Greek filmmaker Athina Rachel Tsangari’s latest production is “Harvest,” released in 2021, following her successful black comedy, “Chevalier” from 2015. Her previous works, “Attenberg” (2010) and “The Slow Business of Going” (2000), were critically acclaimed and positioned her as a leading figure in the Greek Weird Wave, alongside her compatriot Yorgos Lanthimos (“Poor Things”). Tsangari frequently produced Lanthimos’ early work. Now, she returns to Venice, where “Attenberg” created quite an impact, with “Harvest,” a more mature and serious film compared to her previous works. While it retains elements of the weird, it is primarily melancholic and tinged with woe, adapted from Jim Crace’s celebrated novel of the same name. The result is a poignant yet purposefully timeless exploration of a once-idyllic agricultural utopia.
