Brazil, Croatia, Slovenia, United States | 2021 | Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic

Winner of the Camera d’Or for Best First Film at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, this slow-burning ”sunshine noir” (Variety) that was executive produced by Martin Scorsese focuses on Julija, a frustrated Croatian teen living on a paradisiacal (but remote) Adriatic island with her mother and controlling father. When the family is visited by a handsome and wealthy “old friend,” the defiant Julija sees this guest as a means to assert her independence and undermine her domineering dad. “A superb study in sustained subliminal menace.” –Screen Daily. Subtitles. 94 min.
