Masterful, visually stunning, and deeply affecting adaptation of Jim Crace’s acclaimed medieval novel, by Athina Rachel Tsangari (Attenberg), featuring Caleb Landry Jones (Get Out, Nitram), exploring rigid traditions and the sweeping changes of a new era in a small English village.

Following Attenberg (GFF 2011) and Chevalier (GFF 2016), Athina Rachel Tsangari returns to Göteborg with a striking adaptation of Jim Crace’s fascinating novel. Set in a fragile rural village in 17th-century England, the film portrays how the traditional way of life is threatened by external forces during a period of economic upheaval. Tsangari brilliantly captures the villagers’ lives, their connection to the land, and their growing suspicion of outsiders. And Caleb Landry Jones delivers an outstanding performance as Walter Thirsk, a widower and outsider in the superstitious farming community, who is more open to strangers than his wary neighbors.

With Sean Price Williams (Good Time, The Sweet East) and his masterful 16mm cinematography, along with a remarkable cast, Harvest explores the clash between tradition and change. Driven by internal paranoia and external greed, the old order crumbles in a story that resonates with both the present and the past – powerful, haunting, and unforgettable.
