Director: Manuela Martelli
Starring: Aline Küppenheim, Nicolás Sepúlveda, Hugo Medina
Drama | Chile | 2022 | 1 hr 35 mins | Subtitles

Set three years into Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship, Manuela Martelli’s film debut shows how the regime carried out its culture of intimidation and fear. Carmen is a well to-do Chilean woman, married to a wealthy doctor, spending her time reading to a blind group through her church and socialising with her upper crust friends. She is busy trying to choose paint colour for the renovations on her summer home, but things change after she hears the sounds of a woman being violently arrested by Pinochet’s forces. When the family priest asks her to take care of a young man he is sheltering in secret, Carmen steps away from the quiet life she is used to. The film is based on a true story, showing how Carmen is drawn into the world of the Chilean political opposition.

The Solés are peach farmers who have occupied their land for generations on the basis of a handshake deal with the original owners, the Pinyols; the ambitious young Pinyol, doesn’t recognise this agreement, and begins to make moves to evict the family just as picking season starts. Low on funds and with a hard summer ahead, the Solés must contemplate an uncertain future. This spellbinding film focusses, in exquisite detail, on the rhythms of extended family life in rural Spain.

The Beasts (15) | EUROPEAN CRIME NIGHT 2 | The Rex

Director: Rodrigo Sorogoyen
Starring: Marina Foïs, Denis Ménochet, Luis Zahera
Drama | France | Spain | 2022
2 hrs 17 mins | Subtitles

A terrifically tense French-Spanish drama about the conflict between impoverished locals and privileged outsiders, The Beasts will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. French couple Antonie and Olga run an organic farm in the Spanish hills but antagonism begins to flare up between them and the local mountain people who have worked the valley for generations. The tension slowly rises to a fever pitch until it reaches an unforgettable climax in this searing drama based on a true story, which invites comparison to similarly powerful 70s classics such as Straw Dogs and Deliverance.

The Purbeck Film Festival is very grateful to Langham Wine Estate, whose support will make this a very special evening.
