Winner of the 2022 Golden Bear, the highest award at the Berlin International Film Festival, Carla Simón’s Alcarràs is a rich, poignant tale about the impact of industrial development on agriculture (a Catalan peach farm in Spain) and a close-knit family’s fragility and love for a cherished place. Filled with remarkable nonprofessional performances and sharp perceptions of family dynamics–the power of old age and of childhood–Alcarràs is both sunlit and grave. The loss of a farm to solar development is presented with searing political conscience. ~AM
