  • Directed by: Michel Hazanavicius
  • Written by: Michel Hazanavicius
  • Cast: Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo

This joyous, impeccably crafted crowdpleaser about the advent of the talkies melds the tried and tested plot of A Star Is Born to the comic exuberance of Singin' In The Rain, with the result that it is almost impossible not to fall for its charms.

This action-adventure is set at the turn of the 20th century as oil is being discovered in the desert. Annaud falls short in directing the action and, ironically, can’t avoid stereotypes of the Arab World, especially in its depiction of female characters.

A playground spat between two boys causes their parents to try to settle their differences.

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.

Laura

Laura

Preminger's classic Twin Peaks-inspiring mystery about the fallout following the murder of beautiful Laura and the many people suspected of killing her.

Sat 18 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.

Leth nicely balances action, drama and humour, and a strong cast (notably Bell) lend more quality to the film than it probably deserves.

Australia has never seen anything quite like Red Dog. A huge, award-winning box-office hit, it has won hearts and minds all across the continent and it's easy to see why.

Named Red, he selects American bus driver John (Josh Lucas) as his master and sets about becoming a legend in the area, renowned for his lengthy travels and indomitable spirit. Greyfriars Bobby had nothing on him. Told with visual panache and a soundtrack of 1970s rock this could be the feel-good film of 2012. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: It's a Wonderful World.

As Holmes and Watson face Professor Moriarty, Ritchie delivers a rather sluggish and unwieldy sequel to 2009's surprisingly successful adaptation. But there is still much to enjoy, including an impressive box of CG trickes, the ‘old married couple’ relationship between Holmes and Watson, Stephen Fry's game appearance as Holmes’ older brother Mycroft, and Hans Zimmer’s jauntily atmospheric score.

Former comic artist Eric Khoo is a long-time admirer of Yoshihiro Tatsumi, the father of the gekiga ('dramatic pictures'). Inspired by Tatsumi's hefty autobiography A Drifting Life, Khoo's film is a tender, completely animated tribute to the artist's life that also illustrates five of his most celebrated short stories. The autobiographical interludes are narrated by Tatsumi and in full colour, telling of his childhood, influence and revolutionary role in advancing the comic art to tackle gritty adult themes. The five stories ­ 'Hell', 'Beloved Monkey', 'Just a Man', 'Occupied' and 'Good-bye' are in the style of the original manga with delicate shadings and muted colour tones. The highlight is the Hiroshima tale 'Hell' which is said to have inspired the recent Waltz with Bashir. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Kapow!@GFF.

A young lawyer (Radcliffe) arrives at a remote English village to conclude the estate of a dead woman; cue lots of shoogly windows, creaky floorboards and slamming doors.
