Screenings

Thomas is called home from work by his wife Carla after she’s involved in a road accident. But what disturbs him most is the issue that is really troubling her – a disconnect that spills into their relationship. Here, as in real life, the interpersonal is complex; Schanelec’s precise gaze belies the naturalism of her cinematic world, which is populated by unexpected moments of emotional truths and wonder.
