Nymphomaniac Volume I & II (18)
Nymphomaniac Volume I & II (18)
Lars von Trier's two-part film, the third of his so-called "Depression Trilogy" is indulgent, pompous, silly, controversial - there's explicit sex aplenty - and audience-baiting enough to reassure everyone that the Danish director hasn't lost his edge. Stacy Martin and Charlotte Gainsbourg are younger and older versions of central character Joe (the nymphomaniac of the title whose story is told in flashback); the extensive cast list includes Willem Dafoe, Shia LaBeouf, Uma Thurman and Jamie Bell.
That Sinking Feeling (12)
Bill Forsyth's feature debut stars Robert Buchanan as a feckless Glasgow teenager who hatches plan to steal a batch of stainless steel sinks from a warehouse. Extras include two short films in which Forsyth stars.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
