"Poetry is just the evidence of life, if your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash"
Leonard Cohen


Part concert film and part biography, this is a moving tribute to this legendary artist's life and career. Moreover, the film salutes four decades of Cohen's song writing output, a strategy that happily steers the movie toward an appreciation of the 71-year-old Cohen's musical legacy..

Dir: Enrique Fernandez, Cesar Carlone /Spain/Subtitles/97mins

Easy Virtue (PG)

M: Sun 7, Tue 9 to Thu 11 Dec 7.30pm; Wed 10 Dec 3.30pm

Dir: Stephan Elliott/ 93mins
With: Jessica Biel, Colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas


Jessica Biel plays Larita, a daredevil American sensation of the European race track who follows a whirlwind romance with naive Englishman John (Ben Barnes) by marrying him and then facing the daunting prospect of meeting his parents. Frosty mother Veronica (Kristin Scott Thomas) does everything she can to make her feel unwelcome and a state of war is declared. Larita discovers all the poisonous emotions that flow within the family whilst Veronica and the daughters uncover all the dirty secrets from Larita's past that might convince John that this is not a marriage made in heaven.

"The champagne wit of Noel Coward's eighty year old play still fizzes and sparkles in Stephan Elliott's jaunty adaptation of Easy Virtue. Handsome production values, a class-act cast and nimble direction from Elliott all combine to make the most of the material, transforming it into a surprisingly elegant, entertaining period piece."
Alan Hunter Screen International

 

Buddha Collapsed Out Of Shame (PG)

G: Sun 7, Tue 9 to Thu 11 Dec 7.30pm; Wed 10 Dec 3.30pm

Dir: Hana Makhmalbaf/Iran/subtitles/77mins
With: Nikbakht Noruz, Abdolali Hoseinali, Abbas Alijome

The beauty and grief of present-day Afghanistan receives epic, poetic treatment from Hana Makhmalbaf, the youngest member of master director Mohsen Makhmalbaf's remarkable family. Set in Bamian, the actual town where the Taliban's destruction of cultural treasures sickened the world. Very common for Makhmalbaf, is the neo-realist style of filmmaking, with simple and naturalistic portrayal of events, handheld cameras and non-actors in leading roles. However, the main story is told symbolically through the specific surroundings, the games characters play, the clothes they wear-all of these, plus the music, accentuating the climactic moments of the film, guide us on this colourful but devastating journey to the Middle East.

C: Fri 2 to Sun 4 Jan 7pm & 3pm

With: Kristin Scott Thomas, Elsa Zylberstein, Serge Hazanavicius, Laurent Grevill


The first feature from novelist and screenwriter Claudel, as Juliette, a woman who returns to her home town after a long, mysterious absence. This strikingly composed film focuses on low-key, everyday events as details of her years away emerge and she begins to reconcile with those around her; particularly powerful is the tender portrayal of the blossoming relationship between the two sisters.

"Scott Thomas's performance, easily the best of her career, countermands any such qualms: the centre of a deeply involving, beautifully acted and expertly constructed human drama by and for grown-ups." The Guardian

Drug trafficking militias have virtual control within the favelas while the police run their criminal enterprises outside. The elite BOPE force (State Police Special Operations Battalion) combats drug trafficking - keeping order has its price though and their actions make it difficult to distinguish right from wrong and justice from revenge.
