ALCARRÀS by Carla Simón wins the GOLDEN BEAR at the Berlinale 2022
Congratulations to the cast and crew and some great reviews!
"For its extraordinary performances - from the child actors to the actors in their eighties - for the ability to show the tenderness and comedy of family as well as the struggle, and for the portrayal of our connection and dependence to the land around us."
M. Night Shyamalan, President of the Jury
“This Spanish Garden of Eden is profoundly authentic and moving.
It’s quite remarkable that this is only Carla Simón’s second film.”
Screen - Fionnuala Halligan
“Beautifully observed and richly inhabited. Carla Simón confirms the promise of
her debut Summer 1993 and the strength and consistency of her directorial voice
in this poignant, rippling study of an extended family.”
Variety - Guy Lodge
“Enthralling. Carla Simón’s superb film about a farm in decline is proof that fiction is sometimes the most powerful way to uncover the truth. Hugely accessible.
It manages a light, improvisatory mastery and a grave yet sunlit tableau of
an ending that you’ll never forget.”
The Telegraph - Tim Robey
