Certain Women, Kelly Reichardt, USA, 107’, OV with Spanish subtitles (april 15), OV with Basque subtitles (april 22), DCP
The Americana Film Festival Catalogue says:
“A lawyer who has a difficult relationship with a client, a woman who tries to make money by dubious means and a ranch hand who falls for her teacher. Three little stories set in the impressive landscape of Montana. Three stories, presented to the viewer without any context, without beginning or end, so minimal they feel almost anecdotal, so neatly interwoven the dividing lines are blurred. These vignettes of strong yet vulnerable women are nevertheless deeply moving. The story and the inevitable reconstruction we are called upon to carry out is quite compelling. Everything about this feature draws in the viewer: the spaces, the smells, the earth, the solitude, and the lives of these women we are allowed to observe, almost as if we were allowed to spy upon them in their most secret intimacy.
Director of acclaimed features such as Meek's Cutoff, Wendy & Lucy or Old Joy, Kelly Reichardt is one of the most prestigious Indie filmmakers in the United States. Certain Women boasts a superb female cast, featuring Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart and Michelle Williams, an old favourite of Reichardt films. This movie was nominated for several prestigious awards, among them Best Director at the Independent Spirit Awards, and is listed amongst the best pictures of the year, proudly occupying fourth position on the always highly anticipated Sight & Sound top list."
