OF TIME AND THE CITY (M) 74min
ppp
Terence Davies, one of Britain’s most respected filmmakers, presents his latest documentary on his city of Liverpool, using mainly archival footage and his own memories, observations and opinions. He reveals much about his image of Liverpool, but also of himself. Combining aural and archive clips, music and poetry, it charts the rebirth of Liverpool, right up to the present day. Dir Terence Davies, UK. •July 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8
DEFIANCE (M) 136min

picThe year is 1941 and the Jews of Eastern Europe live in fear. Managing to escape, three brothers take refuge in the dense surrounding woods they have known since childhood. There they begin their desperate battle against the Nazis. The brothers turn a primitive struggle to survive into something far more consequential — a way to avenge the deaths of their loved ones by saving thousands of others. Based on an extraordinary true story. Dir Edward Zwick, Lithuania. English language. July 2, 4, 8

MONSTERS VS ALIENS (PG) 94min
$29 FAMILY TIX: 2 ADULTS & 2 KIDS OR 1 ADULT & 3 KIDS 

pHoliday fun at the Star! When a meteorite from outer space hits a young girl and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters. This laugh out loud animation finds its inspiration in classic monster movies, alien conspiracies and invasion thrillers, both past and present. Dirs Conrad Vernon, Bob Letterman, USA.
•July 1, 2, 3, 4.

ELEGY (M) 113min
pGG
Charismatic professor David Kepesh is an intellectual celebrity who has never been able to commit to a relationship. When the attractive Consuela Castillo enters his classroom, he starts to question the emotional barriers he has constructed, and falls for her intensely. Kepesh’s need for Consuela becomes an obsession, and his fantasies of betrayal start to drive her away. This is a tale of aging, beauty, love and loss. Starring Penelope Cruz. Dir Isabel Coixet, USA. July 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22
GOMORRAH (MA) 137min
pic Power, money and blood: these are the ‘values’ that the residents of Naples confront every day. Set in the grungiest areas of this Italian city, five stories are closely interwoven. Those within the Camorra, possibly the oldest crime organisation in Italy, think they can do their own thing. Based on Robert Saviano’s non-fiction bestseller, and winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes. Dir Matteo Garrone, Italy. English subtitles. July 9, 10, 11, 13, 17
STATE OF PLAY (M) 117min

p11
Set amidst the highest echelons of power. Cal McCaffrey is a street-wise reporter whose friendship with a powerful politician is tested when the politician’s young advisor is killed by falling in front of a train. When McCaffrey discovers that the two were involved in an adulterous affair and that she might have in fact been murdered, a complex web of intrigue begins to unfold. Starring Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman, Robin Wright Penn and Helen Mirren. Dir Kevin Macdonald, USA. July 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20

WHAT JUST HAPPENED (M) 104min
p A winningly sharp comedy about two roller-coaster weeks in the world of a middle-aged Hollywood producer as he tries to juggle his personal life with an outrageous series of crises in his day job. Robert De Niro heads an all-star cast in this rollicking, shrewd tale of a man besieged by people who want him to be all things — a money maker, an ego buster, a bad news breaker, an artistic champion, a loyal husband and an all-knowing father. Dir Barry Levinson, USA. July 16, 18, 19, 22, 24
SHALL WE KISS? (PG) 96min
p A chance meeting, a mutual attraction, entertaining conversation and perhaps a kiss? When Gabriel and Emilie meet, both know that feelings are building between them; the politeness of their encounter is overshadowed by the kiss that seems to be waiting at the end of the evening. This is the story of long-time best friends and confidantes who decide to cross into intimacy, with unintended consequences. A French romantic comedy that serves as a cautionary tale. Dir Emmanuel Mouret, France. English subtitles. July 14, 16, 18, 24, 26
IS ANYBODY THERE? (M) 95min
pic Set in 1980s seaside England, this is the story of Edward, an unusual ten-year-old boy growing up in an old people’s home run by his parents. Whilst his mother struggles to keep the family business afloat, and his father copes with the onset of mid-life crisis, Edward is busy tape-recording the elderly residents to try and discover what happens when they die. Increasingly obsessed with ghosts and the afterlife, Edward has a rather lonely existence until he meets Clarence, the latest recruit to the home, a retired magician with a liberating streak of anarchy. Starring Michael Caine and Bill Milner. Dir John Crowley, UK. July 18, 20, 25, 27, 29
FOUR OF A KIND (M) 115min

p This independent Australian drama/ mystery/thriller presents us with a fascinating tale. While interviewing a surgeon’s wife for a murder investigation, Detective Inspector Gina Sturrock remembers a long-forgotten crime, revealed later to her psychiatrist. But the psychiatrist has problems of her own. Her new lover, a much younger man, might be having an affair. Four women — each with a well-hidden secret that, if revealed, could irreparably slash the fabric of their lives. Dir Fiona Cochrane, Australia. July 23, 25, August 1, 2, 5

NOODLE (PG) 97min
p At 37, Miri is a twice-widowed flight attendant. Her well-regulated existence is suddenly turned upside down by an abandoned Chinese boy whose migrant-worker mother has been summarily deported from Israel. This film is a touching comedy/drama in which two human beings — as different from each other as Tel Aviv is from Beijing — accompany each other on a remarkable journey, one that takes them both back to a meaningful life. Dir Ayelet Menahemi, Israel. English subtitles. July 23, 25, 26, August 2, 5
QUIET CHAOS (MA) 112min
p One momentous summer’s day, Pietro’s life is changed forever; he saves a woman and loses his wife. Soon after this day, he drops his young daughter at school and spontaneously tells her he will wait outside until she returns. And so he does, surprisingly to all, day after day. His friends, family and colleagues come to visit him in the park, only to have their own dramas melt away in the face of his invincible calm. With an unexpected cameo by Roman Polanski, this film provides insight about the experiences that cause us to change direction in life. Dir Antonio Luigi Grimaldi, Italy. English subtitles. July 24, 26, 27, August 1, 2
DISGRACE (M) 119min
p
David (John Malkovich) is dissatisfied with his job as an English professor in post-apartheid South Africa. When he seduces one of his students he is dismissed from his teaching position, and takes refuge on his daughter’s farm. For a time, his daughter’s influence and the natural rhythms of the farm promise to harmonise his discordant life. But in the aftermath of a vicious attack on the farm, he is forced to come to terms with more than his disgrace alone. Both compelling and discomfiting, this film deals with broader themes of justice and reconciliation. Dir Steve Jacobs, South Africa. July 30, 31, August 3
SUNSHINE CLEANING (M) 91min
p In this comedy/drama, Rose Lorkowski finds herself dissatisfied with being a 30-something single mother working as a maid. Her sister Norah is still living at home with their dad Joe, a salesman with a lifelong history of ill-fated get-rich-quick schemes. To turn things around, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business with her to make some quick cash. In no time, the girls are up to their elbows in murders, suicides and other... specialised situations. An excellent small independent film. Dir Christine Jeffs, USA. July 30, 31, August 1, 3
