Christian Boltanski, Damián Ortega and Alice Neel impress in this year's strongly international show, while Inverleith House celebrates in style
A vision of bright reeds shimmers across the lake on the tiny island. Each is tied with a label and capped with a ceramic bell. Simple strips of Perspex, these labels appear white, then silver, then barely visible in the breeze, resembling the leaves of the willow tree above. The silvery music of the bells is the sonic equivalent of the shivering labels.
It is a beautiful sight, a son et lumiere for the Lothian landscape that doubles as a commemoration of the limitless dead. For Animitas, by the great French artist Christian Boltanski, takes its title from the Chilean roadside shrines honouring ancestral souls. Boltanski's labels are nameless, however, as if to embrace all the dead of the world. His installation murmurs now in the Scottish air, releasing its song, but those currents pass freely all over the globe.
The most beautiful gallery in Edinburgh if not Britain is Inverleith House in the botanic gardens
Alice Neel remains without precedent as a portraitist of marvellously awkward insights

From 1994 to 2003, she was one half of trip-hop duo Moloko with her then partner, Mark Brydon, releasing their debut album Do You Like My Tight Sweater? in 1995. In 2005, she released her debut solo album Ruby Blue, followed by Overpowered in 2007 and Hairless Toys, which earned a Mercury prize nomination, in 2015.

Sometimes, the sum of dumb decisions can equal a great one.
For at least a decade, the Corporation of London tried to erase or partly erase a group of buildings known as the Smithfield General Market and replace it with commercial development. Part of their motive was to raise enough money to cover their liabilities for maintaining underground railway tunnels that passed underneath, so they and their developer partners stacked up their schemes with as much valuable volume as they could. Those schemes then came crashing down under the scrutiny of two public inquiries.
The chance is there to make a museum exceptional in Britain and the world, like none other

With 2004's espionage sequel The Bourne Supremacy, director Paul Greengrass changed the face of popcorn thrillers, combining the docudrama grit of Bloody Sunday with super-slick thrills that left the Bond franchise in the dust. So successful were the Bourne movies that when Greengrass and leading man Matt Damon walked away from the Robert Ludlum-inspired series after the perfect ending of 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum, the studio cooked up The Bourne Legacy, an empty actioner with a gaping hole where its star and soul should be, idly trading on the memory of past glories.
Now, after reuniting on 2010's underrated Green Zone, Damon and Greengrass are back with Jason Bourne, a breathlessly confident thriller with a self-consciously modern edge that casts its antihero adrift in a post-Snowden world of surveillance and social media. Replete with heated exchanges about the pay-off between personal privacy and public order, the new movie (written by Greengrass and his long-term editor, Christopher Rouse) combines fist-fighting with cyber-stalking in impressively ruthless fashion, barrelling through its contemporary landscape like a cinematic bull in a rolling-news china shop.
Damon injects a much needed air of humanity. His speech may be sparse, but his body is expressively talkative

Poster source: Posteritati Staff Pick
“Vasek and Honza, two pupils of an elementary school in a small village, artfully move through the expositions of the Brno fair. They collect many leaflets, thoroughly inspect everything and constantly gorge themselves with various delicacies, which gives Vasek a bad stomach. The next day, however, everything is all right. These two boys, whose overactive imaginations keep them far from the top of the class, tell their classmates about their adventures, both real and made-up. In their dreamed-up world, there is an automatic machine which can fulfill one wish to everybody.” NFA.cz on IMDb
