The Sower
Media:
Inspired by a short story written by Violette Ailhaud entitled "L'homme semence," "The Sower," the first feature of France's Marine Francen. begins with a stunning image of beauty and violence, of horses galloping over meadows at early dawn. That contrast plays out throughout the whole film. "The Sower" is a love story set in a hamlet in the hills of France in 1851 as Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's troops round up all its men, free-thinking Republicans, leaving the women. As the years wear on, finding a man to sire children becomes not just an emotional and physical but economic and political necessity.
"The Sower" captures the film's idyllic setting, but also the physicality of the women's harvesting, but also the delicacy of love story when a man does appear but also the near primal pact between the women that this man will be shared to ensure the future of the village and its legacy of freedom. Backed by prestige partners - producer Sylvie Pialat at Les Films du Worso, distributor ARP Selection in France, sales agent Celluloid Dreams - "The Sower" world premiered Wednesday at San Sebastián, going on to win its New Directors Award, one go the most prestigious for new talent in Europe.
