During the war in 1944, three
Italian prisoners of war arrive
in an isolated community in the Black
Isle to help with the farming.
Ignored by the locals, worried
about families at home, and miserable
in the Scottish climate, they are
finally befriended by a cowman's wife.
The film explores what happens to a
community when people of a
different culture are forced to live and
work among them.
Michael Radford's 1996 Oscar
nomination for Best Director and Best Screenplay for Il Postino
later established him as one of the most
important British film directors of his generation.

“Jamie Bell is terrific”
a smart
coming-of-age tale from David Mackenzie (the director of Young Adam).
Jamie Bell plays the hero, so cut up

Mackenzie takes pains to keep him
this side of likeable, as he weaves an intriguing web of mystery, romance and
farce.
Backed by Giles Nuttgens' atmospheric
widescreen visuals, kooky animated titles and a too-cool-for-school indie soundtrack,
Hallam Foe is an impressive return to
form for Mackenzie.

Vibrant,
colourful setting for Bizet's Carmen— a feisty worker
in a cigarette factory tussles with post-Apartheid police in a South African
shanty town. Pauline Malafune's stunning lead,
breathtaking photography, performances and orchestral action all round won this
exotic and powerful African entry the Golden Bear at the 2006 Berlin Film
Festival. The Xhosa click language fits the music as if eternally made for each
other and the dynamic orchestra of young South Africans assembled especially to
record it. U-Carmen eKhayelitsha contrasts love and
obsession, duty and desire, What a score, what a film!

Douglas' autobiographical trilogy sees through his childhood’s eyes the mining
village of Newcraighall in the aftermath of the
Second World War, abandoned by his father, his mother unstable, friendship from
a prisoner-of-war. These pioneering
masterpieces of cinema realism won the highest accolades —The Silver Lion at
the Venice Film Festival and special prizes at Berlin—but are rarely seen in
Britain. "They are unique—no other piece of cinema ever showed those
quietly shivering landscapes" Jamie is played with heart-breaking
conviction by Stephen Archibald. In
brutal surroundings, and subject to hardship and rejection, he must fend for himself. We see him grow from child to adolescent –
angry and bewildered, but playful, creative and affectionate. “Watching the
Trilogy is far from a depressing experience. This is cinematic poetry:
