Alcarràs (2022)
Gives you something to think about!
This movie is so much more than just a "Spanish family drama". Between somewhere warm, welcoming and cold, harsh and melancholic. The family perfectly portrays the generational changes and different problems through a persons lifetime. Also seemingly stands tall against globalisation and "greenwashing". The solar panels in my reading represent the end of the era of human labour, and also points out the flaws of the new green movements.
I could go on for hours about the minor details, but let me conclude my thoughts in one simple sentence: A complete masterpiece that has its own flaws and unique features.
Considering that this is the second movie of Carla Simòn, I can assume that she will get even better at directing.
Whatever happens, I'll keep my eyes on her work from now on!
