If you only watch one silent film this year, make it Fritz Lang's compelling 1928 spy thriller, re-released here in dual format edition as part of Eureka!'s Masters Of Cinema series. Willy Fritsch plays a spy known only as 326, Gerda Maurus is the femme fatale playing both sides and Rudolf Klein-Rogge is her boss, master-of-disguise super-criminal Haghi. If you've ever wondered where the look and character of the Master in Dr Who came from, Haghi is it. As you'd expect from a German film of the era, the cinematography is stunning too.

Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou star in Michel Gondry's quirky love story, set in an alternative Paris. Winner of a 2013 Cesar, the French version of the Oscars, it's based on a 1947 novel and this is the third big-screen adaptation. There's been an opera too.

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
