    • Film Reviews

It looked unlikely for a moment there, but we're delighted to see Edinburgh International Film Festival, one of the world's longest-running film festivals, return for its 76th year.
We dig into four films from the programme, including Afire, the latest film from German master Christian Petzold, and Bette Gordon's feminist classic Variety, from 1983.
