Heart has Cummins and Dall drawn together by their loveof shootingand turning to a little bank robbery when the going gets tough. A subversive erotic charge drawn from the gunplay and innovative moments like the legendary one-take heist scene mark this down as a bona fide cult classic. Lewis directs as ifhis life depended on it. See this one. Edinburgh: Filmhouse.
I Hannah and Her Sisters( 15 ) (Woody Allen. US. 1986) Mia Farrow. Michael Caine. Barbara Hershey. 107 mins. An achineg funny. insightful and well cast celebration of some surprisingly upbeat romantic perambulations within a family Circle as only Woody knows how. Edinburgh: Filmhouse.
I Internal Affairs ( 18) (Mike Figgis. 155. 1990) Richard (iere. Andy (iarcia. Nancy Travis. 1115 mitts. In the wake of hisstylish homegrown debut Stormy Monday. British director Mike Figgis makes his Hollywood debut with this stylish thriller. Garcia is a quietly efficient cop working for the Internal Affairs Dept. ofthe LA police. who comes across damning evidence that respected street cop Gcre is in fact up to his neck in corrupt activities. and before long the two are at loggerheads in a clash that is to get increasingly personal. Predictable but very flashy Cop fare with remarkably intense performances from the twocentral protagonists. Edinburgh: Filmhouse.
I The Krays(18) (Peter Medak. UK. 1990) Billie Whitelaw. (iary Kemp. Martin Kemp. 119 mins. The long planned biopic of the terrible twins: Ronnie and Reggie. comes crashing onto the screen. Director Medak opts to imbue their lives with the mythic qualities of a fairy tale and thereby ignores most of the grisly details oftheir reign of fear. Whether or not you believe that their sordid tale deserves such treatment. the Spandau siblings do turn in a passable impersonation. despite their love of gazing moodin at the camera. Edinburgh: Filmhouse.

Crass. Iowbrow and thus extremely popular comedy whose sole redeeming feature is the natural charm of the trusty Travolta. But any movie whose idea of a comic setpiece means filmimg a foetus inside the womb with the dreary Willis intoningon the soundtrack just doesn't come nearthe ball park. Edinburgh: UCI.
I Max Mon Amour ( 18) (Nagisa ()shima. France. 1986) Charlotte Rampling. Anthony Higgins. Diana Quick. 94 mins. Brit diplomat Higgins discovers that wife Rampling has a lover in the unlikely shape of chimpanzee Max. but instead ofbeing totally grossed out insists that the primate move in with them. As scripted by former Bunuel scenarist Jean-Claude Carriere
this reads like one of the sardonic Spaniard's exercises in bourgeoisie-baiting. but ()shima is clearly ill at ease with the surroundings and the material. Not good. Edinburgh: Filmhouse.

Conversely. she rediscovers her self-esteem by flawlessly carryingoff the role ofhis high society companion. so the audience can feel happy for both of them.
