"We have become link animals. Goat drunk and lecherous." Mubi has debuted an official trailer for the film titled Harvest, made by the Greek filmmaker Athina Rachel Tsangari. This premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival last fall (view the teaser) in the Main Competition to mixed reviews. Harvest takes place in a remote village in medieval Scotland many years ago. Adapted from the novel by British writer Jim Crace, this stars Caleb Landry Jones as Walter Thirsk, the former childhood friend / manservant of the village's weak-willed landowner, Master Kent. Marked by superstition and scapegoating of outsiders, the town falls under new threat after Kent's iron-fisted city cousin comes into possession of the land, with new plans for agricultural profit. More from NYFF: "Shot in the sun-dappled Scottish countryside with natural light by cinematographer Sean Price Williams, Tsangari's most ambitious work to date is both carnal & cerebral... [A] reflection on man's relationship to the land, rich in atmospherics and thematic resonance." It also stars Harry Melling, Rosy McEwen, Arinzé Kene, Thalissa Teixeira, & Frank Dillane. This an alluring, mesmerizing shot-on-film project but it gets so brutal and dark and tragic, and it's hard to watch the second half when everything falls apart. Though if this trailer intrigues you, definitely catch this on the big screen. // Continue Reading ›
