Over seven hallucinatory days, a village with no name, in an undefined time and place, disappears. In Athina Rachel Tsangari’s tragicomic take on a Western, townsman turned-farmer Walter Thirsk and befuddled lord Charles Kent are childhood friends about to face an invasion from the outside world: the trauma of modernity.
Filmmaker Athina Rachel Tsangari, who captivated audiences with Attenberg (2010) at the Venice Film Festival and earned acclaim for Chevalier (2015) at Locarno, returns with this dreamlike adaptation of Jim Crace’s novel Harvest. Featuring cinematography by Sean Price Williams, our guest of honor in 2024, and a compelling performance by Caleb Landry Jones, this tale of modernity and its discontents premiered at the most recent Venice Film Festival.
