(15) Andrea Arnold | UK | 2009 | 123’ | Cast | Awards

Newcomer Katie Jarvis excels as Mia, a tricky 15-year-old who has just one interest in life: urban dance. But the moves she practices are moody, introverted and subdued, rather like the dancer herself. One hot summer’s day her dysfunctional mother brings home a handsome stranger called Connor (Michael Fassbender) who promises to change everything and bring love into all their lives – but are things more complicated than they seem?. Powerfully acted, laugh out loud funny and profoundly moving, Fish Tank is film making of the highest calibre.

Mae Mia yn ferch anodd, 15 mlwydd oed, sydd ag ond un peth ar ei meddwl: dawns urban. Mae pethau’n newid gyda dyfodiad Connor, sy’n addo newid popeth, ond ydyw pethau’n fwy cymhleth na’r olwg gyntaf? Mae Fish Tank yn ddoniol, ac yn drawiadol a theimladwy iawn – dyma wneud ffilmiau o’r radd flaenaf.

“With a terrific performance by debutant Katie Jarvis, this gritty Essex drama shows that director Andrea Arnold is Ken Loach’s natural successor.” The Guardian

Jean-Francois Richet | 2008 | 113’

The concluding part in the tale of the life of the French gangster.  Since he was killed in a hail of police bullets in 1979, Jacques Mesrine has been elevated to the status of legend both by his detractors – to whom he was a monster – and his fans, to whom he was a misunderstood hero battling the establishment on behalf of the masses.  Was he an anti-establishment icon? Or just a shameless gangster who got the ending he deserved? 

Rhân olaf stori bywyd y gangster Ffrengig. Ers iddo gael ei ladd gan fwledi’r heddlu ym 1979, y mae wedi ei ddyrchafu at statws chwedlonol gan ei edmygwyr a’i ddifriwyr. Icon neu ddihiryn?

The first installment of a two part biopic of France’s public enemy No 1, the pathologically violent gangster Jacques Mesrine, who claimed to have killed 43 people and staged a jailbreak from every prison he was sent to. Retracing Mesrine’s steps through his first ventures in the criminal underworld to his Bonnie and Clyde-esque escape to Canada with his lover, Mesrine: L’Instinct de Mort is an unflinching depiction of a man on the edge of psychological stability.

Rhan gyntaf o biopig am brif elyn Ffrainc, y gangster treisiol Jacques Mesrine, a honnodd ei fod wedi llofruddio 43 o bobl a dianc o bob carchar y bu ynddo.  Mae’r ffilm yn bortread diysgog o ddyn ar ymyl sefydlogrwydd seicolegol.
