most mundane ot concerns. but this trrrn. wluch unfolds in real time. is as nerve-wracking as any Hitchcock thriller.

Notorious at the tiute. (‘orman's biker movie seems dated now. lacking the wide American vision of Iz'mv Rfl/(W'. That said. the relentless nihilism of the movie lifts it above typical teen exploitation and the fact that real Hells Angels helped the production adds an uncomfortable edge. lidinburgh: liilrn (iuild. I Wild At Heart (18) (David Lynch. 1S. 1990) Nicholas (‘age. Laura Dern. Diane 1.add, Willem Dafoe. 127 rnins. Lynch's much-hyped (‘annes prize-winner turns out to be weird and wondrous in its own way. if not quite as cohesive as the earlier lihu' li'Ii-rr. (‘age and Dern are the energetic young lovers on the run. pursued by ultrastrange lritman Dafoe on a sometimes :omic. sometimes disturbing. trail towards the rltimate rendezvous with lilvis and the Wizard if 01.. lidinburgh: (‘ameo I The Wild Bunch (Sam Peckinpah. 1S. 1969) W'illiam Holden. [finest Borgninc. Robert Ryan. 14.5 mins. The bloody but emotionally sensitive ale of a battle to the death between rough-riding l'exans and Mexican revolutionaries.

Restless angel (ianz on duty over Berlin takes a tip from American movie star and former angel Palk on the possibilities of crossing over. and follows his mentor's path to consummate his relationship with beautiful circus acrobat Domrnartin. Gorgeous black-and-white photography and a sensitive feel for the people and places of Berlin grace this thematically rich and uncharacteristically optimistic slice of Wenders enchantinent. Highly recommended. Glasgow: (ii-'1'. I Witchtinder General (18) (Michael Reeves. l'K. 1968) Vincent Price. 1an()gilvy. Rupert Davies. 87 rnins. ()ne of the best British horror films ever. utterly bleak and tilled with the nihilism of director Reeves (who committed suicide :1 year after its completion). Price is at his ruost completely evil as true-life witchfinder Matthew Hopkins. sadistically travelling the country to torture unfortunates in the name of church and state. lidinburgh: Filmhouse.

I The Young Poisoner's llandboolt (18) (Benjamin Ross) Hugh ()‘Conor. Antony Sher. Charlotte Coleman. 105 mins. Adolescent bitterness and a schoolboy fascination with toxic substances become a lethal chemical cocktail when teenager Graham Young starts poisoning family and friends. Director Ross takes great risks with his material. but the tone is expertly rendered - there are moments of excruciating horror and nastiness. but they're complemented by a dark and disturbing comedy. Fife: New Picture House.
