Film Index
when he cruelly disabuses a toddler of the notion that the tooth fairy exists, and is sentenced to a punishment of two weeks hard graft as a fairy. Cineworld Parkhead, Glasgow. Toy Story 3 2D (U) ●●●●● (Lee Unkrich, USA, 2010) Voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack. 108min. Andy has grown up and is on the way to college, so everyone’s favourite toys are packed off to Sunnyside day-care centre. After a whirlwind of close-cut situations, the film manages to retain its good humour and pathos long enough to bring all the characters safely to a satisfying resolution. General release. Toy Story 3 3D (U) ●●●●● (Lee Unkrich, USA, 2010) Voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack. 108min. See above. General release. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (12A) ●●●●● (David Slade, US, 2010) Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner. 123min. The epic relationship between Bella (Stewart) and undead Edward (Pattinson) falters when her new lupine friend Jacob (Lautner) is added to the mix. Will humans, vampires and werewolves ever get on? The fun of Twilight is seeing this situation treated as though it is of life-shattering importance. Selected release. The Valiant (U) ●●●●● (Roy Ward Baker, Italy/UK, 1962) John Mills, Ettore Manni, Roberto Risso. 90min. World War Two drama telling the story of a tense stand- off between two Italian prisoners of war and the crew of the HMS Valiant. Part of Projecting the Archive season. Filmhouse, Edinburgh.
✽✽ Villa Amalia (PG) ●●●●● (Benoit Jacquot, France, 2009) Isabelle
Huppert, Maya Sansa, Xavier Beauvois. 94min. On discovering her husband’s infidelity, a concert pianist (Huppert) systematically destroys all traces of her past life and sets of with only a weekend bag for the Neapolitan coast. The editing of this spare existential drama is elliptical,
heightening the mysteriousness of the encounters within, and the impressive cinematography and powerfully dissonant score only add to a memorable achievement. Glasgow Film Theatre.
✽✽ Went The Day Well? (PG) ●●●●● (Alberto Cavalcanti, UK,
1942) Leslie Banks, Elizabeth Allan, Frank Lawton. 92min. The original intention might have been to make a propaganda thriller to warn the British public about German infiltrators, but superior filmmaking qualities mean that Went the Day Well? has stood the test of time. A German paratroop regiment invade a remote UK village, but the locals fight back with uncompromising measures. A touch of realism gives the film its edge. Reissue Filmhouse, Edinburgh. Whatever Works (12A) ●●●●● (Woody Allen, US, 2009) Ed Begley Jr, Patricia Clarkson, Larry David. 91min. David plays a misanthropic nuclear physicist whose life is suddenly changed when a naïve runaway waif from the Deep South (Wood) turns up on his doorstep. Promising beginnings give way in the second half and this doesn’t quite amount to the comedy delight that aficionados of Jewish humour may hanker after. Cameo, Edinburgh. Wild Target (12A) ●●●●● (Jonanhan Lynn, UK/France, 2010) Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Eileen Atkins. 90min. Unconvincing and unfunny remake of 1994 French farce about a middle-aged hitman (Nighy) who finds his professional routine upset by the feelings he develops for his latest target, kooky thief Rose (Blunt). Cameo, Edinburgh. Yojimbo (15) ●●●●● (Akira Kurosawa, Japan, 1961) Toshiro Mifune, Eijiro Tono, Kamatari Fujiwara. 110min. Mifune’s unheroic and lazy samurai sells his services to two rival factions in a small town and then sits back to watch them destroy each other. Darkly comic exercise in Japanese violence which later served as a blueprint for Sergio Leone’s For A Few Dollars More. Part of Kurosawa season. Glasgow Film Theatre.
