TU PUNTUACIÓN

One of the most striking debuts in recent memory, Dea Kulumbegashvili's feature marks the revelation of an exciting new voice in cinema. Shot in luminous 35mm long takes that boldly evoke isolation and longing, it tells a profound story of a woman's resilience facing communal hostility and violence.

In a sleepy provincial town, a Jehovah's Witness community is under attack from an extremist group. In the midst of this conflict is Yana, the wife of the community leader, whose familiar world is slowly crumbling around her. Meanwhile, a detective intrudes on her home with devastating consequences.

Defiance

NB I saw this on MUBI, which currently tacks on a 30min Q&A between the director and Luca Guadagnino - who was chair of the jury that awarded this film so richly. Without going too much into spoiler territory, this Q&A is very interesting, and the director very thoughtful, lively and entertaining.

As for the film, I found it very engaging, if slow. The lead actor's performance is the main draw, and IMHO she does an excellent job of quietly demonstrating the inner turmoil that grows in reaction to her situation at the beginning of the film, and the shocking events during the narrative.

The use of the fable of Abraham and Isaac at the beginning is key, I think, although perhaps I'm reading too much into it?

Worth a look though.
