‘Alcarràs’ Trailer: Carla Simón’s Golden Bear Berlin Winner Hits Cinemas January 6 Via MUBI
Winner of the Golden Bear at this year’s Berlinale Festival and Spain’s official selection for Best International Feature at the 95th Academy Awards, Spanish filmmaker Carla Simón’s sun-dappled and deeply moving sophomore film, “Alcarràs” was one of the most acclaimed films of the year from the festival circuit. Shot in Alcarràs, Catalonia (North Eastern Spain, where they generally don’t speak Spanish), in the Western dialect of the Catalan language, featuring a non-professional cast of actors, the film is a family drama about the disappearance of traditional peach-harvesting activities.
