3 LATE SHOW 8.5 Hours
N. Ireland Premiere
Drama - 112 min Instigator Films, Brian Lally, Ireland, July 2008 Starring Geraldine Plunkett (Glenroe)
‘8.5 Hours’ is a complex portrayal of a working day that has extraordinary implications for the four characters - FRIDAY their lives linked by virtue of sharing an office. Focusing on the pressures of these characters on one day, the film aims to chronicle the winding down of Ireland’s boom years, a period of extraordinary opportunity for many but also a time of lost opportunities for some and an undercurrent of regret permeates throughout the film. Each of the characters experiences a series of events that changes their lives, some events influenced by the other characters where their paths intersect, others occurring almost independently and lived out in the character’s own private thoughts as they recall events in their past which still haunt them. Each of the four characters has a story, all of which are ultimately resolved by the end of the working day, 9am to 5.30pm, the 8.5 hours of the title. www.instigatorfilms.com

10 FEATURE Nobody’s Fool
Dir: Robert Benton, USA, 1994,110 minutes, Cert 15 Starring: Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy, Melanie Griffith, Bruce Willis
“Around North Bath, upstate New York, Don ‘Sully’ Sullivan (Newman) is notorious as something of a wastrel. He left his family years ago, he’s not averse to a spot of petty crime - especially in his run-ins with construction boss Carl (Willis), with whose wife (Griffith) Sully has a barely platonic relationship - and his cronies include the town idiot and a one-legged lawyer who’s never won Sully a case. Only his landlady (Tandy)
really believes in him. Still, Sully is a die-hard optimist, SATURDAY and when his estranged son and grandson turn up, a chance arises to make amends to his family. “Benton’s quietly superb adaptation of Richard Russo’s novel is one of those movies you thought they didn’t make any more. It succeeds on several levels: as a wry hymn to community and long-term familiarity, a Hawksian fable about responsibility, an elegiac portrait of an endangered way of American life, and a quixotic celebration of unfounded optimism as embodied in Newman’s supremely easy playing.” - ‘Time Out Film Guide’

Gerard Depardieu stars as the naive city-dweller who dreams of turning his inherited farm in Provence into a pastoral idyll. The land holds a valuable spring but wily neighbours, Yves Montand and his simple son Daniel Auteuil, have stopped it up, waiting for the time Depardieu’s dreams fail and he is forced to sell up. SUNDAY
“It’s beautifully shot and acted - the leisurely pace gives a superb overview of slow-moving village life while exposing the unpleasantness beneath and drawing superb performances from everybody, in particular Depardieu. Beautiful but brutal, Jean De Florette makes for unforgettable viewing.” - Film 4
