Making Up Amanda Rozzi Bazzani. A Cold Case Ballarat, 1988. ...
Under the Spanish sun…
The Soles are peach farmers who have occupied their land for generations on the basis of a handshake deal with the original owners. The sighting of a looming mechanical crane ushers into their lives an uncertain peach season and future.
An ensemble drama with 6 prominent characters is set in a lush Catalan setting where the camera settles on an eloquent focus on the rhythms of family life and playtime as the young family witnesses the intrusion of modernity on their traditions. Father Rogelio retreats into old customs, and teens Mariona and Roger take on new responsibilities that play out in the midst of generational and economic change in Spain. The film is inspired by the Director’s own family experiences. Winner of the Golden Bear for Best Film at the 2022 Berlin International Film Festival. Palace Films.
Catalan, Spain/Italy/France, 2022, 120 min. Dir: Carla Simón.
