A middle-aged professor, who is also a successful translator, arrives at Spetses Island for her summer vacation. There she meets a young woman, mother of a child, whose troubled marriage, her extramarital affair and the actual acquaintance of the two opens up (redemptively?) the tap of the traumatic memories of her life.

Assisted by three tremendous female performances, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s admirable debut, based on the celebrated novel by Elena Ferrante, achieves in a cinematically attractive way a thoughtful revision on the concept of motherhood. She does this offering a most compassionate view, and an admirable declaration of Woman’s strength to so powerfully oppose patriarchal demarcations, confront human contradictions and discover the redeeming road to freedom and self-determination.

Vernacular range and wealth of moments, which open windows of thought to our own improvised walls of high-ceiling existential prisons, underline a film uncompromising, sullen but auspicious, constantly searching for meaning in the very phenomenon of life and the choices it imposes. Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival 2021, three Oscar nominations and outstanding recognition from critics and audiences alike mark this very promising debut. Ilias Dimopoulos

 

In attendance of the director Maggie Gyllenhaal, actor Peter Sarsgaard and members of the Greek cast and crew.
