Heavily inspired by ‘Dracula', this movie even provoked a lawsuit with heirs of Bram Stoker at its time of release. Nowadays it's heralded as one of the most classic horror movies of all time, and as a silent work it remains a clear testament to the visual capacities of film.

10th June 2006: Kwaidan
Japan - 1964 - Unrated - 164mins
Director: Masaki Kobayashi

Brodeuses (2004)

by Eleonore Faucher with Lola Naymark * Ariane Ascaride * Maria Felix * Jackie Berroyer * Thomas Laroppe *88 mn * Eng s.t.

When Claire learns that she is five months pregnant at the tender age of 17, she decides to give birth anonymously. She finds refuge with Madame Melikian, an embroiderer for haute couture designers. And, day by day, stitch by stitch, as Claire's belly grows rounder, the threads of the embroidery create a filial bond between them.

A Tout de Suite (2004)

by Benoit Jacquot with Islid Le Besco * Ouassini Embarek * Nicolas Duvauchelle * Laurence Cordier * 95 mn * B&W * Eng s.t.

When she hangs up the phone after hearing her lover say "We're coming right now", she knows in her heart of hearts what she hadn't faced up to before: that this man she loves, this "prince" from nowhere, is a hoodlum. He has just robbed a bank and a man got killed. It's the mid-1970s. She's nineteen years old. Right now, as if in a walking dream, she falls headlong from the tight, narrow space of her father's uptown apartment into a weaving world of escape - Spain, Morocco, Greece - and from being an almost well-behaved girl into the life she's always wanted, for better or worse.

Friday, June 16, 20h00
Cause Toujours (2004)

by Jeanne Labune with Victoria Abril * Jean-Pierre Darroussin * Sylvia Testud * 87 mn * Eng. s.t.

My first is a month exasperating
My second is a mute (enigmatic)
My third is a house (worrying)
My all is a film, which takes the form of a fantasy, about mistrust and its contrary: trust.

Friday, June 23, 20h00

Jules is a postman who's mad about Opera. He’s crazy about Cynthia Hawkins, a Diva who refuses to have any album of her own; so he tries to record her voice illegally but is in trouble with pirate disc dealers …

COMMERCIAL CINEMAS IN CHIANG MAI

Chiang Mai is not without good cinemas for film buffs. Although only two cinema operators are competing to attract the big-screen fans, a wide variety of choices are on offer daily from noon to midnight.

The Vista Entertainment Group

Established about 13 years ago, Vista theaters on the fourth floor of Kad Suan Kaew introduced the people of Chiang Mai to the multiplex theaters and the thrills of Hollywood magic. Of the seven digital-sound theaters in Kad Suan Kaew, Vista 1 - 4 offer a large capacity and big screen, while the rest are of medium and low capacity. Vista Group also has four other large capacity theaters, of which two at the 12 Huay Kaew arcade opposite Kad Suan Kaew also show English-speaking films.

Reservation: phone 053-894415 (Kad Suan Kaew), 053- 404374 (12 Huay Kaew)

Major Cineplex

A now household name for movie theater buffs in Thailand, Major Cineplex offers a relatively new cinema complex on the fourth floor of Central Airport Plaza. Although the theaters are generally of lower capacity, they boast more comfortable seats and superior audio-visual systems.

Reservation: phone 053-283939, or visit http://www.majorcineplex.com for on-line ticketing.
