makes me wanna give alcarràs another chance because this is incredible

I was recommended to watch this film because of similarities to The Florida Project. Really happy I was turned on to it. Very reminiscent of Ponette.

A six year old girl deals with the death of her parents and adjusting to a new family. Top notch performances and very strong feature debut film by Carla Simón.

Looks like Oscilloscope will be releasing the film in the States sometime soon. (early 2018)

grief isn’t any less painful when told through the eyes of a child. it’s a pain that is so palpable. a loss of innocence. one of the most nuanced, poignant performances i’ve seen from a child actor, on the same level as noah jupe in honey boy & brooklynn prince in the florida project.

Summer 1993 captures precisely what’s it like to grieve as a child. You’re too young to really explain or even go through the proper emotions, it just feels like a sudden shift in your life that you don’t completely understand and that’s what the film does so well. You slowly learn information, just bits and pieces just as a child would, it constantly feels like you’re missing out on the really important conversations just as a child would. You’re an outsider just as a child is.

like stepping into a memory as playful and painful as your tree-climbing days

me, crying for no reason: what the fuck now I like children

FINAL SCENE IS HEARTBREAKING

Mayúsculo ejercicio de recreación de lugares, experiencias y sentimientos.
Carla Simón necesitaba explicarnos su verano de 1993 y ahora podemos afirmar que el cine necesitaba que lo hiciese de esta manera. Desde esa perspectiva, dejando que las piezas encajen mediante minúsculas epifanías, trazando un círculo perfecto alrededor de un desconocido llamado dolor y con tres inmensas actrices afinadas con tesón.
Estiu 1993 es la infancia en toda su complejidad. Es también un testimonio cargado de autenticidad sobre las dinámicas de pertenencia. Es diminuta y espectacular.
Y sin que ningún monstruo visite a nadie.

the dad was hot

perfectly encapsulates what it's like to be a child understanding the world

Two things:
1. I am absolutely in love with this movie
2. Okay but where is Feldespata?
