Annie Silverstein
18:30 | GATE NARRATIVE
Kris (Amber Harvard) is a troubled, blank, 14-year-old girl growing up impoverished on the rural outskirts of Houston, Texas, separated from her mother who is serving time in a state penitentiary. Prone to aimless petty rebellion, Kris is forced to work for her neighbour Abe (Rob Morgan) who travels across the state trying to keep a foothold in the rodeo circuit, though he appears to be in denial about what his lifestyle is doing to his ageing body. Annie Silverstein’s evocative portrait of lost souls is a delicate, affecting wonder, one of the finest American debut features for this or many years. MH
Official Selection, Un Certain Regard, Cannes Film Festival, 2019
MARIGHELLA
Wagner Moura
20:15 | GATE NARRATIVE
Wagner Moura’s directorial debut is a ballsy, bloody and quite brilliant biopic focusing on the final year in the life of Carlos Marighella, the Marxist writer and guerrilla fighter who actively opposed Brazil’s ruthless military dictatorship during the 1960s. Seu Jorge delivers the acting performance of his career at the centre of this swaggering epic tale, presenting Marighella as a complex character, a doting father
and affectionate comrade who eagerly takes up arms against violent oppressors. In the age of Bolsonaro, Marighella has caused controversy in its home country and there’s no denying it is provocative. It is also urgent, technically impeccable and utterly thrilling. MH
