In Bloom (15)
In Bloom (15)
Set in Tbilisi in 1992 during the Georgian civil war, this film by directing team Nana Ekvtimishvili and Simon Gross was garlanded at last year's Berlin Film Festival and tells the story of two 14-year-old girls, Natia and Eka. Their friendship remains tight through political upheaval and familiar breakdown, but eventually the violence which surrounds them begins to have a dramatic effect. Out tomorrow.
The Hooligan Factory (15)
You know a film genre has become established in the canon when (a) it's given the zombie treatment and (b) it's given the spoof treatment. That time has come for the football hooligan movie. Last week saw the release of Goal Of The Dead and this week it's Nick Nevern's parody of films like Green Street, The Firm and The Football Factory. There isn't actually much football in it, but it's pleasingly silly. Out tomorrow.
Under The Skin (15)
Scarlett Johansson plays a man-eating alien on the loose in Scotland in Jonathan Glazer's iconoclastic adaptation of Michel Faber's novel of the same name.
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
