...are, miraculously, all contained within the 56 pages of this programme. (Though, admittedly, if you want to know anything about the aforementioned film festival beyond simply its dates, you’ll need to go to www.edfilmfest.org.uk on or after 10am on the 23 May!)
Yes, it’s our annual Bumper [early] Summer Double Issue, packed with more films than I care to mention (again). There’s a lot in it for sure. It’s a bit daunting, I know. Take it slow. Take an hour. Savour it, one page of great films at a time. There’s so much in it, I had to apologise to the staff for giving them so much work to do. But, don’t tell them, I couldn’t really care less… your cinematic pleasure comes first! (It’s OK, they think that too.) But, it’s like the fella said, quantity is never a substitute for quality – that’s why we’ve got that covered too. You will, of course, want to find that out for yourself…
We’re entering the second half of our significant Bergman retro (that is, Ingmar), and I’m very hopeful we can continue attracting such healthy audiences (though one or two of you did look a little peaky, if I’m honest) as the season progresses. So far audience numbers have been very encouraging indeed. Also inside is a timely season of films dealing with events in Europe in 1968, our Sergio Leone retro concludes, British New Wave mainstay Woodfall Films are celebrated, G.W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box gets reissued (and we’ve thrown in a few others of his as well), 40 Years of Filmhouse countdown to 1978 hits the golden years of 1999 to 1992, sax legend Tommy Smith takes up the programming reins as our latest House Guest, and our Italian Film Festival returns in its 25th edition! And I’ve not even mentioned any of the new releases – Lean on Pete, On Chesil Beach, Edie, Jeune Femme, Redoubtable, Filmworker, That Summer, Studio 54…

Rod Stieger and James Coburn star in this Mexican Revolution-set caper about an Irish explosives expert (Coburn) who is coerced by mercenary Juan Miranda (Stieger) to help him blast into a bank - an act that inadvertently makes them both heroes of the Revolution. Leone’s sly wit and attention to detail shine through once again, and with Morricone also on board there’s a case to be made for A Fistful of Dynamite (or the much preferable Duck, You Sucker) being one of Leone’s most entertaining films.

Whether that’s ‘folk’ as a living tradition, as people’s history, as working class /subaltern culture, as political movement or as a ‘come-all-ye’ sense of community, the Folk Film Gathering will explore how cinema has engaged with different notions of folk in the course of world history.
Our programme of folk cinema this year centres upon ‘a sense of place’; showcasing films from Scotland, England, Italy, France, Alaska and Scandinavia, which explore deep connections between the experiences of communities and the landscapes in which they live. Each screening this TICKET Offer (see Page 15) year will be introduced with a live traditional arts performance.

1998 Funny Games Wed 16 May at 1.30pm & 6.00pm
Michael Haneke • Austria 1997 • 1h49m • 35mm • German and French with English subtitles • 18 • Cast: Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe.
Ostensibly, this is another of the family in peril flicks, a genre which we know we have seen over and over again to the point that we know the rules and regulations by heart. But here Haneke asks what is the drive that keeps us skewered to our seats in the dark when up on screen others are being skewered. Though importantly, in Funny Games, we witness nothing graphic. The camera lingers on the participants faces to register the horror and in that we might wriggle with the tension of whether we are going to be allowed a peep too. And Haneke plays on that sickeningly clammy, but addictive suspense right from the start, pushing us all to observe with a sense of shivery, sterile detachment, with the film taking a few stunning formal turns that underscore this. A moral maze with a cerebral centre, Funny Games is not easily forgotten. - Lizzie Francke Matinee: £2.90/£1.60, Evening: £4.90/£3.60
1997 The English Patient Tue 22 May at 2.15pm & 5.40pm
Anthony Minghella • USA 1996 • 2h42m • 35mm • English, German, Italian and Arabic with English subtitles • 15 - Contains strong language, violence and moderate sex • Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Kristin Scott Thomas, Naveen Andrews, Colin Firth.
From their green, damp, congested homelands, Europeans come to the North African desert and fall in love - as if into quicksand - with the dry vastness. Like T.E. Lawrence, they are awed by the womanly contours of the great desert dune. Soon their faces are bronzed, their limbs burnished, their hair bleached, until they are the colour of sand. These nomads-by-choice have become the Sahara. The English Patient, the keenly rapturous film that Anthony Minghella has made of Michael Ondaatje’s novel, burrows into these feelings even as it flies above them like a plane full of surveyors. This is a big film, serious and voluptuous. It hopscotches through time, from 1937 to 1944, and over two continents. It probes issues of betrayal and forgiveness. It borrows Lawrence of Arabia’s epic intellect for a tale of potent romance.

La cérémonie Judgement in Stone Tue 29 May at 1.10pm & 6.15pm
Claude Chabrol • France/Germany 1995 • 1h52m • 35mm • French with English subtitles • 18 • Cast: Sandrine Bonnaire, Jacqueline Bisset, Isabelle Huppert, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Virginie Ledoyen.
Chabrol is in fine form in this very successful adaptation of Ruth Rendell’s thriller. Sophie (Sandrine Bonnaire) is Madame Lelievre’s new housekeeper and a wonderful addition to the household. Jeanne is the village postmistress. Both, we discover, have a past which is best hidden, but, where Sophie is silent and distant, Jeanne (Isabelle Huppert) is extrovert, pushy and decidedly anti the family in the manor house. The friend- ship between these two outsiders in French provincial life begins to bubble and Chabrol’s unhurried enun- ciation of character, incident and class is superb in its subtlety. Inevitably the friendship of the two women begins to intrude on the good running of the Lelievre household, ending in a bizarre and unexpected finale. Terrific stuff. - Sheila Whitaker, LFF programme. Matinee: £2.20/£1.50, Evening: £4.20/£3.50
1995 La Reine Margot Sun 3 Jun at 2.00pm
Patrice Chéreau • France/Italy/Germany 1994 • 2h25m • Digital • French and Italian with English subtitles • 18 • Cast: Isabelle Adjani, Daniel Auteuil, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Vincent Perez, Virna Lisi.
Patrice Chéreau’s sumptuous historical drama, which centres on the intrigues to the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacres, work best as a thundering good yarn, full of dastardly plots, familial hatred, ill-starred romance, and lashings of gore. Basically, the complex storyline charts the rivalry between Catholics and Huguenots at the time of the arranged marriage of Henri of Navarre (Daniel Auteuil) to Margot (Isabelle Adjani), sister of Henri III of France and daughter of Catherine de Medici, who rules her depraved clan with a will of iron. It’s spectacular to look at, enhanced by Chéreau’s imaginative use of music and performed with considerable brio by the starry cast. £4.00/£3.20 34 | 4 MAY 18 - 5 JUL 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSEcinema.COM 40 Years of Filmhouse Years 40
1994 The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert Wed 13 Jun at 1.20pm & 6.10pm
Stephan Elliott • Australia 1994 • 1h43m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong language, sex references and threat. Cast: Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, Bill Hunter, Sarah Chadwick.
A pink coach rushes through Australia’s red desert to the sound of Verdi. Standing on the roof is an outrageously dressed creature - her long silk train flapping defiantly over the bleak landscape. A cross-pover cross-dressing comedy, Stephan Elliot’s brash, liberating and poignant road-movie follows three drag queens as they risk laddered stockings, damaged nails and bruised egos by driving Priscilla - their tastefully converted bus - from Sydney to a mystery gig in the armpit of Australia, Alice Springs. ‘Le Girls’ in question are ageing Bernadette (Terence Stamp), sharp tongued Felicia (ex-Neighbours star Guy Pearce) and sensitive flower Mimi (Hugo Weaving from Proof), and this visually extraordinary, aurally offensive celebration of campness takes them where no lip-synching queens have ever been before.

Krzysztof Kieslowski • France/Poland/Switzerland/UK 1993 • 1h38m • Digital • French, Romanian and Polish with English subtitles • 15 Cast: Juliette Binoche, Benoît Régent, Florence Pernel, Charlotte Véry, Hélène Vincent.
Following the Polish director’s highly acclaimed Dekalog and The Double Life of Veronique, Krzysztof Kieslowski’s new project is a trilogy of feature length films. In the first filmBlue , a psychological drama, Julie (Juliette Binoche) loses her husband Patrice, a composer, and their young daughter Anna in a car accident. Julie tries to begin a new life, anonymous, independent, cutting herself off from her friends, love and music - everything she had in abundance before but now has lost. A music journalist suspects Julie of being the author of her husband’s work. Julie denies it, perhaps a bit too abruptly... Step by step, we follow Julie’s life as she avoids the traps which threaten her new freedom. Music and the gift to create it is the trap into which Julie finally falls.

1992 Howards End Mon 2 Jul at 6.00pm
James Ivory • UK/Japan/USA 1992 • 2h20m • Digital • English and German with English subtitles • PG - Contains mild sex references, infrequent mild violence. • Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Vanessa Redgrave, Helena Bonham Carter, Joseph Bennett, Emma Thompson.
This is the third Merchant/Ivory/E.M. Forster adaptation, and by far their best: visually charming as expected, finely detailed, mature and well cast... It is a tale of conflicting values, the Schlegel family versus the Wilcoxes. The former care about civilised living, music, literature and conversation, whereas the latter are concered with the business side of life, distrusting emotion and imagination - Marcin Miller, City Limits. Howards End is not a celebratory, nostalgic film: on the contrary, like E. M. Forster’s source novel, it’s a complex, unsentimental, intellectually meaty piece. And while its debates are of their period (1910), you’re constantly reminded of how topical and contested they continue to be. - The Independent £2.50/£2.00

If.... is a British classic. Malcolm McDowell heads the cast as Mick, a teenager who leads his classmates in a revolution against the stifling conformity of boarding school. Anderson captures the spirit of youthful rebellion beautifully, linking it with the sweeping political changes that were dominating headlines through the photos of Mao, Che Guevara, and Vietnam that adorn the walls. Indeed, as the playground revolution slowly kicks into gear, the film itself begins to disintegrate - switching between colour and sepia and the narrative becoming increasingly elliptical, as reality and fantasy merge. 1968

Paris, 1967. Five students, led by Veronique (Anne Wiazemsky) and Guillaume (Jean-Pierre Léaud), spend their summer vacation holed up in an apartment borrowed from a friend’s wealthy parents. They spend their time studying political texts, delivering lectures to each other, and discussing how they can apply the teachings of Mao Tse-tung to their own lives. After reading a series of texts advocating violence in the cause of revolution, the group agree to carry out a political assassination.

Louis Malle’s homage to those pleasures we think of as particularly French takes place in the month that the revolution seemed poised to overthrow bourgeois society in Paris. In the country though, it was quieter, and this wonderfully mellow yet spirited film takes place on a small family farm. The recently departed matriarch, much loved and also feared, ruled the household. Her children have moved away - all except for Milou, a genial man who likes to go fishing and ride his bicycle. As the clan gathers for her funeral, Milou’s world teeters as precariously on the edge of revolution as the rest of the country...

An elegant narrative of moral musical chairs, Pabst’s last silent film not only plays on who holds what kind of legitimate place in society, but is also a starkly direct view of inter-war Germany. Feasting the camera on Brooks’ striking beauty, Pabst follows the adventures of innocence led astray in the shape of Thymian, a pharmacist’s daughter. Her progress from apple of her father’s eye, through sexual lapse and approved school, to darling of an expensive brothel and finally to dowager countess, gives Pabst the opportunity to measure the Germany of the Weimar republic against Brooks’ embodiment of a vitality so exuberant that it equals innocence.
