John (a fiercely unsympathetic Mullan) is a violent patriarch who beats his grown son sadistically and forces himself on his long-suffering wife. A lot of story is narrated in a voiceover as Chris looks backs at her life, as though she were reading a deeply pondered diary, giving events nostalgic depth.Īt the turn of the last century, the Guthrie family farms the land somewhere outside of Aberdeen. Like all of Davies’ work from Distant Voices, Still Lives to his 2011 The Deep Blue Sea, this is ultimately a film about memory and the bittersweet images from their pasts that haunt the characters. The film will almost certainly need the crutch of English subtitles outside the U.K. A greater problem is for the audience struggling to comprehend the brogue, which in the case of Mullan can be particularly elusive. Though her beautiful face and body (there are brief nude scenes) can be as distracting as some of her elaborate hairstyles, Deyn rises to the challenge of Scottish dialogue in the old-time accent of Aberdeenshire, along with her co-stars Peter Mullan and Kevin Guthrie. Holding up the farm is Agyness Deyn, the pixie-haired British supermodel who recently switched to acting ( Clash of the Titans, Electricity), in the career-changing role of Chris Guthrie, a bright farm girl who dreams of becoming a teacher. ![]() Cannes Hidden Gem: Taking on the Patriarchy With Jordan's 'Inshallah a Boy' ![]()
