Harvest
Buy ticketsA haunting and unflinching fable from Göteborg Film Festival favorite Tsangari, exposing xenophobia and ruthless capitalism as forces that destabilize power and order in an isolated farming village.
Following Attenberg (GFF 2011), The Capsule (GFF 2013), and Chevalier (GFF 2016), Athina Rachel Tsangari returns to Göteborg with a visually striking and timeless tale of a small, insular English village on the verge of collapse.
Caleb Landry Jones delivers a riveting performance as Walter, an outsider in the superstitious, pagan-influenced community – more open to strangers than his mistrustful neighbors. First, a surveyor arrives to map the village boundaries. Then, two traveling outsiders that swiftly are blamed when the barn burns down. Finally, a wealthy relative arrives, laying claim to the village’s shared lands as his own.
Driven by paranoia and greed, the village’s fragile order crumbles in a story that mirrors both modern anxieties and timeless struggles – visceral, haunting and utterly unforgettable.
