FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT

HOME OF THE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL One man’s remake; another man’s reimagining…

When I first heard that Sir Kenny Branagh was remaking Sydney Lumet’s 1973 apogee of the All-Star Cast film vehicle (or, perhaps, as he might prefer, reimagining of the 1934 Agatha Christie novel) Murder on the Orient Express, I confess I did pause to consider the wisdom of doing so, from the point of view of potential audience member, given that much of the enjoyment of a whodunnit is finding out who indeed did do it, and if you know that already, well… Which got me thinking about films I’ve watched more than once for which it could be said the destination is at least as important as the journey, and of the number of times I have been heard to say: “I know I’ve seen this, but I can’t remember for the life of me what happens at the end!” (With a memory like mine, whodunnits are the gift that keeps on giving...) Then I remembered how much I enjoyed watching TV’s And Then There Were None from a couple of years back, even though I had not forgotten that it was - SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! - the old Judge wot done it. And whatever happened to the All-Star ensemble film that once seemed so prevalent? Could it be that with how much these big names get paid these days – however unfairly split across the sexes – few can afford to make them!?

Beyond MOTOE, from 3 Novmeber we have a very special engagement with David Lean’s classic/epic Lawrence of Arabia screening in a brand new and glorious 70mm print; Call Me By Your Name, which you really should not miss, continues; and I’d heartily recommend you catch as Gloria Grahame in Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool, Armando Iannucci’s often supremely funny The Death of Stalin and Yorgos (The Lobster) Lanthimos’ The Killing of a Sacred Deer; and our annual French Film Festival returns, marking, wait for it, its first quarter century…

Zut alors!

David Lean • UK/USA 1962 • 3h48m • 70mm • PG • Cast: Peter O’Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Omar Sharif, José Ferrer, Anthony Quayle.

A brand new 70mm print of of David Lean’s magnificent epic - a real cinema treat at Filmhouse! During the First World War, a British officer (Peter O’Toole) succeeds in uniting the Arab tribes and goes to war against the occupying Turkish army. Grand in every sense, Lawrence of Arabia is an example of an established director full of confidence and ambition. Nearly four hours long, several years in the making, and complete with an interval and its own overture, the film aims for greatness and achieves it. Peter O’Toole, then the new boy among international stars (including Alec Guinness as a shrewd Prince Feisal and Jack Hawkins as the calculating General Allenby) gives a wonderfully charismatic performance as the enigmatic Lawrence, and that other star of the film - the desert - is magnificently captured in all its immensity. All screenings of Lawrence of Arabia on 70mm will include a 15 minute interval. There is an additional £2 charge for 70mm. The Wages of Fear/Sorcerer/Herzog of the Month

A fun and hectic tale of peculiar people finding love while lost in the City of Light.

When Fiona’s orderly life is disrupted by a letter of distress from her 88-year-old Aunt Martha (delightfully portrayed by the late Emmanuelle Riva, Oscar- nominated for Amour) who is living in Paris, she hops on the first plane she can. She arrives only to discover that Martha has disappeared. In an avalanche of spectacular disasters, she encounters Dom (Abel), the affable, but annoying tramp who just won’t leave her alone.
