actually a proper reason for mentioning Blade Runner, for it will take its place as part of a four-month season we’re doing in partnership with the National Museum of Scotland (where the film will screen) to tie in with their awesome ‘Robots’ exhibition, which will kick off this month with a special screening of Fritz Lang’s silent masterpiece, Metropolis, with DJ soundtrack by Le Vangelis (no, not The Vangelis). So, the museum has a replica of Maria, the robot in the film, and we have the film! (Wait a minute, didn’t The Vangelis do the score for Blade Runner? Oh, the weird interconnectedness of things…) In other news, this Jan/Feb double issue is so bung-fu’ of Oscar hopefuls I’m not sure where to start! Watch these titles figure hugely come the time:The Favourite, Stan & Ollie, Colette, Beautiful Boy, Mary Queen of Scots, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Green Book, If Beale Street Could Talk… Because this is a double issue, I would normally get to guess the Oscar winners with the knowledge of who’s nominated, but this year I’m going to have to do it stone cold. Here goes, with the usual heart over head: Roma will win best film and best director, and there will be acting Oscars for Glenn Close, John C. Reilly, Rachel Weisz and Richard E. Grant – if there’s any justice in this world whatever, that is. Rod White, Head of Programming Filmhouse Explorer BUY A TICKET FOR...
