FILM LIST
ITurnerand Hooch (PG) (Roger Spottiswoode. US. 1989) Tom Hanks. Beazley, Mare Winningham. 108 mins. Hanks plays an obsessively clean and efficent cop who inherits Hooch the pooch. a massive mastiff. The limited comedy revolves around the dog's ability to drool gallons of of saliva and dismantle all obstacles while helping the police with their enquiries. Needless to say. the two form a loving relationship and needless to say the film was a winner in the US. but UK audiences had best hope that talents like Hanks. Spottiswoodc and even Beazley get better scripts in the future. Glasgow: Cannon The Forge. Odeon. Edinburgh: Odeon. Strathclyde: Odcon Hamilton. UCI Clydebank. UCl East Kilbride.
I Venus Pater ( 12) (Ian Sellar. UK. 1989) Ray McAnally. Gordon R. Strachan. David Hayman. 92 mins. Affecting adaptation shot on Orkney of Scots writer Christopher Rush‘s impressionisticA Twelvemonrh AndA Day. set in a fishing village in the 1950s. One ofMCAnaliy‘s last roles casts him beautifully as the sympathetic grandfather of Peter. played by nine-year-old Strachan (who is not to be confused with the diminutive Scottish midfield genius) in this moving study ofa dying community seen through the eyes of a young boy. Glasgow: OFT.
I West Side Story (PG) (Robert Wise & Jerome Robbins. US. 1961)Nataiic Wood. Richard Beymer. Russ Tambiyn. Rita Moreno. 155 mins. Romeo Andluliet revisited against a background of New York gangs. Great songs of course. but the playing of the stylised dancing against a realistic background contrives to make it all look rather camp these days. Edinburgh University Film Society.
I When Harry Met Sally ( 15) (Rob Reiner. US. 1989) Billy Crystal. Meg Ryan. Carrie Fisher. 95 mins. Thoughtful sex comedy has Crystal (Harry). Ryan (Sally) and Reiner on top form. with highly entertaining results. Nora Ephron‘s witty
screenplay intelligently ponders the possibility of male/female friendship with or without romance. and guess which side wins. . . Annie Hall for the late 19805. with now-famous faked orgasm. Glasgow: Odeon. Edinburgh: Dominion. Odeon.
5 Strathclyde: La Scala. UCI Ciydebank. UCI East Kilbride. WMR Film Centre. I Wings OI Desire ( 15) (Wim Wenders. W.
Germany .1987) Bruno Ganz. Otto Sander. Solveig Dommartin. Peter Faik. 127 mins. Restless angel Ganz on duty over Berlin takes a tip from American
movie star and former angel Falk on the
possibilities of crossing over. and follows his mentor's path to consummate his relationship with beautiful circus acrobat
Dommartin.Gorgeousblack-and-white ‘ photography and a sensitive feel for the people and places of Berlin grace this_
thematically rich and uncharacteristically optimistic slice of Wenders enchantment. Highly recommended. Edinburgh University Film Society.
I A WinterTan (18) (Canada. 1987) Jackie Burroughs.Erando Gonzalez. 91 mins. A sexual monologue with an extraordinary performance from Burroughs as American authoress Maryse liolder abandoning herself to the pursuit of pleasure in the form of numerous Mexican genitalia. Some kind of meditation may be going on about the nature of desire or on the other hand she‘s just having a few bonks over the border. Glasgow: GET.
I Women On The Verge or A Nervous Breakdown ( 15) (Pedro Almodovar. Spain. 1988) Carmen Maura. Antonio Banderas. Julieta Serrano. 98 mins. When Pepa’s illicit affair with an older man is abruptly terminated. she sets out for revenge. but is distracted by a succession of offbeat visitors seeking her calming influence. A splendidly bizarre character comedy from the maker of Law OfDesire. with some off-the-wall acting and a plot that pays ironic but affectionate homage to the classic Hollywood comedies of the 1950s. Glasgow: GET. Edinburgh: Cameo.
