Va Savoir (PG) .0” (Jacques Rivette. France. 2001) Jeanne Balibar. Sergio Castellitto. Jacques Bonnaffe. 154 min. A graceful and charming comedy of manners from veteran French New Wave director Rivette.

0 Waking Lite (15 ) «no (Richard Linklater. US. 2002) Wiley Wigins. Ethan Hawke. Julie Delpy. 100 min. This animated picture looks stunning. Linklater has used a ‘rotoscoping' technique which involves film- ing actors and then tracing over the images to make the movie look like a cinematic graphic novel. The animation is pivotal to the ques- tion posed by the central character. Mitch Kramer: what exactly is life'.’ Kramer cannot wake from a recurring dream in which he meets characters ranging from philosophy professors to "'11 drivers who tell him exactly what life is about. Wonderfully innovative. UGC Renfrew Street. Glasgow; Cameo. Edinburgh.

But the lord visits a terrible revenge on his family. Rather than rebuckling his sword and further tainting his already compromised moral standing. Lafcadia flees into the mountains. The Warrior's simplicity makes it seem like an archetypal yarn. but it has a personality that fielies its lack of dialogue. And. in an age ‘oftt'ongue-in-cheek jaunts. it's refreshingly uncompromising in its seriousness and beauty. Selected release.
