THE Discover Tuesdays slot at City Screen, York, will be filled by Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Plazza's ingenious Italian art-house gangster movie Salvo (12A) on Tuesday at 6.20pm.
After saving his employer from assassination, cold-blooded Mafia bodyguard Salvo (Saleh Bakri) tracks down the man responsible, only to find himself taking charge of his enemy's blind sister (Sara Serraiocco). What's more, he becomes powerfully drawn to her in a haunting movie that defies genre expectations.
Akira Kurosawa's influential Japanese film from 1950, Rashomon (12A), will be shown in the World Cinema Matinees programme on Sunday and Thursday at 10.45am.
Kurosawa depicts a nobleman and his wife being set upon by a bandit, but the story of what happened becomes less and less clear as the director shows the incident from different perspectives in a piece of bravura film-making with a moral conundrum at its core.
