FILM LIST
I The Untouchables (15) (Brian De Palma, US, 1987) Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro. 119 mins. Chicago during Prohibition is a city in the pocket of bloated all-powerful gangster Al Capone but youthful, naive treasury officer Eliot Ness, inspired by the true grit of Connery‘s over-the-hill Irish cop, forms an elite squad of incorruptible officers who vow to put him behind bars or see him in hell first.
A blood-drenched morality tale on a grand Shakespearean scale, The Untouchables is a film with the look and feel of greatness in every myth-celebrating frame.
Glasgow; Cannon Sauchiehall Street, Grosvenor. Edinburgh; Dominion
I Up In Smoke (18) (Lou Adler, US, 1978) Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Stacy Keach. 86 mins. Cheech and Chong made their movie debut in this dopey comedy about two guys in search of some good grass. Ten years on they still remain an acquired taste. Glasgow; Grosvenor
I Vagabond. (15) (Agnes Varda, France, 1985) Sandrine Bonnaire, Macha Meril, Yolande Moreau. 106 mins. An austere and lyrical portrait of Mona, a dropout from society, wandering the wintry landscapes of the South of France in an aimless quest for freedom, but a freedom that involves only loneliness, hunger and hypothermia. ‘
An uncompromising performance from Miss Bonnaire graces this unhurried, intense and affecting memorial to a troubled and despairing representative of Eighties’ youth. Edinburgh; Filmhouse I Veronika V088 (15) (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, W. Germany, 1982) Rosel Zech, Hilrnar Thate, Annemarie Duringer. 105 mins. The final film in Fassbinder's trilogy on post-war Germany focuses on a fading 405‘ film star, once a friend of Goebbels, and now, in the
mid-505, a hopeless morphine addict. Edinburgh; Cameo
I The Wanton ( 18) (Walter Hill, US. 1979) Michael Beck, James Remar. 90 mins. Hill's Sledgehammer technique was at its most effective in this violent, visceral, fastopaeed saga of a New York gang who have to traverse the turf of a deadly rival to return to home base. Glasgow; GFT
I Who's That Old? (PG) (James Foley. US, 1987) Madonna, Griffin Dunne, John Mills. 97 mins. Plodding screwball comedy with Miss M as a dippy parolee determined to clear name, and Dunne in familiar guise as the yuppie bridegroom assigned to ensure she leaves town but charmed into assisting her quest. A sloppy, inert, dog’s dinner of a film. Edinburgh; Cannon. Strathclyde; Odeon Hamilton
I TM Witch“ of Eastwlclt (18) (George Miller, US, 1987) Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon. 118 mins. Suffocating in the prim tranquility of a small town in New England, three single women set their collective brian power towards conjuring up the perfect Mr Right. Next morninga mysterious stranger suddenly appears, as if in answer to their prayers, and begins to charm the pants offthem. But, the ripe, randy and rakish Daryl Van Horne isthe devil in disguise and there is a price to pay fortheir pleasure . . .
A joyous, diabolical romp with a superb
cast and Nicholson having the time of his life as the ‘horny little devil‘.
