Cannes screening (Directors’ Fortnight) Starring Francisca Walker, Gregory Cohen, Carlos Cayuqueo, Guillermo Lorca, María I zquierdo Director Marcela Said Dramatic debut by former documentary maker Marcela Said delivers powerful atmosphere in service of thin story. A bourgeois Chilean family spend summer at their lakeside estate in this atmospheric drama, which is playing in the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes. The narrative feature debut of former documentary director Marcela Said, The Summer of Flying Fish is full of arresting images of Chilean nature – ghostly morning mist, lapping waves, armies of moths, steam-shrouded hot springs. The story is shot through with class and racial friction, but falls short of the angry social polemic or politically charged horror movie hinted at in its pressure-cooker mood and creepy backwoods setting. Further festival bookings seem likely, but the localized context and opaque narrative will be a tough sell to overseas audiences. OUR EDITOR RECOMMENDS The mood is ominous from the start as pet dogs go missing, heavy-handed police harass the indigenous Mapuche population, and locals mutter darkly about mythic monsters stalking the woods. Meanwhile, wealthy landowner Don Francisco (Gregory Cohen) bickers with his rebellious teenage daughter Manena (h t t p://w w w .h olly w oodr epor t er .com /n ew s/ca n n esw ein st ein -pick s-u p-r eev es-5 2 6 2 1 0 ) Cannes: Weinstein Co.
