No point queuing in the rain to seethings first. Being first, so what?It took 10 months for The Artist to

get here after seeing it at Cannes last year,and not allowed to spoil it by talking aboutit! This year, I went to soak up the streetcafes, the wine, food, the glam andatmosphere; and I got soaked. That 16hours a day cold windy rain we had inJune, started with my weekend in Cannes!Still, Bill Murray greeted me like an old

friend. I opened a door for Jane Fonda,eyes averted and expecting a tip (I didn’tgive her one).I watched Tom Hardy cream all overJessica Chastain, ‘shared’ breakfast withIrving Welsh (well, same dining room).Saw Ben Stiller and François Cluzet (tiny)on the red carpet, just missed running intoa very big hero… Mathieu Amalric. Couldhave got a great shot of Mads Mikkelsonbut chose the wrong side of the tape. And

This teapot seen recently on an innocent Oxfam shelf, is the first ornamental artwork Ihad noticed with health & safety at its heart. Included in the design is the word ‘HOT’repeated on the lid and belly of the pot. Perhaps we hadn’t noticed, after 600 years, tea-for-two is dangerous too? Thank heavens they warned us in time.‘Drink me… straight from the spout’ just wouldn’t do?

Just managed to avoid witnessingher crushing disappointment by getting farenough along the Croissette before shewould realise – it wasn’t ‘him’?My children came out, we caught onelovely warm festival evening together,then it rained. Still we bought umbrellas,dodged the cold and had fun. Left alonefor the last day, I caught the bus to Monte

Carlo. Leaving a torrential Cannes, only toreach Monaco an hour later in glorioussunshine. In three layers, a mac, umbrellaand cap, I got off in Europe’s richest, mostglamourous capital. Someone said itlooked like I was on a ‘care in thecommunity’ outing, standing there on therace circuit with the casino in thebackground. I didn’t care.

Born Allan Stewart Konigsberg in theBronx in 1931, Woody Allen is one of thegreatest living directors. The neuroticNew Yorker is responsible for suchfabulous films as Annie Hall, Manhattan,Hannah and Her Sisters, etc and now a Rexfavourite, Midnight in Paris. Directed by Robert B Weide, this hilarious,engrossing, documentary chroniclesWoody’s humble beginnings as a comedywriter, stand up comic in GreenwichVillage, and finally, the director we allknow, equally loved and not so.A tediously long queue of talking headsfrom all eras of Woody’s life pop up toshare anecdotes about him: Diane Keaton,Larry David, Scarlett Johansson, MartinScorsese, and the rest. Perhaps moreinterestingly, Allen himself featuresprominently in the picture, walkingthrough New York regaling anecdotes fromhis childhood, and showing off his half-century old typewriter in his modestapartment. “Allen is in fine, funny, frank, self-disparaging form, there are fascinatingrevelations on every aspect of his life, well-chosen extracts from his films and TVinterviews…” (Observer)“There is more to Woody Allen: ADocumentary than its modest titlesuggests, although perhaps not quiteenough to justify swapping that ‘a’ for‘the’.” eh? (Telegraph) (research [andhelpful lists] Simon Messenger) (So muchWoody-in-a-good-light feels like he couldhave made this himself?) You decide.

Back, not so much by demand, ascommand. Still, this harmless film istaken from Paul Torday’s wildlysuccessful novel, and directed by LasseHallström (What’s Eating GilbertGrape, Chocolat), Salmon Fishing in theYemen is a charming romantic comedy.Britain’s leading fisheries expert AlfredJones (McGregor) is called upon by ayoung consultant Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (Blunt) to fulfil a wealthy Yemenisheikh’s dream of introducing salmonfishing to the Arab nation. Jones rejectsthe eccentric notion, however when thePrime Minister’s press secretary PatriciaMaxwell (Scott Thomas) gets wind of theconcept, the potential lure of furtheringUK/Arab relations, proves too great.Thus, Jones is pressured intospearheading the project. Can the three ofthem help fulfil the sheikh’s absurddream? Is it so absurd…?Oscar-winning screenwriter SimonBeaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) does asolid job of adapting Torday’s charmingbook, and McGregor plays the sociallyawkward fisherman in his own voice, fora change.“Hallström wheels out the ‘swimmingagainst the tide’ visual metaphor once toooften, and there’s some drop-off in pacetowards the end. But this isn’t half asgooey as one might expect...” (Guardian)(SM) Surprisingly easy to watch, withsome great one-liners, and a gift for KScott-Thomas in the Malcolm Tucker role.

Certificate: 12ADuration: 94 mins Origin: USA 2012By: Universal Pictures (UK) Ltd

Written and directed by Wes Anderson,Moonrise Kingdom is a quirky, retro,quasi-coming-of-age tale. 1965, New England. At a Khaki Scoutsummer camp, an exceptionally skilledscout, and eccentric loner, Sam (JardenGilman) goes missing. He has run awaywith local girl Suzy (Kara Hayward). The two having fallen in love; much to thechagrin of her parents Walt and Laura(Bill Murray, Frances McDormand). As various authorities; scout master Ward(Edward Norton), police captain Sharp(Bruce Willis) and social services (TildaSwinton) join the hunt for the missingchildren, a violent hurricane begins toform off the coast of their small NewEngland island…Wes Anderson’s heavily stylised,immaculately conceived direction makesMoonrise Kingdom an exceptional film. A glorious soundtrack, predominantly byAndre Desplat, but which also makesexcellent use of Benjamin Britten’s YoungPerson’s Guide To The Orchestra, workswonderfully as we recall, with Sam andSuzy, the excitement and adventure of firstlove. It’s fun, fey and utterly charming. “Anderson’s homemade aesthetic is placedat the service of a counter-digital, almosthand-drawn cinema, and he has anextraordinary ability to conjure adistinctive universe, entire of itself. To some, Moonrise Kingdom may benothing more than a souffle ofstrangeness, but it rises superbly.”(Guardian) (Simon Messenger)

It’s been a whole decade since the ETbusting secret agents hung up theirspace guns and now here we are with athird chapter no one really wanted. Thegood news? It’s a galactic step up fromthe lightweight sequel.Beardy alien fugitive Boris the Animal(Flight of the Conchords’ JermaineClement) has a bone to pick with ageingAgent K (T Lee Jones) for pastgrievances that have left him bitter. Boris succeeds in erasing K fromexistence via time travel means, leavingpartner Agent J (Smith) jumping back to1969 to warn a younger K (Brolin) fromthe future threat, and of course, save theworld.The perfect casting of Brolin as K’syounger self is MiB3’s ace in the hole –mimicking Jones right down to thesouthern drawl, squint and deadpandelivery. Their chemistry gives a muchneeded jolt to genre trial & error such asthis, and it pays off in spades.“It’s like a cross between Looney Tunesand The Naked Lunch, a hallucinogenicpopcorn movie you can safely forget amoment later.” (Guardian)It’s passable fluff, light on sci-fi, light oncomedy, heavy on grotesque alien effects(all credit to monster make-up legendRick Baker) and reminds us why weflock to the cinemas over summer. (JackWhiting) Flock Jack…?


Back on a Saturday by overwhelmingdemand, it traces Marley’s life andcareer from his childhood as afatherless mixed-race farmboy in ruralJamaica, through his wild adolescenceon the mean streets of Kingston’sTrenchtown slum, all the way to histragically early death at 36. Marley doesn’t stray from the familiarrags-to-riches music documentary format,mixing interviews, archive material,concert broadcasts and new footage ofkey locations in the story – and somefabulous faces early on chuckling throughtheir own patoir commentary. We hear how he inspired many as aRastafarian prophet, yet his peace’n’loveimage is complicated by accounts of his“competitive” streak and domesticshortcomings, the latter expressed bycheated-on wife Rita and painfullyneglected daughter Cedella.“While Kevin Macdonald (Touching theVoid) has nothing but praise for Marleyas a musician and political figurehead, heis perfectly willing to lay out the barefacts, for us to judge for ourselves. It’s enough to win over those who are notfans of his music. Such an honest depiction can onlycontribute to a deeper appreciation of thisremarkable icon.” (Time Out)“Every second is earned in Macdonald’slong, generous and rigorously detailedBob doc. You might wish for more livematerial but what’s here is stirring,probing and moving.” (Total Film). Don’t miss

Directed by Richard Press, BillCunningham New York is a warm andcharming portrait of the nowoctogenarian fashion photographer andcultural anthropologist, BillCunningham. With only his trusty Schwinn bicycle forcompany, Cunningham has beendocumenting fashion in New York City fordecades, practically inventing the conceptof “street style” i.e. shooting ‘ordinary’,non-catwalk model folk as they go abouttheir nattily dressed business. Cunningham himself is an eccentric -living in a tiny one bedroom apartmentwhich is filled with boxes and filingcabinets full of his photographs. Thewarmth and affection felt for him is madeclear by the film’s talking heads – an arrayof high fashion folk, including thefamously reticent and icy editor of Vogue,Anna Wintour, who remarks “We all getdressed for Bill”. So come along dressedfor Bill, and The Rex of course. There’salways a camera and/or photographer onhand…!“He was the first, and what’s obvious fromthis lively and engaging documentary, anoriginal.” (Time Out) “This affectionate documentary celebratesthe veteran photographer who, at 84, stillworks a tough schedule, taking photos onthe street of real people wearing realfashion.” (Guardian)(Simon Messenger) A beautiful film abouta beautiful man’s beautiful pictures…Don’t miss.

A thirty foot, three tongreat white tin bath of a shark.Now, four decades later, just when youthought it was safe to back to your seat,Spielberg’s aquatic monstrosity turns upat The Rex in a terrifyingly pristinedigital scrub.Based on Peter Benchley’s novel, Jaws’set-up couldn’t be simpler; a local sheriffBrody (Scheider) a body washed up apeaceful Amity Island, a potential sharkthreat, a Chamber control mayor (MurrayHamilton), ignores his warnings, to keepthe tourist beaches open for business.Cue screams, blood and shredded lilos.Brody gathers a motley crew of hombres;a marine biologist Hooper (Dreyfuss) andgrizzled old shark hunter Quint (Shaw) tofind the beast.“Jaws is a perfect blend of set-pieces andstory, its formula so hard to capture it’snow near-mythical. Filmmakers havebeen chasing it ever since.” (Total Film)Together with John Williams’ nowlegendary score, Spielberg and co. tookwhat should have been b-movie andturned it into a cinematic masterpiece. Itsteeth marks are still felt to this day. (JackWhiting) Best of all; Spielberg insisted onreal sea locations, which accounted forsome unforgettable boat improvisations,and Quint’s unforgettable drunken duskcabin song.

After being caught by the Gestapo,young Algerian immigrant Younes(Rahim) is threatened with deportationunless he can infiltrate a Parisianmosque, blacklisted as a Resistancehotspot. But he proves to be a lousy informant andis cut loose by the investigating Naziofficer, and inexplicably left to walk free?“Viewing the period from the perspectiveof North African immigrants in Paris is afresh angle, but director Ismaël Ferroukhifails to communicate much of the fear andparanoia of living in an occupied city.”(Time Out)There are gaps to be filled in second-world-war history, and this is one: the roleof North Africans in the FrenchResistance. Free Men takes the form of asemi-fictionalised thriller, headed byTahar Rahim, who so impressed in AProphet. He’s more profiteer here: an immigrantwheeler-dealer in occupied Paris, forcedby the Gestapo to spy on the city’smosque. Headed by a magnificentlyhangdog Michael Lonsdale, the mosque issuspected of issuing false papersidentifying Jews as Muslims. “The realities of war and his own ethnicidentity induce a change of heart in him,though it’s often difficult to rememberthere’s a war on, the period is so sketchilyevoked. The tension doesn’t grip as itshould, but it’s a worthwhile reminder of amoment of Muslim-Jewish co-operation.”(Guardian) Come for Tahar Rahim.

We’ve been given two Snow Whitefilms in as many months and whilstMirror Mirror happily indulged in itsown silliness, and had Julia Robertsswanning around in goofy costumes;Hunstman on the other hand is analtogether darker, more Middle Earthyaffair.“Kristen Stewart plays Snow White, thedaughter of a benevolent king who’sbumped off by his maniacal man-hatingwife, Ravenna (Charlize Theron), aka theWicked Queen. Fleeing to the DarkForest, Snow White makes theacquaintance of the Huntsman (Thor’sChris Hemsworth), a rough-diamondloner with a dark past and a terribleGlaswegian accent. Pretty average so far. But then the dwarfsturn up, and the true horror begins.Wait, that’s not Bob Hoskins is it? And itcan’t possibly be… Ray Winstone? But itis – and Toby Jones, Ian McShane, NickFrost, and Eddie Marsan, too. The creamof British acting talent has been digitallyshrunken and saddled with haircuts thatmake them look like a midget Sladetribute band.” (Time Out)The film’s saving grace then, is Theron,her malevolent, bitter and deliciouslybitchy queen is a welcome antidote to thegallant yet dull nature of our devil-may-care heroes. Fantasy is still enjoying itsrenaissance thanks to the success of theRings trilogy, but Huntsman isn’t goingto usurp Peter Jackson any time soon.(Jack Whiting)


Julie Delpy writes and directs in thiscross-cultural farce; a sequel of sorts to2007’s biting comedy Two Days inParis. Following the not so bitingBefore (& After) Sunrise: 2004.Delpy reprises her role as Marion; aslightly unstable, intellectual late 30something photographer. Having movedfrom Paris to New York, she’s happilyshacked up with DJ/writer Mingus (ChrisRock) both have children from previousrelationships. The ‘two days’ refer to thehilarious, culture-clashing visit ofMarion’s family, her mad father (playedby her real father, Albert), sister Rose(Alexia Landeau) and her irritatingboyfriend Manu (Alexandre Nahon). Whilst it’s fair to say the film derives alot of its humour from poking fun at theFrench (and what’s wrong with that?),Delpy’s rapid-fire scripting, and Rock’snaturally funny comic presence, make itworthwhile. “Delpy captures the specifics of bustlingNew York life, but, more universally, shecaptures the chaos experienced byeveryone who’s ever had their in-laws tostay. Meet The Fockers would haveneeded twice the brains and twice thelaughs to get anywhere near it.”(Independent) (research SimonMessenger) Though Julie Delpy alwaysseems to write herself in to stories aboutherself, somehow they don’t cloy aseither auto biography or over indulgence.You decide.

Hewas born into poverty in Harlem in 1927,raised in his father’s native Jamaica, andafter serving in the US navy at the end ofthe second world war, he worked as ajanitor before being drawn into thetheatre. From the late 1940s on he wasprimarily a singer, becomingsensationally successful in the 1950s asthe ‘King of Calypso’. “There’s so much more to Belafonte thanthe Banana Boat Song and Rostock doesa fine job revealing it in a fittingcelebration of a mighty talent.” (Empire)“This excellent film, eloquently narratedby its octogenarian subject in thatwonderfully husky voice, carefullybalances an account of his career inshowbusiness with his 50-yearcommitment to civil and human rights.”(Observer) “A deeply respectful look at anextraordinary life. Belafonte took thebiggest gamble an entertainer can, herisked appearing unpopular, and we couldhave asked the same of Rostock.”(Guardian) “If Richard Dawkins’s mob want to startgiving out secular sainthoods, they shouldstart with Harry Belafonte.

At the Oscars of 1960, The Apartmentwon Best Film with Billy Wilder takingBest Director.Bud Baxter (Lemmon) is a strugglingclerk in a huge New York insurancecompany. He is the archetypal put-uponand only tolerated for a place on thecorporate ladder by lending out hisapartment to executives for nooky. Heoften has to deal with the sordidaftermath of their visits but one night he’sleft with a bigger than usual nuisance onhis hands. Enter Shirley Maclean’sfabulous lift attendant Fran Kubelik.As a comedy, and an early majorHollywood production to play with sexand the abuse of power, The Apartmentwas years ahead of its time. (Isn’t thatwhat comedy does best?) Middle aged, middle executives headedby slimey big cheese, beautifully playedto maximum slime by Fred MacMurray,look upon their insurance company as ahuge pick-up joint. (sounds familiar?).Jack Lemmon is at his fumbling bestwhile Shirley Maclean underplaysperfectly. They are a perfect double-act,creating between them a true Hollywoodgem.The script is as timeless as it is priceless.So think like a top insurance salesman,throw away your executive washroom keyand cancel the afternoon’s golf,shenanigans & lunch so you don’t missthis restored crystal clear gem.

Having recently suffereda personal tragedy of his own, the kindly,compassionate Monsieur Lazhar setsabout nurturing the children, only to runinto trouble with the school’s policies ona number of issues. The delicate nature ofhis refugee status hangs in the balance…The story touches on themes of grief,loss, integration, unity, with the onus onthe optimism of youth, “You could almost describe MonsieurLazhar as a morality tale, but it’s morethought-provoking than debate-provoking. Its strength is the realness ofthe emotions and authenticity of thedetail, although there is a gentleinsistence here that integration is a two-way street.” (Time Out) “Only the most obstreperous delinquentcould fail to be charmed by MonsieurLazhar…” (Guardian) “Life affirming”(Total Film) ‘Life affirming’ havebecome two of my favourite words, oflate.

Whether you’ve grown weary of WillFerrell’s brand of humour or not there’sno denying the likable 6ft 4 comic’sdiversity in his roles. After all, branchingout into foreign territories when you don’tspeak the language is a ballsy move.Ferrell plays humble ranchero Armandowhose simple, sweet nature is ridiculed byhis landowning father and successfulbusinessman brother, Raul (Diego Luna).When Raul returns to the ranch with agorgeous bride to be, hearts flutter andforbidden romance blossoms against thebackdrop of a war between DEA and drugrunners.“Casa is a spoof of soapy tele-novelas,skid-row Westerns and over-the-border B-movies. Painted backdrops, re-used rear-projection footage and intentionally badcontinuity are thrown in.” (Telegraph)“The result is odd, intermittently amusingbut wholly unsatisfying, an oddballexperiment that simply doesn’t work.”(Time Out) Take you pick.Those expecting the slapstick to comethick and fast might be upset at Ferrellplaying it decidedly straight-facedthroughout and the joke is spread thin bythe end, but despite the wonky sets anddeliberately terrible production values, thewondrous attention to (the 1970s) detailwill leave its mark.

He insists on travelling acrosstown for a haircut, even though his driverwarns him that a presidential visit and arap star’s funeral are causing trafficgridlock. Packer’s world is confined to thisluxury vehicle.Cronenberg meanwhile, is back in thefamiliar territory that populated his earlier,eerier works (Videodrome, Dead Ringers).After a hatrick of Viggo Mortensen stintsending with the curious but tame natured ADangerous Method, Cronenberg takes agamble on the youthful allure of Pattinson,making the Twilight star his latest muse.“It has the air of an experimental theatrepiece and trades in heightened, eroticisedlanguage.” (Time Out)“To equate the experience, my screening ofCosmopolis had 23 walkouts, likely asmuch a testament to its thematicmisappropriation.” (What Culture) Oh dear,thematic misappropriation eh?Yes, Cosmopolis is slow and pretentiousbut fight the temptation to walk out andyou may find a small amount of pleasurein seeing Packer’s perplexing,claustrophobic world unfurl around him.(research Jack Whiting). Cronenberg isalways worth the time ‘thematicmisappropriation’ and all.

She shouldalso be congratulated for avoiding the sadspinster stereotype by giving equal screentime to Jason’s struggles with ageing andfatherhood. It’s only a shame that afterseveral interesting diversions, the ploteventually settles in such a predictableplace.“Yet there are two major obstacles toappreciating the film’s achievements: First,the persistent feeling that you’d rather bewatching Wiig in Bridesmaids 2, andsecond, Westfeldt’s Hollywood cheekbones,which rather give the lie to the notion thatshe’s just an ordinary gal looking for love.Luckily, she offers a performance that’sheartfelt enough to emote through severallayers of Botox.” (Guardian) Sounds okayfor, over-talkie with over-friendly friends,American pap?

In Ridley Scott’s belated sci-fihomecoming, Michael Fassbender’sandroid David poses the question “Howfar would you go to get your answers?”Once Prometheus’ credits roll youranswer would more than likely be “Notvery”.Earth 2089 and a pair of archaeologistlovers: religious Elizabeth Shaw (NoomiRapace, complete with wonky Britaccent) and atheist Charlie Holloway(Logan Marshall-Green) discover a cavepainting in Wales? one of many in factthat points to the possible beginnings ofour existence.Believing that these maps are aninvitation, Shaw is granted a ship andscientific team including CharlizeTheron, Idris Elba and film stealingFassbender, to launch an expedition tomeet our makers. This isn’t the samelocation of Scott’s 1979 Alien; die-hardfans hoping for direct connections to thehorror classic will be disappointed to findPrometheus sticking to its own guns,mostly.When the crew arrive after their two yearjourney (the wonders of hyper-sleep) andset down on the moon’s surface the blackgoo hits the fan, including script, pacing,and character motives that defy logic, yetthe extraordinary sets and visual effectsmask the narrative cracks. There areplentiful nods to Kubrick’s 2001, and ofcourse Alien, yet under the conspicuoustwaddle of birth, God and the universe isa monster movie that’ll leave yousquirming. (Jack Whiting)

A beautifully photographedoutdoorsman’s woodsy thriller with anenvironmentalist theme, MysteriousAmerican, Martin (a magnetic Dafoe)is tasked by a shadowy biotechcompany to go into the wilderness andfind a Tasmanian tiger, a species longconsidered extinct. Based on the 1999 novel by Julia Leigh(writer-director of last year’smaddeningly awful Sleeping Beauty) anddirected by Oz TV vet Daniel Nettheim.Filmed in Tasmania, it has the faintlysurreal look peculiar to Australian moviesin which nature pulses with a mysterious,primordial shimmer. Martin lodges with the wife and childrenof a man who went missing months agoin the nearby mountains, possibly on thesame quest.The vanished father was anenvironmentalist who may have fallenfoul of loggers representing the leadingindustry in this part of Tasmania.Martin soon discovers that he is in dangerfrom both sides. The timber typesassociate him with the green protesters,while the environmentalists suspect(correctly) that he is using illegal steeltraps in the wilderness. “Prehistoric might also describe thecavernous face of Mr. Dafoe, now 56, heproves to have the right blend ofruggedness and sensitivity for thisconflicted hero.The Hunter never declares who is good,bad, right or wrong. And the implicationsof Martin’s decisions are left for theviewer to unravel.” (NY Times)

Born Allan Stewart Konigsberg in theBronx in 1931, Woody Allen is one of thegreatest living directors. The neuroticNew Yorker is responsible for suchfabulous films as Annie Hall, Manhattan,Hannah and Her Sisters, etc and now a Rexfavourite, Midnight in Paris. Directed by Robert B Weide, this hilarious,engrossing, documentary chroniclesWoody’s humble beginnings as a comedywriter, stand up comic in GreenwichVillage, and finally, the director we allknow, equally loved and not so.A tediously long queue of talking headsfrom all eras of Woody’s life pop up toshare anecdotes about him: Diane Keaton,Larry David, Scarlett Johansson, MartinScorsese, and the rest. Perhaps moreinterestingly, Allen himself featuresprominently in the picture, walking throughNew York regaling anecdotes from hischildhood, and showing off his half-centuryold typewriter in his modest apartment. “Allen is in fine, funny, frank, self-disparaging form, there are fascinatingrevelations on every aspect of his life, well-chosen extracts from his films and TVinterviews…” (Observer)“There is more to Woody Allen: ADocumentary than its modest title suggests,although perhaps not quite enough tojustify swapping that ‘a’ for ‘the’.” eh?(Telegraph) (research [and helpful lists]Simon Messenger) (So much Woody-in-a-good-light feels like he could have madethis himself?) You decide.

Back by great demand, Romanian-bornfilmmaker Radu Mihaileanu (TheConcert) offers up another certifiablycrowd-pleasing slice of world cinema inLa Source des Femmes, a modern-dayfable exploring female empowerment inthe Arab world. Set in an unnamed contemporaryMaghreb village, the women decide theyno longer want to fetch water while theirmen sit around and watch. For as long asanyone can remember, women havefetched water from a mountaintop springin the blazing sun. Given that new bride,Leila (Bekhti), Loubna (Hafsia Herzi) andthe loud mouth, Mother Rifle (Biyouna)have very little powers of persuasion overthe macho, Koran-quoting, males whocontrol the remote enclave, they launch a‘love strike’. Meaning no sex until theirmen learn how to divert the running waterto the village. Inspired by a true story, andin part a retelling of Aristophanes’Lysistrata, it is a meditation on love andcommunity. “Mihaileanu exploreswomen’s lives and relationships, withmen, with each other and with Islam andthe Koran, debunking myths through hisintelligently drawn characters andthoughtful blend of comedy and tragedy.”(Hollywood Reporter) Another portraitfrom across the world’s oceans anddeserts; one that will stay with you. Not asa flimsy Victorian tale of quaint savages,but a strong reminder that we know littleoutside our own world…? Don’t miss.

Salmon Fishing InThe YemenThu 5 2.00

Back, not so much by demand, ascommand. Still, this harmless film istaken from Paul Torday’s wildlysuccessful novel, and directed by LasseHallström (What’s Eating GilbertGrape, Chocolat), Salmon Fishing in theYemen is a charming romantic comedy.Britain’s leading fisheries expert AlfredJones (McGregor) is called upon by ayoung consultant Harriet Chetwode-Talbot(Blunt) to fulfil a wealthy Yemeni sheikh’sdream of introducing salmon fishing tothe Arab nation. Jones rejects theeccentric notion, however when the PrimeMinister’s press secretary PatriciaMaxwell (Scott Thomas) gets wind of theconcept, the potential lure of furtheringUK/Arab relations, proves too great. Thus,Jones is pressured into spearheading theproject. Can the three of them help fulfilthe sheikh’s absurd dream? Is it soabsurd…?Oscar-winning screenwriter SimonBeaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) does asolid job of adapting Torday’s charmingbook, and McGregor plays the sociallyawkward fisherman in his own voice, fora change.“Hallström wheels out the ‘swimmingagainst the tide’ visual metaphor once toooften, and there’s some drop-off in pacetowards the end. But this isn’t half asgooey as one might expect...” (Guardian)(SM) Surprisingly easy to watch, withsome great one-liners, and a gift for KScott-Thomas in the Malcolm Tucker role.

This tiny gem is deservedly back in thesummer programme. Directed by JeanBecker (son of Jacques) it is a sweetnatured, heart-over-head Frenchcomedy of manners. Set in a typical small French country town,Germain (ç Depardieu), a semi-literate,bumbling, fat handyman, strikes up afriendship with ninety-somethingMarguerite (astonishing, real lifenonagenarian, Gisèle Casadesus). Theirchance meeting on a park bench sets inmotion a whimsical friendship. Margueritereads Camus to the big man, and slowlysets him on a path of unanticipatedredemption.It’s unashamedly cosy, inimitabilityFrench, set in a leafy town where the sunalways shines. Depardieu’s character is amixture of blustering assurance and lowself-esteem, despite having a blondegirlfriend half his age. Suchinconsistencies are there for Depardieu topull off with ease. However, Gisèle is thestar; an actress since the 1930s, she isgrace and charm personified.“It’s charming, sentimental, well-acted, andany readers’ group should make an outingto see it.” (Observer)“Nicely acted, feel-good lesson in self-improvement with a portrait of petitbourgeois village life that uses every clichéin the book.” (Independent) It’s close to Conversations with MyGardener in the sure knowledge that oneof them is in charge, but it’s not that one.You will love it.

Back on a Saturday by overwhelmingdemand, it traces Marley’s life andcareer from his childhood as afatherless mixed-race farmboy in ruralJamaica, through his wild adolescenceon the mean streets of Kingston’sTrenchtown slum, all the way to histragically early death at 36. Marley doesn’t stray from the familiarrags-to-riches music documentary format,mixing interviews, archive material,concert broadcasts and new footage ofkey locations in the story – and somefabulous faces early on chuckling throughtheir own patoir commentary. We hear how he inspired many as aRastafarian prophet, yet his peace’n’loveimage is complicated by accounts of his“competitive” streak and domesticshortcomings, the latter expressed bycheated-on wife Rita and painfullyneglected daughter Cedella.“While Kevin Macdonald (Touching theVoid) has nothing but praise for Marleyas a musician and political figurehead, heis perfectly willing to lay out the barefacts, for us to judge for ourselves. It’s enough to win over those who are notfans of his music. Such an honest depiction can onlycontribute to a deeper appreciation of thisremarkable icon.” (Time Out)“Every second is earned in Macdonald’slong, generous and rigorously detailedBob doc.

Moonrise KingdomThu 12 2.00

Written and directed by Wes Anderson,Moonrise Kingdom is a quirky, retro,quasi-coming-of-age tale. 1965, New England. At a Khaki Scoutsummer camp, an exceptionally skilledscout, and eccentric loner, Sam (JardenGilman) goes missing. He has run awaywith local girl Suzy (Kara Hayward). The two having fallen in love; much to thechagrin of her parents Walt and Laura (BillMurray, Frances McDormand). As various authorities; scout master Ward(Edward Norton), police captain Sharp(Bruce Willis) and social services (TildaSwinton) join the hunt for the missingchildren, a violent hurricane begins toform off the coast of their small NewEngland island…Wes Anderson’s heavily stylised,immaculately conceived direction makesMoonrise Kingdom an exceptional film. A glorious soundtrack, predominantly byAndre Desplat, but which also makesexcellent use of Benjamin Britten’s YoungPerson’s Guide To The Orchestra, workswonderfully as we recall, with Sam andSuzy, the excitement and adventure of firstlove. It’s fun, fey and utterly charming. “Anderson’s homemade aesthetic is placedat the service of a counter-digital, almosthand-drawn cinema, and he has anextraordinary ability to conjure adistinctive universe, entire of itself. To some, Moonrise Kingdom may benothing more than a souffle of strangeness,but it rises superbly.” (Guardian) (SimonMessenger)

Two Days In NewYork Tue 17 12.30

Julie Delpy writes and directs in thiscross-cultural farce; a sequel of sorts to2007’s biting comedy Two Days inParis. Following the not so bitingBefore (& After) Sunrise: 2004.Delpy reprises her role as Marion; aslightly unstable, intellectual late 30something photographer. Having movedfrom Paris to New York, she’s happilyshacked up with DJ/writer Mingus (ChrisRock) both have children from previousrelationships. The ‘two days’ refer to thehilarious, culture-clashing visit ofMarion’s family, her mad father (playedby her real father, Albert), sister Rose(Alexia Landeau) and her irritatingboyfriend Manu (Alexandre Nahon). Whilst it’s fair to say the film derives alot of its humour from poking fun at theFrench (and what’s wrong with that?),Delpy’s rapid-fire scripting, and Rock’snaturally funny comic presence, make itworthwhile. “Delpy captures the specifics of bustlingNew York life, but, more universally, shecaptures the chaos experienced byeveryone who’s ever had their in-laws tostay. Meet The Fockers would haveneeded twice the brains and twice thelaughs to get anywhere near it.”(Independent) (research SimonMessenger) Though Julie Delpy alwaysseems to write herself in to stories aboutherself, somehow they don’t cloy as eitherauto biography or over indulgence.

TheGerman’s eye is quickly caught by theking’s beautiful wife, Queen Caroline(Vikander), and the two fall into an affairthat threatens to consume them both. The opening scene, where a beautifulwoman strokes a horse, and then walks bya river in a rain-soaked landscape, is likeone of those paintings where you see afigure, and a face, and a certain kind oflight, and glimpse a world. Withinmoments, she’s writing a letter. Within afew more moments, she’s back in a sunlitfield, in a different country and adifferent time. In moments, it is clear thatthis beautiful woman, in this rain-soakedlandscape, has an extraordinary story totell.Caroline Mathilde is the sister ofEngland’s King George III and the centralcharacter of this, Nikolaj Arcel’s award-winning new film. In that sunlit field,she’s fifteen and on the brink of anarranged marriage to the new 17 yr oldking of Denmark… The astonishing thing about thisastonishing film is that everything thathappens is true (best to handle that wordwith care).

Pirates! In AnAdventure WithScientists Sat 28 2.00

From everybody’s favourite animationstudios, Aardman, comes a brilliant,clever, hilarious tale of swashbucklingadventure and ‘Ham Nite’. Hugh Grant is perfectly nuanced as thevoice of the Pirate Captain whoseambition lies in beating his bitter rivals tothe Pirate of the Year Award. When heand his hapless crew (an all-star barnacleof silly sea dogs: Martin Freeman,Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, andAshley Jensen) encounter HMS Beagleand Charles Darwin on the high seas,Darwin notices something rather specialabout (heavy-boned) Polly, the Captain’sparrot, leading the crew on a franticjourney to Victorian London…Technically brilliant and beautifully &faultlessly observed from Peter Lord,David Sproxton and Co (Wallace &Gromit, Chicken Run etc).“I think you could treble the IQ of anychild, or indeed adult, by putting them infront of an Aardman product like this.”(Guardian)“Every scene has been embellished withsight gags, funny signs and dizzyingamounts of background detail, allenhanced, not obscured, by judicious useof 3D (glorious 2D at The Rex). It wouldtake multiple viewings to drink it all in,but The Pirates! more than justifies it.”(Telegraph) (SM) Taking a mere fiveyears to make, it’s the funniest, cleverestand wittiest animation you’ll see in thenext five. Sheer (ham-nite) joy.

Directed by Ridley Scott (BladeRunner, Gladiator) “Prometheus” is abeautiful, epic, if slightly messy prequelto his original “Alien”. Guided by an ancient star map -interpreted as an invitation to visithumanity’s forerunners, the “Engineers” -Drs. Shaw and Holloway (Noomi Rapace,Logan Marshall-Green) are invited byPeter Weyland, elderly CEO of WeylandCorporation (Guy Pearce) on a mission tovisit a distant planet to discover moreabout these beings. Joined by an assortedcrew including icy Meredith Vickers(Charlize Theron) and exquisitelymannered android David (a superbMichael Fassbender channelling the bestof Bowie) to help the expedition along,what could possibly go wrong..?Common complaints appear to be thenarrative messiness of the ending, thebombastic score, and Scott’s apparentdesire for spookiness in preference to anyutterly terrifying, grusome, prolongedAlien encounters; however he displaysguts in attempting to address the genesisof HR Giger’s magnificent creatures, andindeed, life itself. Adjust yourexpectations, and you’ll be pleasantlysurprised. “It is a muddled, intricate, spectacularfilm, but more or less in control of all itscraziness and is very watchable.”(Guardian) (Simon Messenger)

COMMENTS FROM THE BOOK...

No Date Anonymous ‘Regular’Fed up with the old bald guytelling his paying customers his

opinion of films that we want to beallowed to enjoy.

“Fed up” carries no wit. To hold it all theway through the film, then come into thefoyer and write it at the end, is moreunfortunate than enduring a two minutediatribe. No annoyance should lastthrough a whole film. Seriously,anything that spoils the film for you,please tell us immediately. It’s too late atthe end.I stand up, say something inaudible, getoff and it’s over. If I dared to thinkbefore, I would never do it again. So MrMrs Miss Ms Regular, you’re right, I toonotice the irrelevance and impertinence,and the more I think about it, the more Ithink it should stop. But I find it best notto think about it, before, during or after,and only do when one of our kidsrepeats what I’ve just said, or worse,forgotten! So, to stem your discomfort, and mypleasure, it is best to wait until theelderly, but perfectly formed pate,reappears in the foyer, so you might takeyour seat, in peace.

23/3 Anonymous I’m so hot for James Hannaway! Yum!

So take that and a pound a week!

2/5 Sue Dyson Sorry James – but the munchers andrustlers have arrived; Exotic MarigoldHotel potentially ruined by endlesseating throughout – please introduce a“quieter area”

Thank you Sue Dyson, if only for yourname and a hint of wit. The sound ofsomeone else’s eating can carry over thenoisiest car chase and induce fantasies oftheir slow death. We do our utmost to keep wrappingsrustle-free. However, we have no powerover dentures, mastication or saliva;heavy breathing or snoring (you shouldcome for the babies on Tuesdays!). The

whole auditorium and our carefullyjudged sound levels are designed forleast audience interference. The seats arewell spaced and the speakers set atwhispering level ie a screen whisper is awhisper not a shriek, and just loudenough to encourage silence. Our sounddoes not bombard, hurt or numb.Therefore it will never drown ambientnoise. The trick is to keep it at a level wherelistening is essential. So the thought ofcrunching during a heightened momentis unthinkable. That is unless you’resitting next to someone who is enjoyingthe crisp more than the moment. Inwhich case, please inject them with thedeadly Russian nerve gas provided, andcarry on enjoying the film. (You willfind the correct health & safetyprocedure [form DBI-F26] under yourseat).

2/5 In response to Ms Dyson (againanon) was added in capitals: “GET A LIFE YOU BORE.”

Again witless but largely condemned forits dull use of a tired cliché. This ranksas one of the worst among other tediousphrases/clichés, examples: “…on theplanet” serves as the decade’s equivalentof 1980’s “no way”. “I’m good” (noyou’re not. You might be ‘fine’ or even‘well’ or neither. It is for the enquirer todecide if you’re any good) “Can Iget…?” (Barman. ‘No, you can have [adiet bungo-bomb] but I, will get it foryou’) etc.Only “no problem” has surpassed mostothers for longevity (except of course for‘body language’ which remains the chiefammunition of the gossiper, slanderer,centre of attention seeker. Always usedagainst someone not present to persuadeanyone – who will take their side).No problem used at the end of atransaction, is used in place of thankyou, or yes I will see to that. Of coursethere’s no poxy problem, it’s a pair ofshoelaces! Particularly irritating whensung. You’ll have heard its lingeringpitch. Next time you hear it. Thank themand ask do they know Ol’ Man River.
