after a brief interval , actor - director pandiarajan makes his comeback with kai vandha kalai . supposedly a sequel to his yesteryear hit aan pavam , pandiarajan has thrown out a simple and a straight forward film without many twists and turns that ' s worth a watch . amidst all action - packed films of the day , kai vandhai kalai is a movie with a simple narration and little characters .

the story centers on a careless father ( manivannan ) and his son kannan ( prithvi ) . manivannan earns his livelihood cheating the villagers and takes the help of his son in all his wrong deeds .

kannan falls in love with the a school - girl kausalya ( sruthi ) - daughter of pandian and seetha , the lead pair of aan paavam . kannan is made to realize the importance of leading a honest life by kausalya .

determined to keep up his promise to her , kannan leaves for chennai and stays with his uncle pandiarajan , who is an undertaker . he gives coffins on hire . the rest is about how kannan with the help of his uncle reforms his father and also convinces kausalya ' s parents and win their hearts .

as usual pandiarajan evokes laughter with his witty dialogues . prithvi , panidarajan ' s son , making his debut , does a convincing job and has his father ' s mannerisms .

. like his mentor , pandiarajan takes on directing duties and also plays a key character that appears in the second half to move things along . unfortunately , the similarity ends there and has not extended to how entertaining the movie is . while

kannan ( prithvi ) is in leage with his father ( manivannan ) in duping the people in his village . he comes across kausalya ( sruthi ) , a timid , schoolgoing brahmin girl and falls for her immediately . from his grandfather he learns that kausalya ' s mom is his father ' s sister and becomes even more determined to wed her . kausalya begins to like him too but asks him to mend his ways before they can get married .

, this is a failed comedy and that ' s the toughest kind of movie to sit through .

movies typically tend to meander in the first half as they introduce characters and create issues . so its not terribly disappointing when

lays the foundation for a passable love story in the first half . it gets prithvi and sruthi together and through their family members , shows that its not going to be smooth sailing for their romance . it doesn ' t do much more than that but that ' s all that is expected .

for most movies , their screenplay gathers speed in the second half as they try to resolve those conflicts . not so in the case of

, which simply stalls . pandiarajan has no idea how to move the story along and so abandons it completely . once prithvi becomes pandiarajan ' s assistant under the pretext of making an honest living , the movie turns into a series of episodes ( that have no impact whatsoever on the story ) revolving around their business . the running time is further padded with fights and an item number , that are all set up in a silly manner and simply confirm the paucity of ideas on pandiarajan ' s part . its only in the last five minutes or so that the movie remembers that it has a love story to resolve and naturally , the result is a lacklustre climax .

was probably pandiarajan ' s biggest hit in his career and is the film with which people still identify him . so he has naturally tried to milk as much as he can from that film by using actors , locations and background music from that film . there is a lot of nostalgia associated with the film , one of the best comedies in tamil cinema , and so it is fun seeing the references to it . but unfortunately , pandiarajan has not played it straight . he uses actors like pandian , seetha and revathi in roles meant to remind us of

but doesn ' t go all the way . so while he was pandian ' s younger brother in that film , he is seetha ' s younger brother in this . this leads to a little confusion and also a nagging feeling that he was too lazy to think a little more and come up with a story that could actually serve as a sequel to

prithvi looks too young to be a hero . but apart from that , he seems to have been prepped well enough since he fights and dances impressively . sruthi , the child artiste from azhagi , is definitely too young to be a heroine . they have tried to make her look older through makeup and the results are not very flattering . pandiarajan gamely tries to make his jokes work while seetha ends up looking the most natural of the performers . a number of comedians like senthil , janakaraj and ' venniraadai ' moorthy have cameos .

a raga that is auspicious in name and bhava is sri . sri is a ghana raga , a heavy and noteworthy one that is melodic as well as regal . sri is a janya of kharaharapriya raga and is characterised by jagged traversals in the scale , the avarohana having interesting diversions from the usual linear path . the arohana - avarohana pattern of this raga is srmpns / snpdnpmrgrs . in tyagaraja’s works in this raga , the dhaivata prayoga ( “pdnpm” ) is not used , while in dikshitar’s kritis , there is a sudden twist in the structure , with the prayoga featuring the dhaivata . this raga houses sadja , chatusruti rishabha , suddha madhyama , pancama , kaisiki nishada , chatusruti dhaivata and sadharana gandhara .

the raga’s highlight is the exaggerated gamaka at the gandhara . because it is a ghana raga , it is suitable for tanam . askilled vainika ( veenaartiste ) can demonstrate the stately gait of the tanam in sri .

the classical pieces in sri include tyagaraja’s fervour - filled ‘endaro mahanubhavulu’ , the fifth and famed pancharatna , which features torrential janta swaras and ‘namakusumamula’ .

dikshitar’s ‘sri kamalambike’ ( the concluding kamalamba navavarana ) , ‘sri varalakshmi’ ( sung during the varalakshmi vratha ) and ‘sri abhayamba’ ( the final kriti of the abhayamba vibhakti kritis on the presiding goddess at mayavaram ) are most notable . music lovers may recall m . s . subbulakshmi’s rendition of annamacharya’s ‘vande vasudevam’ in the raga .

the kriti ‘endaro’ featured in the telugu film , thyagayya . the same pancharatna found place in shankarabharanam , where it was sung by s . p . balasubrahmanyam .

in film music , one of the finest pieces in this raga would be ‘deviyar iruvar’ from kalaikovil , composed by m . s . viswanathan and t . k . ramamurthy . chittibabu’s veena prelude is electrifying and p . suseela’s alapana is apt . the lines‘enadi thozhi arivayo , enakkor idam nee tharuvayo’ well establish the raga bhava , with the phrase rpmprg , rss lending the requisite charm .

in kodi parakkudhu , the song ‘selai kattum pennukkoru’ is a clever attempt by music director hamsalekha to showcase the nuances of sri raga . in the lines ‘kandadhunda . . . sonnadhunda ’ the prayoga rgrs , srsn , rgrs is amply evident .

a . r . rahman has composed a sedate piece , ‘theendai mei theendai’ for en swasa kaatre . the opening phrase is punctuated with a fitting gamaka at the gandhara . the pallavi’s concluding line , ‘didukkittadhey’ , the phrase prsn / pdnpmrg , says it all . this song shows how well rahman has gleaned the raga’s salient features and presented it as an entertaining number .

vaidehi is lower middle class young girl who is married to business tycoon aryan jaisingh , she thinks its all bed of roses till she discovers she is caught in a mess , her husband is already married once , has a daughter and confesses to her that he is impotent .

the plot gets murkier when he says he married her only due to social pressure and she cannot leave his home and live there till she dies , in this mess . aryan’s brother yash also keeps a “dumb” wife at home and cheats girls outside his home . their father played by kiran kumar is in the center of all this mess dominating everybody from his frustrated wife played by aruna irani to showing fake death of one of his daughter - in - laws . outside in society , they are a rich family showing’everything is fine” . what remains to be seen is what action or take vaidehi takes now . .

amidst so many imaginary stupid serials , vaidehi is a real life serial , there are hundreds and hundreds of homes everywhere in india where young girls are married off to so called ’bed of roses” and when they discover what a mess in which they have landed , its too late , there are few fortunate ones whose families support them and take them away safely , but there are endless cases everyday aired on national tv showing either suicides or murders .

aruna irani , director and producer of this serial , has been known for her own beauty and acting in her heydays ( incidentally she was the first heroine paired opposite mr . amitabh bachchan in bombay to goa ) , she is now known for making different serials in some way , she always takes up a different protagonist everytime to reflect different problems in society . as usual , she has taken up a new subject and very relevant . she must be congratulated for this .

sachin sharma , lead male protagonist of this serial , playing aryan jaisingh gives intense performances . he was earlier a newsreader in zee tv , but quit to try his hand at acting . its good because he was wasting his talent in newsreading .

sets and dress designing of this serial are just great , but its the subject that appeals very much .

25 - year - old , sumi , belonging to an underprivileged family , who gives tuitions to eke out a living , wants to raise money for her widowed sister’s six - year - old daughter’s heart surgery . finding no other way , out of sheer desperation , she responds to an advertisement in a paper where an affluent lawyer is looking for a surrogate mother .

not much is still known about surrogacy and neither sumi nor the lawyer are initially aware that a surrogate mother must be married and have at least one child .

nevertheless , the protagonist becomes the surrogate mother . she receives rs 5 lakhs but she pays a heavy price for it . her boyfriend severs ties , society rejects her and her tuitions are discontinued . once the baby is born and she has to hand him over to the lawyer and his wife , she feels the heart - wrenching pain of separation .

dr rajesh das , who is bhaswati’s husband , and four of his friends , from calcutta medical college , who have a passionate interest in theatre , agreed to act in her debut film .

treatment of female infertility through iui ( intra uterine insemination ) and ivf ( in - vitro fertilisation ) have already proven their effectiveness . but when a woman is infertile due to a congenital or acquired defect or her uterus is unable to carry the baby through the full term , then surrogacy is the only answer to get a genetically linked biological baby by hiring a non - defective uterus , the resting and growing place of the embryo . — dr rajesh das , actor and husband of bhaswati roy

while the economic scale of surrogacy is unknown , studies backed by the united nations in july 2012 estimated the business at more than $ 400 million a year with over 3000 fertility clinics across india . the largest is probably dr nayna patel’s akanksha infertility clinic in anand in gujarat .

infertility is on the rise owing to a host of reasons such as pollution , stress , hectic lifestyles and the use of cell phones . simultaneously , artificial reproductive techniques have made giant strides . most fertility centres find that couples who come to them for guidance are in their late thirties and early forties .

in the absence of any law , middle men extract money from families which need a uterus . gynaecologist dr shiuli mukherjee points out , “i ensure that i never repeat the surrogate mother . it is bad for her health . ”

doctors do realise that they may not use the same surrogate mother again but there is little restraint on stopping any woman from going to another fertility centre and applying again . sheer financial pressures will prompt them to go through it again . repeated pregnancies and a series of hormonal injections will adversely affect her health .

dr saswata banerjee , who plays the role of the protagonist’s boyfriend in the film , says , “my role in the film represents society’s attitude towards surrogacy . it is looked down upon . but while i do believe it is a social need , i do feel we have to ensure malpractices do not happen . we definitely need laws . moreover , surrogacy should not be seen as a profession . ”

dr rajeev agarwal , does not see this as exploitation as women come forward willingly to be surrogate mothers , “they make more money than they would in a lifetime and at the same time help another woman to become a mother . but what i don’t approve of is the unnecessary glamorisation of surrogacy . medical professionals should not encourage this . it should be done only in cases where it is necessary . ”

some medical practitioners feel the problem lies elsewhere . dr rohit gutgutia , who has been practising surrogacy for the last eight years says , “i am now seeing a rising trend in the requests for surrogacy , many times for frivolous reasons . it takes all our efforts to convince the couple that they do not need surrogacy . ”

there is a need for greater awareness about issues . after the film vicky donor , which dealt with the subject of sperm donation , was released , we were swamped with calls from those who wanted to be volunteers . they saw this as a way to become millionaires overnight , whereas in reality sperm donors go through a series of checks and neither is the payment as lucrative as it was made out to be in the film . — representative at a fertility centre

while bhaswati’s film will introduce the public to the concept of surrogacy , medical practitioners feel that mere guidelines are not enough and there is an urgent need for laws to protect both the surrogate mother and the offspring .

" i would like a public and i would like a film in which it is possible to exchange and communicate ideas and information . "

and so , gilliam scrapped cox and tod davies ' screenplay and had only ten days to write another . gilliam enlisted the help of tony grisoni ( queen of hearts ) and together they hammered out a screenplay at gilliam ' s home in london , england in may of 1997 . as grisoni remembers , " i ' d sit at the keyboard , and we ' d talk and talk and i ' d keep typing . " gilliam felt that the structure of the film should be organized much in the same way as the book :

his acting performance in the film was nearly as acclaimed as the screenplay , which opened him up to major hollywood roles , including oliver stone & apos ; s u - turn ( 1997 ) and the sci - fi blockbuster armageddon ( 1998 ) . also in 1998 , he gave a compelling performance in primary colors as richard jemmons , a character based on lively bill clinton adviser james carville . in 1999 , thornton received a best supporting actor oscar nomination for his portrayal of jacob mitchell , the tragic foil in sam raimi & apos ; s a simple plan . the following year , he directed matt damon and penelope cruz in a film adaptation of cormac mccarthy & apos ; s novel all the pretty horses .

sam raimi attended the 36th festival for the premiere of evil dead and brought with him a suitcase full of props used in the film , including the notorious foot with a pencil stuck in it .

the 2nd festival opened with robert j . flaherty ' s louisiana story . often mistaken for a documentary , it was in fact an early example of docu - fiction filmed in a hyper - realist style which misleads the viewer . in 1949 , virgil thomson won the pulitzer prize for music for his score to the film , which is still the only film score to be bestowed such an honour .

i first saw this film late at night on showtime , and thought noa another subtilted flick , but after about 15 min . i feel into it . it grabed me like a lonly cell mate .

it ' s gloriously gory at times - the film takes pride in its beautifully brutal practical effects - but at heart , turbo kid is a charming little oddity that makes an asset of its low budget .

jane campion ' s palme d ' or winner the piano was the opening gala at the 47th festival . her short film passionless moments screened at the festival in 1984 , discovered amongst hundreds of films submitted that year .

the festival premiered the 30th anniversary 4k restoration of russell mulcahy ' s classic highlander , with the film ' s star and michael powell juror clancy brown participating in an extended q & a with a capacity audience at cineworld .

given the inherent intrigue of this so - called " darwinian capitalism " — one can easily imagine spending decades paying off a lamborghini — it ' s astonishing how dreary this all is . even the minutemen , a wandering cadre of time bandits , are so prettily effete they would have been kicked out of alex ' s gang of droogs in a clockwork orange . and poor cillian murphy , playing a cop - like character known as a timekeeper who suspects will of murder , is given little to do but drive . and collect his per diem .

problem is , the movie doesn ' t commit to any of the several directions in which it meanders . is the romantic triangle poignant , or a gimmick ? do the guys joke and make small talk during robberies because this is a comedy , or because they are pathological narcissists ? the flashback structure is an annoyance , and by the time it is justified , it ' s too late : we ' ve already been annoyed . one of the joys of barry levinson ' s “wag the dog” ( 1997 ) was the way he juggled tones , moving from satire to suspense to politics . this time it ' s the audience who feels juggled .

born in 1955 in hot springs , arkansas , billy bob thornton eventually moved to los angeles , determined to make his living as an actor . in 1996 his career took off when he wrote , starred in and directed sling blade , which was awarded an oscar for best adapted screenplay . also earning an acting oscar nod for his role in a simple plan , he later directed all the pretty horses and has co - starred in numerous films , including monster & apos ; s ball , bandits and bad news bears , as well as the tv series fargo .

" i have always been a confirmed believer in the " film festival " as an incentive to higher standards of creative work , and anyone who has been to edinburgh will tell you that every visitor leaves with the resolve to do better things . "

the festival ' s theme of the film and the drama in 1963 explored the relationship between the dramatic arts and cinema with a special gala screening of an evening with the royal ballet including filmed performances from sleeping beauty with margot fonteyn and rudolph nureyev .

susannah york attended the festival for the gala screening of country dance , starring york and peter o ' toole , at the playhouse . the screenplay was written by scottish novelist james kennaway , and much of the film was shot in his native perthshire .

thornton starred in a string of movies in 2001 , including the comedy bandits , co - starring bruce willis and cate blanchett ; the offbeat the man who wasn & apos ; t there , made by filmmaking brothers joel and ethan coen and co - starring frances mcdormand and james gandolfini ; and the dark drama monster & apos ; s ball , co - starring halle berry , with thornton playing a hate - filled prison guard who ventures down a more humane path . the latter two films earned thornton twin golden globe nods , for best actor in a comedy and best actor in a drama , respectively .

maurice hatton’s long shot , featuring charles gormley as a producer trying to find sam fuller to direct his next film , was filmed during the 1977 festival and was first screened in 1978 , and again in 2010 as part of the after the wave retrospective .

actor johnny depp first met hunter s . thompson in aspen , colorado just before new year ' s eve , 1995 . depp left that initial meeting wondering why fear and loathing had not been made into a film . the actor subsequently invited thompson to do a one - night gig at the depp ' s nightclub , the viper room on september 29 , 1996 with the intention of asking the writer about doing a film version of his book . the opportunity never materialized but the two began corresponding via faxes .

even so , the film might have earned a grudging pass had seyfried and timberlake possessed one iota of chemistry . instead seyfried , whose enormous wig and abbreviated wardrobe transform her into a goggle - eyed bratz doll , seems as unappealing to her costar as she is to us . wobbling ridiculously on six - inch heels throughout — despite making several pit stops to change clothes and draw breath , sylvia inexplicably never grabs a pair of sneakers — this usually appealing actress is dragged through the film like so much luggage .

after attending the festival in 1954 as honorary president , on his return with fat city in 1972 john huston said , “ i rarely go to film festivals . the only one as such that’s worth a damn is edinburgh . my god , it’s unique . ”

sylvain chomet ' s the illusionist was the opening gala of the 64th festival , celebrating a unique hand - drawn animation set in edinburgh . the film is based on an unproduced script written by jacques tati in 1956 , between mon oncle a nd play time .

depp was given complete access to every memento the writer saved from his 1971 trip to las vegas . the actor read through the writer ' s notebooks ( which included an unpublished chapter entitled , " the coconut scene , " which gilliam placed in the film ) only to realize that " the freakiest thing was that it was all real , that the reality was as insane as the book . " he rummaged through thompson ' s wardrobe at the time : hawaiian shirts , a patchwork jacket , a safari hat , and a silver medallion given to him by acosta . thompson graciously allowed depp to wear it all in the film . thompson even let depp borrow the red shark : the giant fire engine red convertible that the author took to vegas , which was also used in the film .

the movie , directed by barry levinson and written by harley peyton ( “twin peaks” ) , is told in a flashback and actually begins with the news that the two men have been shot dead after a failed hostage situation . cut to a tabloid tv show whose host got an exclusive interview shortly before the final shootout ; joe and terry narrate their career , try to justify themselves , and say kate was an innocent hostage and not a fellow criminal . eventually the film works its way back to the fatal robbery it began with , and to the classic line , “the suspects are in a shootout with themselves . ” the film has laughs sprinkled here and there . i liked the way the confused terry asks joe , “what ' s on our mind ? ” and the way kate ' s preoccupied husband , a self - involved hotshot , goes on tv to tell the kidnapped woman : “i ' m going to spain next week . if the kidnappers want to reach me , they can get in touch with my people . ” and i liked the jolly little fireplug of a bank manager who is delighted to meet the “sleepover bandits” in person , but cannot take them seriously .

many filmmakers over the years had tried to make films out of hunter s . thompson ' s books but the first completed effort didn ' t surface until 1980 with where the buffalo roam . art linson ' s film liberally mixed thompson ' s real life with his books and starred bill murray and peter boyle as thompson and oscar acosta ( a . k . a . dr . gonzo ) , respectively . thompson even served as a consultant on the film but this did little to translate the author ' s warped vision to the big screen . while watching buffalo roam , it becomes readily apparent that , despite murray ' s inspired performance , director linson had no idea what thompson ' s books were trying to say . the film seems more like a collection of rather tame highlights from the man ' s work .

edinburgh international film festival was founded in 1947 as the " first international festival of documentary films " . opened with a ceremony at the playhouse cinema , speeches of welcome were made before the very first films : the cumberland story , the seventh age and the festival of youth .

for the opening gala screening of betty blue at the playhouse in 1986 , the festival paid for a new screen to be installed to ensure a flawless image . director jean - jacques beineix , whose groundbreaking diva premiered at eiff in 1981 , was present to support the film .

gilliam also felt that the more surreal parts of the book could be transferred onto film if done right . for example , the imaginary bats that duke sees on the highway at the beginning of the book was one such passage the director felt could be translated into visual terms .

the theme of the festival in 1962 was the film and the literature , in celebration of the inspiration cinema has found in books , featuring screenings of such classic literary adaptations as a streetcar named desire , the innocents , last year at marienbad , wuthering heights and the quiet american .

if you like world cinema or musicals , you might like this . it ' s full of girl power and feminism . the story is unrealistic but if you look at it as a musical you could consider it a fantasy film . i enjoyed it , very different from hollywood films .

" in the future , " this one begins , " 1997 " . . . and its off to the excess races after that sublime proclamation in this postcard homage to those popcorn eaters of glorious youth when everything , even eating popcorn , was played bigger , larger than life , especially if it wasn ' t that at all . you ' ll need a raincoat for the buckets of corn syrupy blood splattered everywhere , and there ' s more android love here as a child of the wasteland fighting the corrupt powers that be , discovers a babe robot ( enough with the advertising , i ' m ready for my babe robot right now ! ) in the process . echoes of mad max thunderdome just everywhere , too , especially the souped up hotrods everybody be riding . what ' s not to enjoy ?

when georges franju attended eiff in 1959 with les yeux sans visage ( eyes without a face ) he left intending to make a film in scotland , taking with him copies of confessions of a justified sinner and the house with the green shutters - something which sadly did not come to pass .

the documentary 50 event was hosted during the festival celebrating the founding of the british documentary film movement in 1929 with john grierson ' s the drifters , and with many of the key players in attendance including forsyth hardy , harry watt , edgar anstey , charles oakley and d . a . pennebaker .

david mackenzie ' s young adam screened as the festival ' s opening gala , and won the audience award , in 2003 . based on alexander trocchi ' s novel , the film was a veritable showcase of british talent : it starred ewan mcgregor , emily mortimer , peter mullan and tilda swinton .

fear and loathing contains many funny moments , bits of dialogue , and visual zingers as duke and dr . gonzo make their way through the surreal landscape that is las vegas . the humour in this film is simultaneously disturbing and hilarious - - a pitch - black satire of american culture and excess .

to bad i was not well informed in my youth ! ! ! this movie was phenominal ! not only was the plot very well paced but the music was incredible ( i bought the soundtrack too ! ) . what i found interesting that the movie was done in german and was subtitled in english but all of the songs were done in english . what i also found surprising is that all the songs were done by the actresses and they were not and never were a group ! they could have been a very , very good all girl rock band ! do an imbd search of bandits to get a synopsis of the plot and all i can say is get the movie and find the soundtrack if you can !

newly appointed eiff patron karen gillan attended the 69th festival as a member of the michael powell jury , joining kenny turan and ian hart , and in support of her short film coward . karen was returning to edinburgh after her visit to the festival in 2013 for the closing gala not another happy ending .

this is the kind of film that people will either really love or hate - - there is no middle ground . gilliam ' s film is going to be one of those movies that ' s destined to become an instant cult item . as hunter s . thompson puts it in the book , " there he goes , one of god ' s own prototypes . a high - powered mutant of some kind , never even considered for mass production . too weird to live , too rare to die . " fear and loathing in las vegas is pure gonzo filmmaking for people who like weird , challenging films .

kelly macdonald attended the rainy european premiere of disney pixar ' s brave , the 2012 closing gala . kelly provided the voice of merida , the film ' s lead . eiff has hosted premieres of many pixar films over the years including wall - e , toy story 3 , inside out and finding dory .

in 1972 lynda myles , laura mulvey and claire johnston programmed a season of films dedicated to women directors that was truly groundbreaking and the first of its kind in europe . the following year , myles was appointed as artistic director of the festival , the first ever female director of a film festival anywhere in the world .

the festival screened hellmuth costard’s football as never before in which several 16mm cameras followed george best in close - up for the whole match between manchester united and coventry city . rarely seen since and thought to be a ‘lost’ film , it was recently unearthed for a screening in dublin on the 10th anniversary of george’s death .

i think that this is indeed some kind of genius film , but in a really demented way that i would have a hard time verbalizing to someone who didn ' t tap into what gilliam is trying to do . i can see why fear and loathing received a critical shellacking from all the usual pundits ( ebert et al . ) . it ' s a very odd film - - a 128 - minute acid trip from beginning to end with no respite , no rest stops , and no objective distance from which to view the whole insane picture safely . you are plunged headlong into this weird , wild world along with the characters .

william friedkin ' s controversial killer joe , starring matthew mcconaughey , juno temple and gina gershon , was the festival ' s opening gala in chris fujiwara ' s first year as artistic director . the exorcist and the french connection director friedkin came to edinburgh with gina gershon to present the film to audiences at the festival theatre .

abel gance ' s 5 hour epic napoleon closed festival director jim hickey ' s first eiff with carl davis ' live score performed to a capacity audience in the playhouse - the largest audience to see the film in britain since it was made in 1927 . the screening was promoted with a parade through the grassmarket in august 1981 .

sigourney weaver was in edinburgh for the festival ' s 60th edition , receiving an eiff diamond award for outstanding contribution to world cinema and attending the premiere of her latest film , snow cake , which also starred alan rickman . tilda swinton , d . a . pennebaker , mike leigh and ken loach were also presented with awards .

the golden thistle award was presented by george singleton to carol reed marking him as one of the most distinguished figures of the british film scene . the festival included a season of his work ; odd man out , the fallen idol , the third man , an outcast of the islands , the man between and our man in havana .

depp ' s research culminated after a week when thompson shaved almost all of the actor ' s hair for the film and entrusted him with the very car he used in the trip . the actor soon became thompson ' s roadie and in charge of security for the proud highway ( a collection of thompson ' s letters ) book tour .

annie hall opened the 31st festival at the abc cinema , beginning a longstanding association with the work of woody allen who , impressed by the faith shown in the film , specifically requested that the festival host the uk premiere of manhattan in 1979 . eiff also premiered broadway danny rose ( 1984 ) and the purple rose of cairo ( 1985 ) .

mark cousins ' first festival as artistic director presented the premiere of the usual suspects , a film that went on to become one of the most iconic of the decade , with kevin spacey winning an oscar for his performance . also screening in 1995 were the basketball diaries , desperado , small faces and eiff audience award winner muriel ' s wedding .

terry gilliam seemed like the perfect choice to direct this film . the theme of insanity had always figured into his films but has since taken a more prominent role with his last couple of projects . as a result , fear and loathing completes an informal trilogy based on madness that includes the fisher king ( 1991 ) and twelve monkeys ( 1995 ) .

as a throwback to a retro 1980s style , it is a pity that it looks so cheap and goofy as if made by someone who had just left film school without a dime in his pocket , but despite its flaws , it is an entertaining pastiche full of energy , with leboeuf and ironside stealing the show and obviously having a lot of fun .

continuing his high - profile work , thornton headlined the 2003 comedy bad santa , and the following year he played davy crockett opposite dennis quaid & apos ; s sam houston in the big - budget feature the alamo . he also starred in the 2005 remake of bad news bears , drawing favorable reviews amid the film & apos ; s otherwise mixed reception .

columbia planned to quietly release the controversial easy rider and were concerned that the 1969 eiff premiere would take place in the 3 , 000 seat playhouse , with peter fonda in attendance . they threatened never to premiere another film at edinburgh . and then they saw the queue - hell’s angels from fife lined the pavement all the way up to the balmoral hotel .

eiff began the tradition of surprise movies in 1989 with peter greenaway’s controversial the cook , the thief , his wife and her lover , revealing the identity of the film only once the audience were in their seats . pulp fiction , la confidential , spirited away , my name is joe and the bourne identity were all screened as surprise movies at the festival .

billy connolly and judi dench both attended eiff in lizzie francke ' s first year as artistic director for the premiere of mrs brown at the dominion cinema . the film was an unexpected smash , transforming the career of hitherto unknown director john madden , who went on to helm shakespeare in love , captain corelli ' s mandolin and the best exotic marigold hotel .

all of these items only enhance depp ' s performance . in the film , he has literally transformed into duke / thompson , complete with the man ' s unusual bow - legged walk , sweeping arm movements , mumbling speech pattern , and the trademark dunhill cigarettes in a holder between clenched teeth . it ' s an incredible performance that transcends simple mimicry .

gilliam found that the american press refused to " even talk about fear and loathing . they won ' t say , ' ban the film ' - - they ' re too liberal for that - - so instead they seem to have adopted this attitude of , oh , maybe if we don ' t talk about it , it ' ll go away . that ' s modern america all over . " and judging by fear and loathing ' s quick demise at the box office and subsequent disappearance from theatres , this strategy worked . while most critics praised depp and del toro ' s performance , most found gilliam ' s film to be a muddled mess with no coherent structure : just one long debauched road trip .

two friends and convicts , joe ( bruce willis ) and terry ( billy bob thornton ) , break out of oregon state penitentiary in a concrete mixing truck and start a bank robbing spree , hoping to fund a dream they share . they become known as the " sleepover bandits " because of their modus operandi : they kidnap the manager of a target bank the night before a planned robbery , then spend the night with the manager ' s family ; early the next morning , they accompany the manager to the bank to get their money . using dim - witted would - be stunt man harvey pollard ( troy garity ) as their getaway driver and lookout , the three successfully pull off a series of robberies that gets them recognition on the fbi ' s ten most wanted list , and ultimately the reward for information leading to their capture is increased to $ 1 million .

lars von trier ' s controversial dancer in the dark opened the festival in 2000 , after winning the palme d ' or at cannes . björk , in her only role to date , won best actress at both cannes and the european film awards . the 54th festival also saw premieres of beautiful creatures , amores perros , audition and eiff audience award winner billy elliot .

while watching movies about music or musicians , i often sympathize with these poor bastards of actors : the script requires them to play - say - a guitar , but they obviously have no clue as to how to even hold this instrument . and then the singing voice sounds so suspiciously different from the one they talk with . . . in this respect , ' bandits ' is a welcome surprise : obviously , these actresses know far more than just the pure basics of their instruments and deliver a convincing performance as a rock band . and sitting through to the end of the credits reveals that they not only did their own singing , but wrote the major part of the music and lyrics by themselves , most notably " luna " jasmin tabatabai . for me , the great music more than compensates for the rather fantastic , sometimes clichéd plot with some minor holes . all in all , a remarkable movie !

bill forsyth , having first attended the festival in 1969 , returned with that sinking feeling in 1979 , and 1984 ' s opening gala , comfort and joy , which screened to a capacity audience at the playhouse . he was back in edinburgh in 1987 for a special screening of his recently completed film housekeeping - so recently that it missed the deadline for eiff ' s printed programme .

ralph steadman , who illustrated the book , was a good friend of gilliam and began to bug him over the years to do a film version of fear and loathing . in 1989 , gilliam remembers a " script turned up which briefly got me excited about the book again , but i was busy with another project and i ultimately decided that the script didn ' t capture the story properly . "

the festival , in hannah mcgill ' s first year as artistic director , premiered the feature film debut of acclaimed photographer and music video director anton corbijn , who has photographed bob dylan , r . e . m . , bruce springsteen , björk and u2 . control , a biopic on the life of the late ian curtis , lead singer of joy division , went on to win the michael powell award .

from there , the pace never slackened as gilliam and company shot fear and loathing on location in a fast 56 days on a lean budget ( by hollywood standards ) of $ 18 . 5 million . " one of the reasons i made this film , " gilliam remembers , " was to push myself and see if i could still work the way i used to : fast , furiously and cheaply . "

around the 3 / 4 - way mark , fear and loathing veers off into some really dark territory as the horror that accompanies chemical dependency rears its ugly head . i was worried that this element would be lost in the transfer from book to film and that it was going to be simply a " straight " comedy . thankfully , the darker edge of the book has been retained and reinforced in spades .

john huston was honorary president of the festival in 1953 , and returned in 1972 when he proclaimed eiff to be “the only film festival as such that’s worth a damn” . gene kelly came to edinburgh in 1956 for the premiere of invitation to the dance at the new victoria cinema , stating , " i have always been a confirmed believer in the " film festival " as an incentive to higher standards of creative work , and anyone who has been to edinburgh will tell you that every visitor leaves with the resolve to do better things . " clint eastwood , nick nolte , kathryn bigelow , sean connery , ewan mcgregor , chloe sevigny , richard e . grant , sigourney weaver , jennifer lawrence and robert carlyle - – just a few of the many amazing guests to have graced the festival with their presence over the years .

beyond gags about pools tables , behavioural patterns and material possessions , the castle reminds us of the value of small gestures , assuming the best in people , picking your fights and being fiercely loyal to those you love . when offered a tidy packet to sell his home , darryl responds with a line that distills the film ' s emotional essence : " you can ' t buy what i ' ve got . "

with the festival ' s title expanded to include ' realist , documentary , experimental ' , the opening gala of jack lee ' s adaptation of eric williams ' book the wooden horse represented another subtle move away from documentary - though based on real experience , the film was a studio picture albeit a low - budget one . sunday times journalist dilys powell described it as having " the poetry of unrehearsed adventure " .

set in an unspecified future where people are genetically programmed to time out at the age of 25 , the film echoes michael anderson ' s 1976 hoot logan ' s run , whose characters were catapulted into the sky at 30 unless they did a runner . but while anderson never lost sight of his film ' s primary pleasures — miniskirts , monorails and a lithe jenny agutter — niccol refuses to lighten up . in his us - versus - them dystopia , time can only be traded , earned or stolen , so the wealthy live forever while the rest of us survive on a minimum wage of 24 hours . credits and debits are transmitted by means of a glowing green bar code on your forearm , and since a bus ride can set you back 2 hours of your life ( and a car around 20 years ) , the poor do a lot of walking .

1994 saw the premiere of shallow grave , with danny boyle , ewan mcgregor , christopher eccleston and kerry fox in attendance . the film was a breakthrough for boyle and mcgregor in particular , both of whom have maintained a close relationship with eiff . clerks , dazed & confused , killing zoe , muriel ' s wedding and the last of england also screened at the 48th festival , the latter in tribute to the recently departed derek jarman .

this was likely achieved intuitively rather than engineered – sitch has spoken about how his father inspired darryl ' s character – and the secret can be found in the proverbial pool room . it is not the gaudy mugs and tacky souvenirs it contains that are in important , but the sentimental value they hold . likewise , it is not the characters ' plebeian behaviour that holds the film ' s focus but the sincere place from which it emerges .

what was it about the castle that connected so strongly with critics and audiences ? the wonderful thing about rob sitch ' s magnum opus ( he also directed the dish , a pleasantly fluffy soufflé of historical recreation , and working dog ' s shamelessly american - brand romcom any questions for ben ? ) aren ' t the jokes , which flow thick and fast , but the way in which the film manages to balance deprecation with tenderness and warmth .
