As we head into November we are delivering a packed brochure, brimming and beaming with over 70 films (!), which will see us past Christmas and the New Year. There’s a present for everyone. Yes, there will be A Wonderful Life on Xmas Eve and yes there’s the now annual Hollywood mega-blockbuster in the form of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but there’s so much more! There might also be an extra surprise for our Members, who deserve it. We wish a Merry Xmas to all of you. Thank you for your continuing support and keep an eye on your inboxes... The goodies we have on offer could easily fill an advent calendar, so you may as well start opening them! You could easily start with the bigger boxes, the ones with the brightest ribbons. Suburbicon sees Clooney, Damon and the Coens shuffle the pack, as George takes the director’s chair, while Battle of the Sexes has Emma Stone produce the performance of her career (according to the critics) as Billie Jean King opposite one Christmas Carell. Or you could search between them and find those smaller offerings, which are nonetheless beautifully decorated and maybe slightly more intricate. Genius Michael Haneke returns with his first film since Amour in Happy End, a French family drama set against the backdrop of the Calais refugee camp; while The Lobster’s Yorgos Lanthimos presents The Killing of a Sacred Deer, which at a glance looks even more barmy than the aforementioned.

But don’t ignore that strange shaped present, badly wrapped, which represents the best intentions of whoever put it together. The Disaster Artist sees James Franco play Tommy Wiseau, the auteur behind The Room – which incidentally we’re also showing for the first time in a few years. Get your spoons!

There’s also Book Week Scotland, Fokus: Films from Germany, Scotland Loves Anime, French Film Festival, Take One Action Festival and Festival! itself, for which we have a special early preview of the wonderful Edie, with some very special guests at the screening. In fact there are so many films that we had to create a whole new screen! Kino Bar is a new space at Belmont Filmhouse, hiding in the basement. It’s not exactly a cinema and it’s not exactly a bar, but it will be an experience and we’re very excited about it! Grab a drink, slouch in a sofa and enjoy a few films hand-picked by Belmont staff. Colin farquhar, Cinema manager

This classic Agatha Christie tale is truly given the Hollywood treatment here in Kenneth Branagh’s star-studded adaptation. What begins as a lavish railway journey through Europe becomes a tantalising mystery when - with the train at a standstill - a passenger is found murdered. Everyone aboard is now a suspect and Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot (Branagh, sporting a quite spectacular moustache) is on the scene - but he must be quick to solve the puzzle before the killer strikes again...

A milestone in cinema history, 57 years on from its release Psycho’s brilliance remains undimmed. Most of us will know what befalls Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) at the Bates Motel, but it still boasts more than enough richly nuanced details to keep us constantly amused, intrigued and pleasingly ill-at-ease. Bernard Herrmann’s unsettling score and Joseph Stefano’s darkly witty script work wonders, too. In the end, however, through his mastery of mischievous audience manipulation, this masterpiece is Hitchcock’s through and through. Book for this and 78/52, get 15% off!

Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho reshaped what horror cinema was conceived to be - a combination of pulp dread and high art that made it very clear that even spaces of domestic intimacy were fair game for brutality. This entertaining and fascinating documentary takes the famous shower sequence and examines society in 1959, Hitchcock’s meticulous process, the film’s vast influence in the years since and how, with 78 camera set-ups and 52 cuts, one of the most enduring and iconic scenes in cinema was wrought.

She and her husband Bill (Timothy Spall) plan to celebrate this with a few close friends.

Sultry Hollywood star Gloria Grahame (Annette Bening) - an Oscar® winner in 1952 - finds herself far from home in the 1970s, treading the boards of the provincial UK theatre scene. Meeting the much younger aspiring actor Peter Turner (Jamie Bell), a vivacious romance begins - bridging continents and generations. Thirty years on from its initial publication, Turner’s candid, moving memoir has been lovingly brought to screen by Paul McGuigan (Sherlock) and Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, who knew Turner and Grahame when they were together.

Heart surgeon Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell) and his ophthalmologist wife Anna (Nicole Kidman) live a pristine, comfortable life in the suburbs. Steven has also surreptitiously taken teenager Martin (Barry Keoghan), whose late father was a patient of his, under his wing. The Killing of a Sacred Deer hops between genres, unfolding and revealing more, as Martin’s behaviour becomes more erratic... and more sinister. Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster) has mastered the art of blending dark comedy with absurd situations - and now he’s testing our boundaries with gusto.

It’s the summer of 1959 in Suburbicon - an apparently idyllic suburban community where the lawns are immaculate and house prices are reasonable. But this facade masks a dark and disturbing reality, and local husband/father Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) must navigate this underbelly of deceit and betrayal when tragedy strikes. George Clooney directs and co-writes (with the Coen brothers and Grant Heslov) this macabre comedy, also starring Julianne Moore, Oscar Isaac and newcomer Noah Jupe.

The sun-drenched story of precocious six-year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) and her ragtag bunch of friends, The Florida Project is the latest from Sean Baker (Tangerine). Filled with humour, boundless possibilities and a keenly pursued thirst for getting into trouble around their low-rent motel home, their adventures run parallel to an adult world where their mother (Bria Vinaite) struggles to make ends meet, and concerned building manager Bobby (a fantastic Willem Dafoe) has his last nerve tested to its limit. Capturing the spirit of these freewheeling childhood summers is rarefied air for filmmakers, but Baker has achieved it.

In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women’s movement, the 1973 tennis match between women’s world champion Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex-men’s-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) was billed as the Battle of the Sexes - becoming one of the most watched televised sports events of all time. As the rivalry between King and Riggs kicked into high gear, both of the competitors were fighting more personal and complex battles off-court.

Ingrid Thorburn (Aubrey Plaza) is an unhinged social media stalker with a history of confusing “likes” for meaningful relationships. Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen) is an Instagram-famous “influencer” whose perfectly curated lifestyle becomes Ingrid’s latest obsession. When Ingrid moves to LA and manages to insinuate herself into the social media star’s life, things soon take a darker turn. An award-winner at Sundance, Matt Spicer’s Ingrid Goes West is a savagely dark comedy that gleefully satirises the modern world of social media.

The bravura talents and dark wit of Michael Haneke are at work here in the very real, very current context of the European refugee crisis. Set in Calais, Happy End centres around the wealthy Laurent family, who exist in a bourgeois bubble - from octogenarian patriarch Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) down to 12-year-old Eve (Fantine Harduin). Their skewed values, deceit and bitter foibles are laid bare against their apparent obliviousness at the struggles of humanity in the nearby ‘Jungle’.

Bafflingly shot simultaneously on both digital and 35mm, it is a suburban morality play in which the virtuous Johnny (played by Wiseau) is betrayed by his girlfriend Lisa (Juliette Danielle) and his best friend Mark (Greg Sestero).

In Joachim (Louder Than Bombs) Trier’s fascinating and confounding coming-of-age supernatural drama, Thelma (Eili Harboe) tries to escape the religious strictures of rural family life by moving to Oslo to study. One day in the library, while sitting next to Anja (Kaya Wilkins), she suddenly experiences a violent, unexpected seizure. Feeling overwhelmed by her deep feelings for Anja, and with the seizures worsening, it becomes apparent that they’re a symptom of uncontrolled supernatural powers...

In the ultra-Orthodox world of a Hasidic Jewish community in Brooklyn, strict religious traditions frown upon a child growing up in a home without a mother. By ignoring the precedent, Menashe risks ostracisation from the community he loves; worse, his son Rieven could even be refused access to school. Blessed with impressive depth and a warm touch of humour, this sympathetic glimpse into the life of a community rarely depicted on screen is a fascinating and heartfelt study of fatherhood versus religious duty.

In the 1960s, National Geographic sent photographer/filmmaker Hugo van Lawick to film primatologist/conservationist Jane Goodall’s ground-breaking work with chimpanzees in Tanzania. He shot over 140 hours of extraordinary 16mm footage, which was then held in archives for decades - until now. Brett Morgan’s documentary revives this incredible film and combines it with new music by Philip Glass to create something suitably epic.

Deeply haunted by the brutal murder of his sister, he knows the only way to reclaim his soul is by slaying 1000 evil men. Encountering a young girl, he swears vengeance on the swordsmen who orphaned her - a quest that will change Manji in ways he could never imagine. In terms of histrionic violence and grandeur this is a career peak, even for Miike...

Breathtakingly beautiful footage of mountainous regions - from Antarctica to Hawaii - illustrates these musings, as director Jennifer Peedom (BAFTA nominated last year for Sherpa) returns to the peaks for a more philosophical look at why we are so compelled to make the climb.

Directed by award-winning writer Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The West Wing), Molly’s Game is based on the true story of an Olympic-class skier (Jessica Chastain) who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 armed FBI agents. Players included Hollywood royalty, business titans and, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her defence lawyer Charlie Jaffey (Idris Elba), who learned that there was much more to Molly Bloom than tabloid scandal...

Ridley Scott • USA 1982/2007 • 1h57m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong violence • Cast: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Daryl hannah, edward James Olmos, m emmet Walsh.

Ridley Scott’s iconic dystopian classic is unquestionably one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made. The year is 2019, and LA is playing unwitting host to a group of escaped synthetic humans called replicants. Bred for slavery on off-world colonies and outlawed on earth, these illegal immigrants are hunted by Blade Runners, and Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) has the task of ‘retiring’ them. What follows is a visually stunning and thematically dense future noir that delves deep into what it means to be human.

Here we see her behind the mask as a daughter, mother, sister and grandmother, alongside her spectacular, vibrant performances on-stage.

Borrowing an alter ego from Toddy’s ex-lover Victor, they embark on this risky (and risqué!) escapade. An Oscar® nominated comedy from the director/writer of The Pink Panther films, both Victor Victoria’s comedy and emotional drive hinge on gender fluidity.

Trouble is, McCauley’s cunning is at least equal to Hanna’s, and that makes him a hard man to nail. Still, unknown to Hanna, McCauley’s gang have their own troubles. Such a synopsis barely scratches the surface of Mann’s masterly crime epic, back on our screens in a new digital restoration.

The Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a pleasure from beginning to end.

Andrew Haigh’s subtly devastating film is about the fractured relationship between a couple - delightfully played by Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay - as they head towards their 45th wedding anniversary party. A powerful and enthralling follow-up to Haigh’s critically acclaimed 2011 film Weekend, the film (a success at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival) dwells on how an apparently happy union can be tormented by an echo from the past, with a decades-long bond threatened by insecurities and irrational jealousy

Kief Davidson, Pedro Kos • USA 2017 • 1h42m • Digital • English, Haitian, Spanish and Kinyarwanda with English subtitles • 12A Documentary.

Spanning contemporary and historic perspectives, this playful documentary brings to life what could be one of the most radical changes to our lives.

Can a peace 52 years in the making last? After five decades of violence, the Colombian government and the FARC entered into peace talks in 2012. They faced formidable obstacles, from the rehabilitation of guerilla fighters into civil society to the refusal of many Colombians to forgive the atrocities committed by all parties. Gripping and deeply moving, To End a War combines stunning cinematography with fascinating interviews, offering unprecedented access to the highest levels of power on both sides of the conflict.

Michel Hazanavicius • France 2016 • 1h42m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Louis Garrel, Stacy Martin, Bérénice Bejo, Gregory Gadebois, micha lescot, Olivia forest, félix Kysyi.

Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) takes on the French New Wave and runs with it in style. Charting the brief relationship of Jean-Luc Godard and Anne Wiazemsky, Hazanavicius gives his subject a thorough going over, sprinkled with irony, humour and affection. As Godard becomes more interested in politics he alienates his wife and his friends not to mention the public who preferred his zestful early films. With an almost unrecognisable Louis Garrel displaying a deft talent for comedy, Hazanavicius focuses on the inner turmoil of creative spirits.

LOST IN pArIS PAriS PieDS NuSThu 23 Nov at 8.00pm

Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon • France/Belgium 2017 • 1h23m Digital • French with English subtitles • PG • Cast: Fiona Gordon, Dominique Abel, emmanuelle riva, Pierre richard.

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) 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. Lost in Paris will have you leaving the cinema with a gleeful skip in your step and a renewed zest for life. With Q&A.

Nicolas Bedos • France 2017 • 2h • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Doria Tillier, Nicolas Bedos, Denis Podalydès.

Funny, stylish and touching tale of courting and married life in this comic drama bursting with charm from debut director Nicolas Bedos. The young and intellectual Sarah falls madly for a promising young writer, Victor, son of a wealthy bourgeois family who, dissatisfied with his choice of career and girlfriend, proceed to cut them off without a penny. Narrated from the viewpoint of Sarah, the film charts this fascinating relationship across decades, with all its joyful and torturous twists and turns.

Belmont Filmhouse is proud to be a venue partner of the French Film Festival UK which celebrates its 25th silver jubilee edition with a line-up of some of the most eagerly anticipated Francophone titles of the year, among them such Cannes 2017 hits as Redoubtable by Michel (The Artist) Hazanavicius (25 Nov) and also classics like Claude Berri’s Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources.

Thu 30 Nov at 6.00pm

Stéphane de Freitas • France 2017 • 1h39m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 12A • Documentary.

Speak Up follows a group of students taking part in an oratory competition in the Paris suburbs. The French have always had a way with words, which is why the annual college concours Eloquentia, or eloquence competitions, have such an important place. But not everyone is a born orator, nor are they necessarily given the tools - especially if they come from a family where French isn’t even the first language. The film looks at a group of mixed race students involved in the contest for the first time, and proves how the art of speech is key to universal understanding, social ascension, and personal revelation.

François Ozon • France 2017 • 1h47m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 18 • Cast: Marine Vacth, Jeremie Renier, Jacqueline Bisset, myriam Boyer, Dominique reymond.

François Ozon’s erotic thriller, about a woman Chloé (Marion Vacth) who falls in love with Paul, her psychoanalyst (Jérémie Renier) but discovers there’s more to him than meets the eye, sees the director back to his old tricks after the restrained Second World War saga Frantz. His latest foray has style, sex appeal and a delicious streak of craziness. Loosely based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel Lives of the Twins and with distinct shades of Brian De Palma and Hitchcock on the side. Watch out for Jacqueline Bisset in a neat cameo part.

Stéphane Brizé • France/Belgium 2015 • 1h59m • Digital • French with English subtitles • 15 • Cast: Judith Chemla, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, yolande moreau, Swann Arlaud, Nina meurisse, Olivier Perrier.

A moving, beautifully modulated adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s first novel, in which a young noblewoman copes with the loss of ideals. Stephane Brizé (The Measure of a Man) offers a dazzling mosaic of the trials and tribulations spanning 27 years in the life of Jeanne (Judith Chemla, Camille Rewinds). A revelation in the role, Chemla effortlessly encapsulates an expansive range of emotions and developments while exceptional camerawork, production design and costumes recreate every detail of Jeanne’s world.

Philippe Lioret • France/Canada 2015 • 1h38m • Digital • French with English subtitles • PG • Cast: Pierre Deladonchamps, Gabriel Arcand, Timothée Vom Dorp, Catherine de Léan, Marie-Thérèse Fortin.

Frenchman Mathieu (Pierre Deladonchamps) learns the father he never knew has just passed away, and is eager to unravel his life’s mystery, receive the package his father left him, and most of all to meet his two brothers. The following day, he travels to Quebec, where he is welcomed by his father’s best friend, Pierre. However, Mathieu’s intentions are thwarted when Pierre forbids him to reveal the purpose of his visit to his brothers who are unaware of their relationship. An extraordinary journey of self-discovery against the picturesque Quebec landscape.

In the mid-1920s, hunchback tax collector Jean Cadoret inherits a Provence farm, moving there with his wife and daughter to fulfil his naive city-dweller’s dreams of an idyllic pastoral life.

The tale resumes a decade later, focusing on Jean de Florette’s beautiful daughter, Manon (Emmanuelle Béart), a shepherdess with whom Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) falls hopelessly in love but fails to win. When Manon eavesdrops on hunters and learns the truth about the Soubeyrans and their plot against her father, she blocks the water supply to the village at its source in a cave only she knows about. Though deeply tragic, the story unfolds with charm, wit, and high spirits.

Their mother’s death brings them together to fulfill her last wish - to be buried next to their father who had died in the war under Saddam Hussein’s regime.

Instead of running away, though, she decides to stay with cantankerous old Satomi, the last geisha of Fukushima, who of her own accord has decided to retreat back to her destroyed house in the former radioactive exclusion zone. These two women couldn’t be more different, but each in her own way is trapped in the past and must learn to liberate herself from guilt and the burden of memory. £6.50/£5.50

Robin Hardy • UK 1973 • 1h26m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong violence • Cast: Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Britt Eckland, Diane Cilento, ingrid Pitt, lindsay Kemp.

Generally regarded as one of the best British horror films ever made, The Wicker Man focuses on a devout police officer who is sent to a remote Scottish island to investigate the case of a missing child. What he discovers, though, is a community that has renounced Christian values in favour of pagan fertility rites. It’s a movie about the crisis of faith, with an ending that can be interpreted in a number of ways. And on top of all that, it’s bloody scary...

Book Week Scotland (Mon 27 Nov - Sunday 3 Dec) is a week-long celebration of books and reading that takes place every November.

During Book Week, people of all ages and walks of life will come together in libraries, schools, community venues and workplaces to share and enjoy books and reading. Here at Belmont Filmhouse we’re celebrating with three special screenings of Scottish literature brought to screen!

Justin Kurzel • UK 2015 • 1h53m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong bloody violence • Cast: Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Sean Harris, elizabeth Debicki, Paddy Considine.

An ambitious Scottish duke is promised the throne by three mysterious witches, and his murderous coup begins to consume him. Shakespeare’s ‘Scottish Play’ returns to our screens in this thrilling, masculine and visually striking adaptation from Justin Kurzel (Snowtown), starring Michael Fassbender in the titular role and Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth in the timeless story of power, corruption and fate.

Alexander Mackendrick • UK 1949 • 1h24m • Digital • U - Contains no material likely to offend or harm • Cast: Basil Radford, Joan Greenwood, Jean Cadell, Gordon Jackson, James robertson.

The story of a ship that runs aground carrying 50,000 cases of whisky, and of the fictional Todday islanders’ attempts to salvage and hang on to the cargo. Compton Mackenzie, who wrote the famous comic novel, was inspired by a real wreck and by his experiences living among the islanders of Barra. The humour is gentle and wonderfully dry - the introductory voiceover sets the tone when talking about the isolation of Todday: “To the west there is nothing,” says the narrator, before adding as a throwaway line “... except America.”


IT’S A WONdErFuL LIFEFri 15 to Sun 24 Dec

Frank Capra • USA 1946 • 2h10m • Digital • U - Contains mild violence Cast: James Stewart, Donna reed, henry travers, lionel Barrymore, thomas mitchell.

This heartwarming fantasy is one of the most popular films ever made. The film begins as angels discuss George Bailey (James Stewart), a small-town resident so beset with problems that he contemplates suicide. In flashback, we review George’s life, learning that he has always wanted to leave his hometown to see the world, but that circumstances and his own good heart have kept him in Bedford Falls. Stewart is the heart and the soul of the film as the dreamer who sacrifices all for his fellow man. Bring a hanky!

They take us on a journey filled with all your favourite Muppets and a lot of talking vegetables too! Scrooge (Michael Caine) is so miserly he won’t even allow his fuzzy employees an extra piece of coal for the fire at Christmas. Such meanness is not tolerated by his deceased business partners, who appear to him one night and tell him that he must face up to his misdeeds. And so he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future...

It starts with a Christmas gift - a cute, cuddly little ‘mogwai’ - but the time of goodwill soon turns hellish when, splashed with water, the creature starts sprouting the titular monsters, whose sense of mischief extends to the murderous and beyond... With a characteristic mix of narrative anarchy, cinephile references, cartoon-style slapstick and black-tinged comedy, Joe Dante gleefully sinks his teeth into the kind of fluffy, sugary, sickly small town fantasy beloved of his pal and sometime producer Steven Spielberg.

John McTiernan • USA 1988 • 2h12m • Digital • 15 - Contains strong violence, language, nudity and hard drug use. Cast: Bruce Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, Alan rickman, Alexander Gudonov, Paul Gleason.

It’s Christmas time in Los Angeles, and there’s an employee party in progress on the 30th floor of the Nakatomi Corporation building. The revelry comes to a violent end when the partygoers are taken hostage by a group of terrorists headed by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), who plan to steal the 600 million dollars locked in Nakatomi’s high-tech safe. Meanwhile, smart-mouthed New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) has come to LA to visit his estranged wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), who happens to be one of the hostages... John McTiernan’s action siege caper has become a true alternative Christmas favourite - yippee-ki-yay!

Richard Donner • USA 1988 • 1h41m • Digital • PG - Contains moderate language and violence. • Cast: Bill Murray, Karen Allen, John Forsythe, Bobcat Goldthwait, David Johansen, Carol Kane, Alfre Woodard.

Belligerent TV exec Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is the youngest President in the history of television for a reason - he doesn’t care about anything but ratings and himself. But when he’s visited by the dusty spectre of his deceased former boss, who warns him he will be visited by three ghosts, it’s fair to say he has a lot more on his plate that his lunchtime sales meeting.

Richard Donner Scrooged is A Christmas Carol for the ‘80s ‘greed is good’ generation - with Murray a perfectly cast misanthrope and Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark) as is old flame, who tries to revive his humanity and rekindle his Christmas spirit.

Jon Favreau • USA/Germany 2003 • 1h33m • Digital • PG - Contains mild bad language. • Cast: Will Ferrell, James Caan, Zooey Deschanel, Bob Newhart, edward Asner.

Will Ferrell is at his wide-eyed best in this disarmingly funny and good-natured festive family frolic. Buddy (Ferrell) is an adult human who has been raised by elves at the North Pole after stowing away in Santa’s sack as an infant during his Christmas visit to an orphanage. Having finally realised that he is not like the other elves, he sets off to New York City to search for his birth father - and things are rather different there to say the least... He quickly finds himself inadvertently working at a department store, and meets Jovie (Zooey Deschanel), who he immediately falls for. Upon discovering that his father (James Caan) is a cold and greedy man - on Santa’s naughty list - Buddy resolves to help him find his Christmas spirit and change his life.
