There is so much culture in Edinburgh at the moment but you will be forgiven for escaping to the cinema this Sunday if you go to see either of these wonderful films on offer.
First at The Filmhouse they are showing The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secretor de Sus Ojos)Â (18) at 13.15 17.45 and 20.30
Set in Buenos Aires and directed by Juan Jose Campanella this is a story of dramatic proportions. It concerns unsolved crime from 30 years before and a recently retired prosecutor who delves into the past. The film won the Oscar for best foreign language film earlier this year. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a whopping 92% so it is the film you should not miss this weekend.
The other unmissable film is The Illusionist (PG) which is showing at The Cameo at 13.45, 15.45, 17.40 and 19.30. Set in Edinburgh with beautiful hand drawn images, Sylvain Chomet’s film is a rather melancholy but lovely tale of the magician who might have had his day. The Cameo itself features in the film which was such a hit at the Edinburgh International Film Festival earlier this year.
