After the acclaimed Attenberg (2010, Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival) and Chevalier (2015, Best Film at the Locarno Film Festival), Athina Rachel Tsangari returns with Harvest, an adaptation of Jim Crace's novel Harvest. Tsangari (an exponent of the new wave of Greek cinema alongside Yorgos Lanthimos and Georgis Grigorakis) tells the story of an isolated rural community of indeterminate name and place. The lives of its inhabitants begin to change with the unexpected arrival of three strange characters: a cartographer, an immigrant and a banker. Nature comes alive in the sensual, almost painterly images of Harvest. Shots that accompany the atmosphere of constant mystery, shaping a poetic fable about modernity and its traumas. The cast is led by Caleb Landry Jones (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Nitram) and Harry Melling (The Queen's Gambit, Harry Potter). Produced by Rebecca O'Brien (known for her work with Ken Loach) and directed by Sean Price Williams (director of The Sweet East, Official Section of the 68th SEMINCI).
