The Tigger Movie (U) but (Jun Falkenstein, US, 2000) 77 mins. ldentical in many ways to 1977’s The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, this new yarn based on A.A. Milne's characters finds Pooh, Piglet, Tigger et al still living a charmed life of tea parties and afternoon naps. Only this time, the wee stripy fella's decided being one of a kind isn’t quite as cool as he‘d first thought and so a literal quest for the Tigger Family Tree ensues. A happy ending eventually makes its presence felt, because even Tigger is smart enough to recognise that with friends like Pooh, Piglet, R00 and Eeyore, who needs family? General release.
Time Regained (Le Temps Retrouve) (18) ***** (Raul Ruiz, France/Italy, 1999) Marcello Mazzarella, Catherine Deneuve, Emmanuelle Béart. 162 mins. Marcel (Mazzarella) lies in bed thinking about his life, and reflects back less on his own actions than of those in the wealthy late 19th/early 20th century salon culture in which he moved. Ruiz’s adaptation of Proust's final volume of Remembrance Of Things Past captures brilliantly the tenuousness and subjectivity of memory — aided and abetted by his trademark lateral tracking shots, technical correlatives to Proust’s thinking. East Kilbride: Arts Centre. Stirling: MacRobert.
Topsy-Turvy (12) that (Mike Leigh, UK, 2000) Jim Broadbent, Allan Corduner, Martin Savage. 159 mins. At the film's core is the turbulent creative partnership between Victorian opera writer Gilbert (Broadbent) and playboy genius composer Sullivan (Corduner). But preparations for their greatest show, The Mikado, involve a whole cast who give flawless performances. This might be Leigh‘s first period drama, but it’s another excellent ensemble piece engaging with his usual preoccupation: people at work, rest and play. Edinburgh: Dominion, Filmhouse. Kirkcaldy: Adam Smith. Stirling: MacRobert.
Tora-San's Forbidden Love (PG) *~k* (Yoji Yamada, Japan, 1984) A comic look at the life of a travelling man which sees him befriend a stockbroker and his beautiful wife. The 34th of the popular 48 Tora-san series which spans a 30-year period. Edinburgh: Filmhouse.
Toy Story 2 (U) ***** (John Lasseter, US, 2000) Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack. 95 mins. The new film expands on the original settings and themes: When Woody is not taken to Cowboy Camp by his owner Andy, he begins to question the meaning of his ‘life’. When he's subsequently stolen by a collector - who plans to sell him to a Japanese toy museum — Buzz and the gang travel across town to rescue their pal. The emotive range of the animated characters is extraordinary; they say that computer generated images will never replace the real thing, but Toy Story 2 makes you wonder. General release.
The Winslow Boy (U) **** (David Mamet, US, 1999) Nigel Hawthorne, Rebecca Pidgeon, Jeremy Northam. 110 mins. It has surprised many that David Mamet should adapt Terence Rattigan’s very British period drama, based on an event which caught the public’s imagination in 1912. The boy in question is expelled from naval academy for allegedly stealing a postal order, much to the consternation of his upper middle class family. At father's insistence, the Winslow’s spare no expense to clear the boy's name. The cast are roundly superb, evincing as much control as their director. Although the proceedings seem a little cold, that’s Mamet's way. What astonishes is the sheer style and skill on display. Glasgow: Grosvenor.
Wonderland (15) artists: (Michael Winterbottom, UK, 1999) Gina McKee, Shirley Henderson, Molly Parker. 108 mins. At once both extraordinarily beautiful and desperately sad, this portrait of life in contemporary London is seen through the eyes of three sisters and their dysfunctional family. Wonderland is unrelentingly grim for the most part, yet the performances are so good that you can't help but be moved to tears. And Wintcrbottom utilises every trick in the Great Filmmaker's Manual to create a visual treat worthy of its title. Edinburgh: Lumiere.
