Reviewed by Dan Mancini Quote: "As elegant yet unpretentious as its lead actor, Bertrand Tavernier's Round Midnight expresses mythic truths, evokes an era, laments an under-appreciated art form, and tries to transform its audience into jazz fans. But even if it didn't do all that, simply watching Dexter Gordon play would still be worth a couple hours of your time."

Cinephiles mourned the closure of Dublin's Light House Cinema in 1996. Now the original owners, Maretta Dillon and Neil Connolly, are re-opening in a stunning, custom-built venue in Smithfield. But with arthouse films now available in several cinemas - some in the city centre - will enough of us make the trip to Dublin 7? Michael Dwyer pays a visit.

Esteemed French director Bertrand Tavernier's back catalogue is unearthed this week. We like this vivid collage of life in occupied Paris, set against the background of a beleaguered film industry. Rating:4
