THE NIGHT OF THE SUNFLOWERS

Spain/Portugal/France 2006 (15)
123 minutes

Directed by Jorge Sánchez-Cabezudo

Hollywood Film Theatre - 15 September 2008 - 7.30pm

Examining the fall-out from an attempted rape in rural Cantabria, and adopting a narrative structure which adheres to character rather than chronology, Sánchez-Cabezudo's masterly first film paints a picture of village life that eschews the cosy nostalgia of many continental films and their imitators, opting instead for a rueful fatalism.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS: A by now established formula, but entirely compelling, wonderful characterisiation and photography; I liked all the twists and turns. Very well put together. Kept your interest. What a pity he got away with it; Too long. Haunting music. Good in parts. Worthwhile staying with, though; Thought provoking but, I hope, a totally unconvincing plot; Very long, slow film. Boring.
