FILM 8
The Great Beauty At once withering of its hyper- glamourous subjects and bewitched by them, Paolo Sorrentino’s portrait of high society Rome (starring his regular leading man, Toni Servillo) is a worthy companion piece to Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. See review, page 57. Limited release from Fri 6 Sep.

CHOSEN BY LAURIE CORLETT-DONALD OF DISCOPOLIS Fuck Buttons
‘In September Glasgow will see the triumphant return of Bristol-based electronicists Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power, aka Fuck Buttons. Having been absent from Scotland for over three years now, the duo are returning to let us hear material from their third album, Soft Focus. It’s a good time for the pair – the album has already become their i rst to break into the UK Top 40, and they recently played a headline slot to a packed audience on Glastonbury’s Park Stage. Blending a mix of carefully-crafted electronic music with shoegaze soundscapes (all executed to perfection live), this is not one to be missed if you are a fan of ‘going for it’ at a gig – their set will most likely send you into both rave- generated euphoria and grunge-induced head thrashing.’ Fuck Buttons with The Haxan Cloak, SWG3, Glasgow, Tue 10 Sep – see interview, page 64. Discopolis play with The Little Kicks and Miaoux Miaoux, Electric Circus, Edinburgh, Fri 30 Aug.
