I Man at the Year Brazilian cinema is so hot at the moment after the success of City of God. this tale of a nice young man's transformation into a contract killer might just do as good business. Cameo 7 , Fri 22 Aug, 8pm and Sat 23 Aug 5.30.
I The Terminal Man: The Director’s Cut Fresh from editing Cremaster 2, filmmaker Mike Hodges has re-edited his own 1974 sci-fi curio with extraordinary results. His edit makes you realise just how much the studios back then interfered with his vision. Cameo 7, Fri 22 Aug, 71pm and Sat 23 Aug 3pm.
