Almanya – Welcome to Germany
- 2010
- Germany
- 101 min
- Directed by: Yasemin Samdereli
- Cast: Vedat Erincin, Fahri Yardim, Aylin Tezel
Comedy about a Turkish family who came to Germany in the late 60s, and their trip back home when the patriarch of the family buys a holiday house in Turkey.
Fri 17 Feb
£8 (£6)
Winner of Best Film and Best Screenplay at the German Film Awards, Almanya has been one of Germany's biggest box-office hits over the past year. An irresistible crowd-pleaser with echoes of East is East, it explores the immigrant experience in Germany with warm-hearted humour and a great generosity of spirit. Huseyin came to Germany in the 1960s as a Gastarbeiter and has become a model citizen with a large family. He has decided to purchase some land in his home village in Anatalya, Turkey and insists that all his family accompany him on a sentimental journey home. The clash between the generations and a nostalgia for the past combine in a joyous, feel-good production. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Welcome to Germany.
An American In Paris
- 1951
- US
- 113 min
- U
- Directed by: Vincente Minnelli
- Written by: Alan Jay Lerner
- Cast: Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, Oscar Levant, Georges Guétary, Nina Foch
Splendid – if sometimes garish – romantic musical, with Kelly on top form as a would-be artist kicking up a storm in 'la belle cité'.
Sun 19 Feb
£8 (£6)
Gene Kelly's extraordinary influence on American screen musicals reached an artistic peak with this Oscar-winning classic. The combination of vibrant colour photography, glorious Gershwin tunes and inspired dance numbers is used to tell the story of a struggling American artist who finds himself a wealthy patron but loses his heart to the irresistible Leslie Caron in her screen debut. The modern ballet that ends the film remains one of the greatest sequences in the history of MGM and Kelly earned a special Oscar for his 'brilliant achievements in the art of choreography'. Highlights of this Best Picture Oscar-winner include 'I Got Rhythm', 'S'Wonderful' and 'Our Love is Here to Stay'. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Gene Kelly: Strictly Song and Dance.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
- 2011
- UK
- 118 min
- Directed by: John Madden
- Written by: Ol Parker
- Cast: Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson
Despite an irresistible army of pension-age talent including Dench, Smith and Wilkinson, all on excellent form, this story about a group of unconnected British retirees who come to the titular hotel in Jaipur and find resolution for their various issues and challenges, feels too calculated to offer anything more than disposable entertainment at best, and cheaply manipulative emotional kicks at worst.
Fri 17 Feb
£8 (£6)
Forget the misery of broken Britain and head to the glorious warmth of India. That's the plan adopted by a diverse collection of British pensioners in this delightful adaptation of the Deborah Moggach bestseller These Foolish Things. Shakespeare in Love director John Madden has assembled a once-in-a-generation cast of British actors for a truly heart-warming, captivating tale set amid the wonders of India. Fearing for the future, newly widowed Judi Dench, lonely Tom Wilkinson and grumpy Maggie Smith are among the pensioners attracted to the charms of a luxury Indian hotel run by Dev Patel. Nothing is as they had expected but fresh challenges bring exciting new opportunities. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Gala.

Brigadoon
- 1954
- US
- 108 min
- U
- Directed by: Vincente Minnelli
- Written by: Alan Jay Lerner
- Cast: Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, Cyd Charisse
Two yanks on vacation in Scotland discover a sleepy village that comes alive once every hundred years. Rather flat and uninvolving Minnelli musical, especially in comparison with his other 50s work, with the unconvincing (and unintentionally hilarious) Scots background the main problem.
Fri 24 Feb
£8 (£6)
The time has come to set aside your prejudices and reclaim Brigadoon as one of the great underrated treasures in the MGM musical pantheon. Dismissed in the 1950s as pure tartan kitsch and despised for choosing Hollywood make-believe over location shooting in Scotland, Brigadoon is still a wonderfully romantic musical with some unforgettable numbers in 'The Heather on the Hill' and 'Almost Like Being in Love'. Gene Kelly is the American visitor to the Highlands who stumbles across an idyllic, enchanted village and a bewitching lassie played by the stunning Cyd Charisse. Little does he realise the huge obstacle in the path of their happy ever after. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Gene Kelly: Strictly Song and Dance.

The Crow
- 1994
- US
- 101 min
- 18
- Directed by: Alex Proyas
- Cast: Brandon Lee
Infamous as the film on which martial arts star Bruce Lee's son Brandon was killed by a defective stunt gun, this is the most consistent attempt yet to create on film the distinctive feel of the graphic novel. The characterisation and plot development may be slight – a rock star comes back from the dead to wreak revenge on the gang who killed him and his girlfriend – but stylistically, it's a gem.
Thu 23 Feb
£8 (£6)
Alex Proyas's brooding, bravura version of The Crow is one of the finest comic book screen adaptations. Inspired by James O'Barr's cult comic, it looks as black and inky as the bleakest night, filled with shadows and sorrow. Bruce Lee's son Brandon, who tragically died during the shooting, stars as guitarist Eric Draven. A year after a street gang killed him and his fiancée, Draven is brought back to life by a crow who guides tracks down and confronts the guilty thugs before a showdown with crime lord Top-Dollar. A dark, dynamic grand guignol chiller with an unexpected melancholy at its core. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Kapow!@GFF.

Cronenberg’s investigation of psychoanalysis, seen through the relationship between the two main proponents, Freud (Mortensen) and Jung (Fassbender) makes for a fascinating insight into a moment in history when the world of thought, and the way that we think about ourselves, was being fundamentally reshaped.

A colourful, camp adventure starring Flash! (aaah, saviour of the universe, as the memorable Queen soundtrack has it).
Tue 21 Feb
£8 (£6)
The clock is ticking as all-American hero Flash Gordon and newshound Dale Arden race to save planet Earth from the evil plot of Ming the Merciless in this extravagantly entertaining Dino De Laurentiis production. Lorenzo Semple Jr had written episodes of Batman in the 1960s and the same campy tone infects a film notable for its eye- popping production design, soaring Queen soundtrack and a terrific performance from Max von Sydow as Ming. Mike Hodges directs with pace and panache and while Sam J Jones is no actor, he is pretty good in tight corners and tight shorts. All comic strip adaptations should offer this much fun. Before the film GFF Ambassador Mark Millar will be interviewed by Paul Greenwood about why this is his favourite Geek Film!. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Kapow!@GFF.

Laura
- 1944
- US
- 88 min
- U
- Directed by: Otto Preminger
- Cast: Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb
Preminger's classic Twin Peaks-inspiring mystery about the fallout following the murder of beautiful Laura and the many people suspected of killing her.
Fri 17 Feb
£8 (£6)
Who could possibly want to kill Gene Tierney's lovely, beguiling Laura? That's what New York detective Dana Andrews must discover as his growing fascination with the dead woman colours his investigation and his assessment of the suspects, including smarmy Southern playboy Vincent Price, waspish columnist Clifton Webb and shifty aunt Judith Anderson. Otto Preminger's Oscar-winning murder mystery helped to define the dark shadows of the film noir genre and remains a witty, haunting study of romantic obsession that unfolds to the unforgettable music of David Raskin. A true classic that deserves to be seen back on the big screen. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Out of the Past.

A young woman (Olsen) returns to the house of her sister (Paulson) after two years as a cult member. Olsen is breathtaking, but although Durkin is to be applauded for avoiding melodrama and pat resolutions, the film lacks intensity and could have used a little more narrative meat on its bones.

A Night To Remember
- 1958
- UK
- 123 min
- PG
- Directed by: Roy Ward Baker
- Cast: Kenneth More, Ronald Allen, Robert Ayres, Honor Blackman
Before James Cameron's 'Titanic', there was this British version of the sinking. It's more obviously studio-bound than Hollywood's effects-laden spectacular, but has plenty of excitement in a stiff-upper-lip sort of way. And you care more for the characters. And note that Cameron lifted scenes almost wholly intact.
Sun 19 Feb
£8 (£6)
It is one hundred years since the unsinkable RMS Titanic embarked on its maiden voyage. Countless filmmakers have sought to dramatise the fate of the vessel, none more spectacularly than James Cameron. Historians generally agree that A Night to Remember is the most meticulous in its use of the known facts. Veteran director Ray Ward Baker (19162010) brings a documentary-like intensity to the story, eschewing fictional romances to concentrate on second officer Herbert Lightoller (Kenneth More) and his heroic acts. The result is a film all the more moving for its sense of British reserve and all the more striking in this brand new restoration. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Out of the Past.

- Directed by: Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen
- Cast: Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Ann Miller, Betty Garrett
Three guys go out into the 'wonderful town' of New York, New York to see the sights, live the nightlife and wow the women. More cinematic and dance-orientated than other musicals, it's as big and brash as they come.
Thu 23 Feb
£8 (£6)
The MGM musical escapes the soundstages of Hollywood and bursts on to the boisterous streets of New York, New York in this Oscar-winning landmark. Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin are the three sailors with just one day of shore leave to take a bite out of the Big Apple, catch all the sights from the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty and go looking for romance. A wonderful adaptation of the stage musical that has a vivacity and dynamism that never ages. Gene Kelly's athletic style and creative ambitions for the musical are visible in every frame of a film that he also co-directed with his future Singin' in the Rain collaborator Stanley Donen.

Atmospheric police drama about a group of men involved in a murder investigation in a Turkish backwater.
Sat 25 Feb
£8 (£6)
The latest triumph from revered Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Distant, Climates) is a haunting, hypnotic tale of a group of men involved in a police investigation in the backwater district of Anatolia. One night they embark on a journey, with a prisoner in tow, to retrieve the body of a murdered man. Yet this is far from your ordinary police drama Ceylan takes little interest in action, preferring instead to build up a remarkable sense of atmosphere and to examine the shifting internal struggles of with subtitles his characters. Add to the mix the director's trademark striking cinematography and it's easy to see why Once Upon a Time in Anatolia captivated critics at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival where it won the Grand Jury Prize.

A wandering player (Kelly) passes himself off to a bored girl (Garland) as a famous pirate, and thereby sets up another colourful MGM musical, which is admittedly not one of the best, despite the Cole Porter songs.
Wed 22 Feb
£8 (£6)
Pure Hollywood escapism as Gene Kelly is reunited with Judy Garland in a colourful MGM musical directed by Garland's then husband Vincent Minnelli. The Caribbean village of Calvados is the setting for a larger-than-life yarn in which Garland's Manuela is expected to marry boring, bullying town mayor Don Pedro (Walter Slezak). She consoles herself with fantasies of being swept off her feet by the legendary Pirate Mack 'The Black' Macoco. When dashing circus performer Serafin (Kelly) tumbles into town, the heady scent of romance fills the air and life in Calvados is never quite the same again. An exhilarating romp set to a glorious Cole Porter score that includes the classic number 'Be a Clown'. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Gene Kelly: Strictly Song and Dance.

Hollywood undergoes the transition from the silent era to the talkies and reputations rise and fall. Absolutely wonderful musical entertainment, with the slickest of snappy dialogue, enduringly catchy numbers, a cast of genuine charisma, and an engaging picture of the industry in transition into the bargain. Quite splendid.
Sat 18 Feb
£8 (£6)
Everyone's favourite MGM musical is 60 years old and just as fresh, funny and beguiling as the day it was first released. Hollywood's calamitous transition from silent movies to talking pictures provides the backdrop to a peerless romantic romp in which Gene Kelly's dashing matinee idol Don Lockwood finds true love with his lucky star Cathy, played by a sensational Debbie Reynolds. Co-star Donald O'Connor stops the show with his virtuoso comic display in 'Make 'Em Laugh' and Kelly's exuberant dance in the pouring rain is one of the most joyous expressions of being alive and in love that the movies have ever created. An absolute must on the big screen. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Gene Kelly: Strictly Song and Dance.

Fri 17 Feb
£8 (£6)
In December 2010, renowned Iranian writer/director Jafar Panahi was sentenced to six years in prison and a 20-year ban on filmmaking or giving any form of interview after a conviction for crimes against the Islamic Republic. His crime was supporting the protests over the 2009 re-election of President Ahmadinejad and making beautiful films like The White Balloon *and *Offside which showed Iran to the world. This is Not a Film has been hailed as an 'urgent and personal defence of the artist' and covers a day in the life of a filmmaker; a filmmaker barred from making films but who can still dream, plan and let his imagination run free. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Stranger than Fiction.
