We went all along a canal and out to the suburbs. There was all manner of things going on along that canal in the wee small hours.

SUMMARY:FFF: THE WELL-DIGGER’S DAUGHTER /LA FILLE DU PUISATIER (12)
DESCRIPTION:Director Daniel Auteuil  Cast Daniel Auteuil\, Kad Merad\, Sabine Azéma\, Jean-PierreDarroussin\, Emilie Cazenave\, Nicolas Duvauchelle\, Astrid Berges-Frisbey    2011 I 107mins I Int. sales Pathe    Twenty-five years after hemade his name acting in Claude Berri’s adaptations of two ofMarcel Pagnol’smost famous novels\, Jean de Florette andManon des sources\, Daniel Auteuil returns to theworld of simple country life in Provence (and the place of his own childhood) for his first feature as a director. La fille du puisatier\, originallymade as a filmby thewriter himself in 1940\, deals with an unmarried girl\, Patricia (Astrid Berges-Frisbey)\, the daughter of the well-digger Pascal Amoretti (Auteuil)\,who gets herself pregnant just after turning 18. The father-to-be\, Jacques (Nicolas Duvauchelle) is not around\, having been called up as a fighter pilot in thewar and he has gonemissing\, presumed dead. Since he is also the son of awealthy businessman\,MrMazel (Jean-Pierre Darroussin)\, the chances are that since the young couplewere only together on two occasions\, neither the boy nor his family – and certainly not his mother (Sabine Azéma) – are likely to admit to having anything to dowith the pregnant daughter of a humblewell-digger. It’s beautifully shot in perpetual sunshine and superbly scored by Alexandre Desplat (The King’s Speech)\,whomakes fine use of early 1940s period songs to heighten the atmosphere. The simplicity of Auteuil’s direction gives the film its truly authentic charm.    UK DISTRIBUTOR PATHE UK UK RELEASE DATE: 9 DECEMBER 2011

SUMMARY:FFF: ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS /LES EMOTIFS ANONYMES (12A)
DESCRIPTION:Director Jean-PierreAméris  Cast Benoît Poelvoorde\, Isabelle Carré\, Lorella Cravotta\, Lise Mamétrie\, Swan Arlaud\, Pierre Niney\, Stephan Wojtowicz    2010 I 80mins I Int. sales STUDIOCANAL    This modest\, but absolutely delicious\, confection is packedwith bittersweet humour and genuine charm. A sprightly tale of two exceptionally shy individualswith a shared professional interest in chocolate – and neither of themrealises the other also suffers fromthe constant tension of heightened emotional sensitivity. For both central characters – chocolate-maker Angelique (the sublime Isabelle Carré) and chocolate company owner Jean-René (Benoît Poelvoorde) – the obstacles of everyday life consists of repeatedly overcoming a permanent case of stage fright. Jean-René seems to be paralysed by the ringing of his own phone\,while Angelique panics or faints when her qualities are recognised. The pair could certainly be soul-mates\, butwhen they’re together neither has a clue howto communicatewithout being at cross purposes.When they attend a chocolate trade showtogether and aremistakenly booked into the same hotel room\, the duowould rather take a longwalk in a downpour than navigate the emotionalminefield of the situation. Carré and Poelvoorde inhabit their offbeat romancewith subtle comic skill. Co-screenwriters Jean-Pierre Améris and Philippe Blasband have prepared a deliciouslywitty script filledwith rich characters that are packedwith honesty and humour.

DESCRIPTION:Director Angelina Maccarone  Cast Peter Lindbergh\, Paul Auster\, Barnaby Southcombe\, Juergen Teller\, Frederick Seidel\, Franckie Diago\, Anthony Palliser\, Cynthia Fleury\, Joy Fleury    2011 I 95mins    Throughout her nearly half-century career\, actress Charlotte Rampling has rarely shied away fromexposing herself onscreen. In this engaging documentary she bares it all yet again\, but this time in a series of compelling discussionswith different artists\,writers\, photographers and filmmakers. It emerges less of a standard biographical study than a free-wheeling tête-à-tête separated into thematic chapterswith titles like Demons\, Desire and Death. Director Angelina Maccarone (Vivere) accompanies Rampling on visits to various artists-cum-friends\,withwhomshe chats about her unique approach toworking in front of the camera from early nude work with Helmut Newton to her controversial portrayal of an S&Mpracticing concentration camp survivor in Liliani Cavani’s 1974 shocker\, TheNight Porter.

SUMMARY:FFF: THE FAIRY /LA FÉE (12)
DESCRIPTION:Directors Dominique Abel\, Bruno Romy\, Fiona Gordon  Cast Dominique Abel\, Fiona Gordon\, Bruno Romy\, Philippe Martz    2011 I 93mins Int. salesMK2    At once poised and headily anarchic\, the visual absurdismof Abel\, Gordon and Romy is one of the most distinctive comic styles in today’s cinema. Following Iceberg and Rumba\, their new feature takes their laid-back eccentricity into the realms of the magical. Dom (Abel) is a receptionist in a small seaside hotel. One night\, awoman named Fiona (Gordon) checks in\, announces that she’s a fairy\, and grants Dom three wishes – of which he promptly chooses the first two. Romance soon blossoms between a pair clearlymade for each other – partners in a series of elaborately crafted\, audaciously executed sight gags that showcase the duo’s Keatonesque acrobatic prowess and gawky grace. A sort of cartoon fantasia\, except with human actors\, The Fairy is an idiosyncratic flight of fancy – an oddly fastidious blend of slapstick\, circus\, dance and trompe l’oeil illusionism. Among the highlights: an underwater balletwith plastic-bag jellyfish\, and a hair-raising race to save a baby in peril. Utterly sophisticated yet somehow winningly innocent\, The Fairy sees Abel\, Gordon and co-director Romy (who plays amyopic café owner) casting a spell that’s entirely their own.

SUMMARY:FFF: Impardonnables (N/C 15+)
DESCRIPTION:Director André Techiné    Cast Andre Dussollier\, Carole Bouquet\, Mélanie Thierry\, Adriana Asti\, Mauro Conte    2011 I 111mins I Int. Sales TF1 International    A successful novelist comes to Venice for peace and quiet towrite his next book – but tranquility is the last thing veteran André Techiné (FFF UK special focus last year) has on his mind. His adaptation transforms Philippe Djian’s novel into a dense\, fast-moving narrative with his unique style and many of his familiar signature themes. The seductive setting (a typical images of Venice and the nearby remote\, verdant island of Sant’ Erasmo\, all superbly shot) lend amesmeric atmosphere. There are extraordinary performances to appreciate\, especially André Dussollier’s Francis\, a famous\, womanizing\, older novelist out of touchwith his feelings\,who manages to get writer’s block whenever he falls in love. Carole Bouquet is consistently watchable as the gorgeous\, butch\, bisexual Judith\, a younger empathetic\, tough\, and unconstrained model-turned-real estate agent. Techiné invests it allwith the pitch-perfect pace of a thriller\, which packs an emotional punch.    Edinburgh Filmhouse Sun 13 Nov 18:00

SUMMARY:FFF: Route 132 (N/C 15+)
DESCRIPTION:Director Louis Bélanger    Cast François Papineau\, Alexis Martin\, Sophie Bourgeois\, Alice Morel-Michaud\, Bobby Beshro\, Andrée Lachapelle\, Benoît McGinnis    2010 I 113mins I Int. Sales FunFilm Distribution    Louis Belanger’s tale of a father devastated by his five-year-old son’s death\, never hits a wrong note\, thanks to standout performances and a script that patiently builds characters. Adroitly interweaving a classic genre\, the buddy roadmovie\,with adults’ shattered reactions to their children’s deaths (a theme examined by fellow Canadian Atom  Egoyan’s The Sweet Hereafter)\, the film drives its universal themes through a closely observed\, and very specific Quebec setting. Gilles (François Papineau)\, the father whose young son suddenly dies from meningitis\, runs away fromthe doctor\, the funeral\, his university teaching job and the whole city\, thanks to a chance meeting with disreputable old pal Bob (co-scripter Alexis Martin). Route 132 feels like a French Canadian Five Easy Pieces\, blending comic road-movie encounters with emotionally resonant prodigal son reunions.

DESCRIPTION:Director Alain Cavalier    Cast Vincent Lindon\, Alain Cavalier\, Bernard Bureau\, Jonathan Duong\, Huber-Ange fumey\, Jean-Pierre Lindon\, Manuel Marty\, Claude Uzan    | 2011 I 105mins I Int. Sales Pathe International    It’s witty\, urbane and quintessentially French. Pater is a game two famous adult men play with the camera in an offbeat film closer to documentary than to fiction. Veteran Alain Cavalier and his friend\, actor Vincent Lindon\, filmthemselves as they pretend to be businessmen-politicians campaigning for office. The politics are so tongue-in-cheek and the protagonists so articulate and funny that the film works. Cavalier’s rare film work now revolves around diary-style films (Lives\, Le Filmeur) he shoots himself using a small DV cam and the help of his companion and co-editor Francoise Widhoff. Though both Cavalier and Lindon mention their fathers\, the Pater of the title seems to refer to a political dynasty that just goes on and on\,whoever wins the elections.

DESCRIPTION:Director Zabou Breitman Cast Julie-Marie Parmentier\, Nina Rodriguez\, Antonin Chalon\, Bernard Campan\, Zabou Breitman\, Gregorie Bonnet\, Guilaine Londez\, Eric Valero    2010 I 105mins I Int. Sales Roissy Films    Actress-director Zabou Breitman (Someone I Loved – FFF 2010) delivers a heartfelt story of a teenage girl’s relationshipwith a 19-year-old vagabond she welcomes into her family’s home. Breitman approaches her subject with a certain delicacy\, extracting credible performances from a young cast and gracing the screen with her usual stylistic flourishes. Based on a novel by Delphine de Vigan and adapted by Breitman and regular co-writer Agnes de Sacy\, the narrative follows precocious 13-year-old Lou (Nina Rodriguez)\, a straight-A student who suffers from the emotional vacuum left in her family by the death of an infant sister. While preparing a school report on the homeless she meets Nora\, nicknamed “No” (Julie-Marie Parmentier)\, a feisty street urchinwho spends her days in and around the Gare d’Austerlitz station.Nora reluctantly accepts to be interviewed by the serious-minded child\, marking the start of their oddball relationship.

SUMMARY:FFF: Les Géants (N/C 15+)
DESCRIPTION:Director Bouli Lanners  Cast Zacharie Chasseriaud\, Martin Nissen\, Paul Bartel\, Karim Leklou\, Didier Toupy\, Gwen Berrou\, Marthe Keller  2011 I 84mins I Int. Sales Memento Films International  Belgian director Bouli Lannerswas a painter before he turned to acting and filmmaking\, and there’s ample evidence of that background in the sumptuous visuals of The Giants\,with lush landscapes and a wooded river setting that show the majestic beauty of nature at its most seductive. Three appealing young actors bring unforced charm\, buoyancy and vulnerability to this coming of age story. Written by Lanners and Elise Ancion\, The Giants is a European take on modern Hollywood films about the exhilarating freedoms and jarring dangers of adolescent experience\, such as The Outsiders or Stand By Me. The film is more focused on mood and on suggesting the inner lives of its characters than on their adventures and adversities\, and its unvarnished depiction of the harsh betrayals and disappointments of the world provides glimmers of a grittier brand of social realism. It’s also slickly packagedwith high-sheen production values. Two brothers in their mid-teens\, Zak (Zacharie Chasseriaud) and Seth (Martin Nissen)\, are left to their own devices and dwindling funds by an absentee mother working abroad. Shacked up for the summer at the rural cottage of their late grandfather\, they strike up a warm friendship with another unsupervised local teenager\, Dany (Paul Bartel) and the gang hatch plans and go joyriding in grandpa’s beat-up car.    Bouli Lanners will be at all the screenings of The Giants.  Edinburgh Filmhouse Fri 2 Dec 18:00 + PA

Durringer and co-writer Patrick Rotman appear to relish depicting all the conniving\, backstabbing\, and fork-pointing which are part and parcel of any electoral battle. The talented Comèdie Française actor Denis Podalydès provides a pitch-perfect imitation – he nails everything from the duck-like shuffle to the erratic hand gestures to the gruff speech patterns. The film cuts back and forth between the hours on May 7\, 2007\,which show Sarkozy awaiting the results of an election he was sure to win\, and the years leading up to that moment\,which explain how he got there. As the sleazy former president\, Bernard Le Coq delivers the film’s most laugh-out-loud moments.    London Ciné Lumière Sat 12 Nov 20:00 & Mon 14 Nov 20:40  Edinburgh Filmhouse Sun 20 Nov 20:30

DESCRIPTION:Director Christophe Honoré    Cast Chiara Mastroianni\, Catherine Deneuve\, Ludivine Sagnier\, Louis Garrel\, Milos Forman    2011 I 138mins I Int sales Celluloid Dreams    After working with Chiara Mastroianni in his last film (Making Plans for Lena)\, Christophe Honoré in a stroke of inspiration has teamed her with her mother Catherine Deneuve as Madeleine and Vera (mere et fille) in his globe-trotting musical extravaganza with distinct shades of Jacques Demy. Based on several love stories set at different times\, ambitiously it spans different cities over more than four decades from Paris and Prague in the Sixties to contemporary London and Montreal. Ludivine Sagnier portrays the stylishly haughty shoe saleswoman (and occasional prostitute)\, Madeleine\, of the ‘60s\,while Catherine Deneuve is the Madeleine of the ‘90s in her second marriage\, but still has the occasional tryst with her first husband\, played by Milos Forman. Chiara Mastroianni\, is the adult version of her on-screen daughter\, Vera\, in the ‘90s and early 2000s. Like her mother in the film\, she meanders in and out of the lives of the men she loves with all the frivolity\, fun\, bitterness and pain love possesses. Honoré working on a vast canvas compared to Love Songswith the same composer Alex Beaupain looks at how the passage of time changes realities related to emotions in a film that unashamedly wears its heart and its music on its sleeve.    Christophe Honoré will be in conversation at all three screenings.    London Ciné Lumière Fri 18 Nov 18:15 + Q&A  Edinburgh Filmhouse Sat 19 Nov 20:00 + Q&A

SUMMARY:FFF:Vol Spécial(15)
DESCRIPTION:With its reputation for economic stability and neutrality\, it is not surprising that Switzerland remains  a tempting haven for refugees fromAfrica and Eastern Europe. However\, according to a Swiss law passed via referendum\, those without documentation can be abruptly arrested\, held without recourse to a lawyer for up to 24 months and summarily bundled onto a plane back to their country of origin. No warning is necessary\, and there is no appeal. A follow-up to his award-winning The Fortress\, Special Flight finds docu helmer  Fernand Melgar again exploring issues surrounding undocumented immigrants in Switzerland. Melgar maintains a “pure” documentary style with no voiceover\, barely any explanatory titles and no investigation. As a collective portrait of a group of hapless men held in detention with deportation looming\, Special Flight is an affecting work. Rejected asylum seekers and illegal migrants are jailed at the administrative detention centre  Frambois near Geneva. Behind the closed prison doors\, tension builds day by day. On one side there are wardens full of humanist values\, on the other there are men defeated by fear and stress. Relations of friendship and hate\, respect and revolt are formed until the announcement of the deportation\, which is experienced like a stab. Those who refuse to leave are handcuffed\, tied up and forcibly put in a plane.  Winner of the Ecumenical Prize at the Locarno FilmFestival.

SUMMARY:FFF:Solutions locales pour un désordre global (PG)
DESCRIPTION:In what’s already been called a “radical and exhilarating” documentary manifesto\, the unstoppable  Coline Serreau (forever linked to her early hit Three Men and a Baby) digs into the problem of  industrialised agriculture\, quizzing farmers and philosophers alike\, across the globe. “Films full of warnings and disasters have been made and have served their purpose\, but now it is time to showthat solutions do exist\,” states Coline Serreau. “It is time to hear what farmers\, philosophers and economists have to say. While explaining why our social model has got bogged down in the ecological\, financial\, and political crises that we all know about\, these people invent and try out alternatives.”Serreau  interviews farmers\, microbiologists and agricultural engineers who measure the vastness of the problem and the limited efficacy of small-scale solutions. She highlights her experts’ amiable charisma as they expound on destructive practices and propose organic alternatives. She paints a series of grim pictures: an abandoned French countryside; 150\,000 farmers committing suicide in India; jobless generations in Morocco; a once self-sufficient food chainreduced to a single-crop commodity dependent on chemical enhancements and large machinery; and dead soil and sick plants wherever you look.

Dealing to some extent with the nature of film making its quirkiness may bring it a cult following.The story hinges on a depressive Z-list actor called Franky (Pablo Nicomedes)and his manager Arsene (Olivier Gourmet)who\, in a last-ditch bid for fame andfortune\, set off in a stolen car to travel to a mid-summer film festival inside thePolar Circle. The objective is to track down the legendary director George Sarrineff (Nils Utsi) and convince him of the bankability of their latest project.Along theway they pick up Douglas (Bakary Sangare)\, a mysterious traveller sporting a sculpted Afro haircut and given to gnomic utterances.With passing nods at Jarmusch\, Aki Kaurismaki\, David Lynch\, Jean-Luc Godard\,B-movies\, zombie movies\, and rockabilly ymusic\, this has a wide-ranging appeal.

DESCRIPTION:Director Jean Delannoy    Cast Madeleine Sologne\, Jean Marais\, Jean Murat\, Junie Astor\, Roland Toutain\,Jane Marken\, Jean d’Yd\, Pierre Piéral\,A lexandre Rignault\, Yvonne de Bray    I Scr Jean Cocteau I Mus Georges Auric I 1943 I 107mins    One of the many towering cinematic achievements that miraculously  came out of France’s darkest hour\, L’Éternel retour unites the creative talent of director Jean Delannoy and writer Jean Cocteau. The result is an intensely moving film about love\, jealousy  and malice\, captivating in its lyrical charm\, yet haunting in its assessment of the worst in human nature. The film is based on the timeless story of Tristan and Isolda\, updated to a contemporary France setting. The film’s title derives from Cocteau’s belief that the same stories recur again and again in history\, without the protagonists realising. Perhaps not surprisingly\, given the time at which the film was made\, this is one of Delannoy’s darkest films. It features one of his most brilliant and terrifying creations\, the dwarf Achille (brought to life by a remarkable performance from Pierre Piéral). The sheer wickedness of Achille heightens the nobility of Patrice and the blonde Nathalie\, who are portrayed by Jean Marais and Madeleine Sologne\, both actors at the height of their powers in mesmerising performances.
