Desperately moralising but otherwise fairly amiable American teen fare. Edinburgh: Odeon I Carmen (PG) (Peter Brook. Frx'UK. 1983) Helene Delavault. 85 mins. Based on Brook‘s own highly acclaimed Paris Opera production. this is a pared down version of Bizet shot in claustrophobic settings to an intimate effect that subverts the usual expansive cinematic approach to the medium.

Not entirely unexpected sequel has Hogan's Dundee retracing his steps from Manhattan to the Aussie hush to protect his girlfriend journalist Kozlowski from the unwanted attentions of a gangof Colombian drug peddlars.
A lame script and l logan's catatonic underplaying mar this antipodean comedy-adventure to the extent that what will undoubtedly be one of the year's most profitable releases unfortunately also has to go down as one of the most tedious.

Edinburgh: l-‘ilmhouse I Days Of Heaven ( PG) ('l‘erencc Malick.
US. 1978) Richard Gere. Sam Shepard. Brooke Adams. 94 mins. Malick is one of the great wayward talents ofthe contemporary American cinema (Badlands is his only other feature) and this is an exquisite triangular love story set against the wheat farming Midwest at the turn of the century.

Glasgow: GFT
I Deadly Pursuit ( 15)( Roger Spotiswoode.
115.1987) Sidney Poitier. Tom Berenger. Kirstic Alley. 110 mins. A welcome return to the screen after a lengthy absence for Sidney Poitier in this just above average thriller. He plays a sterling FBI manon the trail of a dangerous homicidal criminal across treacherous mountain terrain. and who is forced to enlist the help ofsurly guide Berenger whose girlfriend the baddie just happens to have kidnapped. Top drawer cast and technical credits provide the watchable performances and excellent use of breathtaking locations that take one’s mind off the rather contrived narrative and gaps in credibility in this superior piece of formula fodder. And Sidney does put himselfabout a bit for a man in his Sixties. Glasgow: Cannon Sauchihall Street. I Diva (15)(Jean-Jacqucs Beineix. France. 1981) Frederic Andrei. Roland Bertin. Richard Bohringer. 117 mins. The twisted fate of two tapes. one an illegal recording of an American opera star. the other exposing a crime ring. is the central

Mussolini is established asa German puppet and Sordi's second-lieutenant is bewilderirrgly caught in the middle wondering exactly what his patriotic duty might be especially as he favours laying down arms and heading for home.

I Flesh And Blood ( l8) (Paul Verhoeven. Netherlands US. 1985) Rutger l latter. JenniferJason Leigh. 126 mins. Vcrhocven's first linglish language picture before the success of Rohomp is a lusty medieval epic that more than livesup to its title.

I Full Metal Jacket ( 18) (Stanley Kubrick. UK. 1987) Matthew Modirrc. Dorian Harewood. l.ce Iirmey. 109 mins.
