I FILMHOUSEI
Hamlet (Grigori Kozintsev. USSR. 1964) 6.15pm. Based on Pasternak's translation of Shakespeare. the character of Hamlet is more threatening than in traditional Western interpretations. The prison-like Elsinore is perfectly complimented by Shostakovich's impressive score.
I CAMEOI
‘I’rust (Hal Hartley. US. l99())6.45pm. Hartley‘s follow-up to The Unbelievable Trth is a darkly comic view ofmiddle America. Maria causes family uproar when she gets pregnant by her quarterback boyfriend. and the film follows her struggle to achieve social normality.

I FILMHOUSE1
Volere Volare (Maurizio Nichetti/Guido Manuli. Italy. 1991 ) 9pm. Nichettiscored a low-key hit with The Icicle Thief. and follows it up here with an even more extravagant fantasy based on the sexual desires of a man who dubs sound effectson cartoons. One day. in true Roger Rabbit style. he turns into a cartoon himself.
I FILMHOUSE 2
Sorry I'm Late (Massimo Troisi. Italy. 1983) 9. 15pm. A Neapolitan good-for-nothing falls in love with a girl he meets at a party. but she lives outsidethe city. He can win her over only by becoming more responsible and caring.
