Julia’s Eyes Los ojos de Julia Friday 20 May – Thursday 2 June

A woman investigates the death of her twin sister while slowly losing her sight in this tense Spanish thriller, produced by Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth). When Julia’s (The Orphanage’s Belén Rueda) twin sister is found hanging in the family basement, everyone assumes she committed suicide. Not convinced, Julia sets out to discover the true cause of her sister’s death. Suffering from a degenerative disease that will eventually leave her blind, she soon senses the sinister presence of an ‘invisible man’. Does he really exist or is he merely a distortion of her failing eyesight? Is he responsible for her sister’s death? This stylish throwback to the giallo era is genuinely shocking.

Director Guillem MoralesCast Belén Rueda, Lluís Homar, Pablo DerquiSpain 2010, 1h57m, subtitles, 15

Angels of EvilVallanzasca – Gli angeli del maleFriday 27 May – Thursday 9 June

In recent years there have been biopics on infamous criminals the Baader Meinhof Gang, Carlos the Jackal and Mesrine. Now meet Renato Vallanzasca, scourge of the Italian police throughout the 1970s and 80s. A criminal by the age of nine, Vallanzasca grows up to become the country’s most notorious mobster, wresting control of the Milan underworld through a string of high-profile robberies, kidnappings and murders. His actions and devilish charm catch the attention of a celebrity-starved public while his many daring escapes from prison only serve to feed his legend. This exceptional crime epic is stylishly shot throughout, colour grading recreating the period perfectly, and features a phenomenal performance by Kim Rossi Stuart as the narcissistic and ruthless crime lord.

Heartbeats Friday 27 May – Thursday 2 June

Precociously talented and critically adored twenty-one-year-old director Xavier Dolan follows up his acclaimed I Killed My Mother (GFF 2010) with a stylish depiction of youthful obsession and bad romance. Best friends Marie and Francis are inseparable until they both fall for gorgeous new boy Nicolas. While they compete comically for his attention, sly Nico refuses to divulge where his sexual preferences lie. Another hit for Dolan at Cannes, Heartbeats is an amusing and tender portrayal of young people adapting to the constantly shifting rules of modern love.

Director Xavier Dolan / Cast Monia Chokri, Niels Schneider, Xavier Dolan / Canada/France 2010, 1h40m, subtitles, 15

Le Quattro Volte Friday 27 May – Thursday 2 June

Hailed as a ‘genre defying work of cinematic transcendence’, Le Quattro Volte was one of the great discoveries of last year’s Cannes Film Festival. The eagerly awaited second feature from Michelangelo Frammartino is a spellbinding fusion of languidly beautiful imagery and bracing philosophical rumination. The circle of life lies at the heart of a film shot in the countryside of Calabria and focusing on an elderly shepherd who will eventually become a baby goat, a giant tree and a lump of coal as his soul undergoes a journey from human to animal, vegetable and mineral. A work of great originality and poise, Le Quattro Volte is also playful, tender and surprisingly poignant.Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

Mammuth Friday 3 – Sunday 12 June

The story of a man, a mission and a motorbike. Serge (Gérard Depardieu) is an abattoir worker who retires only to find that he doesn’t have a pension and needs to track down paperwork from his former employers. Hitting the road on his Mammuth bike, he has a series of variously humiliating and inspiring encounters – including a reunion with a long-lost cousin, the cue for one of the most outrageous sight gags in recent cinema. Isabelle Adjani makes an eerie appearance as a woman from the past, while outsider artist Miss Ming makes her distinctly oddball mark. Above all, the screen is filled – and then some – by Depardieu, casting vanity, long hair and often clothes to the winds. Reconnecting with the spirit of Bertrand Blier’s Les Valseuses, Depardieu clearly hits it off a treat with the directors Delépine and de Kervern, whose anarchic cheek and up-yours radicalism are, despite a new-found lyricism, here in full force. Jonathan Romney

Vidal Sassoon Monday 30 May – Thursday 2 June

Vidal Sassoon is more than just a hairdresser – he’s a rock star, an artist, a craftsman who ‘changed the world with a pair of scissors’. With the geometric, Bauhaus-inspired hairdos he pioneered in the 1960s and his ‘wash and wear’ philosophy that liberated generations of women from the tyranny of the salon, Sassoon revolutionised the art of hairstyling and left an indelible mark on popular culture. This fun, fast-paced documentary traces with visual gusto the life of a self-made man whose passion and perseverance took him from a Jewish orphanage in London to the absolute pinnacle of his craft, combining vintage footage and modern-day conversations with family and colleagues and, of course, plenty of heartfelt reminiscences with the charismatic 81-year-old master himself.

Love Like Poison Un poison violent Monday 6 – Wednesday 8 June

Family, sex and religion are explored in this coming-of-age story by young French director Katell Quillévéré. Fourteen-year-old Anna returns home from boarding school for the holidays to find emotions running high. At home her mother and father have separated. Her mother seeks solace by forming an uneasy relationship with the village priest whilst Anna spends time with her bed-ridden grandfather. She struggles to understand her feelings on Catholicism in the face of her upcoming communion and attentions from an eager choir boy. A rich drama made especially memorable by a standout performance from the young Clara Augarde.

Senna Friday 3 – Thursday 16 June

The story of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest race car driver who ever lived, is an epic tale that literally twists at every turn. In the mid 1980s, Senna, a young, gifted driver, exploded onto the world of Formula One racing. As a Brazilian in a predominantly European sport, a purist in a world polluted with backroom deals, and a man of faith in an arena filled with cynicism, Senna had to fight hard – both on and off the track. Facing titanic struggles, he conquered Formula One and became a global icon who was idolized in his home country. Told solely through the use of archival footage, Asif Kapadia’s documentary is a thrill ride worthy of its daring subject. Adrenalin will be pumping as cameras from inside Senna’s car put you smack-dab in the driver’s seat. Winner of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival’s World Cinema Audience Award: Documentary.Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

Director Asif Kapadia / UK 2010, 1h45m 12A: Contains infrequent strong language and footage of motor racing crashes

JIGSaturday 4 & Sunday 5, Saturday 11 & Sunday 12 June

JIG is the remarkable story of the 40th Irish Dancing World Championships, held in March 2010 in Glasgow. Thousands of dancers, their families and teachers descend upon Glasgow from around the globe for one drama-filled week. Clad in wigs, make up, fake tan, diamantes and dresses worth thousands of pounds, they compete for the coveted world titles. This is the first time a documentary crew has been given access to the little-known world of competitive Irish Dancing and what they discover is a world of dedication, hard work, obsession, passion, success and failure, populated by wonderful characters of all ages.

New Digital Print

Apocalypse NowSunday 12 – Wednesday 15 June

Heralded by many as the film that crystallises most perfectly the experience of the Vietnam War, Francis Ford Coppola’s hallucinatory masterpiece Apocalypse Now has been painstakingly restored for this new digital print. Martin Sheen stars as a battle-wearied Army Captain who is sent on a top secret mission down the river into Cambodia to assassinate rogue Green Beret Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando). As Willard ventures deeper and deeper into the wilderness of the jungle, he embarks on a strange journey that leads him to Kurtz – but also forces him to come face to face with the terrifying heart of darkness in us all. An acid trip into madness, evil and the violence of human nature. Watershed

Director Francis Ford Coppola / Cast Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Dennis HopperUSA 1979, 2h27m, 15

Point Blank À bout portant Friday 10 – Thursday 23 June

The latest film from Anything For Her (Pour elle) director Fred Cavayé is a full throttle thriller that takes a heart-stopping situation and exploits it for every last drop of breathless, white knuckle tension. Gilles Lellouche is Samuel, an auxiliary nurse devoted to his wife Nadia (Elena Anaya) who is expecting their first child. When Nadia is kidnapped, the only chance of seeing her alive again is to help injured gangster Hugo Sartet (Roschdy Zem) to escape from the hospital where Samuel works. An ordinary man is forced to discover extraordinary reserves of cunning and courage when he is given just three hours to save the woman he loves. An edgy, action-packed tale from a new master of suspense. Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

PoticheFrom Friday 17 June

This irresistible crowd-pleaser stars Catherine Deneuve in one of her best roles in years as Suzanne Pujol. In the small town of Sainte-Guenole in 1977, she makes the most of her unvarying life as supportive wife to insufferably chauvinistic husband Robert (Fabrice Luchini). She is a trophy wife, or a potiche. When the workers at their umbrella factory go on strike and Robert is sidelined with ill health, Suzanne reluctantly steps up to take charge. It is a transformation worthy of Cinderella as she suddenly finds her voice and reclaims her life from years of dreary servitude with a little help from town mayor Maurice (Gérard Depardieu) who just happens to be an old flame. There is no limit to what Suzanne might achieve but Robert is not a man likely to welcome change or support a wife he no longer recognises. The gloves are off in a sly, witty, fun-filled excursion into the entrenched attitudes of the 1970s and the glorious rise of a woman who represents the future. Pure, unadulterated joy.Programme notes are available in the cinema and online at www.glasgowfilm.org

A Screaming Man Un homme qui crie Monday 13 – Thursday 16 June

Set in present day Chad, A Screaming Man is the story of Adam, a former swimming champion who works as a pool attendant at a smart hotel. When the premises are taken over by new owners he is forced to give up his job to his son, an act which has a profound effect on Adam, leading to unforeseeable consequences. The relationship between father and son is tenderly explored against a backdrop of violent civil war. This is accomplished filmmaking that depicts a part of the world that rarely reaches cinema screens. A well deserved winner of the Jury Prize at 2010’s Cannes Film Festival.

Viva Riva!Friday 24 – Thursday 30 June

An explosive feature debut from writer-director Djo Tunda Wa Munga, Viva Riva! has put Congolese filmmaking on the map. Winning comparisons with the macho movies of Tony Scott and the knife-edge tension of a classic like The Wages of Fear, Viva Riva! is set in a Kinshasa where life is cheap and petrol is more precious than gold. Riva (Patsha Bay Mukana) is a hustler with his eye on a lucrative stash of gas. His eye is also on the knockout Nora (Manie Malone), mistress of crime boss Azor (Diplome Amekindra). What follows is an unpretentious, briskly-edited frenzy of double-dealing action, sweaty sex and outrageous genre filmmaking. Quentin Tarantino has to take a shine to this.

Life, Above All Monday 20 – Wednesday 22 June

Newcomer Khomotso Manyaka lights up Life, Above All, a moving adaptation of Allan Stratton’s bestselling novel Chanda’s Secrets. A classic coming-of-age story is given added dramatic heft by placing it in a South Africa where so many children have been orphaned by the AIDS pandemic. Twelve-year-old Chanda (Manyaka) lives in the small township of Elandsdoorn near Johannesburg. It is a place where maintaining the appearance of happy normality is more important than acknowledging the reality of a disease that is rife in the country. Chanda’s fearless hunger for the truth makes her a dangerous force in a community comforted by lies and evasions.

Fire in BabylonMonday 27 – Wednesday 29 June

In the glory days of the 1970s and 80s, the West Indies cricket team was the one thing that united fifteen very different Caribbean countries. Stevan Riley’s brilliantly compelling documentary celebrates the players who overcame the brutal racism of their opponents and the patronising disdain of their former colonial masters to establish the West Indies as a formidable force in world sport. It is a remarkable tale of the triumph of the underdog in which the former ‘calypso cricketers’ shattered their easygoing media image and inflicted stunning defeats on Australia and England. Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards and Colin Croft are among the proud survivors recounting this rousing tale of sport as a battleground in the fight for self identity.

Director Stevan Riley UK 2010, 1h26m, 12A: Contains moderate language and discriminatory terms

Kaboom Friday 24 – Thursday 30 June

The latest film from iconoclast Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin, Nowhere) is a hyper-stylised take on Twin Peaks for the Facebook generation, featuring a gorgeous young cast. Bisexual film student Smith (Dekker) spends his time lusting after his hunky surfer roommate until he eats some hallucinogenic cookies and suddenly finds himself embroiled in a cataclysmic murder mystery that could signal the end of the world. Youthful existentialism has never seemed so much fun.

Jazz on a Summer’s DaySaturday 25 June (13.45)

This stunning feature-length documentary captures all the highlights of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Often hailed as one of the first and most influential live concert films, it paved the way for later classics like Monterey Pop and Woodstock. A dazzling array of jazz giants are captured on celluloid, including Thelonious Monk, Louis Armstrong, Anita O’Day and Glasgow Jazz Festival’s 1988 Composer in Residence, Gerry Mulligan. Unquestionable highlight, however, is the extraordinary Mahalia Jackson, whose soulful renditions of ‘Didn’t it Rain’, ‘Shout all Over’ and ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ send a shiver down the spine.

This screening will be introduced by jazz and film journalist Alison Kerr.

Les demoiselles de RochefortMonday 27 June (18.00)

Jacques Demy’s luminous musical about dreams, romance and destiny is a loving homage to Vincente Minnelli and MGM. The film centres on Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac as a pair of twins looking to escape the sleepy environs of Rochefort for life in the big city. When an all-singin’, all-dancin’ motorcycle roadshow rolls into town, the girls decide to give one last big performance before upping sticks and moving on. Be prepared to be swept off your feet by Michel Legrand’s scintillating jazz-pop score, charismatic supporting turns from Gene Kelly, Danielle Darrieux and Michel Piccoli, and – predominantly – Demy’s own infectious joie de vivre. Academy Award-winning composer, conductor and pianist Michel Legrand is appearing at this year’s Glasgow Jazz Festival on Saturday 2 July.

Sunrise by F W Murnau with Olivier Mellano Thursday 23 June (20.45)

As part of ‘La Fête de la Musique’, the Alliance Française de Glasgow and GFT present a movie concert with French guitarist Olivier Mellano. Armed with only a guitar and a multiple effects pedal, Mellano provides a live soundtrack to F W Murnau’s classic expressionist silent film Sunrise, enhancing the cinematographic and poetic force of this masterpiece. Sunrise tells the story of a farmer who, seduced by a temptress from the city, decides to drown his wife during a boating trip. When the young woman escapes, he follows her to the city where he experiences a change of heart. This is guaranteed to be a unique musical and visual experience!

But I’m a CheerleaderSunday 19 June (20.00)

Jamie Babbit’s super-camp debut feature is a hilarious twist on queer coming out stories and features a stellar cast including RuPaul, Mink Stole, Bud Cort and Clea Duvall. The film perfectly skewers gender roles, ex-gay rehab programmes and queer stereotypes, whilst also charting a hot romance. The soundtrack favours the softer side of riot grrrl, featuring Lois, Go Sailor, Tattle Tale and, of course, RuPaul. This cult classic is a must-see for everyone!

This screening will be introduced by a special LUyD guest.

Captive CautivaMonday 20 June (18.00)

During Argentina’s ‘Dirty War’ as many as 30,000 Argentineans disappeared without trace including hundreds of pregnant women whose children were adopted by those loyal to the regime. This film focuses on one of those children, now a typical teenager living in Buenos Aires. When informed of her true identity, Cristina’s life is thrown into turmoil as she discovers the horrors of Argentina’s recent past.

This screening will be introduced by Latin American cinema expert Professor Mike Gonzales, University of Glasgow.

Last ResortTuesday 21 June (18.30)

A naive young Russian woman, Tanya, and her streetwise son are detained at a London airport when her elusive English fiancé fails to collect them. In a panicked effort to avoid deportation, Tanya asks for political asylum and she and her son are immediately transported to the dreary seaside resort of Stonehaven. In a state of virtual imprisonment, Tanya befriends the manager of an amusement arcade whose affection and generosity buoys her spirits and helps ease her despondency. This Bafta-winning feature from renowned documentary filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski is beautifully acted and photographed, its semi-improvised script imbued with humanity.

Half MoonWednesday 22 June (18.15)

Half Moon is an exuberant and unconventional road movie that tells of Mamo, an elderly Iranian Kurd and renowned musician, who is determined to travel to Iraqi Kurdistan where he will be allowed to play freely for the first time in thirty-five years, since the fall of Saddam Hussein. He gathers his ten sons, who double as his backing band, loads them onto a ramshackle bus along with his favourite chicken, and sets off on a long and dangerous journey fraught with complications. This magic realist film combines rich symbolism, a strong musical pulse and anarchic humour in a tribute to the indomitability of the human spirit.

This screening will be introduced by the author of Cinematic Journeys (2010), Dr Dimitris Eleftheriotis, University of Glasgow.

Pushing the ElephantThursday 23 June (18.00)

An intimate documentary set against the backdrop of the 1998 conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Pushing the Elephant tells the story of Rose Mapendo, who was separated during the conflict from her five-year-old daughter, Nangabire. Rose survived the atrocities of those years and was eventually resettled in Phoenix, Arizona, with her other children. Now, after twelve years apart, Rose and her daughter Nangabire are reunited in the US. Through the story of their reunion, we come to understand the excruciating decisions Rose made in order to survive and the complex difficulties Nangabire faces as a refugee in the US – torn between her painful past and a hopeful future.

This screening will be followed by a panel discussion with local filmmakers and festival organisers on activist documentaries and human rights film festivals.

Human Rights Activism and Filmmaking Sunday 26 June (15.00)

Robert Vas’s Refuge England records the experiences of a Hungarian refugee arriving in 1950s London with no English, little money and with his only prospect of help an incomplete address written on a postcard. Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Mobile Men is a portrait of Jaii, a migrant worker from Burma, in a rare moment of escape from the realities of everyday life. These contrasting films will be followed by selected shorts from local filmmakers – Camcorder Guerillas, Digital Desperados, Diversity and Media Co-op – working with asylum seekers.

Mother Fish Friday 24 June (18.15)

This is the remarkable story of four Vietnamese refugees fleeing to Australia in 1980, a time when some 1.5 million people made the hazardous journey across the sea after the Vietnam War. Set almost entirely in a clothes factory, an incidental event triggers one woman’s memories and causes her to relive the extraordinary journey she and her sister undertook in a creaky river boat, in search of a better life. A film of astonishing beauty, deeply unsettling terror and profound emotion.

This screening will be introduced by Gary Christie of the Scottish Refugee Council.

Father’s Day

The Great Escape Sunday 19 June (16.30)

John Sturges’s dramatisation of the true story of a group of British, American and Canadian POWs who executed a massive escape from Stalag Luft III in Upper Silesia in 1944, is arguably the best Second World War adventure film ever made. The German high command has filtered out all the most talented escape artists of the Allies’ and placed them in a POW camp specifically designed to foil any unwanted departures. Of course, as soon as they arrive, the prisoners begin work on a series of tunnels under the direction of Roger ‘Big X’ Bartlett (Richard Attenborough). His motley squad includes Charles Bronson as a Polish trench-digging expert, James Garner as an American with a talent for theft, Donald Pleasence as a masterful forger and Steve McQueen as an American rebel. Featuring a rousing Elmer Bernstein score and exciting action sequences – including the notorious motorcycle chase between McQueen and the Nazis – this is the perfect Father’s Day treat.

Robinson in RuinsMonday 6 June (18.15)

Patrick Keiller’s latest sees his shadowy, somewhat eccentric titular researcher embark on another tour of ‘sites of scientific and historical interest’ in and around Oxford. A decade after his earlier trips around London and England, film cans and writings are discovered suggesting that Robinson resumed his investigations upon release from prison. Keen to cure the world of ‘a great malady’ (symptoms include the banking crisis, global warming, war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the transfer of British land to obscure owners), Robinson sought – or so we’re told by an ex-lover (Vanessa Redgrave) – to communicate with ‘non-human intelligences’ determined to preserve life on Earth... Keiller’s witty, revealing script weaves together philosophy, the arts, history, politics, economics, science, agriculture, architecture and much else, even as surreal, mysterious and beautiful images, imbued with a deep love of the natural world, remind us of what’s at risk. Timely indeed. Geoff Andrew

This screening will be introduced by Aimee Mollaghan, the course leader of Space is the Place: Landscape in Artists’ Films (see page 25 for full details).

Beetle Queen Conquers TokyoTuesday 7 June (18.00)

It may sound like a cult B-movie from the glory days of Godzilla but Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo (GFF10) is actually a lyrical, spellbinding documentary on Japan’s fascination with insects. All children have a ghoulish attraction to creepy crawlies but in Japan it seems like a national pastime. Director Jessica Oreck is a New York-based filmmaker and her first feature has all the curiosity and wonder of a true enthusiast. She encourages experts and authors to trace the cultural history of Japan’s love affair with insects and captures enthralling footage of the children, collectors and sellers who have taken the bugs to their hearts.

GFT is delighted that director Jessica Oreck will introduce the screening and participate in a Q&A afterwards.

Donor Unknown is a documentary feature film following the story of JoEllen Marsh, twenty, as she goes in search of the sperm donor father she knows only as Donor 150. What she discovers is moving, provocative and surprising. A uniquely 21st century story, Donor Unknown raises intriguing questions about identity, parenting, family – and the strange power of our genetic connections.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers and specialists from the fields of reproductive medicine, fertility and medical ethics.

The Green WaveSaturday 25 June (20.15)

Fresh from Sundance, The Green Wave is one of the hottest and most timely feature docs of the year. When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared victor of Iran’s 2009 elections under suspicious circumstances, a movement ignited whose flame and testimony to oppression has since spread right across the country. Combining animation, live-action, tweets and testimonial from the ground, this innovative and urgent film is a remarkable portrait of modern political rebellion, an exposé of government-sanctioned violence, and a vision of peace and hope that may yet galvanize a new Iran.

GFT is delighted that director Ali Samadi Ahadi will introduce the screening and participate in a Q&A afterwards.

A freedom fighter known as V uses terrorist tactics to fight the oppressive society and in the process rescues a young woman from the secret police. Together they become unlikely allies in the fight against the state.

HeathersFriday 24 June (23.00)

Winona Ryder is perfect as Veronica, the jaded student who no longer wants to be friends with the ‘Heathers’, three mega-bitches who rule the high school hallways. When she hooks up with handsome rebel JD (Slater), little does Veronica realise that his psychotic behaviour will have deadly consequences. The blackest of black comedies, Heathers is a scathing and hilarious subversion of all those countless teen movie clichés.

Clueless Friday 10 June (23.00)

A loveable adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma, this clever teen flick took audiences by complete surprise back in 1995 for being extremely quotable and funny. Alicia Silverstone plays Cher, a rich valley girl who dedicates her extra-curricular activities to match-making at her Beverly Hills high school. When she transforms Tai, a ‘clueless’ transfer student, into a beautiful Betty, Cher soon discovers that she’s turned her prodigy into a socially ambitious monster. Will Tai’s driving licence and sexual experiences ruin the virginal Cher’s chances at finding the Baldwin of her dreams? If you love Mean Girls, you’ll adore Clueless.

GFT are delighted to announce that we’ll be beaming in opera from Glyndebourne via satellite this summer. Book now for:

Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg Sunday 26 June (15.00, 6h, live)

A festive hymn to the transformative power of young love, Wagner’s warm-hearted Midsummer’s Day comedy is the natural follow‐up to Glyndebourne’s historic first foray into Wagnerian territory with Tristan und Isolde in 2003. For not only is Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg a glorious celebration of art and the shared joy of song – with a major role for the world‐famous Glyndebourne Chorus – but its tale of a young knight who wins the hand of a goldsmith’s daughter with the help of the canny cobbler‐poet Hans Sachs was deliberately designed as a life‐affirming counterpoint to the death‐entangled love triangle at the heart of Tristan und Isolde.

Given its sheer scale alone, any production of Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg is always a major event. Directed by David McVicar, fresh from completing his first Ring cycle, and conducted by the Festival’s Music Director, Vladimir Jurowski.

Tickets: Full Price £25 / Concessions £21.50 / CineCards £19.50

Don Giovanni Sunday 31 July (18.00, 3h30m, pre-recorded)

Set at a time of seismic social and cultural change – in a Fellini‐esque vision of post‐war life – Jonathan Kent’s urgently propulsive production offers a ‘white‐knuckle rollercoaster ride’ through the events of Don Giovanni’s last day.

Tickets: Full Price £15 / Concessions £13 / CineCards £12

The Turn of the Screw Sunday 21 August (18.00, 2h30m, live)

Britten’s brilliantly scored, insidiously compelling adaptation of Henry James’s novella takes its themes of childish innocence and adult corruption, then twists and turns them to disturbing and devastating effect.
